Description -----full view please-----

characters- Guy Salvatore, and Good God
from- my comic, "The God Machine."
media- photoshop


"Conceal your deepest worries
Confine your thoughts inside
The walls you built of damaged pride
The light in your eyes failing
Like you're adrift
Like night pretending to be day
These storms subside.

Though the past, the unwanted memories, are holding onto you,
All the power in the universe conspires to carry you,
Truths you find through your adversities will defend you,
As your powers and all your energies conspire to carry you.."

lyrics (c) VNV Nation.


It was a bitch to name this picture... but i found a song title that seems to fit well. (good song btw) Besides i started listening to a VNV Nation song when i started to do this picture anyways.. least i think it was.

Needed to do a nice formal image for a change. Another strange color palate. I don't know how i feel about it's end result, but it's acceptable. I think i liked the drawing better than the outcome.. oh wells.

Might actually be a scene from my comic... but i'm not telling. ^_~

Her dress looks like sea foam ... it's wonderful. I think I'll forever be in awe of your loopy, scribbly borders, too.

Lovely, as always. ...can you tell I've been going through your gallery and realizing all the wonderful things I haven't commented on yet?

well currently i'm posting a rough version of my pages online-

which can be viewed at - ~TheGodMachineComic , spookychan.com , or my comic space account . (FAQ can be found at my site which has a quick run down of the premise- [link] )

I'm currently up to showing book #2 (which was done back in 05.) -I do have potential publishers for my book, and i'm hoping to make it into a trade instead of a single issue comic now. But i'll find out if that will work out when i get a deal. (hopefully i'll get a publishing deal.) Til than, i offer up rough pages as a "taste" and trial run for people to actually read it.

whew...not been online in a while (on DA especially)
....anyway....I'm really digging this pic, I like that the faces are not defined but the poses suggest ALOT of movement, which to me is more appealing cause when things move fast the faces would destort...
it sets up in my mind about what came before the image and whats going to happen after it...like a snapshot of something fast
the colors kind of irritate me...not alot, just makes me feel of balance...like things are decaying around them
overall I think my favorite part is the black outline of the back of Guy's head...I don't know why

Enchanting! I love the odd romanticism of the flirtation of death. Very surreal.

I love the softness of this picture
Really adds to the mood.

And I absolutely adore that shade of yellow and the framing

Just beautiful.

avokaddoh [2007-06-22 14:32:13 +0000 UTC]

yeah, yellow is a tad strange color two have mixed up with the others, but it doesn't take the focus away from the pic so...well done as always =]

I enjoy the fact that the lace of her dress ends up framing a good bit of the picture.

Simply beautiful. Especially your use of yellow. I don't usually like the colour...but I have lately for some reason. Her dress looks like a crashing black wave. Ooooh god, I love your style.

SpookyChan In reply to Raggatron [2007-06-20 14:05:30 +0000 UTC]

how is the new photoshop? (CS3 right?) I'm still stuck on planet PS7.

It's all about varying your brush opacity and flow (and size). That, and using your "real media" brushes in sparse ways. Least to me that's what it's about, that and applying what you know about painting in real life to the digital canvas. I think. ;

-anyways, thank you.

Raggatron In reply to SpookyChan [2007-06-20 14:19:41 +0000 UTC]

yeah cs3...I never had any other version....so i dont know how to compare...I really think this program can make the difference i need to break into a job doing what I love...much like you have....i always considered you to have a similar style as I do...And we both love the venture brothers....another plus! my gallery might no show the similarities but from the work I have not posted, there are some elements that wer share......Always looking forward to you newest...( its like a free lesson!)

have a great day!

See --- I knew you could do it. I've always loved the way that you're composition and colors work so well together to convey this emotion provoking mood.

This particular one tugs at the heart strings.

Excellent job, luv.
