cheating on hopper

boy if i had a nickel everytime my husband said that 'i'll fix it tomorrow' thing... hmmmm some of the things i can think of were 19 years and 362 days ago, and they still aren't fixed. =D

i like this painting because it depicts that they are comfortable being 'together', while they aren't actually interacting and they are each in separate planes of thought, they remain as 'companions', and still comforted by the other's presence. I hope that makes sense... it does to me. =]

A lot of people interpret Hopper's paintings differently and I read an interesting article about the various interpretations of just one piece. I usually get a depressing and very lonely feeling when I look at his work, as if the subjects are deliberately ignoring eachother as if to make a point. But I can also see what you mean DBA, that they look content with eachother without acknowledging one another.

I totally agree with Strawberry Paintbrush ... I see a lost connection in this. Actually, it's the woman's left arm and hand that makes me feel as though she has given up on trying to reestablish a connection... feeling like it is just no use any longer. So, I feel the art evokes emotion and thought but not necessarily the emotion and thought that would draw me to a work of art. However, this is a beautiful rendition!

I wanted to do more buy my mouse is acting all screwy. Ugh. The lines don't match up with where the cursor is. The line starts about an eight of an inch above the cursor. I don't know how to fix it. Ugh

StrawberryPaintbrush (Nov 1, 2010)

Hey, it's nice to see you're still drawing on here. I haven't been on in so long. I don't even know if I would remember how to use the damn thing!

Some girl

Going through random stock photos, I chose to do this lady because I liked her gaze. I did this piece to study the technique of zimbrulfurios/gratuitous candy, but I ended up using dots. I was particularly brave here, and it was alot of fun.

Great drawing, the way you've done it really is interesting.

Suntan (Feb 28, 2009)

It's wonderful!

Miss_DJ (Feb 28, 2009)

very nicely created! you've captured her emotion very well!

This reminds me of a project we had to do in 8th grade art which had us punching out hundreds of little colored dots out of construction paper and gluing them into one big picture. Was the hardest thing to do, but turned out pretty cool. Kinda like this.

Venus & Mars

kejoco (Jun 27, 2006)

Venus
Powers: Pheromones 100x that of the average human, combined with limited Telepathy, almost any man is immediately led to believe he is in love with her and would do anything she requests. Able to bend their will, and control their desires she is able to repress any aggressive behavior or Ill will towards her.

Has never found love due to the fact that she has never known if someone's feelings for her are real or just their uncontrollable desir
e for her due to her powers. Joined Xaiver's X-men for companionship, to use her power for a noble reason and in hope of finding a mutant able to resist her powers and love her for her.

Always found with faithful companion and protector, Mars.

Mars
Powers: Super Human strength, uncontrolled rage, extremely limited intelligence.

Mars was found by the mob and used as their number one enforcer for years due to his strength and rage. His mob leaders would convince him that his targets had wronged him in some way and he should get revenge. He never fully understood any of the reasons given, but the slightest provacation was enough to set him in motion. Due to his low intellegence he is in essence asexual and single minded in his anger until the day when his gang was stopped by Venus. Mars is the only man that on first meeting Venus has not immediately desired her, but her mere presence fills him with a peace he has never felt before. Venus felt that Mars needed a second chance and was happy to have the company of a man who didn't desire her as every man in the past has. Mars wears a self-imposed chain around his neck, to help control his violent impulses, which Venus leads him around by, only letting him loose when she is in danger and needs to be protected.

**Note**
I think this idea would work better as villans, but I'm making them hero's for the sake of the contest.
I'm thinking of this back story and writing it late at night and I'm tired, so if it doesn't make sense, I'm sorry.
Oh, I should also point out, venus is the roman goddess of love, Mars is the roman god of war

uuuuummmmm that was nauuuuugggghty... you're in taROUBLE NOW. :)

davincipoppalag (Jun 27, 2006)

Good entry kejo..I don't remember you drawing in this style before.

Sweetcell (Jun 27, 2006)

Oh this is outstanding and well thought out background for them. When I first saw this I thought you were drawing bad guys as well, but maybe in the near future there is a mutant who is immune to her powers that she falls in love with, only to have him dump her, breaking her heart and altogether making her turn her back on her fellow x-men to follow the darker road and have revenge against all mankind.

Ok, sorry, I'm taking your story and turning it into my own, but so far yours is the most unique entry I've seen and it's gotten my creative writing juices flowing. Bonza kejoko.

StrawberryPaintbrush (Jun 30, 2006)

Ok, what I don't understand is this: If Venus is looking for someone who can resist her powers, hasn't she found him? You said that Mars is the only one she knows who can resist her powers, and i know he has little intelligence so he may not know how to love her back, but either way, he is resisting still right?

I'm sorry if I confuse you...

Oh Beautifuw! His hollow eyes make him look haunted, yet welcoming at the same time. Nice.

my little friend?

correct, not sarcasm, just an observation.

wait wait so making the rounds commenting and drawing periodically isnt allowed anymore? gee dave you're out of a job.

davincipoppalag (Oct 4, 2007)

Well they say opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and it seems that here ,assholes have opinions too.

Arique (Oct 9, 2007)

You shouldn't say mean things staci. Dave has been a supportive artist here who deserves a lot of admiration for his kindness. The reason he gets so many comments is because he has gained the respect of so many people who appreciate the comments he makes on their drawings. I'm no exception...

Axil62 (Nov 5, 2007)

Yeah? Well this isn't 2comment, it's 2draw. So leaving phony ass positive comments on everything (no matter how shitty the drawing is) so that no talent little shits will like you, is pure bullshit, Arique. So you can take the whole "I'm gonna leave a nice comment on so-n-so's because they left one on mine" and shove it up your ass. Oh, and another thing Dave, must you end EVERY phony comment you make with an exclamation point?
Are you people really so pathetic that these token dime a dozen bullshit comments that Dave is always leaving actually mean something? Don't you get it? He leaves them NO MATTER WHAT YOU DRAW. They mean nothing but "lets trade nice comments with each other no matter how shitty our drawings are...yeah, that's it, lets blow smoke up each others asses and pretend it's all wonderful!"

I love your style so far. Nice job with the background and making it smooth and blended. I can see that you are starting to understand the applet. Keep up the good work friend!

Hahahahaha, this... this is just perfect. Whenever a draw fux up on me I'm just going to improvise like this. Can't stop laughing it's so funny. Reminds me of The Toad in a british cartoon that for the life of me I can't remember. *sigh the ole brain pan going squish*

As opposed to red Cindy? Imagine if you just ate the red ones. :D

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Jan 20, 2007)

You mean like Red Lake #5? Anything red tastes horrible to me... I can taste the dye. Part of being raised in the wild, I guess. I only know you definitely aren't supposed to eat the green M&M's

a_blue_orange (Jan 20, 2007)

I love those little hoppy frogs on the bottom ^_^

fleeting_memory (Jan 21, 2007)

I agree with blue orange-I love all those little ones at the bottom with their crowns! :) !

very beautiful, so soft and tender. I love the tiny detail of buttons..you can almost feel the luxurious fabric of her gown and veil. :)

I did my parents wedding portrait in oil from the early 40's as a gift for my Dad and it was such a pleasure and seeing what you have done reminds me of it

yes this is awesome...i love how you used the lack of space to make such a great effect

djramz99 (Dec 26, 2006)

Thanks guys!

Miss_DJ (Dec 26, 2006)

I love the colors you used. Nice!

StrawberryPaintbrush (Dec 27, 2006)

I love elephants and drawing too! I recently finished an acrylic relief painting of an elephant and I used the blue and the brown too. Very nice.
