Artist's Comments

"God is a beautiful little girl who changes her mind."


The sentence I was to illustrate, as ordered by my professor, . (Most awesomest prof ever and all that, you should go visit him.)

Yeah, and I took the idea to a variety of stages before I stripped off everything else in the pic and just left god and her world.
The original concepts were a lot busier. One version had a bunch of other worlds scattered around her feet in ruins, that's why her eyes are looking off to the side. Another had her sitting atop a tuft of clouds, with a bit more art equipment around her, and a few less worlds at her feet to free up space. And I won't go into how many different expressions I had her making to convey "changing her mind". But I wanted to take advice from and try to make a relatively simplistic piece. So everything got taken out. With a big.. white.. background. Eh heh. And in the long run I changed the look on her face to be something more solemn. Tired, and even sort of remorseful. I have my own personal views on this statement, you know. ;)

..to be honest I'm not really happy with this. But I wanted to post it before the next assignment was delivered, and so I could divert my attention to doing something else on my mind for the night.. Oh yes, and I used some of 's brushes.

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-11-15

"God is a beautiful little girl who changes her mind.". With PF Assignment 12. artist =Endling seemed to have quite a task in portraying this concept, constructing and rethinking until finally stripping it down to its simpliest form. And where that in itself is beautiful, the true beauty of this piece is that the artist himself became much like the brooding, unsatisfied little God he is depicting. (Featured by `mangapunksai)

What a wonderful concept :wow: I honestly figured what the picture was about before reading the comment. The empty space and the floating sphere directly convey it, even though having God as a little girl is so novel. And her expression says a lot LOL. Very good!

I like her hair and her downtrodden expression. Seems very fitting. it would have been interesting to see the other worlds at her feet, but I appreciate the simplicity. Some times thats the best way to get a point across. Very nice indeed. I hope you are able to relax sucessfully! ^^

there's some things about this i really love, shaun. i like her as a character. this kind of tired, disheveled overwhealmed creator, or what have you. she looks more in her early teens than i envisioned, but that's fine.
this seems like sort of a departure from your usual style, and not just cause it's sparse. anyway, i like the simplicity both in composition and color(limited pallete! good work!) and i really especially like the earth and the way it's half-colored. it succesfully looks in-progress.
the light you've chosen(this harsh white light) reminds me of a hospital or something. it's apropriate.
my only real complaint is the feet. i know the whole thing is cartoony, but they look a little funny to me. maybe rushed or something. and since the figure is so isolated you notice little things like that. anyway nice work. i wasn't really feeling this at first, but I actually find myself liking it more and more the longer i spend with it...sorry for the short story i wrote here..

Very nice interpretation, as always. Certainly not the way I envisioned god but that's what makes the sentence so open-ended. I know what Alex means about the feet. I thought they were the legs of the chair, at first. Then I remembered that god doesn't need legs on her chair. She can float. Strange to see something from you so simple. I think it works well. I might include a few more scrapped ideas on the floor.
Makes a good companion piece to Alex's, who was thinking along very similar lines. Only his god looked a bit bratty and inattentive.

Aw, you guessed it before the comment? :) That's a good sign..

Thanks very much Cedar! Your input is, as always, a pleasure to have and read. ^^
