Description -Nothing Really Was There

So I was listening to Hong Kong by Gorillaz on repeat for a good 3 hours...and this is what was born!...that line really really describes Marie Jayne's personality... shes pretty but shes nothing but a drag on society... what good is outter beauty if you don't cultivate the inside? -- other then being every man's/Lesbian's fantasy, beautiful and stupid..but man won't that suck when yer older and beauty fades?

I tried a few new tricks i learned from =zombielily on this...I'm still debating weather i like them or not...I just felt a strong urge to draw Marie Jayne with her classic vacant expression. and who am I to ignore art urges!?...She's so fun to draw..but god i hate her guts so much..but as a chracter? i adore her...p.s..i hate her left hand..don't look at it.

also since this was inspired by music...I'm double whammying it into an entry for *PolythenePucko 's sound activated contest [link] ..I have no idea when she'll stop accepting entries so if you wanna enter do it soon! i know i have 2 more thing's i'd like to enter.

Here's the lyrics for anyone who wants them.

Hong Kong - Gorillaz

Lord, hear me now
Junk boats and English boys
Crashing out into the noise
Electric fences and guns

You swallow me
I'm a pill on your tongue
Here on the nineteenth floor
The neon lights make me numb

And late in a star's life
It begins to explode
And all the people in a dream
Wait for the machine
Pick the shit up leave it clean

Kid hang over here
What you learning in school?
Is the rise of an eastern sun
Gonna be good for everyone?

The radio station disappeared
Music turned into thin air
The DJ was the last to leave
She had well conditioned hair
Was beautiful but nothing really was there

Julia: "Don't worry, honey, I love you just the way you are: a hard-drinking, drug-using, man-eating, blonde, rich, WASP, completely plastic and fake stuck-up BITCH! Just like me! What's not to love?"

It was a song they did for the warchild effort, 1$ per download. all proceeds got donated to warchild. It's a really beautiful song tho- XD i have some friends who got offended that i stuck it with such a rotton chracter.

Like most people that have commented. My eyes went to her boobs when the picture loaded. I couldn't help it! xD They're just so perkily drawn in just IN YOUR FACE.

They're good boobies though. I don't know why, but I like how you did the lineart in this picture with the randomly bolded lines. I'm digging the shading on her boo--I'm just digging the shading xD Only like Sherry said--the background is a wee bit too distracting.

Pfft. Didn't you learn anything about colours in art school?! D: *pokeprodACUSE, joking though*

...Man... a blonde teenager in drugs, its really like stupidity at the power of a Neperian Log. (not to be racist-stereotypical... im just joking but its still kind of true)

Like i said she is based off someone i actualy know- so yes. racist-stereotypical it may seem. it is true...

think about it. stereotypes come from somewhere.like people who say blacks steal VCRs and crap or puerto ricans are lazy (because most of us are XD) and most of the kids -I- personaly know who are on drugs are rich/pretty white kids. it's a shame really that people misrepresent their race.

thank goodness for the few shining stars who don't follow their stereotypes X)

Well... he's Aboriginal, not African-American, so it might be different, but meh...

this looks really good. i like the way it came out. tho she looks kinda creepy without a nose. xP

zombielily [2006-07-30 16:04:39 +0000 UTC]

Its nice but the background really kills it. Like, its really bad xD; Dispite the fact that shes a drug addict and probably sees the colours, I find it too bright and drowns her out completely.

However the the colouring overall looks great, but you need to stop colouring with such vibrant hues because Im sure you've noticed that you cant shade some colours proporly, and thats your problem. You can make a colour that isnt as bright as you want, and then shade it up so it is~ Thats what I do.

Nice entry too, I like how you did her hair the most here.

Candy2021 In reply to zombielily [2006-07-30 16:38:59 +0000 UTC]

yea i wanted to make it rainbowy and trippy- but i think i went too far. i really should have slaped a filter over that.

hmm i make listen to that hue thing. because i do have a hard time shading some colors. thanks for the tip

LiquorDoll [2006-07-30 05:25:31 +0000 UTC]

Having no nose to look at is so distracting - I only just realised that from your character D:
Her neck could be a TAD more curved - just to keep it looking feminine. But everything is looking good. Especially her right arm/shoulder and her boobies.

Candy2021 In reply to LiquorDoll [2006-07-30 17:22:56 +0000 UTC]

MistressOfSporx [2006-07-29 22:24:12 +0000 UTC]

I definitely can see from her expression that beneath her beauty queen exterior is empty, wasted space.
She's so freaky-looking without a nose.

PoinkRaven [2006-07-29 22:16:50 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! For some reason I especially like how you drew her breasts. I don't know why, I just do. They make me hungry for marshmellows though.
