Description
Dear ~Kung-Foo ,Why do you so rarely include backgrounds in your paintings? You always leave everything so white! What the dilly-yo?
Regards,
Nameless Watcher

Dear Nameless Watcher,
This is why.
Bacon,
~Kung-Foo
Filed under Horror because, y'know... Eff IS a zombie and all. This is the more... um. Active version of the picture used in Oh Effs layout . Yeah.
11"X14" watercolor painting done on Strathmore Coldpress paper (since someone will inevitably ask). Inked with a .005 zig pen, if you must know. Some lighting effects done in Photoshop. Perspective, done while drunk. I'm sure. I mean, what the hell, right?
I want to try to do an actual Halloween-themed pic again this year, but in case I dont have time, this'll have to suffice as my "Happy Halloween Y'all!" picture.

I think the way you did the background is perfect for your style. :0 I'm not gonna say you should or shouldn't continue doing backgrounds, but I hope you don't think it sucks! ;_;
Anyways, lovely shadows and perspective. And awesome colors as usual. *3*

I have a problem with backgrounds too....i end up focusing so much on the actual figurepiece that i'm at a loss of what to do with the background.
Neway...luv the concept of this. I wonder if it's one of your OCs though...that would make it quite interesting. Is the package for you? If so, are you returning your chara to the depths of its creation?
lol...too deep, too deep.
gotta take a quiz now. am in college class.
bai bai

I COMPLETELY understand about the backgrounds. I hate trying to make them with a passion rivaled only by my sock obsession. I know that sounds wierd, but bear with me. It's 1 a.m. here and I've not slept for 2 days.
Okay...aaaanyway, I love this pic. Original concept, eye-catching color, and insane amount of detail. It's the recipe for gorgeous. =^.^=

Gorgeous watercolors- as in all of your work that I've seen.

no no no, I use real, actual, messy watercolors, which I then scan XD On some paintings though, like this one, I mess around with the lighting in Photoshop 8D

Despite your drunkeness when you drew the background, *I* like it. I love the curving of it... and you should be happy you can at least draw a background... because mine are horrifying. There's a reason why I'm putting myself in the background and prop drawing class as soon as I can.

Backgrounds are overrated! But you should totally do them more often if this is the end result. The perspective is an awesome kind of cracked, and I love the detailing on his hair and clothes.

Coldcompress paper~ mmmm so good with water colors...
I love the perspective and the colors. The composition and the contrast of colors is very catching. The hint of a kitty in the smaller box won me over.
