Description I did this one a few years ago. I think the date is on the illustration. Sometimes I have visual flashes in my head, and I see a "scene" for a split second. I saw her turning to glance, in the rain.
Pencil, and painted in Photoshop.

Like your stuff a lot. Reminds me a bit of Lee Weeks and Romita Jr. Very fluid and even your stationary images are dynamic.

Thanks! I luv Romita Jr.'s stuff! Its bursting at the seams 'DYNAMIC'! - though I haven't been up to date on his newer works.

Great work! I love her expression and the colors/lightning. It kind of feels like a photo where you captured her at the right moment. The out of focus background is a terrific idea which works perfectly with the photo/instant feeling.

It certainly captures the moment, even if it was just a spilt second in your head! The painterly style works great! A wondeful little piece!

firewolf, γ‚γ‚ŠγŒγ¨γ†οΌ Japan for 4 months... must have cost a bundle! If not, let me know how you did it!

Well... I won't say things weren't expensive! Especially since the dollar was plummeting halfway through my stay. But since I was with a study abroad program, I was able to get a few scholarships that helped with the cost of the $1000 plane ticket and other things while I was there. Tokyo is certainly a pricey city! But I definitely bought myself (and family) plenty of souvenirs as well

If you are really interested in living in Japan, you should look into programs for teaching English over there! I know a few people who are doing that, and it's generally a 2-3 year contract! It's definitely a more affordable way to enjoy Japan for a longer time I'm thinking about it myself! γŒγ‚“γ°γ£γ¦οΌ

I like her expression very much. The detail of her and the background is very impressive while keeping the image of heavy rain intact.
