Description "When you wished upon a star
The Cherubs came from a far
They took away all your dreams and then
Injected nano bots inside your head"

The Cherubs are freaky little creatures made from kids' broken toys, sharp things their parents warned them about, a few of their older brother's things and nightmares. The doll head contains two red LED lights and is often mistaken for housing the mind of the creature, which is actually located in the center thorax. It is called a "Cherub" because of its appearance of feathered wings and broken spectacles that resembles a halo. The speakers give off random clicks and/or beeps warning its prey that their end is near!

This is my piece for the 9 contest held by deviantART! I am totally looking forward to this film! This year, it has been animation that has amazed me most in the theatres! I have no doubt this movie shall amaze and inspire me too!

Items on the Cherub:
Baby Doll Head, Red LEDs, rusted exacto blades, hypodermic needle with nano bots, push pins, yo-yo, MP3 player, pencils, rope guitar strings, screws nuts and bolts, feathers, fork, knife, speaker, keyboard buttons, glasses, broken plastic champagne glass, plumber's snake, toys, hydraulics, spork, etc....

The Prophet Ezekiel upon seeing the Cherubium in the sky dubbed them Chayyot, meaning living being, as a way to explain his surprise at what he saw. This means that the most surprising thing about them, was that they were alive.

sykoeent In reply to quesadillaap [2009-09-18 17:20:20 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I usually don't do this type of coloring cos it doesn't really match the style I've been currently drawing in... which people have been telling me, "looks very girlie"... I might do more of this style eventually though!

how u color that?

sykoeent In reply to Cardier [2009-09-16 20:24:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The coloring was entirely on Photoshop with multiple layers on top of layers. The lighting was also a separate layer to make it pop more. On top of everything was the white or "lens flare" which was basically just the brush tool with low to medium opacity with me sometimes using a Gaucian Blur filter. The pencilwork is just the normal raw pencils with very little clean up. I think this layer was just set on multiply. I hope this helps!

This is a fabulous work. One detail I really like is the faint image of your icon in the iPod screen. It's different, and very good.
