Kurai - From Start to Finish

i finished this on Tuesday a little before midnight..... then on Wednesday I took all 6 paintings to my final critique... so with this piece this series is 'technically' done.... i'll still probably paint a few more like this but on my own time. It feels odd thinking that i love painting as much as i do.... three years ago when i started college i had never really painted before.... it was really hard and i really sucked.... but as i tried different medium i found one i love  and now i just want to keep on painting....

anyways i think because i was rushed i had a hard time with figuring out how to post him.... so i went more simple....
once again i was in a rush so i forgot to photograph while it was just black lines..... oh well.... so this is once again 14x20 on hot pressed paper and yeah.... his name is Kurai for now.... i named him ten years ago so i'll probably change it since none of my other characters have 'japanese' names....
"but what about Raichana?" yeah it's a made up name... try searching it on baby names sites or name meaning sites.... you'll get no results.
anyways i don't know if i'll actually change his name.... but i really want to.
so this is the 'final' result..... or at least what i presented to class.... i think i will go in now that it's all over and add other colours into all of them.... i would have done it earlier but i didn't finish till very late and editign them all would have kept me up all night.... probably...

but yeah i really had a good time with this series, loved every moment on it and like i said before i'm lookign forward to painting even more.

now how am i going to fit all of these in the grad show.... hmmmmmm (i have a 4 x 8 panel and these with the black border are 28 inches wide and 30 inches tall...this should be interesting)

So it can be purchased as either a print or an iphone case at Red Bubble
