Eros and Psyche

Every store fronts, decoration on the street, even the TV commericals are flooded with pink and red Valentine Day commericals and merchandises ... can't help not to join in the fun and post some related theme.

Pink is one of my favorite colors ... but have to say, so many stuffs is cover to pink and red these days ... I feel like we need other sort of color to balance out.

Plus Valentine Day is sort of like watching a Avant-garde film. It's not exactly for everybody. It's like you either love it or you hate it, while others feel indifferent about it. Sooo ... here is my take on this curious holidays, some embrase it, while some doesn't like it so much. And yea ... still having fun with Anime style. HA! HA !!

Left set are Photoshop touched up and right are the original.

I feel like too we need other sort of color to balance in the SanValentin day's. I love your sketches, and your paint Alina. Thank you to paint so much light. Visit www.vivechacabuco.com I made animation of that day.

Beautiful interpretation of Eros and Psique!!
YEs oh yes, you're right! variety of colours... oh! the lonely one with the black pull! weep!

I'm glad to hear you refer to Valentines Day as a "curious holiday". I guess that describes how I feel about it. I love my husband, but why have someone dictate to me how and when I should show that love. So we joke about Valentines Day. He says, "Be mine" and I say, "Be yourself!" He knows not to buy me the cliche` heart jewelery, that's everyone else's symbol of love. Does it have to be mine? He also doesn't get in trouble for forgeting the day. It's what he does every other day that matters most. And as for the over use of pink, don't even get me going on that.

Beautiful as always! Love the wings. I can't agree more about Valentines, very curious. I grew up disliking it because it was the day before my birthday and I would always get hard cards for both.

nice work as always
good to see all the experiments

It's funny how many people- go along for the ride- without any research into the subject...be it religion, politics or Valentine's Day:)

guess which boat I'm in?

I really like the colors on the green-haired anime woman

Ashley said...

your watercolors are lovely!
nice to see them at the Myths show.

Burt said...

Haha, they do go a little overboard with the reds and pinks this time of year, don't they? Very nice watercolor sketch!

Your anime drawings reminds me of how I loved to draw anime-style girls when I was a teenager! It's wonderful that you're trying out new styles and I like your idea about not using pink or red for Valentine's Day.
