Very nice. Maybe you could call it Feuerwyrm?

very cool concept. my eyes are bathing, at this very moment, in the lovely lines and colour choices.

ROARRRR HISSSS *splurtters acid vomit every where* I EEET YUUU ARRRR

hahaha :D
I'm having the best time time with this :D awesome job again josh xD

thank you dearest, I wanted it to be more than just another head....

ahahah, this is great. colours are delicious. i feel the need to comfort your frustrated little man (no sexual innuendo intended).

my two cents: i don't feel there's anything inherently wrong with anime-- there's some incredibly skilled masters of the style out there, no doubt.
but there's a hell of a lot more anime that doesn't fit into that category, and the pervasivity (i made up that word, but it sounds good) of it is insane. it' impossible to avoid all the art and artists of the style-- many of whom are very young and therefore naturally more inclined to fanaticism-- creating sheer armies of anime eyesores. what ticks me off the most is that 95% of it looks the same. like a great big ball of siamese twins from a million different mother.
mmm. not the greatest similie.
needless to say, i can't say i'm much a fan.

Oh gawd. This drawing describes exactly how I feel every time I get on DA. I love good anime, and I love stylized cartoons; but goddamn, I also like to see some diversity. Especially since my artistic style is still very limited and it does good to expand. I see enough anime bullcrap in my notebook every day, and that's why I like getting online to see other stuff. o3o

Nothing wrong with anime... It's just.... A little annoying sometimes. Maybe a bit too popular, you know? (ahhheemmmmprobablytheeasieststyletolearnhackhackhack)

eh. "Anime style" is just stylized anatomy. American-Comic style uses stylized anatomy as well. There are good Anime artists, and goon American Comic artists. I don't see why we need to bash those artists who are still learning, wether they use anime or american comic style. Or maybe I'm just ranting because I'm a bad anime artist myself :\ dunno.

if i had seen the darker version first, i probably wouldn't have been able to decipher the image. now, looking at both, the darker image packs slightly more punch in the emotive department, but-- hell, they're both *smashing*. love the detail, the style, the masterful use of light and dark, all of it. usually i find text in artwork distracting and unnecessary, but the words you use really help clarify the theme. great stuff.

it's gross it's trippy and i love it.

wow..hope you come back soon. :)

That is some seriously pretty coloring

the angle and contrast (between the feather-fine details and smooth portions such as the figure's skin & clothes) are fantastic. love the monochrome, too. good job!

oh my god! davey havoc :D!!!
amazing job <3

van Goghs use of complementary colours really helped me along....

I like the table and the lamps especially... something about the right kind of stripiness I think?

yes- I tried to copy his brushstrokes... possibly overdid the glow of the lamps...

I'm not too familiar with this artist, but I really like your drawing!

very modern!

I love this-- basquiat is one of my favorite artists. Great choice of colours!
