Frickin' fantastic, dude.

P.S. I LOVE how you drew his hand and the smoke from the cigarette.

Thanks man!!
i've been trying out different ways of drawing smoke/steam. went pretty ornate with this one ^^

that's what i was gonna say :3 very very nice <3

Oh hell yes. This is a most delighful render.

fuck yesssssssssssssssss

I gotta bring some nibs over. I got a grip of them. I'll go dig them out and tote them over to the studio.

Someone gave me some lithograph crayons and I gave them a try. They sound cool, but they feel like sticky, underpigmented crayolas.

Cool!! i'd love to try some new nibs.
those crayons sound like trying to draw with a turd tho :I

I see what you did there. It's amazing how iconic that circle & double line are

And blue isn't a color I associate with your stuff, but it works nicely. It's fresh, and very pretty!

hahh, thanks :3
i usually end up with horrendously vibrant colors. so it's nice to hear that something's working out, more or less ^^

I'd call this more <3

This little bit of digital goes such a long way! I want to do this to some of my sketches now.

right on! give it a try (:

Lovely :3

Also, that rabbit's expression looks precisely like that on the pickled rabbit-inna-jar my father used to have on a shelf over his desk when I was little. I think he nicked it from the Edinger Institutes's collection or something.

well... now i know your dad is really cool. RABBIT-CORPSE IN A JAR?!!

pretty :3 the circle in the back reminds me of rockwell.

haa, thanks!
i kind of had Leyendecker in mind, but he mostly went with a white background & black lines. oh well ^^

Like Kamui said, that circle, those lines. Really nice little, subtle nod there! And that turquois really kicks off the brown paper. Very keen indeed.

cool! i'm glad you like how it all turned out.
never really sure where things will go once i start tossing color about :/

so so good <3

Thank you!!!

good god, this is wonderful

!! :0

F27 YOU ARE A MONDER


P.S. PLEASE TURN THAT M UPSIDE DOWN WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE

DAMNIT I"M TOO BUSY D:<
It'll just have to be a new word.

Really great.

<3 !!

I like the solid turquoise eye, myself.

you'd better. i colored it in specially for you <3

i also did it 'cause i'm just cool like that

That's a purely classy palette. This'd make a neat tile. :)

The colors in this is just heart-breakingly gorgeous.

I'm in love with the sketchy lines and the colors. I'm just in love with the whole atmosphere of the picture.

thanks!
nice to know i'm bring an enjoyable atmosphere to this site (:

hey pretty

!!!

--Wow. This is easily one of the most impressive anthropomorphic pieces I've seen on this entire archive.

You do so much with simple colors and line-- it's got such an amazing mood.

Makes me wish I was looking at you while you did it. I know, sounds creepy. I'll stop now. XD;

I find artists make 'faces' while they're working on stuff, or muscles start tensing up for no reason. Strangely, for me, I start biting my lip and arching my right foot when I'm working on a real winner.

that smoke makes me want to smoke

GOOD!!!

oh. a reminder, tho i'm pretty sure you're already well aware of this.
tobacco just doesn't produce smoke of that nature ;)

Chills down my spine, I love the feeling of this! Well executed ;]

Very nice, I enjoy it immensely! I think pretty much everyone has all ready summed it up though, hehe.

your work is always phenomenal. love your pen marks

excellence i say!

much obliged!
you are too kind, sir ^^

great stuff, love the sketchiness, the colors, and mmmm the linework on that smoke @w@ fabu

did you use french curves / rulers / circle templates? or are you that amazing that you can freehand perfect circles?

if yes to the former, do you carry them around with you, or did you do this in studio?

I simply adore the, well, the downright designyness of your drawings, and am a little too shaky to freehand it myself...

no i'm not that amazing. for the circle behind his head i used a circle template. & i used a ruler for the two lines. no french curves tho.

save for the bare minimum (sketchbook, some kind of pencil), i dont like toting a ton of shit around with me. i mostly draw at home.

thanks for the props (:

You're art always astounds me to no end. :) I love all of it!

........ <3

btw, i'd like to draw you something... or do a trade if you'd like.
no rush of course. i'm still in the process of finding myself a job :/

Oh! I'd love to do an art trade with you! :D
*thinks long and hard what I am going to draw for ya*
Got any suggestions, or just want it to be a surprise?

always nice to have a surprise in store.
not really sure what i'm gonna draw either, so yeah ^_^

man i love the swirly stuff in this....iconic

Thank you!
yah, i've been doing the swirlies a lot lately (:

You've always made good use of design elements. This, however, feels like the beginning of a new direction. More please! Make that Rockwell fucker spin like a top in his casket.

Like I say I saw this years ago before I knew you and loved this then--I think I even know where I squirreled (bunnied?) the image of it from the first round of viewing. Very Leyendecker!

aw, thanks dude!!
:]

Clever title! I see what you did there! Do like!
I'm a big Leyendecker fan.

>:P
