Happy Yuletart, lady_ganesh!

Title: Sea of Paradise
Gift for: lady_ganesh
Artist:
Rating:: G
Fandom: Ponyo
Characters: Sousuke and Ponyo
Warnings: Gratuitous rainbow color palette; sap
Artist notes: I think we can assume these two didn't dress themselves for the occasion; Ponyo would probably want to know what good a dress is if it's too fancy to swim and run around in. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this little illustration of fairytale romance. Happy holidays, and all the best to you and yours!

The coloring and shading is just gorgeous!

[derawr.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. This is lovely.

I love the way you drew their clothes and the sky. The colors are amazing too.

I want to find out more about this fandom now.

Ohhhhh, the dress! Their little faces!! I don't know the fandom, but this is absolutely lovely.

Oh, I still haven't seen Ponyo, but this absolutely makes me want to! Her dress is just gorgeous.

This is lovely, I especially like the way her dress comes out of the seafoam (and of course she couldn't care less about it getting wet!) Their faces are great - not sure if they're plotting or not...

[the-z.livejournal.com]

Absolutely fantastic! I love the colors, the figures, the border-- everything!

[curtana.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! I love the way they're looking at each other, and the way her dress blends with the sea-foam, and the swirly border, and the colours, and everything :)

Okay, I have no idea who these are but it's so gorgeous, the colors her dress their gaze -- beautiful!

Oh wow, that's lovely! I especially love the colors and the flowing border, and the way that her dress hints at her origins. :D

Absolutely gorgeous! This really captured the beauty and wonder of the movie, while your style compliments it so well!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Stunning and still completely adorable. :D I adore your painterly brushwork and palette! It really makes want a sequel now, hee.

[paperclipchains.livejournal.com]

So sweet!

[zephre.livejournal.com]

this is lovely - adore the colors and the expressive pose. they're quite the pair!

[alias_sqbr]

This is so pretty!

[mashimero.livejournal.com]

This is so pretty! I love the colours!

[chomiji]

That's adorable! I love the way Ponyo's necklace echoes Granmamare's, and that her dress is orange (and ends in a frothy white frill)! And that Sosuke's outfit echoes his captain's cap from the last part of the movie.

This is awesome!

Loves:
- the bright contrast of orange and blue
- her hair
- the rumples in their clothing
- the ruffles on her skirt that look like sea foam climbing up to reach her. SO COOL. I don't even know if that was intentional, but that's what it looks like.

This is beautiful, I love the colors and the subtle shading and the background is gorgeous! Lovely work.

[jenzay.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous painting~
It's so colourful and soft, and Ponyo's ruffles dipping into the water add just the right touch :)

[inknose.livejournal.com]

.....I JUST DIED FROM AWESOME OVERLOAD
I will say that the way the sea foam is becoming her dress is brilliant, but beyond that I can't even speak right now sdfjkfdfj

[wellington.livejournal.com]

Ooh, the colors! This is lovely. I don't know what this style of coloring is called but its beautiful. It's got that sort of desaturated quality but the colors are still so bright. I really like how the background is layered. And the clothes are awesome. Great work!

[vejiicakes.livejournal.com]

This. Is. GORGEOUS.

This is such a brilliantly thought out piece. I love the fishy-implied dress--not unlike Ponyo's fish body, which was kind of dress-like but fish-taily in its flow and movement, this new more mature dress seems to match the same basic idea. I'm mesmerized by the frothy, foamy ruffles and the lovely subtle sheen on the dress, and I adore her necklace--echoes of the jewels on her mum :D

Heee, even when they get older, they still have that look of innocence and wonder about them ^_^ Your color palette is beautiful and striking as well. Wonderful work!

My heart just grew nineteen sizes. I haven't seen Ponyo but the sheer force of adorable, beautiful, and sweetness is overwhelming. The colour palette is certainly not gratuitous, this looks lovely! Especially the contrasting colours of their outfits. The "foam" frill of Ponyo's dress is a great touch.

[thelovemafia.livejournal.com]

I came by way of demoerin reccing this, and just want to say this is lovely and beautiful and I love how the frills of Ponyo's dress echo the foam on the waves, among other things. Lovely and beautiful and perfect - that's what this artwork is!
