Description Another drawing I made on a concept I've used a few years ago. The dark.
All though this one is quite scary and gruesome.

The darkness isn't something mean or bad, it's this emptiness, this fear, inside all of us. It sometimes feels like it's taking over.



Time taken: about 3 hours
Shadow is done with Chinese ink, Raeven is done with pencil and watercolors.

Character and art © me




These are my (very old) drawings of the darkness. It's based on a song by a dutch singer. The dark - Anouk. It's awesome, look it up.


oh how horrible these look

I think Raeven needs to see a priest, her shadow's been possessed by a demon

Seriously though, looking at these three pics, you can really see how much you've changed and progressed artistically over the years. Good job!

I hope that helps. There's demons in everyone.

Thank you. There's really been some change. (: luckily.

There are, but you can usually shut the buggers up with chocolate XP

You're welcome! I'd be worried if there wasn't any change at all

Hey, I may like someone, but I'll still point out room for improvement in their art. I'll just try to be friendlier about it And I would hope they'd do the same for me, with or without the friendly part XP

Hahah, true true.
It's very important for me, or anyone, to hear how to improve in my art. Specially when it comes to anatomy.

And I think that's a great attitude to take So I'll gladly offer my input. Sometimes without you asking first XP

Oh wow. And I thought it couldn't get any better! I like the contrast between the paint and the ink, it's REALLY black. I like this one a lot. Awesome job honey

I don't think any of your work looks horrible. Its shows a progression of your skill. I enjoy all three of these pictures. You must have spent alot of time on each of these, and it shows with your final product. I like the message as well. Its true the darkness is a part of everyones lives. Perhaps another more resistant/resilient picture for the future maybe? I'd love to see another .

Ahw thank you! It is indeed a progress. It's just always horrible to look back on old artworks. I hope to make another one in a year or so. (: Glad you like this one!

I look forward to seeing it. I forgot to mention I like the mixture of the ink in the picture. It adds another dimension to it.
