Description For school, the topic was book cover. I chose Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

I was halfway through the first painting when the file got corrupted and everything was lost, somehow from that frustration I went turbo and redid this new one in about a day.

Anyway the format sorta works as a wallpaper too, so enjoy!

your teacher must feel blessed to see such beauty come out of an assignment they gave. This should be used as the actual book cover.

It is so beautiful! I love it!

I especially love how you did the birds and how the skin is showing through the geisha's makeup, creating the contrast!

Lovely!

Wow, there are so many mixtures of different effects, it seems impossible to have ever been made. @.@ It's amazing, and I love the red color, and how the different details flow into one another.

Amazing work! *A* I love that book, Memoirs of a Geisha. I read it two years ago in 6th grade, and I thought it was so beautifully written. I saw the movie beforehand, and unless you read the book first the movie is very confusing. It didn't really spoil anything for me since I didn't know what was going on in the movie. XD;

You're welcome! :3

Currently I'm reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan which seems similar to Memoirs of a Geisha in writing style, but I like Memoirs of a Geisha more.

Elegant. I'm in love with the deep colors you chose. The reds, purple, pink, orange, yellow. It's absolutely stunning.

Took my breath away. So, you worked your magic on me. (:
