'... on which every person leaves a mark'

It's a beautiful saying I've read somewhere.. It inspired me to do a picture symbolizing this saying.

I'd love to know where saying comes from. So if anyone knows where it came from. please tell me!

p.s. this is the best scan I could come up with. Originally it's in grey and green. But my scanner obviously likes warm colors like red and brown..

Beautiful, i read somewhere that in your life time you will have made an impact on and average of 300 people. I love the colrs even though the scanner mess them up, they still look great.

That is a great quote... I'll have to try doing my own interpretation of it sometime.
I like your interpretation so much that mine will surely come out just like yours though... but not and good-looking for sure.

I think it's very beautiful your work and I really think your inspiration came from one picture of Britney Spears, Am I right? Bue if not, just check it out her fourth album: In the zone, and you'll see it. It's exactly, so don't say that it's "your inspiration" heheheh. That's it.

:-) Irene L Lolan replies: "Like I said before.. I used a photo out of a magazine as reference for this picture. I can't rember wheter or not it was Britney.. And I do not Care. The Proverb was a given to.. But it was ALL MY IDEA to make this picture like this."

Gimpy scanners are the worst. My old one turned everything purple, which got a little agitating.
Anyway, I really like this! The tattoos are very cool, and I like the expression on her face, very cool and detached.
Congrats on Mod's Choice!

I like the colors. Even if the scanner was screwed up.

5 Irene L Lolan replies: "Thank you, but if you're interested, I've uploaded the original version as well. I've got a new scanner.. w00t w00t!"

I really like this. Especially her body art. I think the colors work really well together. And as to the comment someone left above, even if you referenced a photo of Britney or whoever, you still altered it enough that it's entirely yours. There's no crime in using photo reference for poses. I do it all the time when I'm looking for inspiration. Besides, other than the pose, this looks nothing like Britney (thank god 2 )

btw... I found your page through your fairtale tour, which I loved. I do a lot of fairytale inspired art, and it's nice to see that there's some of us out there in the woods, mingled in with the massive amounts of Tolkien fans. 2 Thanks for making such a cool tour. My only complaint, it needs more pictures! 2

12 Irene L Lolan replies: "I've added some more pictures on the tour and if you discover some interesting fairytalepicture, be sure to point them out for me. But thank you for your comment. I honestly don't care if it was Britney and I wasn't aware that that pose was copyrighted by Britney *sarcastic sneer* But I'm pleased that some of you don't care about it!"

Oooh...Irene, this is just GORGEOUS! I love the hands, and the pose...and, holy cripes, even though you say these aren't the original colors, they work worderfully here...!! Beautiful work as always, mah friend. =)

12 Irene L Lolan replies: "Thanks Vet, for the comment.. I will visit your gallery soon as well. "

It’s a Chinese proverb that goes, "A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which everyone who passes leaves an impression." Lovely interpretation.
