Aya's Depression

Oh! I forgot to post my old piece, "Aya's Depression". I used acrylics, coloured pencils and lead pencil on wood. I must admit that I did this during my past depression last year. Sorry guys, it's not for sale. I was inspired by Francisco Goya's Black Paintings. Indeed, he was quite enigmatic and unusual, aye? Nope nope, I'm not interested in death and macabre but I just like Goya's black style. Hmm, I love this depressed lil' character girl, I should cheer her up, hehehe!

Sneak peek:
My recent work in progress, "Future Human" for front and back music album cover. I can't wait to make another back inlay!!! I'll need to finish this before making new paintings for my two clients! I know, I'm so busy... See you in April! Kudos!

I like Goya as well, the girl expression is quite interesting.

We heard this guy in the anime file that we are translating saying that Animation is life. Your piece "Aya's depression" is definitely a good example of that. The dark colours... her sad look in her face. It is a powerful painting that surely anyone that has been through depression can relate to. She is so sad that we just want to hug her. ♥ Thank you for sharing such a personal artwork!

omg!! :O the album cover is looking so g-r-e-a-t! Love everything about the composition. Textures, colours and tiny details around the octopus (the glowing man, eheh). Oh, and good luck with the commissions for your other two clients. :D

much love to you! MWAH!!

I like Aya's expression. Her hands are so cute. I feel like to hug her, give her comforts. I love how strong the black colors are.

I like all the little2 details for the music cover. Hmm.. i wonder how you did that swirly lines perfectly?I know what you will say," practice makes it perfect" .. hehe

Your painting of Aya is exactly the piece I was looking for to go with my post today. I would like to use it, giving you credit, and placing a link to your blog. Since it is sometimes easier to ask forgiveness than permission, please go to my blog, and if you object, please let me know and I will remove it. Thank you, in advance!! I love your work!!
