I Sing the Body Electric

About my design

by I Sing the Body Electric
Ok, I started to do another Crane Wife design, but took the crane out of it and really liked the way this one felt without it. Anyway, let me know what you think.

Very good illustration, very Kabuki-esque. But, if it's for the Decemberists contest...2

I feel like it needs something in the background it feels too sparse with out the sun, but if anyone has a better idea, hit me up with it

I don't think without the sun it loks disperse at all, actually I think it would make the mountain and woman stick out more strongly.

I agree with the other people. This would get a 5$... but I don't think it belongs in the Dec.'s category. But I'm so torn, because I absolutely love this sub!!!

I agree it doesn't fit in this catagory but I had originally made it for this contest and in the first versionof it, there was a strong tie to the myth of the crane wife, but this version doesn't show a lot of those remains. I still felt tho since it was spawned from the contest info I would submit it as such.

I like the design but the woman...she has a fairly young face but she looks crippled. I'll buy it on Dakota Slate - $5 from me :)

I think people need to keep in mind that the theme song for the decemberists is based on a Japanese story... so it does fit the theme in a more abstract way.

The woman is very nicely done, but the Sun and mt. Fuji seem to be from a different image, as they're a completely different style. I don't like the 80's malibu sun or it's colour. Also the dark blue doesn't somehow fit the rest of the colours, maybe a bit more "broken" shade? But as I said, the woman is really very good.

I will look into changing the sun if it doesn't win, but actually all of the images I used as reference were from actual 1920's japanese folk art, advertisements, etc. Keep the comments coming.

The orange background really clashes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the contest theme The Island? And while it is on the Crane Wife album, has no relation to the story of the crane wife. A recreation of The Tempest would have been more appropriate to the theme.
