Artist's Comments

WOW! Did this for Illustration class? :O_o: ... Had to illustrate a opera or Broadway show. I got Madame Butterfly. I LOVE this piece, I just need to COMPLETELY redo it... just wanted to post it and get your opinions on if I should or if it would be a waste of my time...

The geisha is made up of acrylic paint, pencil, colored pencil, charcoal and marker, I believe. In background- sakura stick is CUT OUT of paper and really nice vellum was attached behind it so that one day I could paint a Japanese landscape and you would just ~barely~ be able to see it through the vellum.

HATE the attempted-metallic THING I put the plant in... should have been a Ming vase or something.... not sure what I was thinking there.

So what do you guys think? is this WORTH resurrecting?

Actual measurements: 20 in x 16in (50 1/2 cm x 40 1/2 cm)
by the way- you steal, I cut your head off... got me?

Beautiful!!! This is a fantastic illustration... it would have been perfect for Christine Morgan's RPG book that I worked on last year.

Well done!

I really wish the picture would do it justice. It's 20 inches x 16 inches. Her kimono is COVERED in subtle butterflies.

Well, let me ask you this. I really respect your stuff and you seem to be a VERY intellegent woman...

Should I try to do this again? My art style has changed DRASTICALLY since I did this and I ponder whether I can actually make it better or if I would just be digging a deeper hole!
What do you think I should do? Bury it or remake it?

the only thing i would change is that her hands ought to be lower down on the floor but its such a lovely piece it doesnt really need redoing!

All men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Salmon is a fish. They have no idea what mauve is.

Hey, this is great EXACTLY the way it is -- if it ain't broke, why fix it? Besides, art styles change and evolve according to what you're doing -- I know my art is not what it was when I was in school. You're doing great!
