Artist's Comments
**EDIT: Full title: "Cross Cultural Purity References"
Refers to the Geisha, pale skin, and blue eyes in contrast to the red & the gun. Second piece of AP art concentration: vengeful Geisha of the 1800s in early Meiji Restoration Japan. I loved doing this. I had the stock pose out no more than 15 minutes while doing the entire picture.  ...Anywho...Oh, & the guns are flintlock pistols. Done with Micron ink pens, primarily Prismacolor markers, and some prismacolor pencil retouches. Colored retouched after scan in photoshop & black border added there too. Yep. Picture is mine. Stock Art: [link] , ~ladydove7-stock Title by ~ladydove7-stock PS Ideas for a title would be great. I keep wanting to call it Geisha Gunner, but that's the stock series' title. Comments Nicely done
-- THE DOCTOR SAYS: Excuse me, but would you mind not farting whilst I'm trying to save the earth?  Wow!
Gorgeous work! (That's about as advanced a critique as I'm able to muster...) -- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Clarke's Third Law  Woaaaaah...now this completely threw me for a loop. What an awesome twist on the gunner theme! I really love the detail in the kimono and they way you set up the perspective. It's almost as if we're trying to run away with the barrel of the gun breathing down our backs.
The white and gold guns with the eyes on them are a particularly cool detail as well. Hmmm as for a tittle, how about Pearl Assassin, Blue-Eyed Revenge, Geisha no Shi, Gun of the Chrysanthemum (at least I think that's what the flower in her hair is). Nice work! I'd totally love to see this as a print. -- LD7's Links Main Account - Writings - Artisan Crafts - Blog  impressive work on this
 very well done.-- "I can't stand pain. It hurts me" -Daffy Duck  well done ! your work is awesome ^^ "bravo"
 D@MN! This is awsome!!! Love the details on the Obi and pistols!
Hmmm, titletitletitle... how bout' ... sorry I got nuttin'. -- "You know? There's a song for that!" ~Me  Your details are killer, and I love seeing a Geisha not in a peaceful looking state of mind like usual.
-- My drawings, photography, and manips can be found on =takuminanashi  this is amazing, the perspective is what really makes it i think, love her expression and the detail in the guns and her gown - the colouring is so lush, love the warm reds and yellows, they contrast really nicely with the pallour of her face and the cold in her eyes, stunning job
