This picture really is thought provoking. When I first saw it it struck me as being very cool but didn't really understand the story it was trying to tell until I just stared at for a few minutes to absorb everything. I THINK I know what it's supposed to mean but it probably is one of those that means something different to whoever looks at it. Every little part has some meaning. Very cool and wonderfully drawn.

Nice picture. Interesting technique you've use here. Can I suggest that you could increase the depth greatly by darkening the spires further back.

davincipoppalag (Jan 30, 2007)

I like it too..sorta like a place where Dr. Seuss characters might live

Alter.Native (Jan 31, 2007)

Yes! Siriustar is a favorite. Hey, since our band collaboration didn't work out ;P, maybe we should try an all Californian artsy collab here..when we both feel comfortable with them toolz. How 'bout that? :)

Zer0 (Feb 2, 2007)

Let's do it - Just say when!

The horns make me hungry for a croissant.

nobody owns the style, its there for the taking, it's just a case of...how long you've been tapping the style, and the measure of your ability to play with it. - you done well hunter
nevertheless, orginality is found in getting there before everyone else.

What prophetic words from Renuar... "getting there before everyone else" :)
You won't know if it's a hit 'till you're emulated, but that's the idea

You know I have to correct what I said, I saw one in my neighbors yard today and thought, "Oooh, Dave drew one of those." It was so pretty.

CarmineDawn (Jan 24, 2009)

No offense or anything, but he reminds me of Vin Diesel....*flinches*...don't hurt me...

Alter.Native (Jan 30, 2007)

Stripped of any visual excesses, the title fits perfectly.

sweet_insanity (Jan 30, 2007)

kinda reminds me of james woods.

Naima (Jan 31, 2007)

Oooooooooooo... Something quietly spooky about this one. I think it's that you can't see anything in the eye sockets... Man, this is great.

I definitely know you, but making sure:: Have you tried playing any of those FF acoustic versions yet :) ? Good proportions on that face..Looks like he's caught in a net.

nobody (Jan 29, 2007)

i thought the same thing when i looked at the thumbnail, sweetcell.

Zer0 (Jan 30, 2007)

Hi. Yes I do visit youdraw from time to time. I'm flattered that my work could be momentarily mistaken for Crimson Kings, though I'm quite sure I havent mastered these tools to the extent that he has. No A.N - I all but gave up my musical aspirations when you declined my offer to form a band. ;P

Naima (Jan 31, 2007)

Love this!

That's tight. I love the mix of elements, a nice variety of painterly techniques.

Alter.Native (edited Jan 29, 2007)

I like the lighting points..they make me think of people approaching with flashlights. The only ones I'm not that keen on, are the petal- looking ones at the top..Great piece all around!

nyao (Jan 29, 2007)

I really love the colors and texture... I see alot of people with umbrellas and a snail...? XD

Roytje (Jan 30, 2007)

Merci!
Yes, snails are cool :)
