this is an expressive piece that i worked on for about three
hours while listening to Tool. this one represents their song
"the patient" i am open for comments good or bad. and any
tips for next time would be greatly apreciated.

this one is expressing the fight me n my girl had and how i am
taking it...not too well eh?

[carpal]

Yeah I would say you may not be taking it so well.

Although if it makes you create stuff like this it can't be all bad.

I prefer the second one, the black and white contrast just makes it that much "edgier" and it rocks my world.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: two thumbs up from me

thanks, yeah i do decent artwork when im in a bad mood. im going for artwork that grabs your attention and gives you an emotional responce. i want to know how well it works and any tech. help with colour or contrast ect. any feed back would be nice

[navel_lint]

i really like your style.
your line usage reminds me of Joe Quesada, one
of my all time favorite comic artists.

do you find art theraputic when you're down?
i know for some artists, it just frustrates, sometimes
intensifies the depression. blah. sorry, probally too personal
a question.

i'd love to see more of your work.

[Crunch]

no i dont mind at all...actually at the time i am doing the work i am still depressed or angry or whatever but after i feel better. i am starting a new way of doing things for me and it is good to know some people like it. art helps me it is kind of like my ventaliation. i dont go out and get drunk or go smash shit...i just draw...i do my best work when i am in a crap mood...but it still is not that great and i hope with art school and pro help here i can improve.

and derek hess

[Crunch]

yeah derek hess is a huge influence. but i dont want to steal his style...still trying to find my voice or whatever...

[davi]

i see 0% derek hess and 30% wayshak (scrapbookmanifesto.com)

[Crunch]

hahaha thanks davi! no really derek is an influence but i dont want to be him so i am actually very glad you said that...my stuff isnt that great but with hard work it will get better...ill post more soon...

Awesome work man...you definatly were able to translate your emotion to paper in my opinion. Both pieces convey a great sense of movement and pain.
