Artist's Comments

a commission for :iconmekania:
it's her character a Gypsy dancer Loki dancing in a port town surrounded by the audience formed of local kids
I hope Amanda's going to like it at least a little, heh:fingerscrossed:, of course you must believe me it looks incomparably better in original, my camera sucks so badly:furious: (i also had to cut off the big part of edges here:shakefist:)

I previously thought a quote from Rimbaud's "Childhood": "I might well be the child abandoned on the jetty on its way to the high seas" could make a a nice title to the picture but i figured with regret dA doesn't allow such long titles:doh: oh well.

It's really lovely, a bit mysterious... it looks as if the stars went down to the earth to watch her dancing, too!

...oh, and it reminds me of a painting by Gogh: [link] (a poster of it hangs above my bed, which might be the reason why I know it so well. :-))

So here it is :D Beautiful and inspiring as always...the dancer looks as if, far from abandoned on a jetty, she was actually made of stars that have come down to dance in human shape for all those people or, less romantic, as if she would dissolve into cold and beautiful stars as she dances...:)

To watch the people watching her is a joy...so many people it's hard to pick out a favourite (is it the girl in the white fedora? the three wild-haired girls surrounding the one in the red Basque hat? The boy resting his elbows on his dog? as he watches?)
And don't dare to dislike this background :shakefist: It dissolves from sea into sky, just as it should...
