Description I've worked on this for MONTHS!!!

Graphite, charcoal, coloured pencil and white charcoal pencil on 140 lb. watercolour paper - original size - 18 x 24 inches

This piece was inspired by the song "Regenerate" by Cosmicity.

Regenerate

I want so bad
to wake you up
to shake you out
and bring you here
I want so much
to stretch the seam
of what you've seen
and make things clear

When it's dark, this universe is wasted
But I stay up for life you've never tasted

Regenerate with me
In the hidden galaxy
Where takers never keep
and dreamers never sleep

I need this time
to show you in
to stop you short
of practical
I need this space
to slide you through
to show you who
you're meant to be

When it's dark, this universe is wasted
But I stay up for life you've never tasted

Regenerate with me
In the hidden galaxy
Where sunlight never falls
and passion never stalls

Feel, Touch, Loiter, Linger...
Absolute bliss at the tip of your finger
Just beyond your fear
You'll always find me here
(You will never be alone)

Regenerate with me
In the hidden galaxy
Where love can never lie
and thirst will never die

Wow, that's so totally awesome! I love the icons used, an angel and a demon, in such a loving embrace.
...
And the hotness between the 2 guys isn't so bad either

me too that why i draw a lot of guys with wings, and have a lot of OCs that are Angels now if i could just learn how to make my men actually look male in the face but not completely anime.....

sojournstudio In reply to AyamePasse [2005-04-23 04:06:06 +0000 UTC]

I highly recommend Burne Hogarth's books for drawing the human figure. They've definitely helped my work

AyamePasse In reply to sojournstudio [2005-04-23 05:05:41 +0000 UTC]

well.... like i said, i need to learn to make them look more like men in the faces i'm already progressing quite quickly on the male figure, its just faces that are hard for me and plus, a lot of my men are almost inhumanly tall (there's a reason behind that ), so i don't know if any book can help with drawing 7 foot tall human figures

Thank you

This piece was a true effort for me. I don't usually work in charcoal and graphite, but something about the image in my mind just begged for those mediums.

Isn't that amazing! When you work so hard on something and for so long, the end result is just spectacular

sojournstudio In reply to Audessy [2005-04-22 16:09:59 +0000 UTC]

You got it.

I think as I've gotten older and (hopefully) wiser, I've learned to be more patient when it comes to my art. I used to want immediate results. Now I'm content to give a piece as much attention as it needs.

Audessy In reply to sojournstudio [2005-04-22 21:48:43 +0000 UTC]

That's how I feel about my stuff too. I used to get so down on myself if I could produce an awesome picture within the drop of a dime. But as time went by, I realized the best pictures are the ones you spend a considerate amount of time on

ParabolicPhoton [2005-04-21 22:43:12 +0000 UTC]

This is truly impressive. The detail is astounding. Even the wings are carefully constructed.
I can see why it would take you a long time on such a project.
You probably were being torn in many different directions with this one, but your talent prevailed.
This piece surpasses many things that I've seen. PERIOD.

I hope you continue to present the world with other works of such brilliance.

sojournstudio In reply to ParabolicPhoton [2005-04-21 23:25:54 +0000 UTC]

There's a HUGE amount of detail in this. I'll probably post some detail shots here shortly. I probably drove one of my art professors nuts with asking for help when I'd get stuck. Part of the reason this took so long was that I'd get stuck, get frustrated and then go work on something else until I could come back and look at this with an objective eye again.

So very glad you like it and I hope I don't disappoint with future works

Holy moly! Mother Mary, Jesus Christ... that is AMAZING! *giggles* So.... tense and emotional, the immature side of me just wants to go. "Hehehe... nakee!" But obviously, the rest of me is saying: "Impressive work... impressive indeed."

I have no idea what I am rambling on about, apart from to say: well done.
