Thanks^^ I actually am quite pleased with the yellow stripe myself. Moreso for the experimentation of it and what it represents than the actual color of it.

Such High class. I'm totally gonna need to commission you someday...
I love the massive amounts of divesity here. Seems like it should be chaotic and hectic, but it all kinda makes sense (for some reason) I appreciate the cifferent clothing styles, I always make my people look the same genre (But I'm lame)
I especially like the cabby hat boy :3

i know you've probably been asked a bajillion times, but what pens do you use, and how do you get yellow? to date, i've never seen a yellow ballpoint...

besides that, very cool. they look as amazed as i am with this picture.

where on earth do you get the ideas for this? as chaotic as it looks it also extremly well organised and looks well planned
and yes...i too could sit and stare for hours...well at least until your next fantasmagorical (hehe i love that word) deviation comes along so i can sit and stare at that for hours too
theres just so... much... detail... *passes out with detail overload*
i am in love

DeaDNeSS In reply to crazy-fear [2005-12-10 00:42:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks^^ Sometimes i don't know where the ideas come from. I think at some point I saw a picture from a lantern festival or something, and that's what probably influenced the many stoplights...I have a thing for stoplights...and the giraffes were from the fact that i thought it would be awesome to have a tiny pet giraffe, and then i started drawing them all over everything and was like 'I should put these somewhere...'

While I know it's not Friday and I realise you usually don't reply to comments, I feel like I must ask as a long-time watcher and admirer:

Do you have some sort of rough sketch you lay out? How did you learn the perspective you use in your arts? Do you draw a grid of some sort? How long does it usually take to accomplish something like this?

I know that was more than one question, but those have ben bugging me for a long time now. As always, I love your work and all that jazz.

DeaDNeSS In reply to K8lynProverbs [2005-12-10 00:36:02 +0000 UTC]

Thanks^^

For a lot of my pictures, I usually do a doodle or a rough sketch. For this picture, when i did the doole, it was pretty much that guy and the lights. Everything else came by itself when i started doign the good version. I actually was taught how to do perspective in middle school. We had to do 1 and 2 point perspective on a peice of paper, and I actually failed the assignment XD I was the only one to fail, but since I did, the teacher changed the grading scale so I would get a C. Then when i was in ninth grade, I was taught how to do it by another art teacher and just like exploded with all kinds of crazy drawn building and stuff. I've tried to teach it to a few friends, but no one else seems to understand it As for the length of time: I'm not sure. I work on so many projects at the same time that i am constantly dropping things for months and then picking them up again, so i really don't and can't keep track of how long something takes me to finish.
