Description I've beared witness to this place, this prayer,
so long forgotten. So pure, so rare,
to witness such a lovely goddess.

I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem,
a dollar at a time
for one chance, one kiss,
one taste of you, my black madonna.

I'll sell my soul, my self-esteem,
a dollar at a time
for one taste,
one taste,
one taste of you my Magdalena.

this ain't great. it's old. but i thought i'd toss it up before i vecked it (possibility?) the woman is Jemmy (Maggie was just the song title) and yes she was based off of me. essentially the prototype for Major Ka. always wearin the same camisole. *yawn* Sashe on the left, Joe on the right.


Jemmy and Joe is a defunct story project of mine, about a russian guy, a ukrainian guy, and a girl caught in between (sometimes literally). it starts with high school drama in america present day (well 2003ish), becomes a pseudo-domestic war drama overseas, etc etc. lots of sex and violence and alcohol and slavophilia.

basically Jemmy disregards the situation of her home and her family/illegitimate daughter and the world at large because her and Joe's relationship is so ROYALLY fucked up but they still like doing eachtoher and probably even still love eachother. and it only gets worse when they leave america to live with Joe's rich friend from like, the eighth grade. Sashe is LOADED because he's a stock broker by day/pornographer by night. he puts her in a couple movies with him, then the ex-friends eventually start fighting over her, not cuz she's hot or anything but out of spite, and OH YEAH there is still a huge war going on and america is like, burnt to the ground, but forget about that, because in russia there are twentysomethings being promiscuous and there are night club shootings and an S&M cult and slasher antics and dead hookers in the river. far more interesting.

i dropped it because i realized i didn't know how to write about a lot of the more serious politick involved. i might unravel all the bullshit and finish it off someday, it had some promise, it just couldn't go anywhere for a while. i have LOADS of narrative that i never submitted. no one reads them because they're not FMA/Naruto fanfics. a couple of them i did turn in are here:

TECH:
i drew this in '03, before i discovered vector. GOD DAMN THAZ OLD, YO. it's pretty shitty. when i mirror it, you can't even tell it's people. it looks like snot on a monitor. but i dug it up last night, and thought "wow this song i'm hearing rules looking at this." so i formatted it nicely and here it is now. no crits, i outgrew this style (obviously).

Magdalena is ©2005 A Perfect Circle.

he's got those big, kind of sunken, slavvy eyes. he's got the kind of eyes that'd have dark circles even when he's slept enough. he IS madly in love with her. they're just having relationship problems. the blonde guy is the possessive douchebag.

i'm glad you liked it!

How are you "iffy" on this? The girl kicks so much assness it's not fair! *pouts*

sparkpenguin In reply to DemonShuriken87 [2007-06-08 03:57:55 +0000 UTC]

the girl was my only cheat-- i remember it perfectly. it was before i used vector all on its own, but i still used layers back then, and i traced a photo of my face in simple-mode and then rasterized the layer. then i drew the body freehand (i only had a webcam picture to work with.

come to think of it, that's technically an undocumented construction resource better get that uploaded to scraps and linked up here before i have a nitfit *OCD twitch*

i hate artists who can do the "i droo dis squigglez, do u leikz?" and it get's a thousand faves from clapping retard groupies and trying to smell their ass for a taste of WHAT REAL TALENT IS OMFG (artist name) IS A GENIUS I WANT TO ROLL IN HIS/HER SHIT AND MAYBE THEN I'LL BE AS GOOD

Meh, don't care if you did cheat on it, still looks cool. Whatever gets the final peice done right? Either way, still is coollness.

I HATE THOS PEOPLE! Okay, I like Pollick, i'll admit to that, i really will, but I dont' like his copy cats who do just a bunch of squiggles. His was conceptually and compositionally interesting, he thought about what to do with his stuff, but others look like a five year old could do it! >.< Then again, my grandfather's work is a LOT like Polick's so I'm kinda biased.

Either way, besides him I HATE modern art. It's so... strange and out there and just things I could do in my sleep and not even have to try at it. I need a challange!!

i hate the "ghost in a snowstorm" or "ink in a coal mine" type works people do.

dude, you painted the canvas all one color. that's not art. that's called redecorating the rec room.

haha. I need to put that somewhere, anywhere! THAT IS GOING IN MY NEW BOOK! Or if I get my idea for marvel off the ground then that's going in there too! Lmfao.

I know, I also hate the ones that just a line, or some other shit. That or, a white canvas, nothing done to it, not primed, or anything. I saw something like that once at a MUSUEM! I got pissed, I was like, "I paid ten dollars to come in here... and look... at a white canvas!? I have four of these at home!!"

not a white canvas, like a blank one? that's lamer than all hell. they had a capital one commercial about that, cuz the guy couldn't afford art supplies so he tried to pass off a blank piece as art and everyone was just like "dude you're broke, we all know it"

NotedStrangePerson [2007-06-03 23:41:34 +0000 UTC]

Really like the colour contrast. I also like the thickness of the lines - gives it a cartoon-y yet proffessional effect. Simplicity rulez.

sparkpenguin In reply to NotedStrangePerson [2007-06-04 08:36:47 +0000 UTC]

yeah i tried not to use any lines, only forms. that's the thick look i used to like. of course i was forced to outline where her hand is going through her hair. or else it just looked like... random spikes of hair up there.
