Fighter's Song

okay umm yeah... heres a pic that I had been working off and on for a better part of four months maybe... long story I finished it like during january and many may know that I submitted it for my graphic design entry in The Arts contest on ER, but why delay putting it up here? Well the reason for that was that this particular piece was intended to be submitted in to the XN for publishing there... and so I was hesitant to post it here... no I haven't sent it in yet... I still have to get the nerve up to do so, but I'm getting there... for the moment you can enjoy it here... and hopefully it will be augmented by the quote to go with it(and of course it's alot better quality than the one on ER I have no idea why it's like that... I hope it looks better for the actual showing of it at WS)




pretty nice huh? :D it was inspired by several 'fighter' songs, 'never', 'this is war','kicking up a storm', of course these are all songs that involve an army whenever I visualize them and orginally I had intended to depict this, but I just got so tired of looking at this so I didn't go through all the trouble of doing that and settled for this... but point in case this is intended for any 'fightier' song you can think of and is intended to express that same thing :D which is why I give it the same title :D

and for once here is a painting that I did not use texture on... not even an overlay for effect... just default brushes... and I say painting cause that it really what it is that I did with it... at least the background anyway...which was a pain... took me a whole week and a half I believe... the line art is old and obviously there are a lot of different shading styles blended together here which just shows how long I spent working on it... you can see some: cel(which is what I used to do before I got my tablet), low opac, smudge, and textural(the helmet). I also borrowed those little extreme highlights from luis royo... and I think I'll be keeping them for awhile :D

please don't mind the many mistakes...

P.S. the demon's supposed to be orklike... that's where I got it from anyway :D

enjoy

poetic experiences

At the urging of the administraton of Writers forum 3.0 (which has nothing to do with starwars) I have taken a few exercises in (mostly) rhymeless poetry...

Roots
I am trying to think but all that I find
are the tangled roots
of seedling thoughts
growing dead
cracking my mind
Broken before
these undead dreams
Feeding off my dread-
the chaos craven-
feinted petulence
calling to those inside

and...

Partent
Grieving your senses
locked in the wind
The headway of your water's
granting sanctuary

Gold leaf skin
wrapped about your hands
touch my agony
and burn my name

Failure to see
to reciprocate
(Pink belt)
