Artist's Comments

An illustration art trade. Mugen, Jin and Fuu.

Inspired by the Beck song Strange Apparition:

Put me on the shoreline
When that heavy ship goes down
Did you think that you were lucky then?
You should see yourself now.

Done in Painter IX. Used a white mulberry paper as the basis for the surf and a sandstone texture for the beach and rendered foam and seaweed on top.

A glimpse from a scene in Wayward Wanderers by downjune on lj. Samurai Champloo fanfic.

Thanks a bunch for commenting both places!

LOL I may end up reworking the whole Y! image - but more practice never hurts.
:iconkenihiko:
that's true enough.

That is so very, very gorgeous. :love: The way the page is laid out, the colors, the gestures, the blindfolds on all three and how all three characters relate to each other--it's absolutely fantastic.

Thanks! I think it can be read as either sexy or platonic depending on your intensity meter. :p
:iconlookingback7:
Thanks so much!

I was angsting a bit about which way to rotate the canvas. I compted it to be this way but I found I couldn't render upsidedown for doody, so I truned it around. When I was finished, I couldn't decide which was better.

But if YOU say it's ok, then I'm heppy!
:iconbigbigtruck:
I love it!

And now I keep thinking of Samuraj Cities' song "All Along the Shoreline."

If you haven't heard it, it's gorgeous (and kind of fits these dark colors, too) - I'll post it at my LJ later.

Hey thanks!

I just looked that up on i!Tunes. I've heard it somewhere before but I didn't know who the group was, thanks for mentioning it. Yeah, I'd love to have that! :D
