Woman and Bamboo

FULL VIEW!!

i have one thing to say before i go on.....:

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny

-"Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot
kept thinking of this song when i was looking at the picture


THIS IS STYLIZED!!! therefore i can make her ass as big as i want. so NO comments on how too big her ass is or how too skinny she is. if fact, please don't critique. i'm not changing a damn thing

moving on. finally after 2 terms in a row of sitting class of first, Japanese Buddhist Art History and then, the History of Japanese Art with probably my favorite professor at my university, i do art inspired by Japanese art.

seriously, since i took the class i've been itching to some old ink style painting. i just never quite had that inspiration until a couple days ago when i started this picture. mind you the woman looks nothing like old japanese art, but it's the thought that counts! my style for old japanese art

what calligraphy says....it says nothing, cus it's all made up. couldn't do calligraphy to save my life. trust me. i tried. so just a bunch of scribbles to look somewhat like japanese calligraphy.

my first finished picture in which i started out with Flash, then did the base colors (which aren't what you see here) in openCanvas, and finally everthing else in Photoshop.

time: about 6 hours

art (c) miaki (me!)


this picture was done in June of 2007, FYI
