Sad Girl in Snow – WIP

by Alex Ledante January 4, 2020, 12:38 am 133 Views 13 Votes 26 Comments

So this piece has two distinctly Japanese components- first is the notion of a sad girl in snow. I don’t really understand it but am familiar with the concept. It must be a Hokkaido thing. The next is the notion of a pop idol, or idoru. Many nations have a notion of a superstar, but few formalize it the way the Japanese have…

#1 raw

so she's a sad girl and she's in snow. from her dress, she's obviously idoru. this would doubtless be an album cover or at least promotional material

  it is almost too dynamic for such a static pose

This is different because the Kawaii is normally a happy style.

It’s the first time I hear about the sad girl in snow concept, I thought rain was the sad one.

    I do feel sad when I slip and fall on ice, so maybe that’s part of the reason. Or red cheeks and nose bitten by the cold remind of the face someone has after they cried.

      the bittersweetness is understood, but it seems like there is another element that I am missing

#3 downpour is my pick. Nice lighting, shadows and nice edges.
