Description

Medium: Photoshop and Painter
Completed: December 2005

Himemiya Anthy from Utena embodies a darker side of Revolution in this piece -- the mourning of innocence and the past establishment, as she is veiled in the same color she was cursed to wear as the Witch or the Rose Bride. This is also reflected in the ruined cathedral in the background featuring a rose window, a surrogate for the rose insignia that pervaded the architecture and culture of Ohtori Academy. Anthy’s surroundings suggest a requiem for orthodoxy that may be felt by someone unwilling to let go of the past.

I find this a beautiful and sensitive rendition. Himemiya Anthy is infinitely complex and mysterious. Very fine work indeed.
