Description Long time no see. Been busy and ultra tired. Because of that I'm basically in somewhat of an artblock. First serious picture I've done since......well my bubbles of innocence pic and that was a few days short of a month ago.

Anyhoo.........

Yes, it's named after the Gazette song, if you caught that, which actually gave me the original idea for this. I came up with the original idea which was slightly different than this awhile back. I was listening to the song a couple of days ago and drew whatever while looking at a few pictures for inspiration. I'm really happy about this picture actually.


Don't ask questions cause even I don't know the story or anything. For once, I haven't a clue about a picture. Yeah....so we get to use our imaginations.


Been wanting to use colored pencils for awhile so I did for this picture. For once it isn't marker or digital.


Now under 100 themed challenge as Fortitude.

Materials:
Prisma colored pencils
Prismas markers (just for border- there is actually a 3rd border but couldn't fit entire pic into scanner)
Stadler inking pens
Photoshop CS3 for touchups

Time: few hours for coloring and less than that for drawing I believe

Music:
Gazette: Nausea and Shudder, Burial Applicant, Cockroach
Deadman: Additional Cause for Sorrow

I really like the compositions and your style. Your choice of colours is good but you can improve the textures. I wish there was more of an overall smoothness to the picture. For example, look at the blue around his face, it looks much more "finished" or professional, I guess. You don't have to do the whole thing like that, but more would be nice. Especially on the stuff coming from his mouth, it would just look a lot more flowing and better if there were darker/smoother parts.

Same with the purple in the bg on the left. The lines are a bit distracting and look sort of scribbled. What I think you should do is buy a cheaper brand of colored pencil to use on larger, plainer areas. You can layer your Prismacolors on top of that. Instead of pressing hard to get a smooth layer, just lightly layer two similar colours...white can make it look blended, too.

Ya know, this has a really cool feel about it. I dont' know the song but it looks like he is exhaling something elemental. It reminds me of some ancient drawing of how the earth or how people were formed.
