Artist's Comments

Red for passion, be it love or hate.
At the very least, I will never be empty.

And in this world, that is saying something.


WOW I am so intensely excited to post this. It is the COVER for Toilet Genie chapter 1. Obviously I've not put any of the cover data on there yet. For a better idea of how that will end up, please see the cover rough on my website. This piece is everything that Skittlez is, somehow, and I am very happy about that.

I think I leveled up as an artist while composing this. X_X It is the best thing I have painted in my life. I only hope that in the coming months, I will top it with something better. ^^ That is always the question in my mind ... what if this is my best and I've reached it? Now what? This still isn't good enough. But thus far it seems to me every 6 months, I produce something that pushes my limits.

So check back in another 6 months I guess. XD hope you like it as much as I like it. O_O

Mmmmm the composition is gorgeous, my dear~ And the colors surprised me! I didn't expect to see all the reds from the rest of the comic in the sketch, but great choice.

Can't wait to see more. *u*

I know ... I debated it some, I'd think of Skittlez' color as being blue, and yet blue and red have such a powerful relationship, I guess in the end, they can't exist without the other. If that makes sense. To me, I guess the three primary colors especially come with really intense emotions. XD

Red ~ passion so rich, it can bring about incredible good or incredible evil.
Blue ~ harmony, virtue, strength, balance, simplicity, Good.
Gold ~ candle light, the unnatural world, wisdom, learning, study, books, dieing towards winter, ending, a color that drives those it dominates towards goals they shouldn't reach for.

Very cool. I think the Cinder blocks add a nice touch.

Oh, this is gorgeous! Watercolors scare me, so I have incredible respect for anyone who works with them :)

Love how intense the red is and just how much energy there is here.

Oh my goodness this is ... unbelievably awesome!

Like what some of the others have been saying, red was a really interesting choice, but due to the -undercurrents- of TG.. I think I can appreciate that a bit more. :) I know you have a ton more in the waiting, and can't wait for that.

YOU ARE AWESOME. <3
