Description

Repentance






ABOUT THE CONCEPT

Enma Ai, the Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) became the messenger of vengenance by exchanging her soul to the keeper of the underworld.

I wanted to enforce the drawing with the title but also with the story of Jigoku Shoujo anime series. Before Enma Ai became the Hell Girl and when she was buried alive, she wore a white kimono. When she came across the keeper of the underworld who usually takes in a form of a spider and in exchange for saving the souls of her parents from eternal damnation, she agreed to become the Hell Girl who is also the messenger of vengencance. Therefore, I believe that the title "Repentance" would have strong meanings in the origins of the Hell Girl for this art work.

I also wanted to establish a very dramatic lighting especially the color purple which also signifies royalty but also darkness in this case. The spider and the web that it creates represent the net that captures Enma Ai. The background may be sakura petals or clouds.
