Artist's Comments

Imari, for ~Batmaggs. Not much to say right now, except this is a character portrait of a woman under a sort of dark magical compulsion. Imari is one of my favourite characters. She seems controlled but troubled. She seems to be a mixture of very intense things hidden under a very refined exterior. She seems light, but I think she is rather dark inside. I'm trying to get through all the character pieces I am owing people ;) without descending into utter portrait shots, things like that.

I guess this one is more of a story than a portrait anyway. I have put a little less symbolism in than intended, but it is still there.

If you are interested, I have uploaded some concept/in-progress/closeup shots to my scraps gallery, so you can see all the messy lines and workings behind this etc ;)

Lovely colours. Her dress is beautiful. :)

So beautiful! The dress is gorgeous.
:iconsanguinarii:
:jawdrop: She is absolutely incredible! The detail in the close-up shots is incredible and she looks very realistic. I love the fabric of the furniture and the dress... :faint: that's a gordgeous dress! It's no wonder you're one of my favorite artists. :hug:

I love it. *s* Thank you so much. What else can I say? You've captured that ~look~ of hers beautifully, too. And the setting is perfect, I think. Wow, it brings back memories. I miss playing her.
(I'll go happy to my 12 hour shift tonight. *S* And I'll probably have to come back and look at her some more when I get home.)

Hmm.. I always hated Imari for the difficulty I had against her, but I do like her consistancy and her inherent sorrow. This is a beautiful rendition of her. There are several peoples squirming in my head with anger at seeing that cold, dismissive look again.
