Description Part 3 of my emotional self portrait series, or it is actually part 4 but I choose to hide number three in the depths of my files.

Admittedly I love painting squishy shiny things, it makes me want to poke it so badly.

Anyways, thanks for looking for those who do and I hope you all enjoy!

I should not have seen this late in the evening. Nightmares can be horrible tonight. Great work.

EUGH so awesome, wish I could convey such textures as well as you.. Nice work It doesn't look like anything specific, so the title does make it very creepy. Could make it worse though lol like "watching you" or "through the letterbox" or something

Eyes do have a very creepy quality, especially on bugs. I swear it's not the legs, or the wings, or pincers, it's those damn eyes that make me scream like a little girl.

Yeah in creepy stories its the "being watched closely when you don't realise" factor that gets me the best. You watch `Blepharopsis ? He does some amazing close up shots of insects, the shots he has of the patterns in their eyes and wings look like some abstract/fractal art.

But yeah, awesome drawing You convey the gooey, nasty squish very well and I am jelly I like coming up with titles that try to add to my pieces because the art might fall a little short or it adds another layer to think about, so I ended up thinking of words that would play off the creepy factor of your drawing xD; "it blinked", "Spy Your Letterbox" and "Peeping Tom" came to mind

I do watch him actually, and he does some amazing stuff. As for the title, "Eyes" will do it for me. Just enough to hint at what it is but still ambiguous. Your titles give away a whole lot more than what it really is.

I always go overboard with titles

If you did then I would have to poke you.

This is disgusting. Incredibly well painted. Love the subtle texture, the dirtyness of it.

Thank you! Gotta say I love your reaction to it, that's how I hope the majority will usually react to it.

Rabinna In reply to LindseyWArt [2011-11-08 14:29:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, I imagine an "ewww, gross!" reaction is kinda shallow, but hey, it is what it is. I like how organic you make these with so little color, in any case.

LindseyWArt In reply to Rabinna [2011-11-08 18:03:56 +0000 UTC]

What I usually here is "that's disgusting, in a beautiful way" in some form or another, now if someone said it like that I would be like instead of like

Ha ha.

It looks like nipples hahaha
Actually that squishy way of drawing is one of your characteristics I like most on illustration!

Interesting! The same kind of feelings I got from the knee one are what I get here, kind of obscure and deeply personal. But I could be wrong.

It also reminds me of a fish or a frog. Still, I do like this. Is the series for class or for fun? c:

LindseyWArt In reply to SanguineEpitaph [2011-11-08 01:44:13 +0000 UTC]

It's for class, but the class is so open that I can just say I am doing it for fun too.

That sounds like an awesome class!

It is! It's a lot of work where I have to finish a painting every two weeks, but the feedback and community are pretty nice.
