Description
A piece I did in art at the beginning of the year......it started out as just a still-life of a smashed egg, but then I got some blood on it. Instead of tossing it, I improvised!
The lighting is a bit off because of the camera, and room lighting and whatnot...but you get the gist of it. ^^

Oh my HOly Hell!!
This is just... Its so good its "i cant belive this isnΒ΄t real butter" good.
The idea of the whole pice is (for me) really emotional and the coulorin and shadow composition is just beautiful, two coulours on white paper and then this is the finished work, thats really cool!

But I'll prolly have some more out soon.

Yup...I had cut myself earlier that day, and I thought I'd healed....aparrantly not. XD
Tres goth of me, putting my own blood (pronounced 'bl-oo-d') into my work, no?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes...it would appear...it would go well with the whole "angst" thing and the "people don't understand me" thing....
At least you can say your work has a bit of you in it....(bad pun)...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes...we were actually contemplating what I'd tell the schools I was applying to if they wanted a portfolio...
...the truth, or some good ol'e fashioned angst-ridden interp.
Heh.

Why does all this talk about eggs make me think of the 1966 "Batman" movie?
"An egg - nature's perfect container. The container of all our hopes for the future.".....and our blood...

mmm spif. 
actually I've bled on pieces before. -_-;;
*sighs* But it's nice when you can work around it like this.
You did a wonderful job, nice value and composition and I think the red really adds to it.

Thank you! I worried so much over it when it happened...I'm glad it turned out ok.
π: 0 β©: 1
you're very welcome.

but I believe you have proved that you can definately work with stuff like this and turn it itno an amazing piece.

Actually, it was from earlier that morning...I was cutting some thread, and I sliced open my finger with the scissors...it was a really deep cut, so it didn't hurt too much, but when I took the bandaid off halfway through the day, I found quickly that it hadn't fixed itself yet. O_o

Ahahaha, maybe it's wrong but I just find this picture to be hilarious. For some reason, it makes me laugh. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Really? Wow. ^^
SO glad you liked it...I'm never too sure on these still-lifey things...
The original blood is those two drops on the left...they're just above the tree, and under the cloud...I'm kinda thankful I sliced my fingers open with scissors that morning. ^^

It's creative and interesting to look at. Why wouldn't I like it? Considering the background I think it's pretty freakin funny. (And good. And creative. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Ha, no, probably not. XD
I just didn't want to throw away the work I'd done...I liked the eggies...^^
But, you never know...I did really like the whole surreal thing...::wiggly fingers::
The next project I'm doing is a character study of Nadine...kinda set up like this: [link]
But prolly with only the main three.

The eggs are very nicely done, by the way. How strange, the one thing I wanted to say and I said everything but that.
I don't understand what you plan to do using that picture. You want to do a similar style or a similar setup, but with your characters?
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, no, I just...it's an example of the type of thing I'm going to be doing...like, three views of the same character.
But damnitall, I have to go out and buy my own bloody bristol board. Lame. XP

Very.... Dali. Well, somewhere between Dali and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
I like it, it is interesting... but I do have to agree with Angela.
How'd ya get blood on it? I mean, I know it happens, but what was the specific wound that caused that O.o?

::copies and pastes her response to Angela::
Well, you see, that morning I was cutting something with scissors, and I slipped, and sliced the tip of my finger open. It was a fairly deep cut, so it didn't hurt too much. I band-aided it, and went on my way. But during art, I was having trouble drawing with the band-aid on, so I took it off.
Silly me. Aparrantly I don't heal that fast.
I noticed that there was blood all over my pencil first....then I realized why, and yanked my hand away from the picture. But it was too late.

Now I want to know how you got blood on it.
