Description I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

-Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day
_____________________________

I don't listen to Green Day much anymore but this song popped up on my iTunes and I was suddenly inspired. I've always liked the song despite how overplayed it is..oh well.
Been awhile since I submitted anything and I'm still not very good at using photoshop but I continue to learn new things. This is the result of lots of experimenting and I don't think it failed too bad.

Oh boy... okay, so I just got out of physics, so excuse me if the following comment is not in any way intelligent or coherent:
Essentially, I agree with Jonny: this really is one of your best so far. The perspective and shading are awesome. I especially like the denim jacket and the Van Gogh-esque sky. Very lovely, very lovely.

And as for the sad v. lonely debate (haha, I always read all the comments), I understand what you mean. Although to me the song does feel sad, I do think that being lonely is not necessarily a bad thing; sometimes you just need to be alone. Perhaps what mortal-rot is debating is the difference between loneliness and aloneness, because I suppose the two do have different connotations.

In any case, I'm not sure what I'm talking about anymore. Great work, as usual, although I do need my tablet back at some point lol.

I really like this one too, I invented a new awesome shading style for it. I gave up on that discussion about the song though cuz we were kinda both right in our own respects.

Oh and I'm holding your tablet for a ransom. If you ever want to see it alive again leave 10,000 dollars in my locker by next friday.

Thanks it took a lot longer to do all that shading but I like it better too. I also feel like it was more well drawn.

nice pic, i like the song
although how does the song fit the pic? other than hes literally WALKING down a lonely road. what im getting at is he doesnt look sad so much as he looks creeped out, it doesnt fit, sorry
still well done though, i like his colors

crazyartistchef In reply to Mortal-Rot [2010-04-30 01:29:22 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I like the thought you put into that but, to be honest I don't think he needs to be sad. The lyrics don't really hint at sadness, just loneliness, which I don't think are the same. However the interpretation is all up to you.

Mortal-Rot In reply to crazyartistchef [2010-04-30 19:23:32 +0000 UTC]

no prob, but to me loneliness is inheritly sad, whens the last time you saw a lonely happy person?
being lonely is a negative thing associated with other negative emotions.
"sad lonely man" ever heard that exspression? i know i have
i mean some of the lines are "i walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams"
broken dreams not happy

not trying to have an argument here just meerly exspressing my opinion on the matter

Haha well you made some good points. I guess for me loneliness can actually be kind of nice when you want it, which may be more along the lines of this pic.

im just meerly stating the obvious is all, since its super apparent

thats all, nothing like.. "well yeah i drew a f***ing fox go check him out turkey!"

i mostly draw wolves
or bats..
or monsters...

haha omg i hate it when people do that. lol

I really do like to draw a ton of stuff in addition to foxes but I'm too lazy to post most of it cuz then I'd have to color it all. I take forever to color stuff plus my scanner is currently on its deathbed so it doesn't work.

For some reason and theres like three instances of it on the computer, I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with it.. I guess my computer just hates me.

crazyartistchef In reply to Mortal-Rot [2010-05-15 04:55:12 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha well i guess the problem isn't the comp its the scanner. I'm broke and can't get a new one so unless a scanner falls out of the sky I'm stuck. And it fell out of the sky it would break when it hit the ground anyway. lol

Mortal-Rot In reply to crazyartistchef [2010-05-15 20:07:59 +0000 UTC]

it would break once it hit the ground, unless you tried to catch it. but then it would probably hit your head and give you some kind of concussion so im not sure it would be worth it
well if you need money you could always do commissions here on this happy site(remember big boobs sell!)
or you could whore yourself out to 1000 fat chicks for 50 bucks each.
or whore yourself out to 50 REALLY fat chicks for 1000 bucks each.

what? dont look at me like that, fat chicks need love too. but they gotta pay

Lol drawing busty fat chicks sounds awesome but I don't think anybody would ever buy anything from me ever though. I'm not that good.
