Two prostitutes: a touch of Toulouse-Lautrec

This piece, "Two Prostitutes", by Hong Kong's artist cellar-fcp, reminded me of Toulouse-Lautrec the second I saw it.
Cella-fcp, Deviant Art's codename, favourite style of art: Manet, Monet, klimt, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Schiele, Hiroaki Samura, Nihei Tsutomu, Yukito Kishir.
I could write about it analysing in detail characteristics of the painting, similarities and differences of this and that, and, many other aspects.
Lately, I rather "watch and feel" so this is the most important comment left at cellar-fcp page:
"I dunno why I like this."

Great critters by Princefala at DeviantArt

You have to visit Princefala's gallery at Deviart! As there are numerous great pieces it is
hard to choose so I did it by theme: smoking.
This is how he described the right work:

"I don't care what anyone says, Tabitha is ace. She's doing her thing and never saying sorry for it. She probably doesn't even smoke, but if you've got a cigarette, you know she's going to want it. Why? Because it's yours. And anything Kurt's got is at the top of her list, naturellement. Flippin' tarty klepto. Most people hate her. I think she's damn hilarious ^_^

I also love her and Kurt as a pairing that easily could have been but wasn't. He obviously had it bad for her. I wonder how Todd feels about that . . . :P

By the by, if you can not read it and are curious, Todd's paper says "girlie swot." And he doesn't mean Tabitha. ::sigh:: And here all poor Kurt wanted to do was get together for some studying. Ha.

Meh, not my usual lush colouring job, but I thought a slightly simpler approach worked better here. I might use this as a header if I ever get a website up and running."

Akirakirai's emotions and universe

I have published some works "exposed" at DeviantArt and this time I was browsing and found Akirakirai's profile. 

Having others sources to find those who are creative but are not on the market is one of the benefits of internet that also grant us with the possibility of finding a piece of a master that is not on books, the only source we had.

I did chose these two works by Akirakirai, whose mangas have a style of her own created in a universe quite unique, but only browsing her profile we can fully capture her art.
