Description

One of my favorite movies, and luckily one of Uko's as well! I requested it for OAX, and he was already working on a different Fifth Element piece for fun.

9x12.
OAX 2025.

While Leeloo is probably the go-to choice for character commissions from this film, I think the choice of Plavalaguna is so more interesting. Just from a visual standpoint, she is much more compelling. But nothing against Leeloo (heck, even I have a Leeloo commission). Anyway, so glad you took the path less travelled. It certainly paid off here.

I like it! but what I like even more is you capturing Mikail Lotia in the Uko photo. Man, that guy is everywhere!

I see Stingray, Jason D, and Michael Benham in that photo too! ML just gets all the fanfare

Out of this world singing voice! From opera to hip hop, she is divine!

I really like the background colors on this one as well, Uko did some very nice colors pieces at OAX,

Uko has a way with utilizing the arms in his illustrations. The background truly enhances the painting.

Uko killed this! Love the move commission choices, and I'd say artists do, too...little off the beaten path! Congrats!
