Description
In the deepest of darkness, there is light. In the purest of lights, there is darkness.-------------------------------------------------------
Another 100 themes challenge pic! This one comes with the other twin : light twin. They were originally both on the same paper but I cut them (lol me and my habit of cutting my pics XD ). You can see them together or seperatly. I put them seperatly because the resolution of the pic is better that way (you can see more details). The concept of the pic is that in light there's darkness and in darkness there's light. So I put the dark kid in light. Also, since light and dark are like two faces of the same coin, they are both the reflection of the other. And the dark kid has a demon wing because..well..I felt like it XD And light had one so he had to have one too XD
I, yet again, made many mistakes. I spread ink on his face by erasing the pencil lines when the ink was still dry. I thought it was dry because I had inked it like hours ago BUT IT STILL WASN'T DRY D8 I tried to correct it with my eraser but it just made things worse. So at first I really hated it and was super-uber pissed off. I was even more pissed off than with the light boy because before my mistakes it was perfect >< But now I'm just whatever XD
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!! Hope you have a great holiday
You can consider those two pics like my x-mas presents to you guys ^^ Done with ink and black marker.
Btw I uploaded them in the wrong order. Light is supposed to be on the right and Dark on the left. That way it makes more sense XD Sorry ^^

Thanks. Well I like drawing boys with innocent faces these days XD (I fear I'm turning into a pedophile 0_0 XD) The mistakes I was talking about is that there are ink splatters on his face (near the right eyebrow). And the proportion in my works isn't always good. But he's young so that's why he isn't well proportionated? XD I made his shirt a bit too long too. And his legs. But he looks better that way in my opinion ^^ Makes him look cuter, no? XD

yeah I like your cute style !!

Ah lol thanks ^^ Well I think since we both draw manga-style, there is no need for perfect proportions. Sometimes pictures with wrong proportions can be pretty. Just look at Clamp's work (like tsubasa or xxxholic). It's great *_*

yah... Clamp's veryveryvery awesome

Yeah ^^ But Tsubasa and XXXHolic are less good than usual these days >< It's sad

Ya. I just started understanding the Tsubasa plot too. It's really complicated XD

I liked his expression so much! It looks like that everyone starts looking at him and whispenning, and he thinks "er, what? Did someone tell a joke? Did I something wrong?". He does not know what happened, but he thinks that it may not be good and doesn't know why.
It's like if darkness itself was just as normal as any other concept, but its "evil" apparence creates this reaction of aversion.
Or it is just the cuteness that you put in your drawings, .p
(Your boyish body and eyes are really cute)
Or I'm just a weird person that tries to get sense from artistic drawings.
(or all the three /o\'

Oh, and happy
Woah thanks you for the great comment! Your reflections are always so deep and interesting. It makes me realize a lot of things about my works that I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me
Well I think that the concept of dark isn't evil. It's because we are scared of the thing that might lie in the darkness (and that we can't see) that we called it evil. Light isn't necessarly good either. Too much light burns your eyes D:
I also wish you a merry x-mas ^^

Ha, thanks!
It isn't my fault if your drawings allow this interpretations =].
Well, it's said that good artist first creates, then meets his creation.
[Ok, maybe it wasn't actually said, but it is just to stylish (and true, as we see here) that I had to say >D]

Yes, I agree. Darkness is seen as evil because we don't know what is in it, and what is not known is feared... sadly. The great ages of advance in World History occured when was realized that it is better explore and learn "the darkness" than fear it.
Haha, yep, Light is just as good as Darkness is evil. People usually prefer what is easy to see, but if you stay in the light, you'll never see the shadows.

ok, ok, now I'll stop to do these giant pseudo-philosophic posts, I almost promise.

I'll be waiting your next drawings! .]

You're welcome ^^ I had never heard the quote : "good artist first creates, then meets his creation. " before. It's a really nice and true quote ^^ Btw I really like your giant pseudo-philosofic post (like you call them) XD It's different from the normal comment you can see on dA. It's cool 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay!
Ha, the problem of those random quotes is that I never know who exactly said it... well, I did, at least .p
And, haha, did I manage to be more deviant than the the deviants in general? Niiice xD
--
Nah, artists are never stupid (Or, at least, they can ever have an excuse for justify it). In the worst case, they can claim that the critic did not understand their works because it is too conceptual... and so on /o.
But, nevermind, I do believe that your next ones will be as beautiful and cute as these. If they appear to be weird also, it will be even better xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep you are very deviant
Ah lol XD It's just that my newest pics are not very deep. They're just meant to be cute or scary or funny
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, they definitly are!
They became original specially because you manage to put your ideas and themes in this cute style, but without lose their basis. Like, they do not became just happy big-eyed/small-mouthed pretty characters, they keep what you were trying to express.
I note this specially because I can't do it xD
(The few times when I tried to draw in manga style, or the characters became too archetypical, or they are just not manga nor cool nor beautiful. ._.'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well at the beginning my characters were super archetypical too. Before you can draw something original or with meaning, you need to understand the basiscs of drawing. It's only once you get a hold of your style that you start expressing yourself better. It takes a lot of time and practice though. I stoped drawing archetypical about last year, I think ^^ And manga-style doesn't fit everybody either ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, you're plain right. Pretty much like every language: you need to learn it before you can express what you want completely. And, if a language is a "system to express ideas", Arts are definitly into the definition.
My problem(or excuse, .P) is normally time, though... and I can survive without drawing well, specially if I can express me with other tools. And, more than that, there are people (i.e., you xD) that draw well, so, Humanity will not die due to lack of artists .p'
And, yeah, manga normally does not fit me very well... nor do the manual arts, I think >

Ha, I hope you keep your progress and, specially, your pratice, because your works are already very beautiful and with many singular traits =] (keep doing these facial and corporal expressions in your characters, pleease!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup art is my way of expressing myself, since I'm a shy and antisocial person who doesn't like to talk much (except on the computer and with my friends). Sometimes art is even better than speach I think. To see something laid down on paper can help us understand it more, since we see it with a different point of view. But there are a lot of different kinds of art so everybody can find something that fits them ^^ Or even create it
Yes I will keep working hard. I loove drawing ^^ I do it all the time (especially during classes XD ) It's a real passion and I want to keep doing it in the future ^^
