The Art of the Seth

[DM Cross]

Since it seems like people like that one, I guess I can give a bit of advise/reveal the secret behind it:

Other then the nails, that's my hand. I sat in front of my mirror with an end table in front of me for a good hour and a half, at least, and held my hand in that position and sketched a bit of it. Then put my hand back in the position.

Incredibly painful cramps afterward, though -.-

-Ninja Edit-

By the way, Conan, I just found the actual sketch, and there's a lot more shading then you think. Again, just a bad scanner -.-

And for anyone who's wondering what "words" Malice is talking about, my scanner cut off the part that says:

Not everyone who plays with fire gets burned.

Other then the nails, that's my hand.

cool you have a runic cape?

 

[DM Cross]

cool you have a runic cape?

The HAND, child, the HAND! Not the sleeve.

Though, I do have a trench coat which people have called a "cape".

Uneducated bastards.

i liked the heart better to try reflecting yourself with this style

good, keep working

Meaningful Meanings

I drew this as sort of a "celebration" of Jessica breaking up with me.

Which is now a complex topic, and it's all her fault.

Anyway, basically, I was showing that "love" is good and bad, dark and light, and all that dramatic contrasting stuff.

Most people think it's just "for the hell of it", but a lot of the things I sketch say something to me.

Idle Hands: Idle Hands showed the love I have for fire Along with my slightly destructive nature. "Not everyone who plays with fire gets burned" isn't arrogance, it's tolerance. Yes, you will get burned, but will you care in the morning?

Believe: Yes, this is a band logo for a CD, but a lot of pain is associated with this CD. Not just the singer's pain, but personal pain. The... Second? track is Liberate, Jon's favorite song, and I barely ever find the ability to listen to this anymore...

Balance: Like I said, I have a yin-yang fetish Most people know I believe in "eye for an eye", because it "balances the equation"... Anyone ever catch onto that, or are ya all blind?

Wings: Just a way of saying I wish I could "fly away" Always loved the idea of flying...

Gah, I hate the school keyboards... I'll type the rest up later

You also need to add more contrast to the line on Idle Hands, and make the runic sleeve more slanted so it doesn't look so much like a bracelet.

The lines aren't all the same depth and same thickness, which makes it look a bit scattered. If you darken those and fix the sleeve, it would be perfect, since all the proportions are near perfect and the fireball looks amazing.

 

[DM Cross]

Ok, not going for perfection, Con The lines can be a little scattered-looking, but I will state that this is the first time anyone ever said anything like that.

Just wanted some feedback on an idea.

Imagine an arm stretched out across the page with a needle in it. No no, it's not a drug reference, not exactly anyway. Rather, the person's trying to cram a CD into the needle, and thus, into his arm.

The words would read:

Hi, my name is Roy, and I'm a music addict...

Thoughts? Opinions? Spam?

And yes, people, I realize I come up with some truly fucked up material, please don't re-state that

 

[Sargon]

I like the idea.

 

[Husky]

Lol, I always get snapped in class drawing . Recently (and currently) being drawing a bit of Halo stuff (from the game, yes).

Thinking of making some comic strips of it... with each one of the Spartans being a Special Member... *Rubs hands together in an evil way* Yes, this will be extremly deliightful wont it preciouses...

And then i'll have some other retards that can be some loner Marines or something. Starting with MooMooMan, Grundy and maybe even Yamaha... Very interesting.

Are you sure those are from Priest? They look more like D.N.Angel to me. (The cover depicts the same thing as the second picture)

 

[DM Cross]

Yes, the second two are from Priest, the THIRD book. Either that, or the printing company sorta got messed up with the two books and made a Priest covered book of whatever you just named

New one, that I'm pretty proud of.

Ivan Issac... Nailed.

[Sargon]

the muscles are weeeeeeird.

 

[MasterOfABCs]

nice, but it looks too 2D, more shading would make it better. nice, 5,000 posts alex

 

[DM Cross]

Yeah, I managed to mess up a lot with the muscles, but that's because the form overall is a little off -.- Makes it harder to figure out what goes where... GRR!

Do ya LIKE it, ya weirdo?

 

[Sargon]

It's OK. Would be better if I didn't have to see your attempt at abs, though.

 

[DM Cross]

-.- SILENCE YE OF LITTLE FAITH, OR YOU'RE NEXT ON THE CROSS! -.-

Seriously, that's pretty much what they look like in the book. I'm off, yeah, but not by THAT much.

 

[Pyromancer]

those are really nice, i didnt quite get the nightmare. idle hands is cool

 

[DM Cross]

Nightmare:

Tilt your head slightly to the LEFT, and look BETWEEN the lines. There's a creepy smiley face there.

 

[Pyromancer]

ahhhh, ok. did you do this at school (do you go to school?)

 

[DM Cross]

Yeah, I did that throughout school today. I'm a senior in High School.
