Description This is something I ended up doing on my little 'break' from commissions and junk.

It started out as just a random sketch, trying a new style since I can't even make up my mind on HOW to draw, and I REALLY like how it turned out.

It's nothing super fancy, but it's different. After I sketched it all out and was inking it, my cousin started throwing some ideas at me here and there. Originally, there was not supposed to be any yellow, and I won't get into my original plan because it's irrelevant now.

ANYWAY, here it is. Hope you like, it's one of my new favs.

Haha, what a crazy imagination you have. Though I don't know the first thing about digital art I love the concept and the way you have executed it.
Just out of interest, is all your work from your own head? because you have amazing talent.

You know, someone has told me before that my imagination is a little 'out there' but I don't get it, because most of what I do, is REALLY simple and not really crazy. I haven't even started to get out all the crazy images from my head yet. I'm still a new artist, sort of.

But yes, everything is out of my head, unless states otherwise. This one started out as just a random sketch because I wanted to try a new body-style and whatnot, and my cousin came over one night and I was like 'I really wanna work on this.' And she sat and watched me, lol. And it just started forming. Most of my stuff is on accident.

But thank you very much!

Don't take the crazy thing as a negative, it's a quality that works for you.
I have to disagree on your work being simple, this piece alone though subtle, speaks volumes. You've taken a well known phrase and turned it into a visual representation with great effect.
Imagination is not something we are all blessed with and art does not have to be brimming with detail to say something to the viewer.
To say your work is by accident underestimates your ability now and what it will develop into.

I know it's not a negative quality. Lol. But sometimes I just wish I could get out everything in my head, because I know I can do better. I'm never satisfied with myself or the work I put out.

And yes, I often underestimate my abilities, but I think I'm just super humble. I don't know. Lol.

awesome, but I'd find any of your artwork good really since it's the opposite of what I do, so it's exactly what I can't do, but I find this one better because it actually has more meaning behind rather than it's just art, which as I've learned generally makes better products somehow

WhitneyCook In reply to AcidicTaco [2011-06-24 17:59:12 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thank you. And you're right, but I would be lying if I said I never drew something that had no meaning to it, lol. You just make what you make sometimes.
Hopefully I can squeeze out some more. :3
