I have both. the box is to represent that little world you wish you could shut yourself up in to escape it. I started to do a crowded store but it just didnt work out. I hate those. anyways wish I could work on it more but there is a storm moving in and I've got to shut the pewter off. It is starting to lightening pretty good outside.

agoraphobia is nasty business-wonderful depiction of that safe containment that you know nothing can go wrong in. Bravo.

davincipoppalag (May 2, 2006)

Perfect depiction of that. I have an aunt like that, she just cocoons in her apartment and cannot conceive of going out in public.

Felistorm (May 2, 2006)

I try to but on top of it I have Lupus and am UV sensitive. (can't tolerate sunlight or it causes a nasty rash and makes me sick) I can for short periods but I can't spend alot of time out and I have to be having one heck of a great day before I even try. Sucks.

I hate markets. I hate queues, when there's no straight line and people are pushing. makes me helpless.
I think your pic displays it perfectly.

Playing around with techniques. Still need to try some with some tweaking in colors but hey. THere are some things I like (lips, eyes) and some that need some serious fixing (nose) I suck at skin tone but thought this was a lil better than usual. LOL

I like those eyes, too Jana

emmamommalag (May 5, 2006)

Me too! And the skintone looks pretty good to me.

Felistorm (May 6, 2006)

I finally figured out what was bugging me about this one. (besides too much red hue. I used red as a base) The eyes should be lower set on the face. :) about where I've got the shadow starting I think. And a lil more shadow on the side of the nose. :P (yes it was bugging me. LOL) Anyone know of some good books to use for ref. on people?

It's a cute picture :3 but I think you could improve it.

Foxes necks aren't thin and long o_o so it looks a little unnatural

Axil62 (Apr 29, 2006)

Hey, that's like saying foxes don't have long thin necks.

SanzoGirl (Apr 30, 2006)

Cute! ^_^
But yea, the neck look alittle bit..... scary. O_O;

Felistorm (edited Apr 30, 2006)

I wish I could put the pic up I ref'ed from. It is like that on there. I think it is just the camera view they used. I don't think that is all neckbut actually part of the front of the fox. I dunno. I wonder if I could find the pic of the front cover online? I think the only diff. is it may be a bit bushier? I'll look. http://www.nwf.org/kids/kzPage.cfm?siteId=3 aha! if you look over to the side of the page you'll see the magazine cover. I do think I could have done a better job but honest! :D the neck was really long and thin looking. :)

The shadows

Felistorm (Apr 29, 2006)

I know this came out really dark. It was supposed to but if you zoom in you can still see details and I have one more I plan to do that is not dark like this. The creature I only know to describe is wolf-like. It almost always is in shadows and I usually only started out with this feeling of complete and total fear. I mean beyond terrified. It would freeze me. (please read my comment to Opiums drawing) I was always trying to fight it but had to work past my fear to do so and alot of the dreams took place in this old abandoned house that had alot of stuff in storage in it. The rocking chair (sometimes a rocking horse too) Boxes, drop cloths etc. I had others in sort of an end of the world setting with sirens going off and no one around but just a very few people and we were all trying to find everyone else. Cars in the ditches etc and it would be stalking me. I later actually saw the abandoned house from my dreams in real life and that house terrified me then just as bad as it did in my dreams. It belonged to my ex's family and they lived in the same house I later found out where my brother was shot and was supposed to of died but actually lived. (still has buckshot in his body) The abondoned house is two houses down from that one and wasn't an old house though. It had burned down once and they rebuilt most of it but never finished the inside. These nightmares plagued me til I was 18 then stopped.

woah_pockster (Apr 29, 2006)

very intruiging, and great story. when I was little ass my dreams started off the same: I'd wake up *in my dream* and walk to my door and there'd be a witch-looking person standing in my hall. she's lead me down my hall *that was a lot longer in my dream* and I'd pick a door. once I picked one she'd push me in and I'd have my dream. it was really weird.
wonderful draw my dear<3 I like that chair =]

davincipoppalag (Apr 29, 2006)

Great story...spooky picture too , Jana..

Sweetcell (Apr 29, 2006)

Very eerie that the house in your dream ended up being real. Perhaps you have the touch of the claravoyant in you Jana, I had a seriously weird dream last night that was so real... well it freaked me out. Nightmares, those are the dreams I could do withour remembering.

