Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn

Chaotic (Feb 18, 2006)

Well, I was listening to one of my favorite jams by Hellogoodbye...I don't think many people have heard of them, but they rock and the song below inspired this picture.

The wilted flowers that I gave
Were not as nice as your bouqet
All the lyrics that I wrote
Not as smart as the words you spoke
The starlight above my hometown
Aint as bright as the star ive found
Every drawing that I drew
Was never ever as cute as you

Serious as a heart attack
I'm looking in my almanac
Ive gotta find out all the things
And find out where she got her wings
Shimmy shimmy quarter turn
I feel like I will never learn
How can I check lost and found
When I'm too busy getting down

Gotta get it back to
A back up plan to find you
Start acceleration
Take it back to square one

I swear that I'm not kidding
We're just trying to fit in
With all the other answers
Questions never confirmed
States that keep us far apart
Track the beating of my heart
Mark the places in my book
With photographs we never took
I swear that I'm not kidding
The night time is so pretty
With all the stars above your eyes
I'm sneaking out and making ties
States that keep us far apart
Track the beating with a chart
Mark the rythms that I shook
Everytime I caught you look

I love the lighting and the skin tones, awesome work. His face looks great. <3

That right leg from the kneed down is just rock. I like the style of shading as well, all messy and background colorey. :D

SYTHE (Feb 18, 2006)

*Fwoo*, excuse me. Nice style you got there.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 18, 2006)

I have no idea how some of you get the lines so smooth when you do this... I tried it and it looks like somebody with palsy did it. I'm just sitting here wondering what it would do for the picture if she had a shadow of some sort?

Knockoff (May 3, 2006)

I like this style. You have the smoothest lines ever. :B

I love the loose style in this. Her face is so pretty, and I really like the skin tones.

Your art is awesome.

Sweetcell (Feb 18, 2006)

I echo all of the above, she has an 80's punk to her. I expect her to start singing "Hit me with your best shot."

Menyway (Feb 18, 2006)

I dont know, it could just be me, but her bust seems kind of low.. even though she isn't wearing a bra they would be higher... like i said it could just be me!!! O_o Anyway awesome use of the Oekaki Shi program!!! I love you're stlye!! Keep up the good work!! ^_^

Jervy (Feb 18, 2006)

I think the problem is that it doesn't look anything like dust. not so much that it's there. dust is nearly opaque

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Feb 18, 2006)

I personally don't think it needs to look like dust, (it does look more like smoke or something), but it's just cool looking, anyway.

nobody (Feb 18, 2006)

ya, i don't think it looks like dust. but i think whatever it is, it just looks neat.

suzie (edited Feb 18, 2006)

I want to thank you all for your views on this and how you see it. I was kinda messing with what colours I could use, that you wouldn't normally link to an Elephant, and the dust kind of evolved..lol I think the colour thing went to my head a lilttle, but I really appreciate all this feedback, it helps me a lot. Thanks again! :D
