The Corpse: Self Portrait - 2005

It's been exactly one year since I joined Deviant Art. I had stumbled upon this site from a link on a techno internet radio site (www.digitallyimported.com). Honestly, the first thing I saw was some amateur erotic photography. Luckily, I was intrigued enough to poke around, browsing a bunch of the different styles. The whole concept of DA fascinated me. I saw some wonderful professional quality art, and some submissions by people (mostly teens) who were just starting out in the art world. Either way, The community of DA offered an excellent forum for anyone who wanted to showcase their creativity. Then I happened across the Dark Photomanipulations section. Wow! I had seen some 'dark' art here and there on the internet, but I never realized dark photomanips were their own genre! As I browsed around in this category of art on DA I realized that I would love to make some scary pictures myself. I found myself browsing DA almost every night, finding some great pieces, but I just couldn't imagine how they had been created - they looked so complex! I started playing around in photoshop, trying to make similar pieces. But I really didn't know all the techniques in photoshop. I basically just tried different things and picked it up, little by little. My first few pieces were simple, but I felt a good sense of accomplishment making things that actually did come out a little scary looking... I posted them here on DA, and it was great to start seeing some comments here and there.

Well, here I am, a year later, after about 100 deviations. I'm still doing some simple stuff, compared to some of the 'pros' out here on DA, but I'm still having a lot of fun, and wasting a whole lot of time making my 'art.' I do want to say many thanks to all the folks who look at my stuff and post comments, I appreciate every one of them! Sorry if I don't return comments in a timely way, it seems I'm always so far behind in that (as it is now it's 3:00 am, and I get up at 6:30 for work - yikes!)

I wanted to do something meaningful for my one year anniversary, so I made a self portrait. I hope you like it!

Peace,

Oh my, what a nice message! It's been so hard to keep up with these accounts and I really haven't had too much time for either art or stock. But your nice, friendly message requires a warm reply, and I thank you very much!

How are things going for you? The last time we 'spoke' I recall that there were a lot of things up in the air for you... Is life calm and serene now?

'calm and serene' ... I just know I've heard these words before ......but I honestly can't put them in one sentence with 'my life'
Don't worry ... I'm kinda used to it, it only sux when I can't express myself enough creatively.....
So nice of you to answer btw deserved !
PS: How's your wife ?
Did you tell her about this dark hobby of you allready ?

This is wonderful. I absolutely love how everything is so dark and shadowed and then you see the eyes with the little bit of light in them. And making art isn't a waste. Especially when it's as good as yours! Hope you can stick around for another year!!!

Saw this in recent deviations and just had to comment.

I love zombie/undead stuff, and this is one of the most awesome ones I've seen on devART (true, I haven't seen hundreds upon hundreds, but this is still awesome).
