Artist's Comments

Really just an over-glorified doodle. I started it at a friends house, didn't have my Prismacolors, so I did it in pencil, finished it at home. As it is not in colour, I decided aginst trying to do something really complicted for the background. I think I might have gone a little too simple, heh. Just a picture of me (In really strange clothes) in a cave of some sort, checking over my shoulder 'cause I thought I heard something. Just something I wanted finish before I got to prizes. For a pencil work, I rather like it. Done in B, HB, 6B, and 9B. Just for fun <^^>

Ah! The boy is skilled with normal pencils as well! Who knew? :D

Very cool. It really exhibits your talent for raw texture and shading. Though, I doubt I would have recognized the character if you hadn't said who it was in the description.

I like the cave idea. You went with the flow instead of fighting it, and came out with something good. I actually kinda like the simplicity of it, too, where a lot of it is just black. It's not overly panoramic, but it certainly is spooky! And DANG, you draw digitigrade feet better every time I look!

I have one bug, though. The stalactites and stalagmites... They're so perfectly conical! Yes, that's the basic shape that the 'ites should be, and you did an excellent job with their textures, but I can't help but think that they would look much more natural with more bumps and curves, or even some double-tips and such. I have been inside of many caves, and have seen thousands of various 'ites in person, and I don't remember any, let alone all of them being so perfect! But, hell, I guess that just the way that cave formations look in Willyworld.

I know how you like pointy things! :giggle:

Ooooo, a pencil shaded piece eh? A very nice piece, hehe, has a defiant eary feel to it, quite spooky to it really, hehe. One thing though that I think should be pointed out that might help you is lighting. Generally I feel the lighting is comming from us, the viewer, shining right at the figure from the front, yet he's holding a lamp behind him as his only sorce of light. Because of this I personally would have made the right hand side of the image much darker, due to the amount of shadow that would be cast, and therefore making the image much more dynamic. Other than that this is still a really strong image, hehe. You proportions are really comming along, and it's great to see you trying something different and experimenting a little. Good job! ^.^ *pats*

As it gets darker the sells in you're retina that register color (either rods or cones, I can't remember which) shut down. That's why you can't see color at night. Cool.

Dear Rest of the world. I was too young to vote when Bush was elected. Of course he was not really elected by a majority of Americans in the first place.

Looks awesome! Yay for pencil shading, although even with a 9B that bakcground black must have sucked. My hand would have fallen off of I tried that :XD: Anyways, it's grat to see soemthing a bit different from you in terms of media, great job with the shading and everything. And another thing, holy crap! I love those feet!!!!!!! :heart:

-headdesk- I knew those things looked stupid for some reason. If I'd had the energy to actually take three seconds and picture something like that I'd have fixed them, despite the fact that I've never been in a cave or any such thing myself. Fortunately, that's the good thing about doodles like this- it doesn't matter if you screw up a small detail (or a major one).
Well, I know now for next time. :D
Thanks a lot <^^>


...what makes you think I like pointy things so much?
