Description Of all things we humans desire, none can compare with the need to feel and look at what is beautiful in our own eyes. We are compelled to be at our best and look for the very same in others.

Do we care about how they feel when we mate for the sole purpose of pleasure? Of course not. We only care to indulge in the here and now.

The sights, sounds and texture of our personal persception beauty can drive us to insanity. Both in persuing and finding it.

This actually could be considered a doodle. That's actually how I handled it. I started doodling in pen and eventually over the course of two retraining classes (my jobplace is starting a new computer program) when there was nothing to do, this came about.

My co-workers were blown away by it, and I really pissed off another artist there because I did this completley freehanded with no guiding pencils or character building. And in fact if you know me, you know I cannot stand artists who build characters with shapes and guidelines.

Needless to say they puffed my ego up. So I thought what the hell I'll show it here and see who likes it.

I may color this at a later date, but for now seeing the reaction I got from it in this state at work, I want to see what happens.

Pen on Printer Paper, 5-6 hours of slow tinkering.

This is an excellent piece of artwork. I'm incredibly untalented when it comes to this much detail, and I hold anyone who who has this kind of ability in high regard.

Instant Fav, dood.

how do u draw like that without any presketch? and why do they piss u off anyways?

darthhorus In reply to blckfire539 [2006-02-25 14:51:39 +0000 UTC]

How? Well. That's a good question really.

I just.. do. Really. I suppose I have an eye for placement and judgement.

As far as why they irritate me? Mainly due to xerox copy artists. Once you are able to build a image, you can copy another. And next thing you know you work at Marvel or Image.

It's just my opinon.

I'd love to see how this looks colored - especially considering just exactly what colors you would go with. I might have to watch you just to keep in touch in case this goes somewhere..hehe. Even so, as it is, it's very good, very expressive. When I first saw it without reading the your notes I thought, "Hey, that makes me think of me.." in the sense that there's the human side of me and then there's all the characters inside of me (good, bad, variants, etc.) - huge black dragon included. So it makes one think - which side is truly me? Hehehehe...

There is a colored version in my gallery. I'd link you to it but I don't get how to link shit here.

It's called Transitional S Metamorphosis or something.

You make god cry.
You take a human and make It even more ugly than he did.
In short.
This Is strangely pleasing to the eyes In an artistic sense.
But how does one come up with these Ideas without eating babies?
