Description From April this year. Didn't post it earlier because it was supposed to be part of a KYOA for an old Romeo & Juliet fanart from 2007 [link]
but I gave up on the rest.
Thought it looked pretty cool on its own though.

IIRC, lighting reference from

its so freaky because when you see the small image of this deviation in you gallery the eye looks like he's looking out, but then when you cick to see the full size image here the eye is looking at you!

Oh, my goodness, so beautiful. I love love love interpretations of any Shakespeare, but for some reason, R&J has a soft spot in my heart. It's too bad that you gave up on the KYOA, because I can see how a full redraw of the original picture would be amazing. You've improved so much and so beautifully.

Wonderful colouring. I love his pose- you've really captured Romeo's day-dreaming side, but also the emotion and dark undertones of the play. The blue eye really draws you in. I could look at this image forever.

Romeo and Julliet I think is my least favorite shakespeare poem. .___. I'm more of a Twelfth Night an fan. Though in R&J, I really enjoyed everyone else. Like Mercutio. I really loved him. 8DD

Anyway. I don't think I need to say anything about the work itself because you know.. I'll end up having a stroke.

hankleshanks In reply to SebastienKM [2011-07-02 04:21:50 +0000 UTC]

I don't really feel either way about R&J, but as far as favorites go, Much Ado has got to be mine. (: I haven't read Twelfth Night but its various adaptations have been entertaining. And yeah, Mercutio was great! It's a pity he didn't get to stick around longer.

SebastienKM In reply to hankleshanks [2011-07-10 00:45:30 +0000 UTC]

Much Ado. Now that I haven't read. .___. I've tried not reading shakespeare cause I get really intense and well.. GAY for it. .___. Like Peter Griffin for that bird song in that episode where he met Jesus. XD

It's a romantic comedy between two snarky people who have loads of belligerent sexual tension between them! And also there's an A plot about cuckoldry drama, but even the summary on the back of my book was all about the B plot.
If you like his works so much, then by all means! Then you can pester your friends about it over and over, regardless of their level of interest (never stopped me before)
e.g. read A Song of Ice and Fire read A Song of Ice and Fire read A Song of Ice and Fire *U*

I was the complete opposite, the idea worried me a lot. But I think I'm a better person now than I ever was in high school, and I'm really happy about that. (:
Yeah, there still are GE requirements but it's definitely a lot more interesting to be exploring specific topics that interest you. Do you know what area in art you're going to pursue?
I'm a premed bio major but I'm not sure I'm going to stick with it (there are tons of former premed and bio majors here). Going to be in the sciences for sure, though.

But... the scanlators are still catching up ;^; Maybe I'll wait a little while longer.

trollolololol. I'm deathly afraid of the future, no doubt about that. 8D OH HIGHSCHOOL. Cause you know. Art isn't exactly a stable career choice.

I'm glad you are who you are because if you weren't awesome or sexy or amazing (which you are) I wouldn't allow myself to be friends with you. I only take the best of the best.

FNNFNGNgng.

Oh yeah. ._. But for overseas/international students (like me) all we need to do is graduate highschool and have a portfolio. I got this bruh. XD I want to do graphic noveling/illustration. Specifically around the topic of pornography and erotica. I don't really think anything else suits me. However, of course, I wouldn't do just straight up ghastly, tasteless sex. .__. The reason why I even want to do erotica is because of everything else that comes with sex and sensuality.

Relationships, cause and effect, biology, emotion, the philosophy and ethics of it all, taboo, etc. It's a lot more fascinating than just some douche's quick turn on fap material thing. *is a true liberal arts/humanities fantard*

That's super cool though. SCIENNNCEEecece. When I was younger, I wanted to be an astronaught. But then I'm like "FUCK NO am I going to work out constantly to be this super fit beast machine when I could scienceee" ;v; Science is really awesome. The stars and universe are really awesome *that's why I love Doctor Who*. And BIOLOGY. AND. CHEMICAL REACTIONS. AND. Pourqueeeee?? ;D;

I hope you do well with science and tell me what you do and even throw random science at me ;D; I'd be so super happy. ;D; gosh. science....

yuh ikr. I like doing marathons of things but then the last few chapters/episodes/etc come along and I'm like. No. No. NO. I WILL NOT FINISH IT. Because once it's done. It's done.

Art's not really known for job security, but from my very limited perspective it does seem to be heating up a lot. Seems like there's an indie game bubble right now that's in need of artists? I hear it's pretty cutthroat though.


I still can't express myself properly so HAVE SOME EMOTES. SAYS IT ALL

It does sound like a good topic, with plenty of potential for exploration. There's a lot to sexuality, and it still doesn't really get discussed as much thanks to the whole moral stigma surrounding it. And the idea that it's just fap fodder. /thanks liberal arts college

I only wish I was a super fit beast machine D: I could lament my lack of fitness all day but IS THAT THE SOUND OF A WHOVIAN I HEAR. Well helLO there. *U* Not that you weren't awesome before, but now it's OFF THE CHARTS

I will try! UHHH
science? [link]

Archive binging, absolutely. *U*
I'm more a sprint to the end kind of reader. Have to know what happens next as soon as possible! Will skim if necessary. But that just leaves me with a little empty feeling where my anticipation used to be. ):
still, WAITING ಠ益ಠ

yeah! and there were supposed to be epic iris light trails and stuff too but it didn't work out.

Waxeecap In reply to hankleshanks [2011-06-19 19:33:24 +0000 UTC]

lol I meant semi-realism but more toward the realism side XD. Realism from imagination is hard since,for me at least, all the faces start to look the same! Everyone needs to use references though it's just how you use it well I guess some people don't but then their work kinda suffers then.
USE THE EPIC LIGHT TRAILS IN ANOTHER PIC. USE THEMMM.

Anyway, love the hair, as usual. It looks so realistic and floaty, like I could just reach out and touch it. Lighting is dramatic, and the expression on his face matches it. He looks almost...stricken. Blue eyes are gorgeous, and man! Those neck muscles! They look very realistic are looking very anatomically correct, well, to me layman eyes.

I demand more! MORE!
