looks good... however, the lips of the black-haired girl could use some adjustment.... they seem too rounded on the top, and therefore need some indentation to give them a better shape.... also, the right (viewer's left) cheekbone of the blonde vampire should be a tad bit fuller... it seems to be too thin to me...
nice draw, dba!

Mara

Gigge (Jul 19, 2004)

This one is rife with symbolism. I read a description of the Latvian goddess Mara, http://www.angelfire.com/al2/LatvianStuff/Earth26waterdeities.html, and decided to to try to depict her. Some of the symbols like the skeleton representing death are obvious, some like the odd number of flowers signifying good tidings or benevolance are not unless you're familiar with Latvian culture. I've never seen any of the Latvian deities drawn, but this is how I imagined one would look.

Cool pic

Gigge (Aug 9, 2004)

Wow, thanks for the comments! I didn't think it would get any since it's a bit creepy and the subject is very esoteric.

This is so.... I don't know... satirical? Yes, it is, it's satirical, and hilarious. Don't worry, the lady's got a gun in her garter. I'm sure of it. :)

dude in blue looks like jack from will and grace

Zack (edited Oct 1, 2004)

This looks like a still from one of those 'male enhancement' commercials.
Jenny: Goodness, Bill, that's quite a big axe you have there.
Bill: Uh, it sure is, Jenny.
Jenny: You look like you handle it well, though.
Andy: You bet he does, honey. He practices with it every day.
*polite laughter*

emmamommalag (Oct 4, 2004)

Wonderful job on the axe, itself but the details on the clothing, the shading and lighting, etc are all so good as well. Great pic! :)

Free

I decided today that if there aren't going to be any dogs allowed in heaven that I don't really care that much if I get to go there, either.

Aubrey you made me cry again. *Hugs back* Thank you. (Goatlord's been smokin goatweed or something I think?) lol

Zack (Oct 1, 2004)

This is a beautiful but bittersweet surprise. I grieve for you.

Cindy, heaven will better than you or I are even capable of comprehending. Forget those stupid cliches about having halos, wings and harps, and sitting around on clouds being bored. Your worst day in heaven will be a thousand times better than your best day in this life. No wonder Paul urges us to run the race so as to win the prize. You should read C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce." I also recommend Luke 11:9-13. God would not withold Scout from his beloved daughter.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Oct 1, 2004)

Oh, Zack... such a sweet guy... and you made me cry when I thought that was all over. I have read the bible from Genesis to Revelations more than once or twice, but I haven't read "The Great Divorce". One I missed, but if you recommend it I'll read it soon. I believe what you say is true. I could just hug you and squeeze the stuffing out of you if you were here. :)

Cordelia_Pink (edited Oct 4, 2004)

Wow, this is incredible, man. It gives me a meaning of Freedom and Love (in which the title already has) and ethereal beauty. =) And a spirit flying free.

And Deadlyblonde, or Cindy, I'm pretty sure that anyone with a soul or a spirit can go to heaven and that includes dogs. You know that animals also have spirits and so once they've passed this mortal life and their physical bodies are buried, they're in heaven, happy to be in peace. =) [BUT] as long as they (the dogs) never harmed anyone or killed another being, then they will be allowed in heaven. Their actions and how they behaved here on Earth does matter in order to achieve that place of peacefulness and good. (wow, I'm sounding a little preachy lol)

Anyhow, the point I'm saying is that this picture is interpreting Freedom to live and be at peace and it's beautiful. Very deep meaning. I hope you come to understand that heaven is the best place to be. There is no other place that you can experience eternal joy and... yeah... well, you get the idea, I guess. (not that I have experienced it but I do believe it's possible that THAT is the place...)

Peace out!

Victim of Love

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 29, 2004)

What kind of love have you got?
You should be home, but you're not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
still makes you thirsty and hot
I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar
and he put out your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand?

Victim of Love, I see a broken heart....

Someone said when you draw someone upside down, that your brain has to work on the opposite side than that of which it normally does, so I wanted to try it. (for me that would be the right side, since I'm left-handed)
It just confirmed what I have always believed, that the left side of my brain is completely retarded. He didn't look anything like I intended, and I just couldn't get it right, so I had her smother him with a pillow and changed the name. lol (an idea that came to me anyway while I was talking to someone and drawing) ;)

purple_Llama (Sep 28, 2004)

In a word-stunning.

davincipoppalag (Sep 28, 2004)

Another one I didnt see! And I would have been very upset if I had missed this! I love the way you built this and the way you see light.. wonderful.

Lauren_Garcia (Sep 29, 2004)

i love your style. how magnificent.

Subaqueous Rocks

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 28, 2004)

Rocks under water.

I spent alot of time experimenting with the water in this one...playing around with it... so the actual production time for what you see is less than duration shown on the clock. This is the first picture for me to post since back from vacation, and while I was gone to the beach I had such a strong urge to draw that I drove into town and bought a sketch pad and pencils (I forgot my pastels) and sketched the buildings, ships, jetties, and all that I could see from the deck of the beach house. I had kind of forgotten how much fun it was just to really draw on paper.
