NICE JOB!

Certainly.
I'm curious, how long did this take you to do, roughly?

i think just two nights...I could be wrong though. It's been a long time since that was finished!! lol

Amazing picture! I really like your style. How did you do the shading if you don't mind me asking? I've been trying to get this look for awhile.

thankyou so much. And i just used a normal pencil for this one. I didn't have my 9B through H pencils like i have now. I scanned my pencil drawing of this and kinda tweeked the hues a bit to give it a Sepia look to it.

...or am I reading this wrong? Is this a "doll hospital"?
I'd love to hear details about what kind of pencil(s) you used. Good ol' #2 (HB), or ....?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i only used my #2 Pencil. I have like 2 good graphite sets with every kind of pencil, but i always leave them at home, and i made this at school. I haven't gotten around to using my good pencils that much though. I Prolly need to get on that.. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me too- I'm stuck on #2.
I have even less excuse than you:
I carry a backpack with a big pencil case, filled with kneaded erasers, one pencil, and a handful of various-width black marker pens.
Really, w should both get in the habit of using hard, lightcolored pencils for the first few lines, and soft dark pencils to deepen the shadows on the finished drawing. The alternative is to do a lot of clean-up and darkening/lightening digitally after scanning.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, this is true. lol it would be allot more professional, but for some reason i just love my #2 pencils.
I do plan on getting into those nice pencils eventually though. just not now. lol

haha but your definitely not when it comes to writing big long messages! lol I enjoy them

OMG, the spider-hands are stealing the ragdoll's heart?
I don't mean to be funny, but this really tugs at the heart-strings. The ragdoll reminds me of the teddy-bear I cherished from age three to 18.
(At 18, my engineering-major roommates at college decided to do "centripetal force tests" and "inelastic collision tests" when they found out I still had a childhood toy.

AWWWW 
lol
The spider hands are actually fixing the torn heart that some careless being inflicted upon it.
I got the idea from watching coraline (

Hmmm... have you seen the movie [link] "9"? The short version is better than the long version, if you have a choice.
Most of the characters look a lot like your drawing. They're animated ragdolls. Even the heart, losing it and gaining it again, are part of the plot.
Great minds think alike, eh?
My "childhood friend" lost and regained so many body parts, he had more patch stitches than original stitches, by the time I was 18. He even lost his "heart": a heavy music box that got crushed and then removed when I clocked my older brother with it during a fight. I kept the working part of the music box separately for a long, long time, finally making a new box from driftwood to house it.
Have you ever run a kids' "doll hospital"? I used to do it regularly, doing my best to fix jewelry too...mostly by stitching the dolls and bears, and re-bending the links of broken necklaces and bracelets. Good times... *sigh*.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha
Ya i have seen 9
lol ya, i noticed that they look allot alike. I promise i started drawing these guys WAY before "9" came along! lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A good pair of needlenose pliers ( a couple of dollars in any five-and-dime), a bright light, and a magnifying glass solve most broken necklace and bracelet problems.
Yes, I too saw and didn't much like "9". I've forgotten why-- probably something about its politics or religion, because the art and animation were certainly attractive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the main problem with it was it was kinda boring. I loved the animation in it though!!! And it had a good plot, but it didn't move fast enough and i don't think they did a good job on making the characters very entertaining. I'm not saying i wanted them to start dancing and making jokes all the time, but i just didn't care about them as much as i thought i would have. Oh, and about the jokes part, the movie didn't really have a comic relief, so that part was kinda weird too. I don't know. I just feel like the whole thing was really sloppy. Someone told me that Tim Burton didn't actually write the story, so that could have been a contributing factor to the movie's suckiness. This part was my fault, but i kinda started daydreaming towards the ending of the movie and totally missed part of the climax. lol So for a few minutes, i was totally lost until my then-boyfriend (now ex) caught me up on what i missed out on. lol oh, and the ending felt slightly dissappointing.
ok, so that was my murdering of this movie. lol
your thoughts?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought that the characters were nicely differentiated, both in personality and in body-type. Although they served the same function and came from the same engineer's hand, they all had different ways up zipping their suits up (zippers, buttons, etc.), different body types (thin, fat, energetic, ancient).
The thing that reeeeeally annoyed me, was how they passed off this alchemist's NONSENSE as "science". WTF...a writer shouldn't call the main character a scientist and whine about his souls and voodoo dolls, in the same breath.
I get really cheesed off at the modern trend of constantly mislabeling of superstition, ghost stories, and churchlady nonsense as "science fiction".
Science fiction should dwell on real and speculative engineering, real science, and the awe caused by exploration and discovery...not voodoo and someone discovering Christian demons on the moon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I really like that part about them too. I was pointing them out while i was watchin it with my then-boyfriend. lol. I liked the buttons.
hahahaha!!! Thats funny! i never noticed that. lol
ya, i think they should have called this family or drama. But this is like War of the Worlds, and since i think that one's in Science fiction, they'd have to through that into that category as well.
oh, and i'm a christian, so no calling christianity a myth please
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm an unapologetic atheist/agnostic.
I see the value in objectivity, but I don't see the value in respecting the borders of poor critical thinking... so either we don't talk about christianity, or y'hear me calling it a placebo taking the place of clear thinking, like believing in Santa rather than figuring out who really puts the presents under the tree.
(I'm fairly certain that it's a lumberjack union that puts the presents under the tree. It must be a way of assuaging the guilt of chopping down all those innocent conifers.

