I actually reduced the red colour in photoshop.
The actual charcoal drawing is more red and less
green...but Im glad you like it

Woa... That's quite scary. hehe I like those scary looking things. Almost reminds me of Silent Hill!

Ballistyc In reply to artishokk [2008-12-30 20:25:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I get that comment all the time..
I've never even played the game, so
it must be the strange faces and the
warm colours that remind people of the
game...

If I scream the words "Silent Hill"
does that defeat the purpose of the
word silent...or am I just succumbing
to my fears??...hmm...

I think I'll just scream...
maybe I'll just scream my own name..
...huh?
what?

wait what were we talking about?
..haha...
Im retarded...
take care, and have a Happy New Years!!!

Hehe finally someone who replies with long answers!
I have only plaid the game once or so, but I've watched the movie. It's just those creepy and weird human looking things covered with blood that are freaky. and mostly, they don't make much sound which is scary. It's just there, moving without a sound like you can't predict it coming or anything. nightmare.

Happy new years to you too!!!

Ballistyc In reply to artishokk [2009-01-01 23:28:55 +0000 UTC]

I've only seen the Silent Hill movie as well.
Thought the movie was alright....started out
pretty well, but I hated the massacre scene
at te end. I thought it was unnecessary violence.

...and it seems you're easily pleased by
long answers...or possibly just long things
in general..
..haha....what?

Hahaha yes maybe the fact that people actually put in a tiny bit of effort in answering Short answers.. Or short sentences make me bored. Lol! I guess that's the reason for why I like reading! Not something that ends before you even started. Haha.

Fuck, yes! This is so... ahhhhh, no intelligent words can describe it. I like the mystery, how there's a lack of faces and therefore any recognizable form. Ack, faceless things are scary! D:

Hoohoo, yessss. x'D Well, in my defense, when I looked at this piece all these thoughts shot out through my ears like FIREWORKS. So naturally why not voice it the way I heard it?

Someone really should fix those arteries...

I kid. This is nice, Do you really think the second attempt is not as good? I agree that spontaneity has it's rewards but so can flogging the proverbial dead horse. You can come up some highly charged stuff when you keep at a piece and force attention into it.

Ballistyc In reply to glamrodhel [2008-09-09 15:21:49 +0000 UTC]

I don't like to repeat themes or concepts if I don't have a good reason to do so...
this is one of those cases where I feel like Im repeating elements due to an absence of creativity, and not for the purposes of growth.
It's become cliche and gimmicky now for me to do this type of work for no reason...
I at least had the excuse of spontaneity before, now it's just some sad degenerative excuse...haha
thank god that these are just life drawings, and anatomy studies though...haha

Great work, and I'm sorry it took me so long to comment on it! It was an instant fav for me as this is my favorite palette. I especially loved all the seemingly random strokes that are no doubt well planned.

it seems a lot of people like the warm colours.
I wish I could've found a blue charcoal to work with though.
and thanks for the favourite too.

I think the warm colors brought some life to the figures, although I'm sure I would have liked to see them in shades of blue. Nice work!

Ballistyc In reply to Decarabia69 [2008-09-02 16:57:21 +0000 UTC]

well that's exactly wanted to use a different colour.
I've become too reliant on warm tones...
Im gonna try some pastel work one of these days,
then I be able to play around some more.
take care, my friend

I would be lying if I said Silent Hill isn't an influence,

subconscious I guess.

oh thanks, Manon...
interestingly though I can't achieve this type of drawing with a pen or a pencil.
I suppose that means any success I have with these life drawings are due to the material and not my human touch..
..hmm.....that's kind of discouraging now that I think about it...haha
take care, my friend
