Description Sketched this over the last few days, and decided to CG it. Then I decided I could use a new DevID, so here it is. Sorry that it looks like crap, combination of a shitty scanner and shitty art skills. Credits for the background go to , the background is one of his photos, I just blurred it alot and made it greyscale, which probably wasn't a good idea since most of the sketch is grey, but it was the easiest way to keep the two from clashing too much.

-Edit-
Softened the eyes a bit, and re-did the borders.

That reminds me of the vocalist in Ministry

Really? Yeah, Al is an awesome guy. I was lucky enough to see Ministry last year when they were on the Evil Doer Tour. Got to see Thrill Kill and Hanzel Und Gretyl too, since they were there. I got to meet HuG. Ministry is one of THE most hardcore bands I've ever seen live.

Your lucky, i really wnat to see them live... I have a live DVD though, and its very good. One of my best friends met Al a couple of years ago, he was drinking red wine with heroine. He is a bastard.

Heh, yeah I only got to meet HuG, which was pretty awesome. Loopy was pretty drunk. I probably could have met Al if I asked though, I should have.

Cool piece.. goes well with the background and the coloured sections even border your ID in a way, or maybe it's only me who sees that

Yeah, I typically put a black border around alot of my art. Simple, and makes it look nicer. And thank you!

twisted-method In reply to yumechan [2004-06-14 00:27:02 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much mon ange ^_^. Yes, as you can see, I fixed the eyes, I agree they were a bit too much, but I rushed it at first, so I just went back and softened them up. I guess they could be tights, but since thigh-highs would be easier to find, and that's what I'd likely be wearing, I would say that they are thigh-highs , Yes, the pose just sort of came out that way, I had a little trouble deciding what to do with the arms. At first I didn't want him to have a cane, but I decided that that was the only way to have his arm out like that, not to mention it sort of balanced the whole pose. Oh, and... -looks both ways cautiously- ... I WANT YOU TOO!!!!

Well if you have been, I probably missed it, I haven't been on the internet in like, three weeks. Well anyway, if you do draw some more let me know, I'd like to check out some more of your work.

Yeah, actually I've been pretty uninspired, can't draw. But once I get some more art done, I'll note you if you like.

Cool thanks, you're exceptional ya know, so yeah, keep me posted. By the way, did you ever get some black and green striped socks? I saw this chick in England wearing them and it reminded me of you.

Oh... hmmm... Hey, you ever look in a Hot Topic? They might have some. Well anyway, your pic is still stuck in my head, it's one of those images that will never leave, which is usually bad, but in this case it's good. Very good. I'm serious. You got that style. You draw like spectral-lookin' things. I've tried drawing stuff like that, I can do it, but it looks like I forced myself to, so I decided to stick to drawing anthros and animals and other crazy stuff. I tried to draw like Stephen Gammell, you seen his stuff? I love his art, how it looks creepy and beatiful at the same time, but I can't seem to draw like that. Maybe I'm using the wrong materials, I don't know. Well, I should shut up, I'm typing way too much.

twisted-method In reply to Tikicat [2004-07-22 15:24:25 +0000 UTC]

I've tried Hot Topic, but to no avail. I fear I may have to order them from the UK , but thats a last resort. Once I get those, and order a certain shirt, I shall pretty much have that outfit in the picture. I'll definitely take some pics.
And thank you for the comments on my art! It is very much appreciated. I'm glad to see that at least someone really enjoys it. I try. As far as that picture, I got kinda lucky, I've tried drawing about 3 or 4 things since then and they came out crap. All the same character too, I can't seem to draw him well again. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get it sometime. As far as the materials it took, nothing special, just pencil, and then I colored it in Paintshop Pro and threw in a background, pretty simple stuff, I'm a beginner with all of that anyway.

Tikicat In reply to twisted-method [2004-07-24 22:54:52 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... Paintshop Pro you say? I'll have to check it out. In the meantime... Have you seen the movie I, Robot? Spider-man 2? They're both good movies. ALso, a fact. The higher percentage of viewers for I, Robot were female. Which is self-explanatory...either they're nerds like me, or they went for Will Smith. I went for both... Well, I'm out of talk now. I read your journal. It angers me. I hope you get your things sorted out. I also hope when you go off to college or whatever that you remember me, it's good to know that I made some kind of impression. Reply please.

twisted-method In reply to Tikicat [2004-07-25 02:09:00 +0000 UTC]

I didn't see Spiderman 2 in the theaters, but I got it on VCD. I also played the game recently, and I loved it, the only superhero game that I've played that was actually good. I, Robot I haven't seen yet, but I'm a fan of Asimov so hopefully they didn't butcher his story too badly, but then again, it IS Hollywood. They did the same to Anne Rice's Wonderful book in Queen of the Damned. As for my journal entry, all of that is sorted out now and things are much better, parents have lightened up alot. I think I might have some more art on the way soon.

Tikicat In reply to twisted-method [2004-07-25 03:43:50 +0000 UTC]

Yay, more art. Can't wait. Sorry if I sound unexcited. I've never read any Asimov, so I don't know. Well...just go see it. I liked it. You will too. It is good that you have stuff sorted out. I hope it stays sorted. Where was I, oh yes, it is a good movie...really touching in some parts, really action-packed in others. Will your art be that character again? Or something else? Will it be a photo maybe? Well, please reply.

Cool. I am watching you. I just now figured out how to 'watch' people, so I'm feeling really happy. But I have band camp all next week, so my happiness is not to last. I will show my friends your pics. They're like me, so they'll love your stuff too. I do some pretty good stuff myself, but I have no scanner, so I won't be submitting anything for awhile. Well, that's about it for me. Please reply.

Well, you can always take a picture of your art if you have a digital camera.

Nope, no digital camera. My friend has one thought. Hmmm...maybe I can convince him to let me borrow it. Hay, have you ever watched 'Dead Like Me'? It's a great show. Real funny. You should check it out.

I think it's on Showtime. I've never actually seen it on tv. I rented the dvds of the episodes. I wanted to buy the season one box set, but it's like 43 bucks.
