Description 'I do not try to hide myself from the shadow of my reflection.'
~ Amanda Penner


started out as a dumb technical drawing to show my friend how I did people, decided to do a background.

What an interesting concept! I like how the floor opens up at his feet. The ghostly shadows and creature are haunting (but in a good way).

Absolutely stunning... I'm very pleased to have found this picture-- a friend of mine showed it to me cos it happened to remind her of me, heh-- but surely, this picture deserves more notice than it's received!
So much I could say about this... artistically and metaphorically.. however, it's late, and... I don't feel like using my brain at the moment, ahahaha! But lovely work.

Yeah. Legs. Hehe, yes, doesn't he have shapely calves! XD I can practically hear him screaming at me. lol.

Thanks a lot, the background is what took the most time in this picture, Maybe two or three hours to get it all shaded Yeah, it does seem kinda random... maybe I should make some of the symbols a little more linear. XD

Thanks, it would have looked better if my dumb scanner picked up the lines better... there are whole bunch of little deets it didn't pic up on... first time my scanner has totally killed the little ones...

I love the dramatic background! You should do a whole art book with pictures of hidden meaning. This art is perfect for it. Beautiful. Just stunning.

Who do you think all the people in the pictures are? Random?

But thanks; and I was a little suprised at the profoundity of that statement too.

Wow, that's amazing. I love the symbolism here, with the abyss and everything.

The guy hiding in the background there. Midian, or someone I have not met?

That's freakin' sweet. I love the... what's the word... uhhh... abstract or otherwordly style this has. I totally can't recall what that genre of art is called, but you've got that style, and I totally dig it.

It's called a series of random lines and squigglies. My scanner killed this. And I will never for the life of me know why his eyebrows are purple.

Something about that background is totally amazing and I love it to death.
Even the added shading has made it even better then when you showed it to be before. The faces as I said captivate me and the mouth looks totally amazing.

The concept is a creative one and I like the way you portrayed it SOOO much.

Definate fav.

Apparently Lea has a darker side too. >>;;; and we thought he was too softcore to even make the shortlist for 'bad guy'.

Hehehe, well of course he does.
The man DOES hang around with Midian.

True. May I include that 'bad guy' includes Kim Possible's Dr. Drakken.

It looked better when it was lined out, and I got bored with it about halfway through, so, hard to say. Thank you though.
