「...这里是哪里?」
「终点，也是起点。」

 

从以前开始，对于轮回的概念一直很有兴趣。这幅作品也是基于类似概念的创作。

一开始的概念为：灵魂出窍与丧礼。从而衍伸出类似贵族般的身世、不舍的亲属与其往来的商人，再加上带有一点阴谋的味道。
在我脑海里的设定为：
一位公主的死，其实是国王的弟弟以阴谋陷害而致；背后的动机则不得而知。
对公主的突然骤逝，唯一产生疑虑的只有从小与公主一起长大、仰慕著公主的骑士。
在葬礼上，出席的宫廷魔术师，也因为看到迎接公主灵魂的使者所代表的意义，而感到不解。

 

“…Where am I?”
“The End, but it’s also the Beginning”

 

I’ve always been interested to the concept of Karma and reincarnation. This illustration was also based on it.

The key words of the illustration from the beginning were: Out-of-body experience and Funeral.

When I did the draft, the story of the illustration was:
The death of the princess was caused by the king’s younger brother, but the reason of it is still behind the scenes. The knight, raised together with the princess and admires her so much, was the only one who has the doubt of the princess’s death.
In the funeral, the royal wizard had a concern of the princess’s death when she saw the unusual ambassadors from the other world who came and took the princess’s soul. They’d must come for a reason.

上图是这幅画作的作画过程，与之前的HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2015!相似，在草稿后先从色块铺陈开始，再将光影作上。
在第六个步骤、快要完成时，受到了许多人的建议而作了修改，将画面上下作了更清楚的连结，让故事更容易阅读。

The picture above is the process that how I created the illustration. It’s similar to the illustration “HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2015!” After finishing the draft, the illustration was begun with the blocks of colors, and then built the lights and shadows. I’d inquired suggestions and advices of the illustration on the sixth stage and received so many good suggestions. To clarify the story of the illustration, I made a connection between the above and below spaces in its space.
