That is so lovely and different from any GO art I've seen before. I love watercolors.

:) I always seem to end up doing something different from the norm. I love watercolours, too. Thanks for commenting.

I love the overall style of this. The way the ground and clouds look, and his silhouette... it's very lovely, and very original.

Thank you! Glad you like it.

Upon seeing this, the first words from my mouth were "Holy shit". Your use of watercolour and ink is masterful. You probably don't know it, but I love watercolours. :)

I adore this, Secret Artist, absolutely.

:DDD Yay! I'm so glad. I'm very sorry I copped out on doing something especially detailed or a close-up of his face but this extract from the book was very magical to me and I wanted to show Adam's power, really. I love doing gen works, so this was especially good for me. :)

Thank you!

Mine too. I like the way it just suddenly turns into a poem, in the book. It really makes it stand out and it called to be illustrated! :D

Thank you for letting me participate!

AHHHH TRADITIONAL MEDIA OH HOW MY HEART BEATETHS FOR YOU!

Major, major kudos. :DD

Nothing better than traditional media. I suck at computer colouring and such.
Thanks!

You're the only one I know that can make great ink-water-colour-painting look both easy and like you just carelessly decided one day to make a poem in art form. It's highly unfair to the rest of us. :P Great job.

Wow, now that's a compliment! I love poetry itself, so if I can make that come through my art, then that's brilliant. And that other people can see it!
But you do such great art yourself. :) It'd be great to see what you could do with w/c. :D
Thank you!

Wow, I really like this. The complex simplicity is very pleasing to look at, and I really enjoy the composition.

[identity profile] secret-kracken.livejournal.com 2005-12-08 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
How I love your oxymoron: complex simplicity. Thank you very much. :)

[identity profile] briebribeez.livejournal.com 2005-12-09 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's technically what it is. The picture itself is an oxymoron, but it's gorgeous nonetheless. It's complexity and simplicity wrapped up, and I really love it.
