Description So I set myself a challenge, to see if I could, *gestures*, all with the ridiculous amount of detail. I shan't show you the image that I liked to much that I issued myself the challenge, because I didn't get all that close, and drove myself half mad in the bargain.

If you love me at all, please do fullview it. I'll love you for it. I'll send you cookies.

Really? I could do worse, I guess, than to have drawn a dude that reminds someone of Johnny Depp. Thank you!

Wow - thank you!!! That is an extremely nice collection of art that my picture is rubbing shoulders with; I'm humbled and flattered all to blushing!

My god, the expression in this one, the emotion....i know this feeling, this longing... it hits home. hard.
this, is spectacular; and i know that word falls so, SO short of how wonderful this one really is. but my vocabulary has abandoned me at the moment.

btw how've you been?

I worked on this for, literally, weeks; and the emotion is pretty much why. The high level of detail was totally wasted if the emotions didn't come through, so I hair-pulled and stayed up until 2am and stared at it until my eyes ached, and anyway that's just a long-winded way of saying thank you thank you THANK YOU for noticing, thank you for knowing what this moment is like.

I have been .. been.. just a human sort of mushroom, I think! Here, but not doing much, yeesh, I need to get my act together. How are you? Feel free to send me a note if it's easier.

It's amazing, and it comes through in volumes. It's phenomenal, you're phenomenal! and i hope you don't mind, but i printed out a copy (sadly it's all fuzzy do to crap printer) and i'm planning on framing it- do you have a tag or a signature you want me to stick on it? just in case some one asks?

razimo In reply to katymoon05 [2009-11-17 01:41:14 +0000 UTC]

I don't mind at all; really I am flattered that you'd want it where you could see it even when you weren't on the computer! It's probably fuzzy, honestly, because the file I uploaded to dA wasn't all that big; it would be fizzy if printed out bigger than postcard size or so. If you'd like a higher-res version, just drop me a note, okay? It's no trouble at all. My signature, believe it or not, is on there; it's just very light, a mess to begin with, and kinda vanishes into the black when shrinky-dinked. ^.^;

there is a very classical elegance, i think, to your lines and rendition particularly of the woman. the colors make for some fantastic juxtaposition of emotion and feeling too. i like!

razimo In reply to Banana-Neptune [2009-11-13 00:43:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! If you don't mind, I'll take 'classical elegance' as a very high compliment indeed. I wanted elegance, elegance in all the drawing and beauty in the colors, with just enough dischord .. not too much, just a bit.. just enough to make the scene seem a bit strange, like an odd dream.

Compliments to things that I angsted over are always rewarded with love. Love, love. I fretted, I fussed, I worried it was too dark, too red, too this, too that... maybe I did get it right in the end! THANK YOU. Thank you!

Nessanar In reply to ??? [2009-11-12 02:16:18 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely beautiful color choices! The orange just pops- she looks other-wordly. The rendering on both people are amazing, and the textures are pretty durn neat too.

Thank you thank you!! There are, omg, like.. six different layers in there just to provide texture. D-8 I kept telling myself that it was too much and I was going nuts, but dangit, I liked it.. I'm glad it pays off!!

You captured the moment. It was a freaking hard moment and putting it into art was a monumental challenge!

It's them. It's that moment. He is grubby and grimy and wondering if he's wandered into a dream and if Ro could see this.... *G* She'd ask what drugs he was on and why he didn't share!

Tough one, I know, but it's gorgeous and you did it! <3<3

relation now means nothing
having chosen: so defined

I honestly couldn't find a piece of the song that I scribbled on it that wouldn't give the wrong impression! So, it got a title from a different Neko Case song. I guess that isn't really relevant, except you know how I am with my song lyrics.

I just saw it. You wrote it, and I saw it, and it would Not leave me alone. I tried, more than once, to stomp off from it; nothing doing, I had to try to get it down on paper.. erm, in pixels.. the way I saw it in my head. I wonder if he ever asked her, later, if that was a dream he had? Perhaps he thought he'd just dreamed, the sort of dream that comes true later.

Ain't it the truth? I just kinda snort whenever I read about someone who says that they paint because it makes them feel at peace. HAH. I wish. I am a junkie. The high I get when a piece goes well is why I scrabble through the madness of creating it.

This is fantastic, truly. The emotion is so thick, you can almost feel it, and the colours contrast so beautifully! Excellent work.

razimo In reply to Celestiania [2009-11-12 04:28:48 +0000 UTC]

I could just about sob and hug you, for saying that the emotion comes through!! I was afraid that people would just say 'wtf this nonsense??' and not even notice. Thank you SO much!

Celestiania In reply to razimo [2009-11-12 04:33:11 +0000 UTC]

It really shines through to me, honestly! And no worries dear, it's a fantastic piece. It really makes me think of my husband's character and my own. I wish I had the talent to portray something like this though using them!
