The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be found in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own -- for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling (1924 - 1975)

I believe he was one of the most creative geniuses of our time, and changed the way we view the world. This one is for the others who were knob-clicking, rabbit-ear adjusting kids who loved him like I did.

(I couldn't find any one reference picture that I was happy with, so I just sort of combined stuff I found)

--to which I might add,that many ideas have died on the vine,cause,basically,"with wisdom alone you don;'t go to market."this guy needed a tv. network,and cash,or else the twilight zone would just be an idea in a notebook,in the trash. Even microsoft needed some money to get started.Its one of the main reason we "babyboomers"were so creative,in the 60's,the economy was good,there were jobs,ect.ect. We had the fuel. Gotta have the fuel. It'll be interesting to see what happens to creativity in this era,in the US,and the future;already reality shows on t.v. stink to the Heavens,ugh.TV has never been so bad.Reality shows cost less to make,no writers to pay.But tv stinks so bad,I rarely watch it. During the 60's,we had so much good tv, it was dizzying. sigh.Twilight Zone looks so good now.

What Are Your Roots?

I was looking a DinoFlorist Ruler drawing and we were talking a little bit about how people found this site, Dino said he found it at inklink. I found out about it through www.youdraw.com. I was just wondering where everybody found out about this site. So please lets have a discussion.

Knockoff (Jun 22, 2004)

Wow. I adore this. I really don't know why. I really love the dark colors, and the feathers, there awesome as well. I would like to see more of this style from you, ED!

Cordelia_Pink (Jun 22, 2004)

*speechless*

wonderful. I love the hair and the eyes. Colors are very contrast. Very well done.

Gigandas (Jun 22, 2004)

Looks like a cinematic you might see in an anime game XDDD....and since I'm playing Xenosaga (anime game), kinda remind me of its characters XDDD.....nice :).

Phwa.

concannon (Jun 1, 2004)

I'm cheating and calling this done, because I need to get it out of my studio. I'll probably go back and fix things up, though, because yes, I know it needs more detail and contrast, etc. Lazy backgrounds rule j00 all.

It looks really good so far, for suggestions on the hair, I would say use varying line widths and add a few lighter highlights in appropriate places (i.e. near the top and on the bulgy parts of the curls). I think it's going to look great whatever you do though :)

Gigandas (edited Jun 6, 2004)

Whoa, pretty awesome 0_0.Love the smoothness you got on her skin tones.Um, a lot of people seem to do this and I've noticed what the problem is after doing so many reproductions of realism, but the nose doesn't have a dark shadow that leads all the way down the side of it.In fact, towards the bottom, but just above the nostril it kinda gets lighter and the light stretches into the cheek a little bit and blends in there.This color should be just a tad lighter than the rest of the shading around the nose.Think that should help some^^.But this is very nice overall :).Looking forward to the finish.

Ty854 (Jun 20, 2004)

That hair is awesome. Very nice shading on the face also. ^^

Gigandas (Jun 22, 2004)

Hey, you fixed it :).Now that looks a lot better XD....actually I think the nose is now my favorite part about this pic.The lips are all shiny too :).Good job fixing the stuff I mentioned though, it's not easy and you got it dead on ;).

Disciplined? Ha...

This is funny...but is that turtle in front of a mirror? and I think he need to be more muscular lol!
Ok I'm done complaining:)

davincipoppalag (Jun 20, 2004)

The Turtlemistress strikes again!~ good one!

laurael (Jun 20, 2004)

No, dmv, that turtle is not in front of a mirror...it's another turtle beside him and then two more, although they are not in the picture...they are suppose to be 'concentrating on their inner selves'...
And yes...I agree that I need to draw them a bit more muscular...and I will some day...right now they're in a developemental stage...? :)

Knockoff (Jun 21, 2004)

hahaha, this one is funny, laurael. Keep your eyes closed. ;)

More than a Cold Stare

EverDream (Jun 17, 2004)

I was watching Chamber of Secrets for the first time and was actually surprised to see Jason in the film. *laughs to self* I thought the blond hair was striking on him so I managed to scrape out this pic from an image not even half of the size I drew it from. Gotta love those chilling eyes! *shivers* :D

Paranoidkittie (Jun 22, 2004)
