Mushishi

Saturday, June 13, 2009

If you haven't already seen Mushishi, I would highly recommend it. Even just a few episodes would do ~ it's a conglomeration of several short stories with one big theme. A few of them go into more detail about Ginko's (the main character's) past.

The rule I made for myself this time was that I had to start with white space and fill in black space (oddly enough, this is the opposite of what I usually do when I vector).

I realized later that it looked like he was praying -_- which was totally not what I was going for. He's actually lighting a cigarette (which, in the story is supposed to be a way to ward off Mushi).
I personally disapprove of smoking and avoid the smell whenever possible. Because I don't want to make smoking seem like a "cool" image, I also try to avoid using anything involving cigarettes whenever possible.

Who is behind TJN?

My name is Jay Lee, and I am currently an undergraduate student at a University of California studying Fine Arts and Digital Arts, though I'll be the first to tell you I've learned more from working than from the classroom. My preferred art mediums include: digital on adobe products, corel, web; fine on oil-on-canvas or charcoal; photography in black and white, with a focus on portraiture and music; and classical music on piano.

I work as a graphic and website designer with a primary interest in marketing and adverising. (Yes, the stuff you get spammed with - but I'll only claim credit for the prettier ones.)
