Description I love watercolors
The variety in watery or saturated colors is so fun to play with!!!

I was in a surprisingly good mood last night but for some reason made this piece lol
Describing that feeling you get when you just think "oh my god... somebody shoot in me the head" when you are at work wayyyy too long or are incredibly irritated lol

I know you all get that feeling, don't you lie to me now

Kind of reminds me of vampire though... hmmm

This was made 100% traditionally, no textures added. Used watercolors (I have the cheapest ones EVER lol I think it was 5$ for a pack of ten colors), black ink, and white acrylic paint.

AmaZing. Had to take a second look.
No editting, just watercolors and some ink and acrylic.
WOW.
Simply wow.
I have no paint or papers right now (Just moved) soooo I need to go to WalMart for some cheapo stuff, lol.
It's all I use anyhow.

But this is great.
I need to get back to the basics for a while.

GREAT JOB AGAIN =]]

Thank youuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!

What a sweet comment!! I LOVE doing art with cheap materials (but it's nice having both qualities around)
It's extra cool when you see a sweet pencil crayon drawing only to find out it was made with the crappiest dollar store pencils

I love how even through the blood and such, the person's face isn't "death" or "depression" it's just "annoyed". It makes this piece actually more smilish then loss of hope. Good job!

illogan In reply to GothxFairy [2009-08-18 20:41:59 +0000 UTC]

lol that's awesome! I thoguht something looked off when I was going for the whole 'depressed death' kind of thing, but she does look annoyed which is what I wanted the overall piece to show.
lol
my hand knows better than my brain maybe?

durhh
