Artist's commentary
The Toy
Everyone in this art could be a toy. Everything changes. This is my favorite Doflamingo’s theme – the game. Doflamingo is playing with toys, not with real suffering people. The big fluffy lion, horse soldiers. The book. The map. Plans. Business-plans)
Doflamingo is young and active but he is calm now. He is clever, ambitious, he can concentrate on his own plans. There are many thoughts inside his head, they are personal and complicated, about himself or deadly simple and overall things.
Behind the throne you can see the flagstaff with four card suits and one empty space for Joker.
Doflamingo’s legs and body are entwining in a spiral, it’s look flexible and strange, and white clothes emphasizes this gesture. The map. Red lines of the movement, red stripes of frontiers, red cross of the goal are on it.
He has shoes with pink laces, and white clothes for chosen one, and mysterious purple mantle with king’s ermine, turquoise frame of pink sunglasses - so many colorful details.
