Hey everyone! How are yall doing today! :D I made some new art of a sea with light reflecting in it! Pretty cool, right...? Waaiiit- I see a girl... WAIT, I KNOW HER! W-what was her name again...? Ko... Koi..sh..i? YEAH, KOISHI KOMEIJI, THE CLOSED EYES OF LOVE!! HERE IT ISSS!! Ooop, fly- *chases it away* I hope yall like this piece of the sea! ^^ (All jokes aside, this is fanart of Koishi, all of the above is a joke within the community that has to do with her lore. ⚠️ANYTHING BETWEEN THESE WARNING EMOJIS ARE SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!!!!⚠️ ⚠️Koishi has a third eye, which she could read people's thoughts with. But people were scared of her and her sister for that reason. She wanted to make friends but everyone avoided her. Eventually, in her loneliness and desperation, she sealed and closed her third eye permanently just to avoid reading people's minds. But with it, she accidentally sealed away her own conscious mind, now only using her subconscious mind for things. This also gave her the ability of being forgotten, and hence, unless you keep your eyes on her at all times, she disappears and you don't remember her. That's the context of the joke, which also leads to the context of the art. The reason she is drowning in the sea is because I used the water as a metaphor for drowning in her subconscious,and the white bubbles around her show that she just recently fell in and this is just the foam from the force of some shove.)⚠️ I hope you all enjoy this art, I spent a long time trying to figure out how her hair would behave underwater, haha! I also got incredibly stumped at trying to figure out how the eye's cords went around her body.But it was actually really fun, I got to play around with a lot of Ibis Paint's filters, especially for the foam (I used that one that turns solid lines into particles from the blurring section-)! I have been experimenting with drawing a lot of new things lately, so I hope this is nice!
Sooo, time for quick credits! ^^ Art: Me @AnythingFromAce Base: Typically by now, unknown, but inside the project! Character: ?? (Koishi Komeiji from Touhou 11, hehe! ^^) Song: Hartmann's youkai girl (2 different arrangements, the first one is a slowed music box arrangement by on youtube and the other being the original by ZUN from Subterranean Animism but slowed. I think the first one suits the atmosphere of the art best, but you let me know! ^^) Zoom-in code: Let me know if I forgot anything and remember to let me know your opinions on this artwork! :D Enjoy and have an amazing day! <3
