Artist's Comments

:bleh:

I bought a very, *very* cheap box of watercolours sometime last year when *WraithTen specified that she wanted her 20K kiriban painted with them. Alas, that first attempt went miserably wrong (pink + grey = green. Only in my hands, apparently), and both kiriban and paintbox got junked aside until the end of the year when I wound up doing it with watercolour pastels. This is my second, final attempt at trying something with said box of paints before I throw them into the bin and write them off as a bad job.

The reference photo for this was taken while I was away on vacation in February, and shows Penang shophouses in an advanced state of decay. I like buildings. Especially derelicts that have been partially reclaimed by nature. I don't know why.


Cheapass paints ($2.70) on even cheaper sketch paper. :laughing: Adios, paints.

Oh, I knew I recognized the architecture!! One of my winning-the-lottery pipedreams involves buying old colonial buildings in Georgetown and running a B&B while writing the best novels evar ... well, I did say it was a pipedream...
I love this! It completely took me back there even before I *knew* that I knew what I was looking at!

"A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes: 'Up close and personal' and 'Hello, you're dead.' How many does yours have?"

"Three. Your two plus 'Wow, look at all the single cells making up your skin!'"

"That is not fair.

Well obviously it doesn't matter how much you spend on materials, if you're as talented as you - the result is always a masterpiece. :drool:
