Description Here is a pen sketch I've been working on since last Friday. At this point I've gotten nervous to add much more to the drawing, but I'm satisfied with the results. This literally started out as just randomly placed lines and dashes. I was going for grungy and all, but didn't expect it to involve fetuses so soon. This is pretty much the state of my mind on most days. /: Let me out of here, damn it!

This is such a gorgeous sketch e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/> I'm quite sure I don't fully grasp the intended concept, but it seems like maybe that's not an entirely bad thing, like this is the sort of piece that's intended to be open to interpretation. I love the degree of detail in certain areas, in that I look around and can see more and more little things that seem recognizable as shapes but not entirely concrete. The only star I took off in my rating was nothing to do with anything wrong with the drawing itself, more the medium maybe. The crease in the middle of the sketchbook is slightly distracting to me, though of course there isn't a lot to be done about that haha. I also think it would be really interesting to see this taken from a sketch to a fully realized piece, like an oil painting for instance (not sure if you do that sort of thing haha, just thinking how heavy this is with atmosphere and wondering what it might be like e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/> )

Overall, really great work!!

Thanks for your feedback, man. And yeah, I like leaving things open to interpretation. Everyone perceives a story differently.

This is cool! Kind of a Circle of Life type of deal, but a bit more creepier than anything Disney could cook up.

TeaTiffs In reply to LizzyChrome [2016-03-28 02:55:32 +0000 UTC]

Ahaha, circle of life. XD Thanks man, it's been a while since I've done a pen and ink drawing like this. I should try again, it does help calm the nerve at times.

Disney does have their moments of 2spooky5u (sic) though, hehehe.

True. But, this has a very Tim Burton/2001 Space Odyssey vibe. 

Reminds me a tad of "9" as well.

Yep, probably worked on this one for weeks. I liked the illusion of values it created, but boy was it experimental. I think it worked out alright.

this is great. A little painful, sure, but there's vibrance, consciousness--that means there's hope--a possibility that it will get better, a chance to make things better.

According to me.

Well, art is open to interpretation. Maybe you're right, maybe I'm right. Art conveys emotion, so at the end of the day, I'm just happy if my art evokes an emotion or thought. I do try to look in a more optimistic light whenever I can. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Like any of my drawings, yes, they're open to interpretation. That's the beauty of art in a way. Don't remember what it was I was trying to convey, but I think I was going for somber and mysterious. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Fetuses! Oh geezXP 
I like the line work. I also like how there are different patterns throughout the entire drawing.

TeaTiffs In reply to Glowe94 [2014-05-27 17:11:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I tried to use various patterns to create the illusion of values and depth. Honest though, I'm still new to pens and ink so there's still a learning curve.

Damn learning curve XP I know that feel. I experiment all the time with various things.

I think this piece is quite fascinating o.o
I love how you can discover something new the closer you look everywhere, at some places it feels like this vase-face-drawings, where you can see something while looking at it the one way and in the next second it changes into something else...
I am not sure, maybe there should be a bit more detail on the bottom, although that could also mess up the contrast...

TeaTiffs In reply to Ayior [2014-04-26 22:21:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, there's still room to learning the tricks of what works and what doesn't. The details are supposed to great value/contrast, and the be the honest by the time I got to the bottom, I was nervous about screwing up, so I just left it that way. This drawing started out as a strange mountain like thing and ripples of water along with some randomly placed squiggles. Funny how your mind sometimes paints the picture together.

Reminds me of some of the grungier frames from my flash cartoon, except so much better and thought out. I am playing up the horror factor right now. Because I want to give you all nightmares.
