More from Koh-I-Noor
If you were the sun would you believe in death?
Nothing visible here is exceptional but I'm rather satisfied. As I basically made this piece up from the start to finish (with the basic idea figured out beforehand) there were many possibilities of ruining it, most of which I could avoid.
In some parts there's a distinct gap between what I had intended and what I could execute. Due to the nature of this drawing any corrections after applying the first layer of color was out of question, it would have clearly shown.
My scanner couldn't fit the whole image, therefore some centimeters are missing here and there and the line where the two separate scans were put together is visible but I decided to leave it there, it's not that much of a distraction.
Enjoy or verbally tear to pieces, it's up to you =D

Not only does this have a great amount of texture, the details are clear and the lines are sharp. They cross the volumes of the figures constantly both to shade in cells and also create volume and dimension, like polygons. This reads well to me, like it was made from different kinds of strange exotic ices.
Maldoror made me realize how much power Surrealism can have on your mind when written. Mindbending imagery is one thing but reading sometimes opens doors beyond what the eyes can touch. It seems like you have a more active role, or rather submissive role in the artist's hands.
Film on the other hand has the advantage of manipulating you with music and dictating the speed. If a book makes you nauseous you just close it.
Although I rarely had any problems in finishing a book, with the exception of a novel we read in 6th grade about a family's life after an atomic war. No horror novel past or present ever came that close to robbing my sleep.

I grew up at the height of the Cold War years and suffered terrible nightmares about The Day It Finally Happens. For that reason, I doubt that I could have handled such a book in the 6th grade... or the 7th... or the 8th... or....
>>Mindbending imagery is one thing but reading sometimes opens doors beyond what the eyes can touch.
My credo. :)

It was definitely too much for our young minds, some of us didn't finish the novel and nobody made fun of them.
I was born in the final years of the cold war and therefore can't fully fathom the fear of that era, although growing up in the former border area was paired with some reminders. Drill holes filled with explosives to render streets or entire areas impassable e.g.
A relative of mine was the head of the local police department for decades and had offered some interesting insights into emergency plans in case of an invasion from the neighboring city, which happened to be behind the curtain.

Yes, it is quite a strange feeling in many ways. Though generally I can't quite make up my mind on what to think and feel about having grown up in this particular spot on the map and with this particular nationality. It's emotionally confusing to say the least.
btw, I assume you have seen this place before:

it made me realize we, all of us, could have been off so much worse.

the "shadow" on the cheeks of the jizo and the statue's base are from that day

Given that freedom, I'll choose to enjoy. :)
I like the composition, the inverted C with cluttered details on one side, clean open space on the other.
The one criticism I would offer is that there can be ways to colour details so that the most important stand out for the eye, and the least important are less prominent but remain to be discovered.
But all the same, these details are interesting, and that makes the picture worth staring at.
Welcome back! And thank you for this art!
