This is what I have been working on for the past couple of weeks, while NOT getting much fanart CG work done... sigh. I did this for my 3D Design class, which I had to take as a junior because... well, it's required for my major. And the Powers That Be decided I needed the (*cough*torture*cough*) experience.

But happily, I had my choice of medium for the final project, for which the only guideline was 'narrative'. Somebody explain to me how that's any different from illustration, even though the mere mention of the word illustration elicits immediate disdain from all the art staff at my school. Meh.

This is my interpretation of a scene in the Japanese tale of Kaguyahime. If you don't know the tale, here's an entry about it on Wikipedia: [link]

The hiragana in the upper right corner spells Kaguyahime (because I was lazy and didn't look up the kanji for her name, and besides, I was proud of myself that I could spell it in hiragana).

Ohh, I like it all works very well together. :heart: Her hands are lovely, and I have a soft spot for kimono. Eeee.

Evil me, oh yeah I know.

Learn as if you would live forever. Live as if you would die tomorrow.
This is absolutely beautiful. I am particularly impressed by how you really managed to capture the feeling of moonlight and the shadows it creates. Excellent job, as usual. ^_^

And on a different note, I am still thinking about the kiriban...I just keep getting sidetracked! ^^;

English doesn't borrow from other languages, it follows them down dark alleyways, knocks them over, then rummages through their pockets for loose grammar.
GAAAH, moonlight is the hardest thing EVAR. Which means... I wanna do more pics with it! Once I have a bit of a break from this one, that is. Must try to maintain my own sanity...

...and just let me know about the kiriban pic whenever you figure it out. I'm not in a particular rush - I just don't want to forget about it. Because that would be mean to you ;) The next few weeks will be a really good time to do it, though, if you can get me the info that soon, because I'll be on my Xmas break from school :)
Thank you so much, and thanks for the fave too!!
I'm glad you like the hands - I was a little unsure of them, myself. At one point they were much too realistic and detailed, and it looked really strange with the face, so I had to tone them down. I wasn't sure if they looked alright, but I guess it worked out. And I love kimono too ;)
This looks lovely! Yay hiragana! *I wanna learn it myself XD*
Ooh yeah her hands are great, and so is the kimono and the moon and gah, I like the entire design! *pushes fave button*

I'll try to get it to you soon, then. Coordinating with breaks is always a good thing.

Aw, thanks for the fave! Hiragana isn't hard to learn... there are only about ...umm... 46 of them, I think, compared to thousands of kanji...
I know... I have already started... buuuut.... I forgot it again XD And yer welcome :)
