Description
Page ae-3 of a book of etchings I'm making, with the comparison of earthly life to that from the alternate earth, AE-467d2, in order to illustrate an argument taking place within its pages between a skeptic of life on other worlds and a supporter of the theory that says we can't be alone in the universe(s). Hope the rest of the book is this cool *happywithprint*. The animal plate is distressed etching and a ton of drypoint, while the text plate is distressed and intentional-incorrectly applied photoetching....oh yeah, so anyway, this is two 5x7 zinc plates with one being sepia, and the other black ink. This is my proof, I wonder if it'll look nicer on Arches or Reeves bfk.

The wicked worn look, as it's known. ; ) I adore it, myself. The whole "field notes" aesthetic. Of course, I'm a sucker for scientific naturalist type imagery, too. *shrug* Thank you!
Glad you like it.

*grin* That's quite alright. I'm sure if I suddenly tried communicating in another tongue I'd be all sorts of confuddled. Hablo espanol un pequeno, pero no puedo conversar en el... lea quiza un libro. *shrug*
Thank you again, miss Miqui

Aw, thank you for correcting the bad Spanish skill. : ) at least you got what I meant!
Nah, I think I won't fear you much. ; p

:thumb26146784: and :thumb26146844: are the covers, and the interior is bound, so I can't scan it... but if you really want, I'll make the attempt.

Ahaha, I love it!
I love the distressed look, with all of the splaters and gruff chuncky lines! Ahh, it's to die for<3
Congrats for the DD too, you deserve it!

Well, just don't die on account of me, k? That's make poor publicity. ; p I do thank you, though!

I love this...that fish was an awesome touch.
π: 0 β©: 1
But the fish is part of it... there's no picking apart elements, here. ; p

Thank yas, miss.

This is amazing. I love all of the different textures and lines. I can't really read the text, which makes the whole picture kind of tie so well. Great job.
π: 0 β©: 1
The text is tied to it, but not necessary. I like ambiguity, myself. ; )

I *love* sketchy things like this. Especially when they have fancy text on them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Text as element = yay. ; ) *nodnod*
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha.. I totally didn't notice you got a DD o_O Congrats on that though! But yeah.. more people need to use text as art *nods*

Thank ya, man! It's a fine thing to come upon a hundred and more comments that just keep coming. I always wish more people would see the rest of a DD's gallery, though. It seems the trend to only see the DD itself. Odd, huh?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well it is a great piece.. it deserves all those comments *nods*And its cool that you're actually taking the time to answer them all.. most people don't seem to do that.
It is odd... and I have no real idea why that happens.. maybe people need to be expressly told to do so? Maybe they're lazy? If it makes you feel better though this was like.. the 5th deviation of yours I saw... Yay for the random deviation button *thumbs up*

Damn... wonder why it had a field day with my work. *laughs* But that's nothing special. I always hate commenting and getting ignored if I had more to say than "nice work", yanno? Give the effort, and it's nice to be noted.
Glad you dug the work, and anything else you didn't like, well... that's what crits are all about. ; ) Thanks for the new favorite, too.
π: 0 β©: 1
*nods* I usually say thanks anyway.. its nice knowing someone actually bothered commenting me.
Haha.. no I'm horrible at critique. I like this too much anyway. But yeah... its my pleasure *more thumbs up*

That looks really amazing. Even sinister in a way. I will have to mess with that lateron aswell.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sinister is a glorious bent to take... I was aiming more for the dimness inherent in worn, old things more than the evil. : )
π: 0 β©: 1
You succeeded in that, but it also has a sinister touch due to the "filth" on the paper in combination with the rather scary looking fish.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, no complaints there. : )
π: 0 β©: 0
it looks like a face to me... like all of it together... i like it tho
π: 0 β©: 1
You're the second to say so. Huh.
π: 0 β©: 1
lol, i showed my friend and she told me i was insaine. at least im not the only crazy
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, you're still well-respected as a lunatic. ; p
π: 0 β©: 1
depends on whom you are speaking to, some might think me worse off and respect an imbecile ^..^
π: 0 β©: 1
Bugger them, then. Imbecility isn't admirable, it's just.. unfortunate.

American Masters Printmaking paper, natural hue. From Utrecht.com.

I love the rawness of it, the contrast, the movement, the writing as it's own compositional element. Very well done. It reminds me as well of Da Vinci's sketches, yours are a little darker in general but retain the same feel.

Grazie! If only I was the level of the Master.
