Aono – Life of Surreal
October 6, 2007
Here is one of my marker works that murdered 3 markers. Took me a week and slightly more to complete. Possibly the longest time I ever took to finish one piece of
work.
Aono from Sola.
Ok that aside, this section of text below would mainly be for those who watch Sola. Its basically the explaination for the BG design, which draws much like to the anime Sola.
Lets started from the left hand bottom area.
The Design was inspired by the stained glass at the church where Matsuri first stayed. The Black jagged design was done based on the ending animation, the part where they show something like the shadow of the tree growing.
Above it would be the sky.
The clouds are shaded as Yakas can only come out in the day when it is raining. The sun is also shaded to show it must be dark before the Yakas are allowed to roam. The Black symbol at the clouds is simply there to represent to need for darkness. Something like Batman style, where the shine the Batman logo into the sky. In this case, its like shining darkness to represent that its ok for the Yaka’s to come out of the shelters from the sun.
On the right of the sky are some checker like design.
Basically those design represent the origami Aono does. Throughout the show, it was used for both good and bad. It can bring happiness, sadness and even pain to people.
On the right, first its the Camera, representing Yorito, followed by their House, and lastly the umbrella, to represent Matsuri. The rough hatching in the srea around these objects is to represent Rain.
In any case, I submitted this drawing for the Fresh Mode Magazine competition in August, however, the September issue isn’t even out. Dying to know whether I won. If I did win, its gonna be buying Mangas at Kinokuniya for me. Mah~~~
