The Minstrel

Medium: Gouache on Wasli
Time: 1 month (1 month on this?! What on earth was I doing?!)

I've kind of realized I hate making commissions. I never know what to make, and I hate making something knowing it'll be gone even before its complete. -.-' To make things worse... the person commissioning me wanted to make paintings on the 'beauty of the creation of God'. Does this qualify?

*feels like making airships instead*

It looks like a greetings card or something...

And I can see soooo many faults. (First one to point out the biggest glaring fault gets a... er... sketch! [nothing else I can offer! ]) I regret putting the orange on her cape. Somehow... I wanted her to be skinny and boney but she really doesn't seem like that.

Since I was thinking of making a series which do you think I should continue with?

- The story of King Yazitra XII and the water goddess (well it was originally going to go with that - the city at the back is Toile, Yazitra's city)

- Tree of life (all silly pretty fairies and bards)

- The moon! (and all sorts of craziness! Yip... I love starry skies and moons )


[Random complaint: I think my miniatures may qualify as... 'pretty' but I find them lacking the er... life other paintings may have? Em... don't they look so... plastic? ]
