Description AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

Right now, in my sleep deprived state, I think this is one of the prettiest things I've ever drawn. Which is terrible, (note the title) because its contents will never happen. I must be in some weird unrequited-love binge.

Saw the pose in some random 4chan image on /y/. Couldn't get it out of my head, so I drew it later. I think it was FMA?

Bah.

Ouch... it hits home...
Anyway, to me, it looks like she's thinking: "OMG, this is SO wrong.."... that's what it feels like to me...
And, yes, it it horrible... But that's life....

I don't get your signature, but I really enjoy the poses.
It's a bit simple, neutrally. I don't know if that was the concept.

It seems like he is hugging her because she was having a nightmare about her 3 month premature birth of their son.. which inexplicably caused the childs death. How tragic!

it's beautiful, but I am not sure about the pose. The girl looks not just sad, but scared... And the guy, well he seems to be in the position of power. On some level, I find this image disturbing... however, it is still very beautiful, nicely done!

This picture conjured a lot of conflicting emotions. I really dig hearing how different people are effected by it! Thank you for sharing that with me.

Lemee Guess....

She just spent all day baking cakes, 40 to be precise (which is as many as 4 tens), when out of the blue, a strange bald criminal stole them. And that's terrible.

I really like this

The colouring scheme are pretty cool - I like the golden murkiness of the piece, if that makes sense

Man, unrequited love sucks big green donkey balls. If the two are close, one ends up rejected and down, because they can't help how they feel, and the other ends up guilty and awkward because they can't help how they don't feel. It's the big suck. Seriously.

I am way too sleep deprived to be ranting right now.

Either that, or the eyecatch from Freakazoid is how I mentally illustrate jumping topics.

It amazes me as an artist, that when you are sleep deprived, how much the mind works. Thinking of new creations, new visions, and you draw it out, and you come out with something amazing!

Mm, I like it, but I think it would have turned out nicer if you had mixed colors instead of using pure black.

tabbykat In reply to TsubasaFullmoon [2007-08-22 17:35:06 +0000 UTC]

It probably would have. But using different colors for lineart isn't second nature to me yet. I'm working on it!

Mm.. looking at this on a different screen.. it looks aweful purple and murky.

Does it look more of a gold/yellow brown to you or a red/purple brown? Curious.

TsubasaFullmoon In reply to tabbykat [2007-08-23 02:53:13 +0000 UTC]

I meant the shading or gradients. Looking at it again, it is kind of purpley, though. Maybe it's my bad eyes (my eyes don't differentiate color as well as normal people's do). Maybe wanna pick up some calibration soft since it looks different on multiple screens for you? You can get a reasonable one for around 30-50 USD, I think.

Also, maybe mixing colors for the light would have had a good effect, IMO. Maybe something kind of yellow or orangey?
