Description
I put this in People because of the darn rules,but it still looks a portrait enough for me... It represents a shape of a person,dunno how to say it,having no physical strength but LOTS of inner strength though,no body and movement limitation at all,the bones bending a bit over the usual for an ordinary person...The picture is about freedom and motivation,about growth and hatred,about the anger for society and the desire for a rebellion....The butterfly is not the tattoo,it's the person HIMSELF,a butterfly waiting to get out of its box and spread its wings to the world... It's an...anti-world person. (
- Join our club please!) But still,there's inner beauty in black butterflies too...."The objects may be larger than they appear in the mirror." And this explanation is just impossible to understand.

I like the concept, and the way he's sitting. And using a butterfly, not something overrated.

Hah....thanks.
I'm glad you think so...er...fleshy? If that's a compliment,I'm glad too...

VERY fleshy! Bare flesh!
Oh, and by the way I was browsing your comments and I came upon one where you were explaining how you thought this up... about all these stories about love? And there was a part where you mentioned this man was beautiful as he was led by hate for society, therefore all he wanted was a better world.
I totally agreed with you there. I understood it! It's okay! You're not alone! XD
Keep up the amazing work you've been producing.

Haha,bare flesh... Well,I'm glad you get the meaning,I REALLY am glad,not every one gets it even after the explanation...most of the shallow friends of mine just stare at his ass but don't see the meaning...
Thank you very much. Yup. So we're a team,right?

in some ways, it ebings to look villainous and evil, but when i apply the terms i must first be able to define evil in its true form, and its not my place to say what is evil as opposed to bad, for the world is full of deception, and sometimes the darkest looking things shine the brightest.
Nice work. it looks he/ she is about the explode, and brake away from its shell. It has that kind of writhing motion look to it.

..."But THEY wrote about love as in soap operas." Whatever. You know - typing mistakes.
π: 0 β©: 0
Uhm...yes... I agree with your analyse on it... You know how I thought of drawing this picture? I was at some kind of event in a bookshop where me and a few other students had to read some stories we had written... I was one of the first who read my story and then listened to the writings of the others...and except for the story of some guy they were ALL about love (both happy love and brokenheartedness),faith,hope,faith,love,hope,love,love,love.......... and the things written were nothing but sugary lies to me. I mean,I believe in love,for example,but wrote about love as it's depicted in soap operas for example. So I thought:"Damn,why do they depict only this as beautiful?" And I imagined a young man,very skinny and not very attractive,his skin pale,cold and wet,I imagined him hiding in a dark,box-like room,with his greasy hair falling on his shoulders...I imagined him hiding in this room,HIDING FROM the WORLD,the world he hates and wants to change... I felt the desire of a revolution in his heart,I imagined his weakness and unappealing (to most people) looks,his long crooked nose,everything... And I thought:"Why don't I,next time,write a story about the beauty of people like him,the beauty of people led by hate not love - the hate for society. Because,if he hates society,doesn't that mean he dreams of a better,beautiful world?
Thast was my idea... I defined this person as an insect trying to turn into a butterfly and spread its wings to the world... and to me,these ideas he's got make him beautiful,it doesn't matter whether his heart is full of hate or love;it doesn't matter whether the butterfly is black...It's still a butterfly,right?
P.S. Yes. I babble TOO much.

yes. Thier love is so easilly cast aside.
The vision of the black butterfly simply speaks of truth.

Thank you for adding me to your friends list! AND for the compliments too... I'm glad you think so... I mean,I'm a traditional artist,I don't use computer programs to draw or anything... It's just a painting. Thanks tho... You see,welcome to Dev Art,at first when I came here I thought this place was dumb and cold and stinks,but it gets better if you find decent people around here...

Well,I will be glad to see some of your stuff,but you needn't rush for me... Thanks! Hmm,whatever you're studying don't let the classic art spirit leave you...ever! It's a precious gift...Photography lets you be an observer,but traditional art can make you a creator...
π: 0 β©: 1
wow thanks
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah,that's what I'm talking about! I'd love to see some old-fashioned traditional sheet-of-paper/canvas art... Because you put much more soul in it that photos or digitally drawn stuff... I'd love to see some drawings/paintings in case you post some traditional things...

This is a very good piece of art - well done. I like the skin tones and the way you have done his trousers. This also has great volume in the whole of his body. Well done.

This is an awesome drawing, but it remind me of Ziggy Pop. I like it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you...it reminds you of Ziggy Pop? Erm...nevermind...

I love it... It seems like, to me, that you've improved a bit... I love the shading, the way the body is posed, and the whole piece overall... There is beauty in black butterflies, and there is beauty is other things but it's just really a person's point of view...

Thanks....well,I dunno,I just put more effort in this one... Now I know that close-up pen & watercolour paintings are the things that look the best when I do them.
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree with you about how your watercolour& pen pieces look awesome when you do them... Quite a nice amount of effort at that too...