Felistorm (Apr 29, 2006)

I think that is why my nightmares bother me so badly when I have them. I know I do. I've actually had very strong experiances with it. One I had was my mom being beaten and I was watching it from the cats eyes (she had a cat named Sosha at the time) and I could see her house clearly though I'd never been in it. I watched the whole thing and woke up freaking out. I called her out of being worried sick to make sure she was ok and in real life he'd rebroken her jaw. I found out later it was exactly as I'd described. I was not impressed. I've had some instances that were during when I was awake too but not like that. I never want to experiance that type again. They aren't always bad ones though some are good. Not so often now as they used to be. My ex could never figure out what my problem was with that house. I couldn't hardly stand being in it at all and he wanted to move there and finish it out. LOL

DarkCloak (Apr 28, 2006)

Oh man... That's some really scarey stuff. What I hate about that experience is that it always seems so damn real! I've had it happen to me once, I was laying in bed, couldn't move, when someone started pounding on my bedroom door like crazy. I wanted to answer it, even say something, but I was paralyzed. Then, suddenly, I snored really loud and startled myself out of the trance-like state. I was very weirded out at hearing myself snore, but even more weirded out when there was no-one on the other side of the door...

Is there any way you can keep your eyes closed during your subconscious hallucinations?

Ceido (edited Apr 29, 2006)

Weird.. I've been trying to put myself in that state because it's a on the transition from being awake to being awake in a dream. Lucid Dreaming. I'd like to experience it, but sounds a bit weird/scary.

Felistorm (edited Apr 29, 2006)

OMG This completely freaked me out only because I recognized that wolf-like thing from my own nightmares. I have a rather interesting background with it. Not just that but the state you were in describes mine perfectly almost minus the urge to kill anyone. Mine (and I cannot believe I am writing this) Mom had nightmares about it chasing me before i was born. Then I started having them. I would be so terrified to go to sleep that I would almost avoid it and then I would sometimes try to wake up and end up in something between asleep and awake. I would be aware of my surroundings and yet be caught in my dream. I would be struggling to open my eyes but couldn't and would have to scream for my mom to come shake me. I would also have dreams where I was fighting the creature. I never became it though. I did on the other hand have shapeshifting dreams where I would become a cougar ...thus my artist signature. I would wake up with grass in my bed and wonder if I sleptwalked. What is the name of the sleep disorder? I've not had these since I was 18 but still have some very vivid dreams. I would like to find out more about it. This is fascinating. I had just thought I should draw mine. I'd not checked in in awhile and wanted to draw something and I scrolled down and saw this. I am so glad you decided to go ahead and post it. I forgot to add I did have the urge to "hunt" when I dreamed that I shapeshifted.

Wow...thanks to everyone.
Derrick: I'm sorry...but I came across your pics and there was something so compelling in your features, crying out to me to draw you...so I did. :)

JK-Arts (Dec 29, 2005)

I just recently got into drawing pictures like this and i must say this is a great one. skinn tones are very nice and smooth a bit red thought but i've seen alot of people that dark. Great draw

TaCO (Dec 29, 2005)

It mite look a little red cause i'm Cajun.
3 of my grandparents were born speaking Cajun and the 4th one was half Cheroke(native american).
2 of my Cajun grandparents have native american blood in them too.
So that's were the red and the darkness comes from.

LisaAnne (Apr 22, 2006)

I was looking through your work...you have such rich color use, and smoothness. Very impressive.

Opium: Maybe it is because a snake bites and lets go and a lizard hangs on and twists while hanging on....(yep been bit that way too LOL)
Punky: Geckos are soooo cute! I like all critters. :P

Opium (edited Dec 24, 2005)

Felistorm: haha I think you're right! They can be such mean little buggers. Oh, and yes, all venomous snakes are immune to their own venom...that's why they can bite food, let it die then re-swallow their own toxins. We just weren't sure if the little gal was going to make it, being bit in the head and all. must not have bit anything that could kill her!
and geckos! They're so adorable! Cept Tokay geckos, they're beautiful but horrid little monsters

davincipoppalag (Dec 24, 2005)

This is looking terrific so far! Realy good.
