Artist's Comments

About painting and title:
Lots to write about this one. @_@ I did this painting for an art book of girls with guns ... dunno if I got in yet or not, but I'll journal it if I did. ^^ *crosses fingers* The design of it was inspired by those dancing Shiva paintings and sculptures [Nataraja]. Sorry to anyone who knows better on this subject than me, I can't speak Indian and I know so little about Hindu its sad. o_o; She isn't Shiva of course .... she isn't in the typical Shiva pose.

EDIT: I widened her shoulders a bit but beyond that I probably won't make any anatomy edits. ^^; Sorries.

haha! lol, I'm terrified of painting on walls. Paper doesn't bother me, I can just rip it up and walk away wistling. 9__9 I'd offer to send you a print, I just had one done, but the quality of paper da prints on really is worth it..... I've gone to all kinds of places looking for good, professional paper and all the paper I get screams amatuer to me... its the texture I think. T_T meh. I'll prolly order a print off DA of it myself.

khh..... watercolor scares the life out of me. Before I paint, sometimes I consider not painting. I love it so much, but I feel like its a war each time to pick the right shade and mix it right ... and then this or that color is too opaque and I frantically wipe it off. -___-

painting is a heart attack waiting to happen.

it looks good, dont get me wrong.. just anatomically speaking those things bother me and in a way of correctness its good to reflect on it. Stylization is a different thing all together. :)

I have that same love/hate relationship with watercolour. I prefer it over every other medium, but it sure can be a bitch sometimes... Ah well, your stuff is consistently amazing, heart-attacks aside. :D

damn blixie. that's niiiice. i don't think the arm thing's so noticeable, it seemed to me her arm was pointed a little behind her so it was foreshortened or something that'd make better sense if i knew what i was talking about. lovely twirly looking pose, like 'wheee i am armed!' hee.
