Operation Yuurei pt.2

“....The city was a juxtaposition of nightmares and dreams; a place where the line between reality and imagination was so blurred, you drifted throughout the pocket of space as nothing more than a mere whisper, a ghost of both the past and future in the present.”

Samui

It was coldness,

a sadness, of sorts,

a bittersweet melancholy

that reverberated throughout the air––

a voice of serene silence

that paused life itself momentarily

a beauty once witnessed,

never to be forgotten

Longing

“...The desert wind rustled, kicking up a small splattering of sand dust into his eyes and nose. He tried to take in the scenery of his home, a snapshot of this moment in time––a glittering sea of red sand dunes lapping against the edges of the weather-worn paint coating the columns of the pagoda, the fortress of the Namuu mountains looming in the distance––all stained a golden coral glow from rays of the rising sun. This, this was home.”

Bang

“...I live in an enigma wrapped in a blanket of stars yet forever existing in the endless void.”

Operation Yuurei pt.1

“...absurdity is just another aspect of the human condition, right?”

Summer Chills

a sigh,

a breath,

an exhale––

peaceful silence

a serene beauty of existence

Kinou

I fear these cherished memories of fleeting moments–– the me of the now–– will slowly fade away piece by piece until it is as if it was nothing more than a cherished dream, a wild fantasy

And in that instance nothing on Moirai–– no dunes, no sounds, no experiences felt real–– but merely a mirage–– did he even exist?

Flicker

Every single one of us

we are all

broken

but

isn’t that how/the light reaches within?

In this digital painting of my character Asuraa, I wanted to create a strong silhouette in front of flickering lights and fog, with a rainy atmosphere and diluted colors. I wanted showcase her standing on the edge of an old battle field, littered with weapons; with her standing triumphant amidst the weak fallen. Her character is misguided and is for the most part, an antagonist. However, I wanted to still show that people are not just ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but instead live in a gray area of in between. People might not be whom you expect them to be upon first glance.

“...so get up! What are you waiting for?”

...

えっとう..... ‘ettou’, which just translates to 'umm'

City of Broken Stone

“...and it feels and if i have sought out this realm, somewhere, sometime, in an alien world not my own;”

Untitled 0010

“...now the question is this: is to have lost, better than having nothing at all?”

Komorebi

Komorebi––‘sunlight filtering through trees.’ I loved the mental imagery this word conveyed in my head, and I wanted to transcribe those flashes of glowing rays into a digital painting.

Kaleidoscope

When creating this digital painting, one goal I had in mind was to try new techniques––such as the glowing portal rim––and also trying to make the shading as realistic as possible. After studying various reference photos of how lighting reflects and interacts with human skin and their surroundings, I came up with this piece of Suigetsu. I also wanted to keep the color scheme bright and vibrant, leaning towards more of a playful atmosphere.

Untitled 0009

...when you have stopped looking for the good in the world, that is when you have truly died.

End of the Edge

Transfixed on a light The memories escaping Falling through my grasp…
