It's ok! Some months ago some people thought I was older because I had a moustache -don't laugh- but I shaved now so I look younger again.

I have updated my portfolio, here are all the drawings I've done. I still have to do at least another 3. If any image appears as a [x] do a right click and "show picture". And there are 3 nipples and me in my underwear, look at the descriptions for more info. www.angelfire.com/art2/stupidportfolioSome of them have names, most don't but here's a brief description: 1. "Liz" ~ Watercolors 2. "Self Portrait in Grey" ~ Watercolors 3. "Self Portrait Homage to the Hand of Glory 2" ~ Colored Pencils (this one is a set w/HttHoG1) 4. "Portrait of a Lady" (here 'she' is topless so look only if you are of age) ~ Pencil 5. "UNTITLED" ~ Acrilycs 6. "La Fee Verte" (she's also topless) ~ Watercolors 7. "UNTITLED still life" ~ Colored Pencil 8. "Self Portrait Homage to the Hand of Glory 1" (WARNING: I'm only wearing underwear) ~ Crayons(this one is a set w/HttHoG2) 9. A crappy and watered-down version of #8 10. "La LLorona" A Mexican Legend ~ White Charcoal & Colored Pencils 11. "Samara" Inspired by The Ring ~ White Charcoal & Conte 12. "The First Flower after the Flood" (until I find a better name) ~ Watercolors 13. "Alice" (a.k.a. "La Petite Mort" ) ~ Conte 14. "UNTITLED" ~ Pencil (It looks crooked but it's due to the camera) 15. "Guest for Breakfast" ~ Conte 16. "No Forgiveness, No Salvation" or "The Power of Christ Compels Me" (Haven't decided yet) ~ Watercolors 17. "La Catrina" A Mexican Legend ~ White Charcoal (IN PROGRESS - I haven't decided how to finish it)

Dark's Art = angsty with naked people, so I think the best thing to do would be to get a DeviantArt account--put everything up in the "erotica" section except for the still life of the fruit and you will be revered as a god among men.

Dark, you're AWESOME! Okay... massive-comment, time. I'm going to go through them all if it takes me... a long time.
Hand of glory: I like the way the colours are sort of exploding around it, it definitely makes the hand a very powerful image. Also, I really like the position it's in; very hand-like, which is especially hard to do when there's not shading of the hand. The only thing I would have done would have been to shade it a bit.... make it a little shiny (this is mostly because I'm thinking of Aladdin, though, and I don't think the impression would be as strong, so I'm probably just being an idiot).
Portrait of a lady: This is really well done. Very "essence of a woman"ly, as it was put before. The folds in the sheet she's on are particularly well done, and so is the hair. Constructive crit: the breast on my left looks like it's at a bit of an un-natural angle, and the hand looks a little awkward, too, with it, but only because it looks sort of pushed-up. Really nice realism, though. Love it.
I like the motion you captured in the acrylics one. It does a good job of conveying the pain.
La fée verte: I LOVE this. It's exactly the kind of thing I like. I LOVE the hollow eyes and the curvy back. It's one of my favourites. I just love the stylizedness.
Still life.... it's still life. I'm not a big still life fan, but this ios well done. I like the plum the best. Looks very 3D. I like the way the shadows fall off the plate into the whiteness.
The expression on the face in Homage to the Hand of Glory reminds me of Edward Gorey, and I love the sketchy lines around it. Somehow they give it more impact. I like the little nuances in the hair: the redness, which sort of goes with the blood, and the halo. Crit: the head seems a little big for the body. I'm not sure if that's a style thing, though.
I like #9, too, but I definitely agree #8 is nicer. Maybe I do like the head being bigger... In this one, the proportions seem more accurate, but I don't like it as much. No... I know what it is... It's that #8 looks more childish, therefore more freaky. Okay... yeah. Good stuff.
10: I'd like to hear the legend behind this. I LOVE the colours. Really really strong impression. I like the blue glow around her, too. The dress is lovely, and I like the stylizedness, again. It really adds to the impact. Another favourite.
11: I like this one, alot, too. Very gothic, definitely leaves an impression and is really creepy. I especially like the flow of the hair, and the bags under the eyes-ish-things. Awesome.
12 looks very calm, elvish, childish. It's a real contrast from some of the rest, but I still like it. However, I think the lips are a tad small.
13 (appropriate number) is another one of my favourites. I think some of your best stuff is in conté or graphite: you've got a good strong hold on those media. I love everything about this picture: the antique, gothic furniture, the girl's face, arms, dress, hair, legs... She looks like a doll, but a really sad and fragile doll. It's wonderful.
Ack! Will finish later! Have to go pick up France pictures! I'll definitely finish, though.
AND GET DevArt, then I can stalk you your art. You rock. Keep drawing, and I'll keep commenting!

Holy crap, I said a lot. I hope you're actually wanting this kind of feedback... I'll keep going, though. (Sorry about the double-post, but I think it's needed).
14: I love this. You've given a lot of depth to the bottles, and the 3D work ir really cool. It gives a really good impression of what the textures of the bottles are (ie, the first cK one is sort of foggy-ish, the second is metallic, and the adidas one is clear... am I sort of right?) This is really well done... a favourite still-life.
15 is really awesome, too. I love the title. Another favourite... Anyway, I love the jacket: the texture you've conveyed is really well-done, and the folds are great. *usually has to make human sacrifices to be able to draw clothing folds* I also like the contrast in textures between the briefcase and the jacket and the pure-white chair. Really good impression (I'm overusing this word, sorry).
16. Wow... the creepiness never ends. Things with crosses in them just generally creep me out, because crucifixion scares the hell out of me, basically. This really is creepy. I like the washiness and the cloak, and the way her skin is practically white under her cloak, and there are just little hints of shading. However, the hand that's holding the cloak looks like it's at a bit of an awkward angle.
17. I'd like to hear this legend, too. I can't believe you got white charcoal to go so white; that's really cool. I like how it's outlined in blue. Anyway, I think it would be super-cool if you did some freaky-blue shading around the skull... and I don't know what your plans are for the rest of it so.... yeah.... *shuts up*
In conclusion: ROCK ON!!! I love your art, love your style, hope you enjoyed the huge comment!

Ok, here are 3 new drawings. In fact just 2 and "La Catrina" finished, thou I might change the name... 17. "La Catrina" ~ White Charcoal & Colored Pencils. I decided to break/expand the freakiness of the drawing by giving her a baby 18. "New Model" ~ Watercolors. I don't like this one too much, I did it from a Marilyn Manson picture. 19. "Applaus!" ~ Marker and Crayons.It's not misspelled I guess 'applaus' is german for 'applause'.

19. "Applaus!" ~ Marker and Crayons.It's not misspelled I guess 'applaus' is german for 'applause'. This one is awesome! Is it Esmé? It looks like her. Although...it is slightly on the pornographic side and it sort of reminds me of Janet Jackson.
