Description
I Love You but I Want To Be AloneTwo separate pieces I decide to submit together because they look and feel so much alike, like they belong. This wasn't intentional, but one has to act when magic happens this way.
Watercolour + ink on bristol vellum. 2011.

Oh right, I'm glad you commented about this. I was wondering if the dude was schizophrenic or if it was two people out in space...with an odd dilemma on their hands...

Putting them together actually reminds me of someone I know who seems to be this way. Afraid of intimacy, maybe, but wanting love. I don't know, but like I said, it wasn't intentional until I saw both of them. Hmmm..
Thanks!

You have a talent for conveying a multitude of messages without having to draw facial expressions.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Body language can be just as powerful as facial expressions. In fact, face expressions can be easier (not drawing wise, but say you're taking a photograph of someone and want them to be sad, it's easy to frown than to LOOK upset through your body). Lately I've really been wanting to get better at body language

There was this book I wanted to get in the psychology section..."The Complete Idiot's Guide to Body Language"
It might be a wise investment on my part.

Considering how I want to get into comics, I need to change this.

Thankfully I'm meeting with a comic book artist on Tuesday.

A few, actually.
It was fun.

Doing a book together?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah...they're helping me with editing and publishing.
And drawing. I've been thinking about adapting some of my stories into comics.

I will. I've been noticing that some of my series (particularly Fall of The Devils) are very rich visually, and describing the complicated outfits and settings is impractical and clunky.
To give you an idea of what the world looks like, it's kind of like a combination between Cybergoth and Victorian.
In fact, if I had to compact it down to it's absolute basic, it would have to be "The Ultra-Modern Dark Victorian Era".
In that world we've got the technology to send out planetary arks, which also serve as readily habitable and fully functional cities tasked with defense and terraforming capabilities, gravity manipulation...not to mention the fact that "Body Modification" takes a whole new meaning in that series.

Body modification, how!? That piqued my interest.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's not a topic that's covered extensively in the book, but the usual stuff...as well as back-alley doctors who'll basically turn you into a super-charged weapon with various therapies, for a charge of a few thousand.
One of the characters has already gotten quite a few treatments herself. She looks relatively normal, but the screwing with her hormones gave her what you'd call a ridiculously huge bust.
Another character got a prehensile tail, the usual ear piercings and had all of her teeth replaced with gold fangs.

Hmm.. Have you read "Black Hole" by Charles Burns?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You might dig it, from what you're saying, I think it's something to look into and well worth the time.

I'll check it out from the library sometime.

I love your art, but I hate you 'cos of your skills, haha!
Awesome work, man!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel the same way about certain artists, so I'm a bit honoured that you are feeling this now, hehe 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm one of them, right?
Of chourse not!
Can I know who are they? If only they do traditional works... I'm really interested
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, nah.
And they're not on deviantart or are an artist by any means.. just someone I know and really like.
