I very much admire that this was done in traditional utensils, being that I am striving toward such a style myself. I look forward to analyzing your art techniques and perhaps learning something from you.^^

First off, my humblest apologies for the rediculously late comment. I do hope you accept them...

Dear lord--that's freaking incredible. I can't get over how well you protrayed the moonlight, and how realistic the effect is. The detail is awesome, from the grass to the writing on the tombstones. Love the dark, gothic mood of the piece as well--it's definitely a great direction to take the story in. And, of course, I love the use of red. Once again, you've raised the bar. I guess it's time for me to get sketching...

Tom

Excelente composition of bizarreness and darkness. Surreality really takes the main role here. So real, and yet, quimerical.
I LOVE THE MESSAGE ON THE TOMBS!!
GOOD WORK!

Very dark atmosphere in this one, which I like very much in that it exudes palpable menace.

luvtodraw [2006-11-10 19:41:55 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I must say, I quite like the details in this one!
Absolutely amazing!
Every little straw of grass can be seen and the shading stuns me as usual! O_O
It's just gorgeously amazing!
Though, your art is always amazing!
I mean, c'mon, you could draw a stick-figure yet it would turn out so awesome and just make people lose their jaws like this
And OMG I loooove the sky! It looks so real! WOW!

Your art is simply what I would like to call;
~Godlike~

EXTRAORDINARY!! This is just amazing. You and Tom are downright Scary in your talent. I'd love to see this in real life. Could you tell me what size the paper is in inches, please? (I don't know what A3, A4 or 150 g/m means...)
Superb, Devouredex!!!!

devouredex In reply to Ricky-Roo302 [2006-11-16 10:17:24 +0000 UTC]

g/m2 means grams per squared metre. A4 is 11.6" High and 8.2" wide (portrait way) A3 is 16.4" high and 11.6" wide (portrait way) (" = inch)
Thank you very much.
