Description
[[fullview]]Nive, in mid shape-shift, in the last calm moment before she breaks down in to a monster of fear.
-------
Nive- who defines the words "batshit crazy"- has eaten my brain and finally coughed up her secrets. That's for later, though.
Super-exact pen drawing is super-refreshing after so many loose paintings. This is a super clean and super-precise, better than any so far for various modifications to technique (omgartgeeknesslol). But they demand strong focus (recommended for the obsessive-compulsive x_x) and take forever, oh my goodness.
And unfortunately, you can't see all the little hatch lines, they're all mushed together. Nooooo!
Also, in this case (the original is cropped differnetly) the negative space/lack of scenery is important, pressing in on all sides, almost palpable. I mean, she's staring so intently at nothing for crissakes. Hmm hmm!
18 x 12, ballpoint pen on board.

I love the way you shaded this, I cann see the hatch lines around the arms and they look excellent. They give a different impression of the skin, like it's leathery or something. Very very nice, I love it

Okay, I don't know what she looks like in either form {there are WAY to many characters HoC characters to keep track of}... but DAMN that pic looks great.
Really dynamic, really clean... extremely creepy gaze.

I'd seen her 'normal', and 'shifted' forms, I daresay it's quite neat to see a transition. Overall, it's bloody cool.

Shapeshifting is a favorite theme of mine, so it's a shame I don't have more morph art up. And glad you like it!

I think this is the best pen and ink drawing i've seen from you yet. Sometimes i wish i could hunt you down and eat your brain to absorb your atristicleness, but then i realize my art is too different, they could not coincide within the same brain. So I shall let you keep your brain. For now.

It's definately my strongest pen pic so far And yeah, It would be dangerous to meld minds- they might explode, or brain immunity attacking either one would destroy everything and you'd be left with a mass of brains. That's messy.

awesomeawesome. I am in artgeekery mode myself and so im oogling over the technical aspects of this can't help it XD the way you've defined the planes and shapes and volume is amazering. And theres a great sense of movement.
Plus it just looks cool XD What a great character/concept.

CBSorgeArtworks In reply to werecarrot [2006-05-24 03:25:11 +0000 UTC]
Yay! What I tried to adhere to this time was to have the hatch lines follow the curve of the planes they shade rather than have them all go the same direction. It's a bit annoying but it makes a marked difference, even in sketches.

Ballpoint pen? Good lord. The softness of the textures and the fact that you grayscaled it make it look like a pencil drawing. Beautifully done, and properly eerie. My favorite bits, by far, have to be the bones and the hoof of her forward foot.
