I love detailed drawings like this, almost as much as I love drawing them myself! Excellent drawing here, very clean, and a very profound subject! Excellent!

thanks very much. You are way too kind : x
These just haven't been in me at the moment. It's very distressing : / What do you do when you want to go OCD on a piece but just can't seem to get t out? gurr.

I love all the lines..

They look so tedious...

annekaretnikov In reply to ZombieLady [2009-04-08 06:56:09 +0000 UTC]

I'm a very nervous, OCD person.... so not only do I feel I MUST finish them, to draw them calms me :3 They may look tedious, but I find in them a strange sort of stress relief.

I'm glad you like it, though.

I love the details here, there's a lot of them, but they're very clear and not confusing!

He is so fancy! very much so XD
I expect he has a hookah and likes expensive cakes and candies *ponders drawing this*

thanks! I worried about the patterns, but people seem to think they're OK :3

MalaPokusa In reply to annekaretnikov [2009-03-12 08:24:04 +0000 UTC]

Hhahahahaha, I'm sure he does! You should draw him full time like that, on pillows and in candy-lust, in real or mini form, would be quite enjoyable, I assure you!

Oh, I can understand, its sometimes hard to use some patterns that won't make the whole picture blend :/ But you did great job <3

I'm very inspired now by this idea, heehe. thanks! XD

people will complain I draw the same looking men all the time, but I can't help it!

haha, don't give a damn, I used to draw the boogeyman or scarecrows all the time XD and now I still draw undeads, eve though they're much different from one antoher, they're still the same undeads XD

annekaretnikov In reply to MalaPokusa [2009-03-12 08:46:31 +0000 UTC]

hehe, yes, and you have many fans it seems, so maybe I should not worry XD
I used to have some fans, but they wandered off! I was inactive on DA for so long.

MalaPokusa In reply to annekaretnikov [2009-03-12 08:48:57 +0000 UTC]

Well, my pals visit me every now and then, hard to exactly call them fans(I don't know, maybe I'm just modest XD), but I'm glad more and more people notice me because I have a style that hits their taste in long-faced eerie guys XD
Don't worry, they'll get back to you :}

annekaretnikov In reply to MalaPokusa [2009-03-12 08:51:13 +0000 UTC]

maybe I just tease with the word fan XD but the boogeyman thing did get a lot of fanart! XD

Mine? I think maybe they died or something D:
hahah.

maybe they will come back from the dead?
zombie pals would be interesting.

MalaPokusa In reply to annekaretnikov [2009-03-12 15:33:49 +0000 UTC]

hahaa, it did! Because who doesn't like an eerie fellow in a tophat, going hot for a regular-type of girlie? Gives you hope that you can become such a "happy" girlie! XD

Zombie pals would be SO cool, you know. You could have them threaten the bullies - that's what I would do at, least XD

jonlaing [2009-03-08 21:55:49 +0000 UTC]

those textures are badass. I also like the little ornate frame around it. I noticed that a lot of your sketches have these kinds of meticulous patterns, but I haven't noticed it much in your class work... I think you should change that, I'm a big fan.

annekaretnikov In reply to jonlaing [2009-03-08 22:02:30 +0000 UTC]

heh, thanks Jon.

I don't usually have an excuse (or sometimes the time) to do these sorts of patterns.. I got them in a little bit in the background of the little red riding hood one.

I'll keep your advice in mind- if you think so, it's probably a good idea *ponders*
