Description
"They might want to laugh, but the smile would be slow to come. They might want to cry, but the tears wouldn't well up till the next day..."
– 2046 (2004)
Continuing my sci-fi(ish) series... here's a painting inspired by Wong Kar-Wai's 2046. The color palette of this film is very beautiful, a lot of deep reds, sea greens, and yellows. This particular character is the "delayed-reaction android" (played by the gorgeous Faye Wong.)
Eventually I want to finish pieces from Wong Kar-Wai's entire repertoire! This was a closing piece from my solo show MOMENTS .
Painted with references on a Cintiq 21UX tablet in Adobe Photoshop.
STEP-BY-STEP PAINTING PROGRESS: soon | REBLOG ON TUMBLR: alicexz.tumblr.com/post/597143…
EDIT 04/22/14: Did a significant repaint of this! Wasn't happy with a lot of the details from the previous version.

the strokes of the background are somehow perfect in this piece, adding a motion in the stillness.
(not sure how this movie never crossed my radar, added to queue.)

Lovely picture, especially how the colours reflect her mood in the image and that of the film, which is one of my favourite films by Wong Kar-wai.

Never heard of the movie, but I went to imdb.com and looked it up. Still don't know much about it, but your artwork, not surprisingly, is spot on.

I highly recommend it! It's a strange but beautiful movie. And Zhang Ziyi gives the performance of her life (gotta do a piece on her character too.)
