zancan β€” I Fill Desert with Uselessness

Description I evolve in the creative emptiness of my surroundings. Inspiration gone, my mind finds reasons to create in the shelter of my autistic world. All nude in this weak oasis and my feelings as well, I'm trapped in the jail that I silently build.
-----
This is oil on canvas. I used an airbrush fed with diltuted oil paint to paint the sky (there is nothing moe dirty than doing this). I made very few sketches before painting it. At the end I don't like it that much, it looks wonky to me, the hand and thigh on the right look ugly. But there is lot of meaning behind, i just hope you'll catch it.

I felt the meaning by experience It's safe to say.

The right arm and thigh don't look ugly one bit. In your eyes they may look ahkward because it is normal to be your worst critic, but it truly is beautiful.

excellent job, the fact that you used "traditional" materials (especially oils!) is cool. it must have been a lot of work to blend the colors. it looks like it was airbrushed for the most part. nice

:whorship:

Your capabilities are surperb I alot of emotion behind this peice.... the colors speak as well as the figure...

It makes me think of someone stripped of everything... and in that they return to childhood innocence and their mind begins to wonder and slowly they exclude themselves from their surrounding day by day until they have trapped themselves in their own mind. Their desolate way of thinking draining out of them and pouring in to tendrils of their fiction cage!

A great Piece!!

holy shit theres a lot of comments on this. i really like the softness of the whole picture with the exception of the bark. youve got very good sense for the coloring and you did the man perfectly. The entire picture is pretty symplistic but thats good because it leaves the meanin more up to the viewer

I feel silly for posting this... you already have so many ego-cookies. ^.^

But really... I think it is breathtaking. Yes, I got the message... even before the description. I guess you really conveyed it well then...

It does look very... mystical. When I look at it, I think of another plane, perhaps that of an inner mind, and I do love it. I think my favorite part of this piece is the fish next to him... it seems to give the piece a sense of atmosphere [water], but at the same time... distracts you from thinking it to be reality.

I dunno... maybe I'm just saying gibberish. ^.^

But I've looked at your other items as well... you are superbly talented, and I am in awe of what you do. I hope to see more soon.

Been a pleasure,
