You've got a great talent!
The expression sort of makes you think:
"That poor little bird's gonna get himself fucked-up!"

how long does it take you to make a piece like this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmm this one? From sketch to inks to wash to scan and color...this one took about 3-4 hours total because it's not very complex....something with background and more color and detail usually ranges 7-8 hours, but it all depends on what's being drawn. I like to work quick because I might get bored coming back to it

I don't usually draw, but that's the problem I have when I do try to do something fully rendered. Short attention span = photography.

haha is that pro-photo or anti? that makes sense. often i'll start something really cool and after a while i realize that it's just bullshit. great ideas don't run out of steam.
photo series = excellent ways to convey ideas. or so i believe at this point.

kickass!
The shadowing is very effective, makes the whole thing creepier ^^

what is it that makes kids so easy to look creepy? thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I think it`s because kids don`t really care about the difference between right or wrong, and thus will do anything if it`s fun.
That, and their really big heads.

Ooh, creepy. Well done, and the backlit glow is nifty.

like Somara(sp?) that creepy chick from the Ring, only with blue skin and a lot scarier... i can't tell if she's petting that birdy or trying to shove her pinky into its neck, lol. 
really nice picture. your characters are always full of emotion. mine are just kinda 'flat'...

The glowing effect is very neat here.
But for some reason, the face is driving me nuts. Must be the eyes.

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in the front of his trousers. The barkeep asks the pirate "What's that thing doing in your pants?"
Says the pirate: "Arr, it's drivin' me nuts!"

ooh, she looks eeevil! Like one of the kids from Children of the Corn or something... and is she going to stroke the bird or squish it? Excellent stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
perhaps stroking the bird would be more disturbing, only delaying the inevitable destruction of its mind, body, and soul....which the kid will probably do shortly. I kind of like the ambiguity of it. Thanks man!

I love the lighting and I want a jacket like that. The bird is a great contrast of color to the rest of the picture (aw crap I'm going color theory class on you).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i fear no color theory! i still don't understand complimentary colors...shouldn't ALL colors be free?

I love the pose and expression of the character. Great outfit. Gorgeous tones and lighting. Well detailed.

Those eyes... I can't stop looking at those scary eyes and that smile.. Is like she's having a good time, enjoying the viewer reaction on what's she's doing to that bird. The white brighty background helps a lot to focus on the char too. Nic, nice piece.
I don't like her, she looks bad, very bad from the inside, rotten. Excellent work.

rotten from the inside, like a bad apple

HOLY AWESOMENESS. Rock on Rob! This is fanatastic. The creepy kid is sooooo well drawn out and cool looking. I am in love with his little (dead?) bird! Great color! The hair on this fella looks great!
