Artist's Comments

she likes the taste of herself.

and so does someone else.


... dedicated to oniisan for helping me research my japanese project, and for answering all of my stupid questions :D

idea for pose referenced from ~spoonyvixenstock [link]

|edit| wow, a daily deviation, i couldn't believe it when i first saw it *__* thank you to everyone who left lovely comments or +fav'd it~ btw, 'ebi' = 'shrip' in japanese~

this was originally just a bit of a doodle that got out of hand, but after the wonderful response i received from everyone i decided to fix up her wrist, make her hand a bit smaller, and use the image as the cover of my exhibition calendar.

sorry about the huge watermark - i've heard stories that some people have been posting the original one on their own websites :(

for those interested in getting a print of this image, there is also a textured version of this same print available here, .aged ebi.

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-09-29

The coloring on the she-sushi featured in .ebi. by =guava ebbs much like water. The simple pattern in the background, a complimentry color at that, keeps the focus of the eye on the main subject matter while at the same time strengthening the image as a whole. All this with a clever concept makes for a quirky and beautiful deviation. (Featured by `mangapunksai)
