[mlkfaa] - Majordomo's Album -> RafikiViewstheMoon.JPG
Posted: June 24th, 2009, 2:27 amFor the current featured contest over on TLKFAA, "traditional media / harmony".
The thumbnail doesn't look like much, but trust me, it's better when you view it. Also the real thing is 10x better, since I had to take this shot with my cell phone.
I chose to sort-of recreate a classic Song Dynasty painting called "Scholar Views the Moon" http://www.takaoclub.com/foxmyths/WuChe ... rMoon1.jpg . At least, I think it's Song Dynasty. Chinese paintings focus heavily on harmony, particularly harmony between the character and the background, or "man and nature", so I tried to do the same in my interpretation.
Done with good ol' pencil and paper, and the occasional eraser.
