Art: Logan (G)

For myself I like to call this picture "Logan in the Floating World", because the concept was heavily influenced by ukiyo-e portraits of kabuki actors, like those of Kunisada. I was first introduced to ukiyo-e through my favourite fin-de-siècle artists, like Vincent Van Gogh and Aubrey Beardsley. In the meantime I have grown rather fond of Japanese art, woodblocks as well as sumi-e painting, though I still know very little about either :-).

Incidentally, Wolverine has a Japanese connection! I only found that out after I had started visualising the picture, so my discovery was rather coincidential. It seems that part of Wolverine's backstory is that he has memories of being a samurai; as his memory has been messed with, it is not clear whether the samurai thing is authentic. But still, it's nice :D.

As for this picture of Wolverine, it has a lot about it that is un-Japanese, but that is fine because it is never my intention to copy someone else's style *g*. Inspiration is fine though.

This is a gift to [livejournal.com profile] bettyboop_comic, so please don't use unless he says you can.
