Raining

fleeting_memory (Feb 12, 2004)

It's raining, it's pouring;
The old man is snoring.
Bumped his head
And he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the morning.

Rain, rain, go away;
Come again another day;
Little Johnny wants to play.

Got some nice curtains now, I see^^.Um, about the ripples, I think they could be more definite.I think right now, I can barely make them out so you might want to make it more visible first, and go from there.Improvements being added are helping with every revision^^.Looks very nice.

drat I keep seeing things that I want to fix but I shall call it done-I like this whole nurshery rhyme thing-which one should I do next?

Gigandas (Feb 15, 2004)

Stupid computer.....I did submit a comment after version 6, but somehow didn't post><....well, anyways I said that you did a great job taking my advice in this^^.I like all the details you added that some people might've missed when drawing this picture such as the hand marks on the window, the rain drops rolling down the sides of the window, the ripples in the water from the rain hitting the water, etc.I have to say you did a great job overall^^.Can't wait to see what you come up with next^^.

Strawberry Gashes

Childlike_Vampire (Dec 17, 2003)

"Hex me told her
I dreamt of a devil that knew her
Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over

Watch me fault her
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
With strawberry gashes all over"

I love this and that song. The blood looks really good and I think it really goes with the song.

This picture is absolutely awesome. It hit me kind of hard at first, because I have a friend who cuts herself for some reason... I have no formal learning in composition or whatever, but I guess I'll just say what I can, since I want to give a real comment. ;) I like the contrast of the red and purple with the white of her skin. Especially with the blood. I also like how the bathroom in the background is all in reds and whites, while her hair and eyes are that blue-ish purple. There's a metaphor there somewhere...Don't know if you intended it, but it's itching right at the back of my brain and aching to come out. Anyhow, awesome picture. I really like it.

"blueberries and strawberries taste better with blood"?

this is so sad because I know someone like this. The expression on her face is VERY well done-amazing

I like this pic so far, especially his left hand, and the shiny straps. Nice expressions, and outfit, too *tugs on the strings slightly* hehehe. Although I don't really know why her hands are up like that...are they dancing?

ToraNeko (edited Feb 11, 2004)

Oh, well, as you see, I'm not done yet (I'm so bad and lazy) but the girls hands are going to be tied up like a puppet, thus the name puppet strings. lol

Childlike_Vampire (Feb 11, 2004)

Hey, look, it says puppet strings in the title! I are teh lame and didn't notice that bit! lmao. It looks awesomely all finished now. ^_^ I still like the dudes hands.

fleeting_memory (Feb 12, 2004)

Yay its done! I'm really impressed with the shine on the hair as always-keep it up

hollow eyes that stare forever
hollow eyes that are no better
hollow eyes that own the pain
hollow eyes that are no longer sane
hollow eyes that force you back
hollow eyes that never attack
hollow eyes that have no behavior
hollow eyes that are your savior

reminds me of the Venus painting by....uh, someone famous. Oh well, I'm not an art historian but consider it flattery to be compared to a master.

marcello (Jan 22, 2004)

It's alright, but I think the lighting on the face could use some work (like I mentioned on another piece). More contrast, "lighter lights, darker darks."
Also the face seems somewhat deformed to me, almost cat-like. Maybe the jaw/mouth comes out too far. If you wanted to fix it, you could try moving the neck and back of the jaw forward rather than the whole face back.

I like the flying hair, and her expression is so sad!

Some Knights Don't Save The World

strangeoid (Dec 30, 2003)

Her tears flowed freely as the rain began to pour. The water seemed to desecrate his body, dampening the dark battle field and washing away the endless blood. He died a brave death, but she wished that he had stayed to protect her, and not gone to protect his king.

Toan- Yeah, I was fighting with the bg for a long time, and I just sort of gave up on it. I could give it a little more detail... maybe tomorrow, if I'm still home sick.
Thanks for commenting, guys! This is definitely my favorite of all the pics I've drawn.

angelbate (Jan 22, 2004)

lovely, i like the epic qualities of it, i think due to its deep field of vision. nice colors and the rain is a nice touch.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 23, 2004)

It's raining arrows!! I love it! This is wonderful, can't find a single thing wrong with it - don't you dare change it!

Knockoff (Jan 28, 2004)

Its done.!
Wow, This is very nice.
The rain is cool. I like the flag, and the shading.!!!

Falling

ToraNeko (Jan 21, 2004)

Here I'm falling once more
What perpose do I fall for?
Am I already lost?
Have I paied the cost?
I'll just close me eyes
But is death my true prize?
I want to keep going on
Live the life I've come upon
And so I shall, and so I will
With this power my heart does fill
I fall to unknowing lands
But at least I know my plans

Actually, not quite. Once she gets fast enough for air drag to push it up, it'd push it quite close to the body, at least at the very top of her head. But it's kinda fluffy :)

ToraNeko (Jan 22, 2004)

I kinda wanted this floating falling effect >.< Oh well, I try. The line art came out really scetchy, but it was kind of full with the Background

fleeting_memory (Jan 22, 2004)

well it just looks like she just starting to fall-and that what the poem suggests too...awsome idea and great draw.

Soshell (Jan 22, 2004)

this kinda scared me i didnt expect to see someone upside down! its a cool idea though :)
