EpochLong are days wondering in darkness
Wandering ignorance, some might
Call it a sojourn: a blind madness.
Until a spark ignites, the idea strikes.
Curiosity, whom the cat dislikes,
Bites off that head vacuous as night
And on realisation, thou shalt impress
One whom is enlightened
The wisdom of your soul so bright.

Sometimes I wish I could find a new perspective - like a brand new shiny lightbulb - so I could swap it for my chronically depressed and nihilistic brain. But then I wonder: when you are living in a world that is hostile and bleak, grey and inauthentic, might it actually be preferable NOT to see the extent of human depravity? Would it not be better to accept the darkened bulb, scraping tiny eyeholes from the soot that coats the inside glass, to stand still and peer through grimy pessimism at the masses shuffling with their self-delusions in well-illuminated conformity?
Great work, Riftress. You have much talent.Β

I love the idea of your drawing. There's not many lightbulb characters out there.

Hehe well it's not really a character but thank you!

I certainly like the aura I'm getting from this art and how its trying to give a message. Reminds me of a certain art style, but I forgot what its called -_- might check it later though XD. Anyways, the art is nice overall!

Ohh, I'm not sure what style it would be either, since to me it's just a doodle hehe, but thank you! I'm very happy you're getting good vibes from it!Β

It certainly is motivational, feels like there is always a brighter light hidden someones head.

Hehe what a lovely way to put things, I can see that fore sure!

This is pretty interesting.I like how rough and strong your strokes are. It definitely makes for interesting composition. Nice concept overall, and good call on how you used the colors. Grey for the background, black for the subjects, and white for the lightbulb was a great choice. Keep up all the good work.

Thank you very much for the motivational and supportive words on this piece, it really means a lot to me to get this kind of positive feedback. <3

Man, no matter how much I think of what to say about this piece I can't seem to find the words to interpret it. I guess I'll give this one a miss.

Hehehe, I appreciate the interest in them in any case though, thank you! <3

Interesting concept! Β You have a lot of creativity
I'm interested to know what you did for the grey tones: Just smudged pencil?

Thank you very much! I just used my desk lamp, aimed the light straight at the drawing and snapped the pic. Glad you like the end result!

I used my desk lamp and adjusted the light levels in PS.

that character looks cute : ) I would like to see it in more expressive poses

cool idea looks like the light bulb Β is actually a brain!

People decide to change, to completely renew themselves.

What a lovely interpretation, indeed I think people should follow up on this process! It would make for a lot of emotional growth in everyone.

So this guy has a lightbulb for a head and has to change it whenever one goes out? Interesting.

Looks like it if you want to see it that way.

Haha!Β Oooh . . . .Β To me, this one is sorta like taking your old, burnt-out mind and replacing it with a new one.Β Interestingly, the old mind was a source of darkness for the stickmen -- even those around it, though other people aren't depicted here.Β This new mind is a source of light by which the stickmen and others can see.Β This new mind is light in a dark place.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yes, this is very similar to what I was thinking when I made this, we think eerily similarly!
I really like your observations on how the old head represents darkness for the stickmans. I'm also glad you like the bg choice, I was experimenting with my desk lamp after I knocked it over in front of the drawing.

This is great, as are the other drawings in the series. Well done.

Interesting work. This leaves some ambiguity over what just happened. It makes me think that this person has let go of an old "burnt out" thought and found a fresh new perspective.
I find that your sketchy style gives quite a bit of personality, even with a lightbulb for a head! I love that.
I have to say that my initial reaction was that I prefer the simple white background of your other pieces to the grey background, because of the stark minimalism of that look. However, I understand the need to put in some darkness in order to show that the light is shining bright.

Wonderful and well-thought out comment, I love the normal blank white bgs to for these, but I wanted to try something different for this particular piece. Wanted to use a light bulb for a light bulb-themed drawing. Glad you like it, I appreciate the well-written comment, really I do. <3

You're most welcome! Glad to be helpful.

Even the smallest light conquers the darkness. I like the aura. Nice work.

What a lovely first sentence, and thank you! I just put my lamp right in front of the pic. It was hell to take the photo of it, but worth it imo. Thanks again!Β
