Description Inspired by a few songs. Started it listening to "Don't Fear the Reaper" by HIM ( Coloured to another version by the Muttonbirds aswell), and finished to "Out of my Mind" By James Blunt. I was also listening to "Four Seasons in One Day" by Crowded House. And the result? This.

I don't normally colour my Irken's blood red, but I wanted the strong contrast between the colours here, black and white, blue and red.

Altogether, I rather like this piece.

Ahh. I could imagine this as a painting, one I can touch, because the way you've coloured it in makes it appear so.. I really wish it was though, gah.

This picture reminds me a lot of loneliness. I'm not too creeped out by it at all really. I can see a bit of steampunk inspiration in there too - I love

This one overall, I really like to look, especially with the comfortable colour scheme. You've chosen a fuller, deeper red, which isn't hard on the eyes, and compliments your choice of blue well. Very well done, I say

Wow, thanks. I suppose all my random experimentation with the digital painting technique is starting to achieve something XD

D: Not creeped out? Aww.
XD It is rather lonely, as Saik is normally so. And steampunk=Mad love XD Can't be stopped.

C: Thankyou. I'm working alot with colour schemes right now.
Thankyou CB

Blood and water remind me of that painting with Jesus's Sacred Heart.

I really like how you did this one. Simple but really awesome and somehow creepy. Maybe because of those dark swirls.

Deeeepp... > >

*shot*

You see, your pictures are much more interesting because of the meaning you give them and the creativity you use, like with the blacks and such to create a dramatic effect. That's partially what art is about. This is very expressive and therefore it's gorgeous.

I love how in the bottom corner the swirl thing and wing transition from dark red to black. I also love that open mouth in the background with the water flowing out of it.

Gah. This picture is just so awesome.

Poor Saiky.

XD

Ha. My mind is just totally fawked, that's all.
I just find art's the way I get my thoughts and impressions across. I'm too afraid to speak out sometimes, so it ends up in these lines.

Thanks, the swirls were my creative spirit at me to put funky music shapes in XD
Thanks. I think that was a skull at some stage XD

Ffff, thanks.

Oh, she's used to this shit by now CB
