Artist's Comments

I know it's been a while since I've shown my face around here, I've been busy with school. I'm lucky I made it out alive this semester, though I've learned a lot.

Here's my drawing final. The instructor understood that this was to be a work in progress, but this is how I handed it in. I think this is the final part of step 1, I feel that the mistakes that I've made in rendering the figure are due for some consideration and fixing.

This is a portrait of me and my cat Jet Li done is the spirit of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. Though it may look like just a parody, I plan to take this down a deeper route that really helps push not only the narrative of the work, but the various visual elements and effects as well.

A summer project which will hopefully be finished by August.

Done on 2 sheets of 4'x3 1/4' masonite, joining to form one 4'x6 1/2' image. in graphite, paint marker and prismacolor markers.

biggest scale to date, I'm having a blast.

H'omg, this picture rocks~ D8 I am SO BAD at realism mahself~!! XD I start to draw a real face, but then the eyes get all sparkly... and teh lashes grow... an' then it has long flowy hair and a button nose, and I fling mah sketchbook across the room like a Frisbee. 3:< Baah~!

The kitteh does make me giggle, though~ XD Mjau, mjau~!

I think the best spoof of this piccu was in teh Disney show "The Emperor's New School," where Kuzco references his birth on teh ceiling, which ish this painting~ XD Onry, with him in it. As a beybeh. All Emperory-like. D: I sink he has a pacifier, too~ I could be wrong. c_c; ANYWAYS, IT WAS REALLY FUNNY. ;-;
:iconego-sponge:
why thank you :) I usually have a tough time with realism as well but I find myself getting better at it each semester.

I haven't seen the show, saw the movie but nothing past that. Good movie though, no doubt.
:iconxelphina:

Hah! Long time no see :) And in that time I've gotten pretty sloppy at appreciation of art so this don't expect more than just few wiseass sentences from me :D
So here it goes:

Jet Li looks so wise :nod: Like he really is giving you the "cat powah." Some ancient Egyptian holy cat or someone like that. So the birds, the ornaments & the band (is it?) are superb!

As for you in that picture. The color toning is imho really great. The face, the collar bone... keep it up. Wanna see more :D

Without thinking of good or evil, show me your original face before your mother and father were born.
