I'm a gambler
And I'm a runner
But you knew that
When you lay down

I'm a picture
Of ugly stories
I'm a killer
And I'm a clown

Step into the street by sundown
Step into your last goodbye
You're a target just by living
Twenty dollars will make you die

I wear lace
And I wear black leather
My hands are lightning upon my gun

My shots are clean
And my, my shots are final
My shots are deadly
And when it's done

You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
You're as dead as a desert night
You're a notch
And I'm a legend
You're at peace
And I must hide

Tell me where the hell I'm going
Let my bones fall in the dust
Can't you hear that ghost that's calling
As my Colt begins to rust
In the dust

I'm a killer
I'm a clown
I'm a priest
That's gone to town

I almost don't care how "right" it is so that frees things up to go fast.

backmagicwoman (Feb 10, 2010)

Yes..but it does look right...to me.

Axil62 (Feb 10, 2010)

It is right, but I have to not care if it is.

I like the Eagles version of "Desperado".......I never heard this version by Alice Cooper before, but I'm not an Alice Cooper fan.......I am a big fan of the Eagles though.....:)

"Puppet Master".....

firecracker (Mar 26, 2009)

I got tired of looking at version one of this draw.....it's been sitting in my unfinished draws gallery forever, so I decided to completely change it.....it's still a clown pic.....but it's a different sort of clown......I hope you all like this version better. I might still work on it a little bit more.....hands are so difficult for me to draw, I might try to make them look better...."lol" :)

firecracker (Feb 10, 2010)

Hi "bette davis eyes"....thank you very much for your nice comment.....I really do appreciate it. I'm really glad you think I did ok on this pic......I was really tired of looking at version 1 of this clown draw.....I wanted to change it completely, so I saw this ref pic on a black t-shirt, and I thought I'd try drawing it......I like it.....I think it looks kinda cool. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.....:)

Oh, this seemed angelic indeed, until I spotted some unsatisfied, inquiring look in his eye. It destroys the angelic image. very interesting.
Also, I think I liked his chin on 2nd version better.

LifeGotColour (Jan 2, 2010)

amazing composition!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 4, 2010)

This is captivating... the facial expression is amazing, and the execution of light and shadow here is more than masterfully done. If this were actually an oil painting I would hang it on my wall in a heartbeat... I haven't liked anything this much in a long time.

Roytje (Feb 10, 2010)

That's a sweet compliment. Thanks a lot.

I like when someone can create a drawing that is more relaxed and paintery styled, photo realism is stiff and not always considered art but thievery. I wish I could draw or paint like this, maybe in time or as I practice, we'll see. This is really beautiful, keep up with 'your' style!

vlad.the.hamster (Feb 9, 2010)

I love the more painterly styles, too, just that photorealism is easier. :p
But I'm loving all your stuff so far. They're awesome.

mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)

i wouldn't say photo realism is easier, its just that to paint in a photo realistic style you need to use photo reference more often. When drawing from a photo reference, the guy who paints in a simplified style needs to think how the forms look in real life. On the other hand the guy who paints photo realistic stuff, doesn't need to understand how things look in real life. He just needs to be able to copy what he sees. But a skilled artist that has a bit more simplified style will be able to be much faster than the photo realistic artist.

Also the thing about photo realistic artists doing stiff art, isn't exactly true. It's just that i think the artist that has a better understanding of how the forms he is painting would look like in 3D, will be able to push his characters in a more dynamic poses, than the artist who only knows how things look from a limited number of angles.

vlad.the.hamster (Feb 9, 2010)

Well, it's just that I know more people that can copy a photo exactly and can't draw/paint anything without one, but I get what you're saying.

I think the rest of it is beautiful, i was just saying that the hut could look a little better.

Suntan (Feb 9, 2010)

I'm just saying that I'm very happy you joined here. :)

backmagicwoman (Feb 9, 2010)

Yes..always happy to have new members...very nice picture indeed..:)

mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)

thanks guys for the comments :D
Suntan - heh, its just luck that i joined here :D i was fed up with OekakiCentral and wanted to try some other oekaki site. i found this other oekaki site where i sent my registration application, but while waiting for my confirmation email, i found this site and i didn't need to wait for any administrator to begin drawing oekakis :D and also this site looks to be more active than the other one, so, yay!
Bobstained - ah you meant that. heh, the hut does look does look a bit rubbish, doesn't it, but then to my eye so does the horizon line too. I meant to just do a quick 20-30 minute landscape study, and then i ended so frustrated with getting the sea to look even halfway decent.. and as for the hut, thats my second try to draw the hut and it still looks like that... for my excuse i can say that i didn't understand the form of the hut from looking at the reference picture... it just looked to me like a haphazard bunch of sticks, so thats how it pretty much ended...
and besides guys, i made this in the beginner section, im sure this will be lost quickly enough in the flood of other posts that are made in this section. When i post in the intermediate or advanced boards i will take more time to draw.

everybody else, sorry for not replying, but im really slow at writing stuff and i really need to go back to drawing (or should i say painting?) this nude in the advanced board. It will be awesome! :D

I like this beacuase it reminds me of an old cartoon that I used to love called Aeon Flux...it was one of the first cartoons to be considered anime style.

RadiantHawkWings (Feb 9, 2010)

Thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate it!
