Description Explanation... Well, for those who don't read the newspaper, I'm moving to New Zealand in a week. And yeah, there's nothing left in my house, just an 'OK' laptop and a 56k connection that can't even load google properly.
And yeah, it's been really lonely these last few weeks, every1 else is away on holiday, and I'm stuck here until the 15th.
So what else is there to do other than create a new deviation?

Oh by the way, both my scanner and my sketch book is being shipped to NZ so I didn't have any proper paper to sketch on in advance. But since I am a strong believer that this type of art really requires a sketch to work from, I did a quick doodle on the back of a scrunched up little piece of paper.
(I took a picture of it with my camera) Here you go: [link]

5 and a half hours later, at around 40 layers in total, Nothing to Lose was born.

What a fitting title for this piece...lots of conveyed lonliness...almost a bitter resignation to one's fate.

I like the style, again, very simple yet effective.

This made me laugh! Soemthing that might make it cuter though would be to have a price somewhere on there But I like it as is too

yeah i was pondering the idea a while when i was making it.
it kind of changes the meaning i wanted to show through it though. It would show that what he has to offer may be too expensive and costly to others. And i didn't want to get at that.
Wanted to show a person with something to offer, but no-one to offer it to.

but thanks for the suggestion all the same

Ah ok! That's a pretty nifty explanation Certainly makes me think of it in a different light. Cool beans

I like this one! Definitely conveys a message of loneliness and that old saying, "What do you have to lose?" Good job!

Aww Greg, this one is so cute. I'm sorry that you're so lonely, I wish I could be there to keep you company I know you'll enjoy New Zealand though, so don't stress too much. And I also know that you'll keep in touch, either via DA, or email. You're an amazing person and I'm gonna miss you like crazy! Take care.

yeah you should've seen how the sea looked like first before i decided to completely change it. it looked so tacky and made everything look 2D.
This style is much better IMO.

I like this one alot. You really picked lovely colors to work with, and you do it in such a brilliant and simplistic way. Beautiful.

As for crits, perhaps the water would have looked better if the horizon line was a bit rippled?

GR3G0R In reply to Damster [2005-08-08 13:16:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks and yeah about the water, however i doubt i will change that (or anything, for that matter) because, well, I just don't like looking back and working on my 'old' stuff.
But i still do appreciate critique because it helps me make the next deviation better
