Description All his life the answers evaded
until he met his demise
And in his final awakening
He could finally open his eyes

Though he saw nothing,
still, he felt the shining sun burn;
What he thought was a gift from God
Was a thing from someone else

Now what he had disdained,
Rather than not known,
Is foreshadowed today
by daylight he feels.

All he once believed
he forsakes
And in the new day
he will remember

All of the questions
left back there
Are the answers
he was looking for.


Contest pic for *MorRokko
(finished in the nick of time, as usual)

After 2 attempts of doing this on paper and canvas, I decided in order to prevent wasting more supplies I'd do this digitally.

Thus I get this.

Such an amazing picture may I ask what kind of technique do you use when you paint like that?

It's quite fun because I've seen you before and I remembered that I liked your art, and now I find you again by chance^^ probably because I get hypnotized by that cute little doggie -waves back-

What do you mean by technique? I'm never aware of what I'm doing, I just do it.

and thanks :3

Oh well I meant kind of like how you do the colouring for example, and shading too:3 there's an amount of number of shading techniques, gradient, cell shading, soft shading etc and I was just wondering if you used any of them or just went your own way

caroro In reply to Penzone [2010-01-16 16:26:21 +0000 UTC]

I'm pretty sure I go my own way. I just.. do it. I really don't know how to explain it. It's something you'd have to watch to get I think. D: sorry lol;;

The colours in this are so damn beautiful! What a gorgeous looking piece of art! The blue/green mix kinda reminds me of a very old game called Tiberian Sun... It's an odd mix to have

A beautiful piece of work.

The story is very interesting and gives a lot of character and gives outside sources a lot to think about. Chaman is so interesting to me, and I definitely adore him very much (he is probably my favourite of your characters)

I love the background. I have been obsessing over trees lately and I always like a forest themed picture. His pose is lovely because it shows off the shoulders and back which are mostly my favourite pieces of the body. The lighting is incredible too.

Wandererofthestars [2009-10-08 04:14:50 +0000 UTC]

it looks amazing, i love the design! but nonetheless i find his story very depressing. sumtimes things happen that make us question or forget the God who created us. maybe it was God's plan that this happen to him and he just didnt realize that some great good may come of it. interesting character tho. nice coloration & pose, looks amazing!

caroro In reply to Wandererofthestars [2009-10-08 04:23:50 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I tend to come up with some sad stories Either way, it is just an idea. One of those "what if" concepts, I guess... I've always been afraid of someone getting offended by the idea though.

Nevertheless your view on the idea is one I've thought of before. Chaman, in a sense, is being kind of pathetic and selfish about the whole ordeal. Instead of crying over his suffering, he hasn't once thought that maybe he's done something good-- maybe he's put another tired god out of HIS suffering?

I guess it's just the way you look at it, faithful to God or not. I left it fairly open for interpretation on purpose, but what I've written is his point of view.

Thanks for commenting

Wandererofthestars In reply to caroro [2009-10-08 04:45:58 +0000 UTC]

true that is what people tend to do alot. many just dont understand that to trust what God is doing in our lives is to let Him make it better. it'll get worse before it gets better, and, as the Taylor Grocery band puts it, "the road is rough and rocky before you get to heaven." so what you have as a backstroy to that character is expressively (and unfortunately) quite realistic, though it is sad too.
anyways i wanna see some of ur other draws...ill go check it out!

Glad you look at it that way, as true as it kinda is. I was kinda worried while submitting it. and oh hay thanks

Wandererofthestars In reply to caroro [2009-10-08 05:09:24 +0000 UTC]

yeh. i just hope im saying the right thing tho. i myself am worried that i might have the wrong idea. but that's exactly the point im trying to get across is that everyone has a diff point of view or concept & u never know who is accurate in their thinking or not. we just need to trust in Jesus to lead us through life as He wishes & not let the enemy get in the way of that & try to deceive us as he does all the time, wrether it be from a lame excuse for a "ufo sighting" or "disguising" himself as God. sadly we are constantly lead astray by that bullcrap & that pic u did pulls across that point of how easy it is to let that happen. i hope i havent said TOO much. Jesus PLEASE let be be saying the right thing!
