Description

My first design for the devArt clothing contest. If I have time, I have one or two other ideas floating around in my head.

The theme of the contest is 'being a deviant,' specifically, about being artists, deviating from the norm, and anything else that fuels our work.

So why a girl in a swimsuit dancing in the snow?

Being a deviant artist is not about being different just for the sake of being different
It's not about doing something to just shock society
It's not about just trying to annoy your parents with the way you dress
It's not about going against the crowd because you don't want to be in the majority

It's about staying true to yourself
It's about believing in what you feel is right whether you're in the majority or the minority
It's about that feeling of exilleration when you find your own voice
It's about finding what makes you happy even if everyone else thinks you're odd
It's about that feeling of freedom dancing in the snow

If you know me, you know how much I love color, so it was really hard to stay in the 6 color limit. I had thought of putting in the words 'Free Spirit' at the bottom of the image, but when it was finished, I felt that was spelling it out too much, but if you think I should add it back, feel free to say so. Doesn't mean I will, but I'll take it into consideration ;)

fantastic. I can't find words to explain how much I love your art, particularly the retro-pin up ones. And the explanation is so so lovely, really loved the feeling of this one.
