creepy,gloomy, and a hint of i'm might die

I think the hair turned out to be my favorite part, it ended up looking dry and coarse and bristly, just like I'd pictured it.

this is so rad.

at first look at the thumb I thought it might be Skull warGreyMon from Digimon.

...that might be the coolest thing you've ever uploaded. Seriously, I freaking love it.

Those hand-talons are the greatest things ever. Holy moly.

A version of the song "Kiss me" by New Found Glory came on the radio just as I read the description. The song, combined with the term "romantic lead" put giggle inducing images in my mind.

Superb texture and tonal range, I wish I could do that. Dx

I have to resist the urge not to always make shadows pure black and highlights pure white. At least for this picture, that ended up working out.

I like the effect, I must learn some of these secrets.

ARGH i love your work.
Creepy as FUCK but very very cool design.

Masterful detail O.O VERY realistic looking, awesome!

Creepy cool, I like the design. It's not as simple as it first seems though, that makes it all the more appealing. Great artwork, so real!

Wait... WHAT?
I must read this book.
Awesome pic, btw. Good composition!

o.o

Scary!

YES.

Very awesome

A fever dream.. perfect inspiration for such a beast.
Astounding work. The skin texture is amazing!

wow..just...wow. How do you sleep?

I love his skin texture, so crepey (not "creepy" but crepe-like and thin) and loose-looking. Great hair on that thing, too.

I don't know how the hair turned out so well. Sometimes I actually impress myself. It came out just like I wanted, like coarse sheaves of hay.

Sweet! I love it when my digital art does that- when I can figure out a new way to get a good effect. Found a nice way to get decent scales for critters that looks pretty good. I think digital art is forcing me to learn how properly use light in the sense of where it should go... My stuff had usually looked rather flat 'cuz I rarely used shading. Now, I'm getting a more 3-D feel going, finally! It's the little details that can make or break a piece...

It's true, very true. I can only concentrate on hue or shading, not both at the same time, which is why my real-life painting sucks. Computers let me do the two in different stages, and as a result my drawing is much better.

Yup- I have the same problem- I get lost in the overall piece, because I'm obsessively concentrating on a small part of it. That, and If I mess something up, I can FIX it in a digital piece! Gods, I mess up a LOT of my traditional pieces... Art-supplies are just too damned expensive for me to make those mistakes on traditional art...

Damn straight! Since when was Sculpey $14 a log, jeebus?!

Great Googly Moogly! That is expensive, especially since that's in US$. Back home, a one pound log cost about 15$ Canadian, so yours should have only cost maybe 12$, depending on when you looked at prices. O__O

Yeah, art-supplies are insanely costly. I try to find them at the cheapest prices I can, and so far, ebay or Dick Blick's Art Materials have been my best bets. I got a twelve piece set of Prismas for less than twenty bucks. Individual markers cost me 4.99 back home (roughly 3.00 here) and I still got my Prismas for 1.99 a marker at Dick Blick's online store. They also have knock-off materials that may be just as good, but I haven't tried them yet- those are even cheaper. I can thank my husband for the deal-hunting online- he buys stuff all the time from the Net, and finds the most amazing deals. Blows me away, how much a street-front store has to mark up their product in order to pay off things like rent on the store site. Overhead REALLY eats into a business' profits. I'm glad more businesses are going the Net route; FAR cheaper to maintain a website and pay for warehouse space so they can keep their prices down- they get the business on volume, then, instead of jacking their prices up.

It also helps me out a lot, 'cuz then I don't have to raise MY prices for my jewelry and art, just because I'm now paying a lot less on materials, even without a wholesaler's license. Now, I mostly just charge for the time and design work. >^__^<

Serious.

Yeah, I noticed how"grey flannel suit" that all sounded... but AFTER I'd posted it. *cackles* Oh well, it was till cool to get some new Prismas so cheap- I had a lot of colours that were running low and didn't give good coverage in my art anymore.

Hahahahah, no, but I understand. I need to start doing more shopping online, for fur especially. The Hancock fabric used to carry little rolls of all kinds of random weird furs just the right size for one little critter, but now all they have is a couple of ugly colors and this crappy curly stuff that sheds all over the place.

Ugh. I can't stand crappy-quality faux furs. I also can't stand ending up breathing that stuff into my mouth while I'm working with it. Bleaagggh. That's my only beef when I make partials for folks- the fuzz-attacks that get into my nose, all over my face and I can't get it off... Heh.

You could ear a surgical mask, I reckon.

Me, I love sculpting but I cannot STAND the feel of clay on my hands.

I do wear a mask- it helps a little, but I still get fuzz in my face, eyes, etc. I actually like how clay feels, except when it's dry powder that I have to mix with water- like the cellu-clays or plaster I sometimes use. Don't know what it is about the texture, but it gives me goosebumps and I want to stop touching it...

deliciously evil. badass work

THESE TEXTURES ARE REFRESHING
