Description
Originally intended to be called "Vomit Girl." I think I like this one better.Anyhow, this isn't a character driven piece, so there's no interesting backstory to her. She's just sitting on a bench, waiting for maybe a person or vehicle. Or rain. But some of you are probably still back at the first sentence wondering about vomit.
Let's just say that instead of a bag of oranges on the ground, it was a larger, soppier bag of you-know-what. Ultimately I decided against it because it was just gross and I wasn't really looking forward to drawing stuff oozing out of the corners.
This turned out to be a fun one to do. I tried to emulate water coloring with a vector brush using a whole bunch of alpha pallets (ranging from 2~25% in opacity). It was a lot of layers. I don't know how many, though, since I'm using groups in Flash instead of actual layer-layers.
Incidentally, this is probably the first haiku/senryuu I've written in years. If for some reason you can't read it, it says:
"A bird on my head
I must go to the restroom
...it is too late now."

EDIT2: Alright, looks like it's working again. Thanks, dA!

Love it! Just dicovered it in your gallery whilst looking for something else.... I love haiku that isn't full of self-important, pretentious meaning.....

This reminds me of cute, pretty, artsy covers of journals I can't buy due to engrish things such as the text in your piece. I enjoyed.

Would it be possible to elaborate...?

you use lots and lots of low-alpha brush strokes, and layer them on top of each other using Groups.

i understand low alpha and layering them on top of each other, but why use groups? teach me oh wise one!

JohnSu In reply to Zerochan923600 [2010-03-24 04:09:06 +0000 UTC]
Because for layering, you have to use either Groups, Layers, or Symbols. Groups are by far the fastest to create and the least clutterful.
