Artist's Comments


All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
Lost in my own world
Now I care for dead gardens.


My entry for the Weekly Fanart Challenge. In case you didn't know, I'm hosting a weekly fanart challenge. Check out the journal for the specifics, but basically each week a new fanart prompt is chosen for fanart to be drawn of.

This week, the prompt was Revolutionary Girl Utena, which is probably my favourite anime series ever (or tied with Sailor Moon. Hm.) I decided to re draw an old piece because I loved the concept but the picture itself was old and icky. So I drew a better one.

Inspired by the song Dead Gardens by Nightwish (WHO I JUST SAW IN CONCERT AND WERE FUCKING AMAAAAZING.) The lyrics always reminded me of a dark, morbid Utena setting, so there you are.

There are some things about the piece that bother me, but I worked hard on it, so I'm happy with it.

Enjoy!

OHMIGOSH You saw Nightwish in concert? There's one here in september, but it's 16 and over, and I'm turning 16 in april of that year. Ugh. I just quoted Poet and the Pendulum in my english analytical essay of a poem though xDDD Anywa, I'm floored by this pic, I gotta say. Her expression fits the words really well. Nice color too. It looks kinda like she's behind a veil of some sort. Well done!

I love the beautiful black down that she's wearing. You drew her pink hair really beautifully like that. She's such a wonderful character. :aww:
