Description Inspired on a certain level by the ethereal song "Houwa" ("Saturation"), which you can find on the "All About Lily Chou-Chou" soundtrack. I adore Salyu's vocals probably more than any J-Pop singer out there. The words reach "Houwa e no iriguchi", or "entrance to saturation". It's part of a bigger, line though:

i miss you, i miss you
anata no kuchibiru ni chikazuite shimatta
ato ichi-miri ni aru houwa e no iriguchi
[i miss you, i miss you
your lips came close
one more milimetre and saturation is opened]
(Forgive me if it's not that correct, folks)

Watercolor, pencil, gel pen.

Song lyrics © Lily Chou-Chou/Salyu/Takeshi Kobayashi

You can find mp3s of the Lily Chou-CHou soundtrack and Salyu's solo work (Salyu voiced Lily;s stuff in the movie) on Limewire and the like. Happy hunting!

I found this link in your Lilyphila post and I really like your artworks so much because theyre beyond gorgeous! Gee I envy you, your artworks seem to be even more ethereal than the film itself (considering how much I really love All about Lily Chou-Chou, Im a die hard fan ^_^ Well done!

I made a little drawing of Shiori Tsuda from the film but that childish doodling I created wouldnt come near comparing yours hehehe.

You should make a series of All about Lily Chou Chou artworks and then compile them into a calendar series!!!

Thanks so much for the lovely comment! Yeah, my fanart paintings seem to be more odd-looking and train-of-thought than the things they're based on. XD

I love your Shiori picture! That would be cool if we could make such a project.

Another wonderful and inspiring picture The use of darker and lighter blue tone shades looks really great, as well as the beautiful symbols. Simply gorgeous. I don't know that song yet, but you made me want to listen to it now.

Really gorgeous, I think that the mono0chromatic blue and all of those light flecks give this a very watery, tranquil appearance. Really gorgeous and great discipline with watercolor!

Gotta love those gel pens. ^__^

Did you put the pen on before the water color, or after?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mementomoryo In reply to WhoTookVaron [2005-04-21 14:55:43 +0000 UTC]

Gel pen dissolves in water, so I put it on after the paint is dry (or, in some cases, semi-dry). Gives it a nice glowy effect, don't you think.

And thanks so much!
