Finally, a watercolor piece! I like the way the colors turned out, but I kind of regret adding inks and gels to it.
This is based loosley off of the part of "Genji Monogatari" (The Tale of Genji), where Genji's spurned lover Lady Rokujo becomes so jealous and enraged of Genji's proper wife, Aoi, that her anger manifests itself as a malevolent spirit. That spirit then proceeds to possess the pregnant Aoi, and after priests expell Rokujo from her body, Aoi dies in childbirth. The brightly-colored face at the bottom of the painting is the adult Yuugiri, Aoi's son.
I have a few more Rokujo/Aoi-inspired paintings still in the works, so keep watching!
Oh my god, this is just beautiful. I missed seeing your works, honestly.
What awesome control over the colors you have! There's so much detail in here; the patterns on her robe, the subtle splotches of color between Aoi and her son; all the little gel pen patterns; the very, very subtle patterns at the bottom of the piece...
Honestly, the amount of detail alone is astounding, much less the quality of the art itself.
It boggles my mind to imagine how much time you must have poured into this, and really makes me wish I had ideas grand enough to turn into epic pieces like this.
Unfortunately, the most I can do is just dink around a bit and draw small pieces.
Anyways, fantastic work. And it's wonderful to see you back!

This is absolutely amazing Genji art. You can feel the emotions running through all the colors. I can't wait to see more in your Genji series.
