Hola i'm back in Palopo, this place is slowly turning into home for me, I'll be here for a while which means limited internet. Urgh. Still love it here though. :3

Here's a new piece, I got stuck & pretty much gave up on it for a while. Eventually tried to play around with textures and patterns and voila! done.

(closeups under the cut)

New works up! wasnt sure what was gonna come out of it actually. I started with the CARAMEL piece, which was a zoomed out image with her shoulders and torso, but I got stuck halfway not sure how to finish it so I cut her up and made CHALICE. After a while I zoomed in and realised she looked better composition-wise as a closeup face :)

Hola, looks like I can't get over my lazy bloggin habits! Well in this case I've retreated into the mountains in Palopo and internet is pretty much rarity. I'll be here for a couple of months, we'll see :P

I love being away from civilisation and well Bali is becoming a tad overcrowded.

Anyhoo the lack of internet distractions and people can be quite inspiring!

Here's a little edit quickie:

Can you keep a secret?

Hi ya'll

I've decided to reset this blog. I've been planning to split my brand and separate my commercial work with my personal work. This blog will contain most of my personal illustrations & digital imaging projects instead.

But if you wanna browse my old blog its still around at: rachelmantiri.blogspot.com
My commercial portfolio can be viewed here: rachelmantiri.tumblr.com

cheers

EDIT: Some posts from the old blog has migrated here.
