Artist's Comments

watercolor.
it's pretty .. weird. like, the face is young and fresh and the body is like, naked old woman. or perhaps it's the lighting. but thanks to someone's comments, my brain started churning and the meaning of the word 'linger' for this piece just fit snuggly into place.. it's like.. lingering on beauty. .when it wastes away.. at first the title 'Don't Linger' came to mind.. but linger just.. felt seductive.. as if beauty is a trap.. enticing and seemingly delicious.. but in the end it's empty, a shell... whoa ^^

i took a minute before i read you discription and tried to figure out what was the reason behind the title "linger". i was looking at a pretty young girl's face , but her body looks senile , kinda gave me a chill and then i thought ... something like dont linger too long on something or you'll just waste everything else you coulda done.. i duno if thats what you ment but i guess thats my interpitation..

you know, sometimes words and thoughts pop into my head and i do not knowlingly associate them with the work but subconcsiously i chose that word for a reason, you know? and that description you gave really does seem to fit.. it's like.. lingering on beauty. .when it wastes away.. at first the title 'Don't Linger' came to mind.. but linger just.. felt seductive.. as if beauty is a trap.. enticing and seemingly delicious.. but in the end it's empty, a shell... whoa, this is turning deep and heavy, man. ^^

haha Well, you still had to draw it. I know I would have botched the job.

Wooooow 0.0 Looks like a very difficult pose to draw ^^' -Even if you saw it in a magazine xD- I like her hair and cothing, the jacket looks almost real O: The body kinda creeps me out, but the idea behind it sounds very interesting! ^^

You can't say something is bad when you haven't even tried it.
