Oiran de los Muertos
November 1st, Day of the Dead. The Oiran de los Muertos. She dances, perhaps in a Day of the Dead parade, perhaps in a private corner room of an Edo Period Japanese tea house in the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters. It’s hard to distinguish between beautiful and frightening, but she is eerily captivating to all those who see her.

Great! I love the rendering, and the colour is just to die for… Is it watercolour?
Thanks so much! It’s actually colored pencils. Call me old school, but I’m just not ready to jump on the computer color bus quite yet 😉
I love this detail, and those pencils. Great job on this!
I’m feeling the culture mash-up and the color palette. Fun.
Wonderful work & I like the mixture of cultures! Had my own Day of the Dead thing percolating, but I don’t think it’d turn out as nice as this.
Fantastic! I really really adore how you mashed up the cultures. Ace coloring as well!
Original and well drawn.
