Artist's Comments

Yeah! I managed to color this pic! It wasn't easy at all, becuase I started with Ecoline, but for some motive the color made a mess on the paper! I manage to save it before I totally ruin it, and corrected the messed up color with Pantone. Pew! ^^;

Tachi design © me

Inspired by an Adam Huges' Elektra pic

Gah, the colors are beautiful, Rita! Tachi looks great, but I especially love the clouds in the background. :D

the contrast! the contrast! Elektra is supposed to be using red on black , but since tachi is red (cherry or fire engine red? ) using blue on yellow (or gold) , the opposite in the color wheel shocks the observer and makes it appreciate more Tachi. The pose gives the idea of flying (ahem is a gargoyle, you know) and yet you can expect a roundhouse kick in any second , the sais are depicted as in the movie or real life and are in a confortable position to be ready to strike or block any attack. Hmmm... can the author be convinced to make a Daredevil Brooklyn, yes? This gotta fav!!!

Well, actually I called this pic Electra only because I took inspiration from a pic of Elektra made by Adam Huges, not because she really had to play the role of Elektra ^^;

Ok, now I don´t know what to say. It´s cool to use your inspiration in that way. Your picture made me compare the movie elektra to a gargoyle elektra, and yes, It doesn´t HAVE to be THE Elektra, but somehow, it´s more appealing to me to think of japanese gargoyle wielding sais that a greek heiress bent on revenge in a comic book (If i´m correct), hmmm.... you made me think out of the box! give the artist a cookie! (Uhhh... can you be persuaded to make a gargoyle daredevil or such? )

Not at the moment, but I'll consider the idea :)

Great! The shadings are very interesting!
It will always be a mystery to me, how people can make such great colorings with Markers^^
