I'd love your opinions here. I've recently won two original paintings used for box art on a figure line. They are beautiful gauche paintings.
I was wondering how to classify these? The closest I could think of is that they're hanken mono. What do you think? Can I use that term without them being cel paintings?
I think so...If they where used to create the merchandise, than they fall under those terms....A Hanken can be a cel, sketch or any other type of artwork...or that's the way that makes the most sense ^_^
Some say that life is like a box of chocolates, I say life is like a box of cake.
I'll third that. If the manufacturer had to pay for the right to use the character(s) in the paintings, I don't see why they wouldn't be called hankens. I hope you'll be putting them in your gallery; I'd really like to see them! I believe the term is 'gouache', though. I'm not sure you'd want a gauche painting.
Sorry.
