Description Holy fnuck, i'm alive! O_o

Sorry... I know that not many people really care about how much I draw or how much I post or how often i'm in this site... but, to be honest... it's felt like an ETERNITY since I last came into this wondrous little corner of the world wide web. Yessiree Bob, and it does feel good to once again delve deeply into the artistic throes of my mind and pull out something of "comforting familiarity"... since... so recently I feel that in some ways i've begun to let go of a part of myself that I really want to hold on to. This... my friends... personifies a GREAT deal of what and WHO I am. I have to admit that the worship that I give these creatures is more due in part of their radiant grace than anything else, but I can't help but feel part of me trapped within its mind... swimming in that ocean of thoughts and twisted dreams that must be so turbulently rushing through the creature's mind. I only mananged to capture its physical grace in this frame... the viciousness and hostility of the creature, impregnated with a distate for everything that is foreign to itself... but admitedly, also all too obsessed with that which is beyond its apparent control.

It also feels ridiculously good to write to those that would read again... being able to let my words flow through my fingertips is somewhat of a revelation to me... in some ways I never thought that written words could express more than verbal ones... but life, once again, manages to surprise me with so much feeling that transcribes itself from my mind directly into this screen that stares at me so mutely once more... for within the very words that I create I feel a projection of myself being placed permanently within those immutable words... crystalizing myself within this digital medium, I am given a sort of... "persistence" this way. Much like the Alien constantly shows itself in my head... flashes of memories and dreams rushing by at speeds far too quick to percieve... I can only tell that it is there... hissing silently in the darkness behind my eyes... begging to be released once more... urging me not to let go of it... to maintain its life by offering my thoughts to it so it can devour me in its sensuous and sinuous grace.

Man, it sure does feel good to be here again I can only hope that my frist drawing, which inagurates my return to this place, will be of great enjoyment to everyone and everything (Hey, we never know which people are the TRUE Xenomorphs among us ) that would look upon this picture... and though it may not be much, it's at least a new start for me to get back on my feet and start drawing my silly arse away Bon appetite and take care, everyone Meow meow meow

Oh, I almost forgot to mention... this thing was named after the ones in AvP and Alien Resurrection... as you can see the distinct aerodynamic shape of their head... and, of course... because that idiotic lady (I wish she would just die... along with the rubber-faced Predator) kept calling the Aliens "Serpents"... Well, in some sense I guess the name fits and it sounds good... but it'll always be Internecivus Raptus for me, mon frer (Or simply Alien.... or Xenomorph )

I certainly wasn't expecting that kind of reaction and certainly not one of those favoritey star thingies as well in one of my pictures Meow, meowie wowie... heh, i'm... at a loss of coherent words, actually ._. I'd love to be able to demonstrate how utterly thankful I am for such a wonderful comment and such good observation of the details in the picture (not to mention LIKING those details in the first place)... but really, I can't say much except...

Spank you very very very VERY much... and before I forget any more lines...

Do tell, heh heh You ain't kidding on being cool, though... because you's is pretty dang cool indeed It takes a lot to be someone as wonderfully TV show/comic/videogame obsessive as you are... for that, you have my gratest praise I'll lurk around your galeria for a good while, if you don't be mindin', that is O_o

Ah but to what cost am I TVshow/comic/videogame obsessive?! Lol, it infringes on my artsyness, that's the cost, lol. I have no time or (mainly) imagination to draw anything decent/original... my gallery is 95% fanart! O_o Lol, oh well. Unlike a lot of deviants, I accept the fact that I'm one of those folks whose obsessions get in the way of creativity... I'll worry about that when it matters, though... when it becomes one of those "need to draw for food cause I have no other skills" things. Lol. Thanks a lot, lurk away, as will I!

Ohhhh... or it's a "dragon" if you like
It's so good to see something of yours here, beyond that something good and worth looking at again and again. The detail and recognizable scribble-shadings are all very much you, except amplified. It's beautiful... and it's a favorite for me. More, later

etamnanki In reply to visceraldagger [2005-08-15 06:45:21 +0000 UTC]

Well, it could be a dragon... but then again it would be replacing the all too beautiful Alien from AlienΒ³ if I called it the dragon The dragon shall always be the viciously gracious and animal-like Alien for me... but... if one were to place these creatures in ancient mythology... I guess that one could end up calling them Dragons... or Dragon people... O_o Or something of the like... they seem to have all of the characteristics of those creatures of myth... except maybe for the firey breath... but you have to give them credit for spitting acid whenever they would wish to

