The Repression of Frustrations: Of How I Learned to Sing in Silence.
I made this piece merging various aspects of my life into the characters and the background. I don’t wish to talk about the issues publicly… but no, it isn’t just a pretty picture. =D
But, I can say a thing or two about the other elements/symbols. The girl’s name is Morgan, which I think is a nice in-between sounding-name of Morgana and Morrigan. The flying thing is the Mikumiku… (don’t ask where I got this name from- to those who know me better it isn’t a stranger). The small blue flowers are a version of Forget-me-nots (I eliminated the green leaves). The other floating islands are either alive or dying, the rest I leave open to interpretation…
The WIP is in the WIP 2D Forum if anyone wants to see the process or questions on how I made this. I used Photoshop CS and a Wacom Intuos 2 12"x12".
First time I ever submit anything here *nervous*
*Edit: I updated the piece. A friend suggested me to desaturate her a bit, so I did; I think the picture looks better now. I also added another floating island and played with the grass some more.
