EverDream (Aug 7, 2003)
"...Down pour on my soul. Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control. Dark sky all around, I can't feel my feet touching the ground. But if I can't swim after forty days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves, Lift me up so high that I can not fall Lift me up.- When I'm falling, Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying, Lift me up - I need you to hold me, Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again..."

Inspiration from 'Jars of Clay'

if I had to draw the two angels that I saw at my bedside when I was really sick with pneumonia, they would look like this, only more concerned looking... but they were this heavenly blue color.. it was so weird... I've often thought about drawing them but didn't think I could do it

reminds me of old magazine illustrations, or cartooning style, with that foreshortening effect.maybe it's the face and nose,too.but very much drowning effect, alright,and reminded me instantly of Michelle Pfieffer (?spelling) movie where her husband has killed,drowned his other wife.

this is particularly a difficult type of scene to depict.from films, & photos of a body, & face drowning,the light diffusion from above, thru the water,can be tricky, & have strange effects, shadows that are hard to predict.

while this is good,(yes, very nice blue)I myself would want to use a real photo,film,or even a model somehow to see how the depth of water,clearness,ect., affects the overall picture. (we have had artists, here, who did some very good depictions of bodies submerged, and i don't know how they did it;it's hard.) so, yes, pretty good and ambitious. If you're still interested, there are movies with drowning,or deepwater scenes of bodies worth studying.any experiences from life, swimming, diving, or just underwater could be helpful.(quite a coup you got marcello to comment.:) ) yep, this is a particularly difficult type of scene to paint; i think it's good. (sorry if I seem too analytical, i'm used to being that way on myself.)

For the face a reference was used.

Would one be able to make an offline version of Shi-Painter?

*twitch* Hamtaroooooo....*twitch twitch*. Oh well, putting my issues aside, Its a good picture. The background kinda got neglected (not that I'm any better), but still. It's nice.
Gothic_Otaku (Sep 6, 2003)
Nice-like coloring, nice-like characters, nice-like shapes, not nice-like non-existing layers. ^^P
Korean_Pride (Sep 6, 2003)
I have nothing against Hamtaro :P. That's amazing lineart....... I wish I could do that. I'm beginning to suspect the use of geometric shapes.... perhaps not a bad idea.

u shouldve seen some of my earlier drawing, man were they strange. but that circle maker does come in handy!! ;D

Chickens in Zelda games are just plain evil. I mean, you hit them once, twice . . . thirty times and they all gang up on you. How rude! Someone should teach them the basic playground etiquette.

When I saw this drawing I actually thought it was done by a n00b. Looks exactly how they would draw. Quite an achievement Axil.

I was well into your description when I started wondering about suspecting that perhaps maybe something by chance could've possibly may have been fishy.

Axil62 (Apr 14, 2004)
This was not so much about getting it "correct" as it was about just trying to convey a feeling, a memory of summers past, an innocence. The colors seemed brighter then and the sun was warm and comfortable, not hot and beating. There were still mysteries to investigate and legends still not proven false. My bike was shiny and new, I was fast as the wind on that thing, there was happiness and hope. Details weren't the point and if someone told me something was impossible, I doubted it.

I got pissed off here a while back, acted like a two year old, threw a fit and blacked em out. No I don't show anything anywhere, I mostly end up just giving it away. I've sold a few but I have no dicipline so I hardly ever paint for real anymore. But I'm going to soon, it's comming, the urge is growing, just not quite yet.
dixielandcutie (Apr 14, 2004)
i think this is my favorite of all yours...you are really an amazing artist
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 14, 2004)
pssst... Pandora... alot of them were totally great on the second to last view, you can click on that and still see them. Some of my favorites here are in his gallery and I still go there and look at them like that. :)

Trying to be the least offensive but why is this in the showcase?
It doesn't really...look like it fits.

backmagicwoman (Dec 4, 2010)
It's a showcase entry.
dorothyblueeyes (Dec 17, 2010)
i like the hand and face type cartoony-yet-wierd-creepy ness. Nice. Uh...I'm not sure why something gets into showcase,or does not. I never was,and never will. Yeah, the concept and work is pretty cool.
