Willow's branches: Blue and twisted threads. Time and again, in spring The ruffled flowers Have unravelled. - Ki no Tsurayuki ---------- While setting up posters for the Black Lotus, Zeta came across Suiko who was making a crown out of willow branches. Zeta asked Suiko to teach her as she was having difficulty keeping hers together. ----------
Done! Suiko's first SDL duel.
Okay, so this was an experimental theme for a splash page duel. The idea was to take a poem and make a splash page based on our interpretation of that poem. I study Classical Japanese literature and found a poem for both of us to try.
The idea for this is making a crown of willow branches while flowers are unravelling (blooming) and Zeta's crown is unravelling as well. I'm really happy with this and how it turned out.
I think we are in agreement that Zeta is not artistically inclined.
This is so wonderful! The gentle, muted colors really work well with the theme, and the angle is very striking. I like the character interaction as well.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
