Description
A scavenger waits,Until the end of oblivion has past,
to search and feast upon the waste lands,
like a vulture circles, dead meat.
After all, the scavenger knows
There are rich pickings, to trade,
in the waste lands of those battle fields,
in the ruins of those Cities, Ah to be A scavenger,
Yes that's the life for me.
Carrying on with the dystopia theme, Apocalyptic wastelands and other future events that may or may not occur, i decided to Think of the idea on the aftermath of War, an Apocalyptic war, And pondered on what a day in the life of a Scavenger would be like - so, i created this drawing, that mainly is in the line art\hatching style. I wanted the Character to have a steampunk slight appearance, some kind of artificial limb, A cape, I utility belt, pouches, Weapons and other items that you can see. The Figure is carrying a sack full of various objects,and sifting through the junk and other strange looking surreal items that are in the foreground of the drawing. the moon is full, there's some Strange looking Spherical objects and a pyramid object in the sky too. maybe probes or even drones ...who knows..

Harvey Jacks Is an Artist i admire very much, his smooth subtle style and character design is something quite fantastic to view, if you have time, go check his artwotk out. like most of these artists i adnire, they not only hold great artistic skill, they also have such wonderful imaginative minds and this particular artist gave such a beautiful analysis of the ''Scavenger'' that i just had to add his Thoughts and interperation of this drawing, read below;
''Scavengers background'' Described by Harvey Jacks
www.deviantart.com/thejetblack…
I keep thinking about this scavenger. Like on deeper levels. Obviously we get why he does it but is it all out of necessity? Is it somewhat out of boredom?
I’m now looking in the direction of enjoyment. Whose to say he Isn’t smiling under that visor? Perhaps his heart skips a beat when something rare and exciting catches his eye. Heck, I think I can hear him whistling in there! I wonder if he has a vast collection of trinkets and do dads back at his home? Like some stuff he collects as resource and others for his personal enjoyment. Oh but his bag is huge. It must all be for resource. Nah, can’t be. Look at all those pouches and pockets he has. That’s where the treasures go! Thats where he keeps those items that are near and dear to his heart. I knew he was a sentimental sap!
Next I’m wondering what he looks like from the pyramid’s pov? That thing can’t just be up there alone. It has to be piloted by someone or something. Whatever the case our scavenger friend seems to pay it no mind so that tells me it’s not such an odd occurrence. To him at least.
Like a leaf on a breeze, we just blew away...please enjoy the artwork.

Omg no no Melissa, he's far from threatening, he's just a scavenger in a post apocalyptic wasteland sifting through junk and looking for any items worth trading.
Thank you so much for your compliment

Yes I definitely like these they have a good style to them and again it just reminds me of art from old magazines! I like all the surreal details to this though and it makes it rather dreamy, sort of like memories or even the past lost due to a pointless endless war changing the world forever. The tint of blue and red is really nice as well!

Thanks Ollie. i always lived those old comics that had this type of lineart style, they were quality and very attractive to the eye. it's my interpretation of those amazing drawings. thank you for noticing the hint of colour too, i find hints of Colour in this style always has an aesthetic appeal too me.

SoldierOfThe44th In reply to JamesB000 [2020-01-30 10:27:22 +0000 UTC]
Yes there is something charming about this type of line art with subtle shading, I think its also because the picture looks very clean and so its easy to pick out all the details which really helps. I agree as well about the use of colour, it shows that you don't always have to do a whole picture in colour and just hints of it can be really effective. I look foward to seeing more of this type of art!
Oh and out of interest I actually do line art drawings in pencil of my art before I copy them to canvas/paper and start painting them, they don't have any shading etc though they are literally just lines sort of like a colouring book page!

I will look into it and dig them out, one reason I haven't uploaded them already is because just like a colouring page they are easy to take and colour in by someone else so I will have to work out how to do a watermark to stop this but also not ruin the picture!

Upload them to Stash and then send them to show me in notes if you don't want thieves to take the originals. i know what it's like on here and be sure i'm certainly not into stealing art but it's up too you of course Ollie. with me, i don't really care. i create artwork but not to bothered who takes it...i just curse ever one of my drawings..lol. like the Creators of Superman did, when they got ripped off all those years ago, they cursed anyone who would profit from superman and all you have to do is research the curse of Superman...sounds like a lot of nonsense but it's interesting....my curse is a joke of course..i really don't care. i like looking art art, communicating with artists and if they like my Scribbles then that's a bonus.

Ah ok that sounds like a good idea and then that way I can just show them to people I trust if I don't feel happy about uploading them to the main page, when I have time I will take some photos then though as its February I will be uploading my new piece of art first!
As for the curse of Superman well I did look it up and well its definitely quite bizzare even if its just plain coincidence, when such odd things happen like that though in succession you can see why people believe it though I doubt its stopped everyone making money off Superman! Perhaps there is a curse of Deviantart!

Awww, no need you feel like this guy is threatening Dennis, he's just a lone scavenger, sifting through the wastelands of a post apocalyptic earth, searching for any items of value, so he can trade or barter with.

"Oh he's nice, just your local scavenger going through stuff in a post apocalyptic Earth" your comment reminds me of when I would walk to Mass with my mother when I was 3 or 4, (we called railroad riders bums), she'd say," don't be afraid Denucci, they are just bums and winos that have destroyed their lives!! You made my dull day!

You have memories of making your mother and sister laugh Dennis, they're priceless, treasures. i often think about all the fun and laughter - the love, the sorrow with my parents and wonder sometimes was it all for nothing? i really need to believe there is some kind of existences after this mortal world, i'm not talking about a heaven of paradise, that just always seemed to much like a silly fairy tale but a reality where we can see hear smell touch taste again, to be with the ones that have already past. i'm not like those Atheists, that are 100% certain that we just exist and then cease to be - how the hell can they be so certain? because of our crude methods of discovering Science? i'd like to have the idea of an Afterlife always remain open in my mind...we can't just come to the conclusion there is nothing after our spiritual body can no longer exist in our physical form...i think, there was the right and the wrong to discovering Science, we found science the wrong way. yes science has given us wonders..magical technology but at the same time, it's distorted our minds, the way we think... look how science has Destroyed not only life but environments...idk Dennis. a quick burst of pointless energy from me here..sorry pal..
You're always a good pal on DA Dennis.

I loved making them laugh, sometime I think of something form the past and start laughing all by myself. Rather lonely really, but there you have it. Our time with other is very precious indeed!
What can I say, save for, Believing is seeing! I believe in the afterlife with all of my being. Evolution is something that I just can't get behind. To weird and contradictory. To think that everything is just a random happening is impossible. The odds are against it trillions to one. Atheist really hold on dear to evolution, they seem mislead to me. Science has gone off the beaten path on so much, that I just don't trust them anymore. Your a great pal to me here on DA!

We good keep laughing, and just go with the flow Dennis Pal. and wait for the big Reveal at the end what ever the outcome is, i'd rather imagine something far more greater than earthly location and plus, i don;t want to think like those Atheists! you know what i mean !
Listen, you take things easy in these very strange times and remember those bloody Commies are everywhere more so in these times than in any Cold war period.
