Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road

Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound

Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Running it's dangerous, yeah, but making the stuff isn't exactly the world's safest thing either.
Great picture, Axil. I love the dappled lighting.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 2, 2006)

At first I wasn't going to comment on this, because I comment on almost all of your pictures that I like (which would be almost all of them) and I look like some kind of groupie following you around and falling at your feet, but I decided I don't care, because I keep coming back to look at this one over and over again. It is one of my favorite things you've ever done, and I'm not going to explain why because nobody really cares why except for me, but the lyrics and the picture.... have a special meaning to me, and aside from all that...

I love the painting. It's done in a way that you, and only you, could do it.

sincity (Feb 2, 2006)

Great work as always axil. The lyrics are perfect for this. :}

SYTHE (Feb 4, 2006)

Love that song, I could swear I heard it play'in while I was checking out your picture. Great combination!

Study Using Color - Girl Biting Lip

Thanks for all the C&C everyone.
I usually have problems drawing noses but I probably shouldn't have "outlined" it like I did - makes it pop out too much. Will try to develop more on this style on the next one.
DBA: At first I thought you meant the rules of this board but no...I was denied posting on some other board because I didn't do photorealism (rules were kind of unclear in that place)...

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Feb 1, 2006)

No, I meant the general "art rules" you learn as you go...the ones it's okay to break once you know them, :) not the rules here. I still think the whole thing is fine, it flows and the main attention is drawn to her beautiful eyes.. and, of course, the biting of her lip. I wouldn't have noticed anything about the nose at all if someone hadn't mentioned it. I wish I were capable of doing something well besides photorealism. It gets really tiring at times. I like your style.

Jervy (Feb 3, 2006)

Yeah that's pretty much what I thought you meant there! I just get annoyed when people think that an artwork is "good" only because it looks like a photo. I know it takes alot of work and is very difficult to achieve but in general it's something I don't particularly find interesting but there are always exceptions to that... I think that everyone is capable of forming their own style but style in itself is hard to define. If you are really getting tired of it, you might want to stray away from photorealism for awhile...

davincipoppalag (Feb 3, 2006)

This is wonderful. I wish I had the talent to try anything but semi-adequate photorealism.

It'll be something...

Drawing with a mouse is so f*cked up after getting used to a stylus

Its something I suppose

voodoobunny (Jan 31, 2006)

I love this.
It's so smooth and the colors are nice.

hideyourface (edited Feb 1, 2006)

You're really an arrogant fuck Cindy.
I really like how this picture turned out. I was always obsessed with aliens when I was younger and this looks a lot like what I used to draw. Real cool blue.

Sweetcell (Feb 4, 2006)

So glad you finished, it's beautiful.

Devil's Daughter

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 30, 2006)

Hell of an angel
Skin that shines like pearls
Eyes that make your soul bleed
Innocent and sweet
Your friends surely agree
Like candy she's a real treat
But sugar's far from calm
I don't mean to alarm
By the time you blink
The shit kicks in

I'm walkin' up the stairs
My heart's beating fast
Following her legs
To her thighs
To her yeah, yeah, yeah

Like a knife at my throat
I like the way that she gropes
Her curves make my blood swim in my veins
Her pain comes in doses
Till you're one step closer
Then you're completely insane
Hung by a halo and stabbed by horns
Then she'll tell you they're both the same

I went to bed with an angel
At least that's what she said
But as she tore off her dress
Lord I must confess
I got the devil's daughter
I got the devil's daughter in my bed

Awesome as usual, don't you dare delete. My goodness what can you do on a large canvas? BTW, what song is that from? You quote a lot of songs that I almost know.

Miss_DJ (edited Feb 5, 2006)

sizzlin'......what a pearl of a girl

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 5, 2006)

thanks... sweetcell, it's "Devil's Daughter" by Silvertide

suzie (Feb 19, 2006)

The skin tones, her shape, and pose are all so beautiful. The flames are good but they just focus your eyes on her..gorgoeus work.

You could borrow the golf cart from the security guard and cross this. Pretty colors Helena.

Pantera (Feb 2, 2006)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 2, 2006)

Hi!!! California is one of the few places in the U.S. I haven't been. Guess you don't like it there? (My little brother hated living there) Where are you going next?

Pantera (Feb 3, 2006)

Oh I love it here, I am 5 minutes away from a beach :) this is another military move not by choice :( not sure yet of next area, should find out in the next few months.

...seeing what had happened, Wanda took the flattened Larry into the alleyway and re-inflated him for a mere $20.00.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 31, 2006)

(lol @ snort) :)... I hate to work poor lil' ole' Bob's fingers to the bone, but I am dying to know what Larry's estranged, yet violent and psychopathic wife is going to do to him when she catches him rounding that corner with that big fat smile and 20 bucks less in his wallet.... Talk about needing paramedics, now. ;)

SYTHE (Jan 31, 2006)

Hey, I thought that guy was dead.....aw man......now I gotta cancel the funeral arrangements. What a second, who was the guy we had embalmed......oh well. -very hummerous-

friend (Feb 1, 2006)

hmmm i wonder how she re-inflated him, if you know what i mean! :P
Lol, very funny. This guy better be careful before he loses all his money!

Emperor

Axil62 (Jan 31, 2006)

I heard a story once, I can't remember all the details. It was about an Emperor and a painter. For whatever reason, the painter was faced with death for some infraction. The Emperor made a deal with the painter, a deal that if the painter could paint the most beautiful meaningful painting the Emperor had ever seen, his life would b spared. The painter thought long and hard. After the painter was finished with the painting the Emperor was floored by the pure genius and beauty of the painting. This is my version of that painting. The Emperor loved it because it was a brilliant concept, the bird already having left the painting both shows movement, insight, simplicity and lets the viewer imagine their own interpretation of a beautiful bird, therefore seeing one. I don't know if it's a true story or not, but I've always liked it.

It also really helps to use tablet pressure on size/opacity for clouds. Like a hella lot.

Axil62 (Feb 1, 2006)

Yup, forgot to mention that. ( I foolishly assume everyone uses it. Why wouldn't you want your tools to simulate a brush as closely as possible?)It's like.... yeah, it isn't gonna work out to well unless you do use pressure sensitivity.
