Description So take this night,
Wrap it around me like a sheet,
I know I'm not forgiven,
But I need a place to sleep.
So take this night,
And lay me down on the street,
I know I'm not forgiven,
But I hope that I'll be given some peace.

Black Lab - This Night

It all makes sense in my head, somehow. He says his name is Centerleft. Left of Center.

---

Eugh, secondthirdfourthfifth draft of an image that just didn't want to be completed. Based entirely off of a mental picture that I had been struggling to properly illustrate.

I draw far too many nighttime images.

Yes, that is a yield sign for a face.

Critiques discouraged because it's a highly personal piece and I'd rather not have its flaws highlighted and torn apart.

And thanks for 40K pageviews everyone!

You say that you draw too many night time settings, I'd say people drw too much day and night time drawings, if you catch my drift

Great feeling to this!

The slightly creepy hanging orange glows of the jellyfish. The concerned clutching pose of the dragon. Not to mention its awesome design ^^

There's something almost Silent Hill-ish about this critter. Yield sign for face= win.

you know what i love about this piece. it's that even though the colours are realistic, it looks painted. it's not aiming for exact realism, and it's wonderful. lovely work here!

Silver-Comet [2007-06-03 01:52:28 +0000 UTC]

Wow, how have I not commented on this?

And what can I say, besides Wow. The lighting [the jellyfish by the way is quite interesting], the musculature, the flexy fun of Centerleft [I'm sorry, but it's true xD]. It's so well done it almost like he's a real creature [though that remains to be seen as to whether he is or not, eh?]

I love this picture and for some reason I haven't commented on it yet, I can't describe how much I like it ._.

GearOtter In reply to Letdragon [2007-06-02 01:53:21 +0000 UTC]

His full name is Centerleft[Left of Center], but Centerleft for short. Due to a bizarre twist of fate, he was left with a yield sign for a face; while he cannot physically see, his other senses are heightened enabling him to travel throughout his world without any sort of issues.
