[roses tattoo]

Hope the tat comes out looking this good!

HeartlessArts responds:

me too aha

[Big Ol' Practice Sheet]

Some of the older comic books I read, had characters that looked like these... it's funny how I haven't seen characters (drawn) like this for so long! They look mostly harmless ;)

SerPounce responds:

Thanks man, I draw a lot of inspiration from older artists, I like implying lines a lot. You know, it's times like those, when I'm locked in a room for 7 hours, reading a book about a man from Betelgeuse and his adventures, that I really wish I'd listened to my mother when I was a kid. "Why, what'd she say?" I don't know, I didn't listen.

[Moira Brown undressed commission]

From Fallout 3, very nice! Had to glimpse the RobCo boiler suit to jog my memory...

bella-art responds:

Hehe thanks! :D

[Hurt Aftermath]

Severely creepy. I like the indentations you pressed into the paper, creating composition for the two figures. Did I mention creepy? Normally something this scratchy and monochrome would not be well accepted (if at all) into the Art Portal, however the figures do generate a genuinely creepy presence.

Ugh, man does not behold the gorgon and live :p It almost looks like a bird shitting out it's mate, child or familiar or something... not something I'd wanna analyze, pretty powerful piece.

linda-mota responds:

I just cut these out and stuck them together since that seemed like the better option. in retrospect i could've edited them together, but this one was kinda interesting. i think for the art portal as long as the concept is good and you can see what the hell is going in it's ok. That doesn't excuse laziness though. I felt like i should put these studies up and a comparison to the final product you'll see in a few weeks. Though shitting out children seems to be the mentality for those who like the image of a family, but thinks the commitment to another life is "sooo hard". Either that or a man who doesn't understand (and will never) the concept of motherhood. or at least normal mothers who want their children and love them.

[contemplation]

Is this a new piece? It's lovely!

[Riot!]

A lot of hard work went into this, and it shows! If nothing else, the 1970's were grimy and hazy, just like it's shown here (tons of particulates in the atmosphere, litter in the streets). Damn, it's almost like an animal version of The Warriors going on!

[The giraffe and the walrus]

Excellent work, plenty of details, the car looks lovely! At least you left out those goddamned bats O_O

[The Harvest Pilgrimage]

Bright, colorful, detailed... a decidedly un-warlike scene. As a farmer, I can appreciate the thought that went into this piece, just hope I won't need their services, should things take a turn for the worse.

[colors]

Very soothing, the color scheme is so complimentary! I love the variation and complexity of the background stars, as well as the cloud cover/nebula effect, and in the asterisks (lol) as well. Nicely done! Was this a class assignment, or just something you did?

Happy-Little-Trees responds:

Yeah it was a pop art assignment but I wanted to do something different but have it still be pop art in a way and ended up vomiting that out

[Mirror]

Another exceptionally well done piece! Interesting how they're standing below the floor (or is that my perspective?), and the mirror is a dark, rough thing, reflecting the dark, rough things beneath the couple.

linda-mota responds:

the floor thing was an accident actually and i kinda went with it. kinda added to the ambiguity. i think i guess. they did start out as a couple, but not really. to each's own. :)
