Description only by sacrificing freedom and going through the trial of torture to harden the heart can he find power...

FULL VIEW PLEASE (just because...because...)

Not quite sure I'm satisfied with this.

One of the weirdest and most realistic dreams I've ever had. The quote isn't talking about this demon in the dream...I don't know what he had to do with it, but he was really clear. So here is a drawing of him...you can tell I got sick of it. It's officially done even though I had to crop the whole image.

I don't know his name or who he is...but he appeared there clearly. The dream itself was very nightmarish.

*sigh* I just...yeah...this took me the longest of all my digital or traditional works ever. Honestly. *sigh*

Hey there Thanks for the incredibly sweet and detailed comment. Sorry I haven't been too active on here for a while, so I just noticed it (my dad has just been diagnosed with cancer). I am deeply touched by the detail in your comment and I feel like you have given me too much credit! I am so glad you like the drawing, and your words have really struck me. I completely forgot about this deviation since I have been lost in other things. Orange/sandy tones are pretty unusual for me, so I don't even know what possessed me to try a detailed face in that hue. Your comment really makes me want to try drawing again.

Your comment about the background deeply flatters me but also shocks me. I remember putting it in trying to make it look cool since I saw backgrounds in a similar fashion, but I thought I failed. All I can say is thank you so much. Also, that is crazy that you were the 666th viewer of that, and I cracked up at the batman emoticon. I also love your signature.

Thank you!!

A couple of the demon guys in my dreams have had a dark blue skin for some reason. Anyway, excellent face. I think you did a really good job.

Yeah, I always thought that was weird too. They also have the ability to shapeshift into many things. I should do research on that. I just haven't yet. I plan to draw some pictures of them though. That should be fun. I have really lucid dreams about stuff like that. If I started to talk about it, I would go on forever though. X3 If you ever want to chat about that and some of your dreams too, that would be fun. I like to try and interpret stuff like that.

That's awesome! I love lucid dreams-especially to do with the demons I dream of. Have you ever had a mutual dream? I think I may have once, or something close to it, but it was more like a mutual nightmare. You should draw pictures of them! Shapeshifters are awesome!

I love hearing about dreams and talking about them, I swear so much of my life is taken up by dreams (even when awake XD). That'd be awesome to chat about them sometime!

The horns, hair, and face are so amazingly well done! If I had any money to spend, I'd seriously buy the print. I might, even as it is. I really love the face! The eyes, nose, cheekbones, jaw, and lips are just...amazing. Especially the lips! This is great, Pronk. Way to go!

Pronkbaggins In reply to kore-karasu [2007-08-10 20:52:02 +0000 UTC]

Aw you're too nice to me thank you so so much! Oh sheesh...I don't expect anyone to buy the print, but thanks! That's a huge complement. The hair! Are you kidding me? The hair is SOOOO messy, it ruins everything! Oh come on, thank you, but the lips look so...I didn't work on them as much. And you can totally see I didn't completely finish this. But thank you!

kore-karasu In reply to Pronkbaggins [2007-08-11 02:57:52 +0000 UTC]

I'm not too nice! This was amazingly well done! I'm going to buy the print as soon as I have the money to spare...which will probably be a while, but still. I like the hair! The way it flows is nice. I think if you had put too much detail in, it would've changed the feeling of the picture. And I like it how it is. The lips are amazing! Don't ever touch those lips again. And you can't really see that you didn't finish it, it just looks...sort of Impressionist with the background. Like, it looks like the background is supposed to just be a colour. It's kind of awesome like that. Sort of the thing I always wished I could do, only it always looked forced when I tried it.

Pronkbaggins In reply to kore-karasu [2007-08-26 00:17:19 +0000 UTC]

The hair is SO bad....it's all..messy. I don't even think it flows!

Hahaha aw thanks the lips still...you can see my progress on them. Really? The background took me so little time, but I've always envied those artists who could make those sort of abstract-like backgrounds and I think I failed, but thank you!

Oh come on I bet you could do it a million times better, it's not hard!

kore-karasu In reply to Pronkbaggins [2007-08-28 08:32:33 +0000 UTC]

The hair is great. Be quiet.

The lips, really, are amazing. I love them! And you did wonderfully on an abstract background.

I can't do this at all. My gift -- if it can be called that -- lies with words, not pictures. I couldn't draw anything close to this for any amount of money. I just can't do what you can, Pronk!

Pronkbaggins In reply to kore-karasu [2007-08-29 18:28:05 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha fiiiiine I'll be quiet..

thank you, I just wish I could make them better. And I wish I could have made the background detailed like in my dream/nightmare.

Well, I don't think I can do either! But thank you and come on I bet you could, it took me a ton of practice, I bet it'd take most people less.

kore-karasu In reply to Pronkbaggins [2007-09-19 05:51:23 +0000 UTC]

I think that they're fine the way they are, whether they represent what you dreamed or not. But still, being closer to the dream might be better in your opinion, so you should go for it!

It would take me SO MUCH MORE. I really cannot draw at ALL, even my stick figures are disfigured. It's frightening. You have a lot more talent, and I think you ought to realize that by now; I've been telling you for years now!

Pronkbaggins In reply to kore-karasu [2007-09-19 17:17:16 +0000 UTC]

Aw thank you

Oh come on, you can too draw. I....you've been too nice to me and now my tablet won't work and I'm practically never going to be able to draw again digitally. *sigh* thank you, I liked it for a bit at first but the more I look at it the more work I see that needs to be done

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kore-karasu In reply to Pronkbaggins [2007-10-11 05:15:56 +0000 UTC]

I cannot draw, and we both know it. You're the one who's amazing at drawing! I think the stuff you draw by hand is prettier than your digital stuff, although that's probably just because you don't have as much practice with digital stuff. Still, I'm sorry your tablet died. D:

Just because more work needs to be done doesn't mean it's a bad piece, just that it can be even better! I look forward to finding the newer version in my inbox.

Yes actually, I had your comment in mind every time I looked at this. I was thinking "I'm done with this" and then I remembered your comment on LJ and I was all "*sigh* I always say I'll finish these and I never do!" and yeah that motivated me to finish it (plus a burst of inspiration from art but..) yesah so thank you! You're too nice
