It has been long since we last spoke friend. I still have those coins and clippings if you are still interested.

I love this. I feel bad for the guy and I only wonder what got him trapped in there in the first place. A song that I get inspired to do my work is NIN's Deep and Happiness In Slavery.

yes it has really, they are still a nice idea, its just I am teaching in Thailand at the moment, my address is well semi-permanent and I'm pretty busy. I may do something but it will take a while as I have only one day off a week and not as much internet access as I would like.

heheh cheers, yes this one is semi-metaphorical, toxic pit X: I cannot stop listening to NIN heheh...yes deep also, particularly the dirty remix of it XD...Happiness in slavery is alright, I like the video...hee hee...

Was listening to Glen Miller "Moonlight Serenade" when I stumbled across this piece, and it fit very well. Also, I really like the style in this piece, good job, you made me feel

Glad that you like it, I'm just curious...what kind of feeling does this picture evoke for you? o:

I have always had this idea of drowning in ink, both when I write and when I draw which is usually with dip pens. This image makes me think of how I sink into it with good and bad consequence. Plus ink is kind of romantic to me, can be beautiful or expose ugliness. Anyway, that's my interpretation

Frenemie In reply to GraphicsLizard [2013-05-27 11:48:43 +0000 UTC]

oh my, drowning in ink sounds somehow a romantic way to look at it, very metaphorical indeed and I agree that there is really beauty in ugliness, a special kind of beauty X:

Very cool, whays the black goo supposed to be. Im not usually a fan of digital but your work is awesome

Frenemie In reply to bitterpill2 [2013-05-17 03:41:29 +0000 UTC]

thanks man, the lineart is traditional, just the colouring is digital. This picture is more metaphorical, but the character Gunther has a black stained face etc as its part of his sickness...i guess the goo would be to represent his sickness overwhelming him. There is a profile for this character elsewhere in my gallery .

Awesome, the minimalism of color strikes me as well. When I recuperate from this last semester of 3 studio art classes ill be working on some propaganda pieces and some macabre stuff too with a limited color palette.

Frenemie In reply to bitterpill2 [2013-05-27 11:50:19 +0000 UTC]

do you prefer to use less colours in general? I think it really brings out the picture more using less, reduces the busyness of the picture really.

bitterpill2 In reply to Frenemie [2013-05-27 13:35:49 +0000 UTC]

Colors are great to use but when they take away from the original image they do muddy up the picture

Oooh that looks great! ;w ;
it's been a while since I've seen your art. Maybe I've been blind and haven't noticed you uploading pictures..|D
Anyway, I really love your drawing style! And you can draw expressions so well too! ;w;

..Gah, I want to hug Gunther. >w<;;

heheh don't worry you haven't, I've just been super busy for the last few months so no time to finish and upload some, and being without a drawing tablet didn't help x:

Thank you, perhaps you can save Gunther from drowning in his own sickness D:
