I have a feeling I'm not corrupted enough to understand Flubbles.

I like this pic too.....very good!!! :)

Jimbob (Apr 20, 2010)

Cheers guys... I can't find a direct link to the ref but it's a dog with the side of its face pressed to the ground. Plus, I can't stress enough how inspiring some of these tumblr blogs are... if you are ever in need of something new to draw...

Jimbob (Apr 15, 2010)

Decided to do some quick reference paints...
Started following an art tumblr blog thisisn'thappiness (http://thisisnthappiness.com) so they will most likely all come from there... going to try and do at least a few a week... lets see how it goes...

This looks very impressionistic, and I had some of that stuff , too.

JillJJ (Aug 5, 2007)

Beautiful painting, beautiful work! Jilljj

Sweetcell (Aug 6, 2007)

Ooh, teabag. I found those to be gaudy after awhile, but I like them now. They certainly capture lots of light and colors. Great again PS.

My normal instinct is to offer comfort and support, but Klox, hon, you can't replace her. In some ways, even if you find someone else whom you adore, there will still be the corner of your heart that sees her in every woman, that remembers her and loves her. It's not something you can erase, not if you tried. You really -were- in love with her, but you can't spend the rest of your life waiting for her to come around, or even for her to come back... It's only hurting you, and I don't like to see friends - however new or however known - in pain.

I hope you can work through this. If you wanna talk or anything let me know. I know it's none of my business, but it's just kind of a, "hey, if you need anything let me know."

That's all. This is really pretty. *hugs* And I'm glad that you chose to draw her as you see her, not how the media would see her. It's a far more personal view.

Kloxboy (Aug 8, 2007)

clover pocky: I've made many of my experiences (good and bad) public though my art and ramblings. To some degree, I've made my experiences other peoples business, so I'm not about to shoot anyone down for giving advice, commenting, suggesting, etc. You're welcome to react as freely as you wish.

I think you've got a good hold on my situation, I agree with most of what you said. Everyone you love lingers with you long after they've gone and will probably remain with you for the rest of your life. When I say replace her, I meant I just want someone else to love, I don't intend to find a new version of her. My personal pain will always be expressed in my art, I know this now, it's just how I work. I would be an insane mess if I didn't have some type of art therapy to give me release. Thanks for your thoughts and support.

sweet_insanity (Aug 8, 2007)

i like the shapes here, not too detailed but i still emphisizes on
the good parts *cough-boobs-cough*
and i know how you feel...
i think it'd be easier for me to find someone to love if i would just shut up about my ex...
i blab alot :(

shell (Apr 7, 2010)

full of good rich good solid good goodness with a hint of not so innocent for good measure.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 23, 2007)

One of the things I like are spunky talented girls with red hair that think deeply and express themselves well artistically. :)

Miss_DJ (Aug 25, 2007)

I thought this was Axils.

I adore it. Wonderful mood expressed perfectly. love the slight downward curling at the corner of her mouth. I could study this for hours. (and SHOULD..lol)

Sometimes much more than a tiny part stays, and it leaves this huge empty place in your heart that you can't fill with anything else.

sweet_insanity (Aug 24, 2007)

yeah... i feel this.
the imagry is so strong, yet it's still relitive to the viewer's perspective.

Miss_DJ (Aug 24, 2007)

you express this feeling so well here Klox.

shell (Apr 7, 2010)

Yeah he does he's a mastef of expressing feeling through art I don't know how he does it.

Missed commenting first time around.
She's so adorable the way she's leaning over him like that.
Bad for him that he can't sleep,
but she's adorable.

very nice!

Roytje (Sep 17, 2007)

That's cool. I like the salt on the right :)

enjoydotcom (Sep 17, 2007)

This is great, I wonder how she is supposed to have done the reflection differently. Curious to know because reflection is something I haven't even tried.

shell (Apr 7, 2010)

cool
