Distorted Affection

I'm better at talking about and analyzing stories, so apologies if this seems a bit sloppy.

Vision: It's a very nice idea/thought. Two opposites making at attempt at romance (or as I am seeing it, one making an attempt, and the other seemingly acknowledging him). "Forbidden Love" is a phrase that comes to mind when I look at it, two things that aren't suppose to be together. It's a nice take on the shallow viewpoints of "Good and Bad".

Originality: It's definitely something I have never seen before, or at least something I haven't seen done in this way before. I'm looking at it, and the boy looks like a dead tree, sad and depressing, and the girl looks like a cherry blossom (unsure if that was your intention, but if it was kudos to you), which is usually characterized as bright and happy. A very nice way of illustrating your "vision".

Technique: It's very nice, the beautifully contrasting colors. It's nice that instead of going black and white and a stark contrast, it's instead black/gray and a nice beautiful light pink, which in my opinion is a better contrast for the view you were trying to convey. Black and pink, depressing and happy, dull and bright. These are things that I think of when I look at this art.

Impact: I don't know. At first I was looking at it and feeling creeped out. The way the "boy" looked, the way his arm stretched out, his various tree branches extending in different directions. The way the love letter seems to be dripping blood, like he either wrote it in blood, or the "paper" isn't paper. The more I look at it though, I just feel sad, like he is trying his best to show her that he can be as bright and meaningful as she is, but no matter what he can't show his true emotions because they always hide behind an veil of creepiness.

Art is a beautiful thing where many people can look at it and see completely different things. So I honestly have no idea if any of what I just said was accurate. I digress though, this is honestly a beautiful piece of work.
