Artist's Comments
The character above is my very own version of a Kodama, a little spirit living in trees & plants. They are best known for their appearance in "Princess Mononoke" by Hayao Miyazaki, and they are part of the traditional Japanese Shinto-Religion.
This guy here is crying because of all the environmental damage caused by mankind. Drawn in Phoshop CS3, no reference CommentsFlagged as Spam  Nice work!
-- Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another  Awesome !
 -- Looking for profoundness in the arbitrary. thank you!
-- "Let's have some new clichés." You are welcome
-- Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another  it's wonderful
 the way the kodama looks transparent is .... i can't find words for it xD (though the cause for that can be that my vocabulary isn't so perfect xD)but a thing I find a bit strange is that there grows a flower out of his head (if i think of the kodama's in princess mononoke, there their heads are rather 'bald' in the way that there isn't growing something on (yeah pretty obvious i know but i mean things like flowers or leaves or... xD)) BUT
he's cute O.O :3  ( so  xD) Yes, the ones in princess mononoke are bald, but mine isn't
 That's because no one has officially defined the look of a kodama. Hayao Miyazaki did a great job by creating his version, but I decided to go a different way. (Actually, traditional Japanese Kodamas are often portrayed as human-like... ^^)Thanks a lot for the question and the fav!!!  -- "Let's have some new clichés." glad you like it^^
-- "Let's have some new clichés."  I actually like it a lot <3
.You could easily add some more details like more "schweife" behind the flower or similar things. Sayonara, Ema |