I'm glad that you enjoy looking upon this picture again and again, dearest Elizabeth... and of course, that you would welcome my return into this little corner of the web again heh, as I stated in our previous conversation... the cobwebs and the (I almost fell for a "teh" there O_o) musty and dank smell of abandon was starting to fill this place... I cannot possibly let the artistic side of me die... for without it I would be less than nothing I'm also very happy that you remember the style that goes with my drawings very well... to my scribbles, to the shading I use, to the subject matter And that in this picture... they are exemplified in a way that would demonstrate my return in full force... meow meow

I'm incredibly thankful and honored that you would favorite this, my dearest... I can only hope to provide myself (and to a certain extent, you) with more pictures, drawings and general works of art... I find myself so released and free when I get to manifest myself in such a way... I really hope that I can also do so much more, Elizabeth...

I'll be looking forward to seeing your work and reading your comments once again Thank you very very very very very very VERY much again for the kudos und zee praise, frauline

Dude.......whoa........it's so detailed. That's frikkin' awesome!!! I love it! How long did that take you?! Ya know, you could try coloring it ... then again, if it were mine, I'd be to chicken to color it for fear of screwing it up.

etamnanki In reply to WarriorAlien [2005-08-15 06:25:44 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you so very much for the comment, Alien As I would always say, detail is paramount when I draw... and i'm very glad that you love this drawing And... of course, that it would at least do the fabled creature that is so acclaimed and famous some justice in how it is presented.

As for how long it took me to do this... I would say 3-4 hours, give or take some minutes... even though I had to do this over a long period of time since I only had about an hour of drawing per "sitting" of this here drawing... I would like to color it as well, but i'm also a chicken shite when it comes to coloring drawings in fear of screwing them over with my rather limited coloring abilities... I guess I haven't really had too much practice in those ventures... though I would LOVE to learn a lot more... meow meow...

Guess that i'll have to strive a bit more for better quality O_o Thanks again for the kudos

No esperaba menos de ti la verdad... me gusta mucho por lo detallista del dibujo, es impecable, se nota que disfrutas mucho haciendolo.Viendolo se siente que este Alien vuelve a la vida.... regresa de las cenizas con mas fuerza que nunca, reclamando venganza por lo que es suyo, intentando reivindicarse, se siente tan vivo que siento su aliento en mi nuca... grΓ‘cil y brutal, Excelente

Agradezco mucho que hallas hecho un comentario a este dibujo... heh heh, la verdad se me hace bastante sorprendente verte aca, pues... tan acostumbrada ya al espiritu comunitario de este sitio Como desde hace mucho que no entro aqui a poner algo... es como nuevo para mi tambien Tienes razon cuando dices que disfruto mucho haciendolo porque es muy cierto... y la expresion que muestra el Alien tambien es una de "reivindicacion"... de volver de nuevo a su lugar despues de haber estado desterrado por tanto tiempo. Sus silenciosos rugidos haciendo ecos en mi mente... es bueno estar de vuelta aqui... dibujando de nuevo Pronto espero escribir algo que me vuelva a esta vida

Muchisimas gracias de nuevo por el buen comentario y por apreciar tanto el dibujo

Thanks for the good comment, Crawler! And yes! O_O I LIVE! O_o Despite the lack of pulse and heartbeat....

Heh heh, no, I kid Yeah, i'm pretty much alive... still.... ticking and kicking as always I'm glad that you liked this picture and the way that it presents the creature... I tried to make it like a portrait indeed, given that every Alien from all of the movies has subtle (though sometimes HUGE) differences in the way they are designed and in their anatomy... especially in the cranial/head/face region... so here I try and capture as much of their uniqueness as I possibly can

Thanketh thee for thine good kudos and praise!

Thank you very much for the comment on this picture, Miss Blue I'm glad that you found the sexiness pouring out of this picture because it sure makes me raunchy as hell Heh heh, but you and I both know that Aliens are the sexiest creatures on the face of the universe, so there really isn't much else that we can say about them that already hasn't been said, eh?

Meow meow, thanks again for the gracious praise, mein sexiness and depravation queen

Why thank you very very very much for the favorite and the comment And yes... I couldn't possibly iterate more on the fact that the cocksure plastified face Predator (let's call them Yautja for the fans' sake) and the girl scout cookie selling lady should've just been... Hmmm... I dare not go into TOO much detail of how they should've been eviscerated.... because the message would then be far too long O_o

Still, I have to thank you a lot for the comment and the fave Much obliged!