You're kidding, I hope.
Faith is not a virtue. It's an excuse to give up on reasoning, and so it's as destructive as pretending that sawdust is medicine.
I require proof -- something better than 2,000 years of people who couldn't agree in all that time whether judaism, buddhism, christianity, roman gods, greek gods, or islam was the "true" religion. What I see is that most people believe because their parents and their community told them to believe, and a few people actually think they had a religious experience. But...even the ones who think they heard a voice from the sky can't agree about who's the real god(s).
I see a lot of people pretending that the bible holds some scientific truth, but they seem to be in full retreat from anything that looks like scientific evidence.
As history, the bible fails miserably. For example, it gives two completely contradictory ways for how Jesus was related to the tribe of David. The two "books" in the new testament which give lineages to prove that point...don't even share a single name in their lineages, and one is twice as long as the other.
We can't even prove that Jesus was a real person; the "books" were written 300 years after he was supposed to have lived.
As for moral lessons from religion or a dusty old book, I've read books that present evidence for the bible advocating both sides of dozens of arguments, like whether slavery, multiple wives, war, and divorce are right or wrong.
With all that room for doubt, there's no room for trusting the evidence.

So where are you going after you die?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not "going" anywhere. My chemical and electrical reactions will mostly cease while leeetle bacteria take over and daisies take root in my coffin lid.
The idea of an "eternal reward" seems like an immense excuse for asking the masses to tolerate the intolerable... literally, to be led like sheep.
Let's not let go of the idea that the world's oldest religions are in complete disagreement about souls and afterlife, so we can't conveniently say "if there's an afterlife, then it must be the judeo-christian version".
Buddhists, for example, think that your soul forgets its previous lives and gets recycled, moving up or down the food chain as a reward for good or bad behavior in a previous life. Mess up, and you come back as a dog. Behave well, and come back as a member of the scholarly or warrior class of the society instead of a member of the "untouchable" pooper-scooper level of society.
Buddhism came into being 500 years before Jesus put on diapers.
Hundreds of other religions believe that there's no "place to go" when you die. Instead, you hang around like grandparents doing the babysitter thing, spooking and guiding your descendants.
To me, it all seems like a lot of hooey built around wishful thinking and an extension of the childhood concept that when Mommy leaves the room, she still exists. The chemical reactions that make humans think, cats walk, and trees blossom are, in my opinion, not provably more than simple physics.
Visions of a tunnel with a light at the end are simply an effect of the brain dying, like the spots you see before you pass out.
Why would you believe anyone's story that there's more? Really... isn't it silly to believe in a flying heaven in the clouds, people with wings, and eternal judgment based on something as odd as whether you believed in a bible that you may never have even SEEN in your lifetime?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
your right. No one knows for sure. But think hypothetically, all this christian stuff is true. Wouldn't you rather stay on the safe side rather than take your chances with hell?
And lets avoid novel length replies please.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's nothing "safe" about assuming that christianity's true.
It would mean giving up on making one's own moral rules...just accepting what some dusty priest and dusty book says rather than thinking for myself.
Also, what you're saying is called "Pascal's wager", and it's a deeply flawed way of thinking because it assumes that the only choices are being an amoral atheist or being a moral christian. It ignores that a moral atheist might be saved; it ignores that muslims outnumber christians (so, democratically, becoming a member of Islam would be safer than becoming christian); it ignores that I'd be BEHAVING like a christian, not BELIEVING. It ignores that there are a hundred types of christian, and no guarantee that they all (or any of'em) get saved.
Pascal's wager also assumes that christian behavior is moral and good. I'd argue that it's not: it teaches people to be meek followers, and intolerant of other religions. Millions of people have been killed and persecuted under the name of christianity.
The "safe" side is that I do my own decision making, and ignore any religion that values the faith and following-skills of a SHEEP. There's nothing "safe" about a religion that tells you "don't think for yourself; just follow the shepherd. Believe and follow without proof".
I'll be an atheist/agnostic until a god signs the Moon, to let all people know that he exists and that his is the only true religion.

I'm using polite logic while you're using an insult and emotion to avoid thinking outside your faith. Use your brain, not your venom.

well i'm sorry that the only time i get on the computer is after midnight and by that time, i really don't feel like putting up with some bullshit from a fuckin aethiest.

No bullshit.
Take your emotions out of the equation and take a look at the logic and the facts.
