Digital Geishaby ~imaginarium

Traditional Art / Mixed Media

Been playing with markers! In particular, those Tri-Art markers they've been selling for 4 bucks at Popular bookstore that look like Copic copycats. They're not too bad but the colours are rather dull, but they're good for practising and playing about with until I'm brave enough to invest money in good markers.

So anyway here's an idea I was playing with, Digital Geisha. Not much of a mech artist, so this is the nearest so far. My whole idea was to get her to look rather human, but like the real Geisha, the base of whose neck is left uncovered by the white paint so that her skins shows through, so in this case the Digital Geisha's true "skin" is revealed in that same area. Deep huh. X) I did play around with the colours on Photoshop, originally they were a whole lot brighter and a little too gaudy...but any feedback about colouring technique is appreciated, I've got a long way to go to get the hang of this marker thing...:n00b:

Done in a mixture of Copic, Tri-Art and Prisma markers, black pen, and white out.

is it a robot or something ? I noticed something on the back of the neck. Anyway, awesome work. Specially the use of the colors.

That's got to be one of the coolest ideas ever.

I love her neck.

I also love her profile. For me, profiles are so very hard to do, and you've really managed to capture beauty here in yours.
