Spontaneous and really cool.

Quick word art I did because bored.

Sorry about the quality; no access to a scanner here.

Thanks for the words. I am hoping to get drawing more. This idea had hit me in May, I'd scribbled it down in my planner. Stumbled across it again, and just felt this sudden urge to draw it.

No promises on a large volume of artwork. If I'm struck with more inspiration, though, that'll change things up.

Great to see you drawing again.

Even greater to see a scene from possibly my favorite novel illustrated in almost the exact way I had imagined it as I read. Gorgeous work shading the sand dunes and with the soft atmospheric glow. The off-set title and the elegant font choice also works beautifully, really selling the emotional weight and mood of the scene. Hope to see more stuff soon, because I am loving this.

That's... wow. Thank you, Mono.

While not a direct inspiration, Dune was definitely in the back of my mind whilst drawing this. Favourable comparisons with that visual masterpiece are just about as high a praise as I could hope for.

I'm glad that you liked this, and that it seems to have had an effect on you.

That is...beyond beautiful.
It sort of reminds me of the look of David Lynch's Dune, a film whose look was probably the best thing about it.
In doing relatively little, you have managed to encompass everything.

The Forever War spoilers:

QuoteI landed on the pinnacle where we had starved together and, a few hours before dawn, watched a new star appear over the western horizon, flare to brilliance and fade as it moved away, becoming just another star, then a dim star, and then nothing. I walked to the edge and looked down the sheer rock face to the dim frozen rippling of dunes half a kilometer below...

Phoenix insignia I designed for the police force in a short dystopian play a friend of mine wrote and directed, entitled Ashes. This bad boy was printed onto t-shirts 'n shit.

(Yes, the phoenix does have thematic and symbolic importance to the play.)


I want one.

Very nice.

You know something I never said, I think in your style it is praiseworthy how much mood you transfer to drawn faces.

Your style is acquiring its identity and uniqueness. Love your last piece.

Okay, I see what you mean now.

Yeah, that was most likely just laziness. :laugh:

I could try going back, changing it a bit... But not today.

What I'm [poorly] trying to point out is the shading only being on their skin and not on their clothing. The shading stops at their clothing instead of carrying onto it. For instance, there is shading on the first character's neck, but none on the scarf, then it resumes on the chest, but not onto the robe. It makes the shading look exclusive only to the skin.

Hohlay shyet, that's badass. Particularly like the first guy's stripe pattern.

One critique would be that the cell shading ends at the clothing and doesn't go further, having only been applied to areas of bare skin.

Badass it is, I agree.

Not quite sure what you're saying about the shading though. Care to be a bit more specific?
