Description
This is for my cousin who's getting married this weekend.My mum couldn't find a card that 'suited them' so she said 'they're artsy. You're artsy. Make them something.'
So I painted this.
Their whole wedding has this like bird and fox theme thing going on. I'm not really sure what it's about. I assume the fox is representative of my cousin and the bird is supposed to be his fiancee. But...I don't actually know. Just a guess.
Anyway. Went for a Japanesey kinda thing because it seemed appropriate. Animals and flowers are Japanesey right? Plus our grandfather was a Japanese history professor and served as a Japanese interpretor in WWII and was basically just obsessed with Japanese culture in general so I feel like it's got some kind of significance on that side of my family.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm just bullshitting.
Oh and the character thing is supposed to mean love. I have no idea if it's accurate. I just googled 'japanese character love' and that one popped up a couple times so I assume it's right. Sorry if it's not

That's...Yeah, that's right.
Although I could only read it because that's "Love" in Chinese. xD Maybe it's the same for Japanese.
It's breath-taking, I must say.

Darkling assured me it was right. And she's in Japan..so...she must know something right?
Thanks Flaaf

<3 Seriously, I love how you did the brush-work.
I have a brush-painting kit, and I can't even make the ink correctly. xD

Oh I tried one of those calligraphy set things once...
Failed miserably.
I just used watercolors and a regular paintbrush

I don't think it helped that I don't know how to draw to begin with. That kind of messed up the Chinese brush art. XD
You're one of my favorite artists, for serious. You're not afraid to speak your mind, and your art reflects your personality.

Haha...yeah...that may be the same story for my attempt at handwriting with it.
My handwriting is shit o.o
Wow thanks Flaaf...that means more than you know.

Don't mention it. Your art is awesome.
My handwriting is more or less decent. But I prefer using my typewriter or a laptop.

=3 Yes
You shouldn't fight with somebody who spends 8 hours a day learning this crap. They're bound to know what's right or wrong.
^ Me.

The character is correct.
It's just calligraph-ied.
kthx.

How is it correct? It'd be fine if the lines didn't fully connect or the bottom portion (you3) was turned on its side, but no matter how you look at it there's too many dots below the roof, ones that don't add up.

AH, never mind. She wrote/painted the very traditional version.
Chinese/characters in general are confusing sometimes. Dx

The character isn't so correct...but rather close, if I know my Chinese [and both the Chinese and Japanese language share the same character for ai4, "love"]. Still, I don't know if you care or mind its incorrectness to much, but either way. -shrug- :3

Yeah I figured it's not. As long as it has the general notion and doesn't mean something absolutely ridiculous, I don't mind too much.
