Dead, like. Totally this side of deceased.

Granted: plenty of totally unmentioned people die too... so it really just sucks to be alive these days.

Maybe... but modern evil is sexier, and more respectable too.

Oooh, can I see can I see? Big Grin Drawing is fun, so I'm really getting into it. Hard as a bloody coffin nail, though... shadows (my style) and HUMAN HANDS... whoever invented the human hand can die.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I have to show a LOT of human freaking hands in this one... Hands are so expressive. And they're a key element of the ambiance. The close-ups aren't as hard, since I have more space to draw the contours and details (SO MANY FREAKING DETAILS)...

They're still a pain, though. Illustrating hands doing stuff? That's the worst.

I fear the handshake.

I take some pride in drawing hands, because they are a challenge for any artist and very easy to mess up. I have a tendency to revert to a set of specific poses (mostly balled up in fists) for them, but I can draw almost any pose with a bit of effort. Way too many moving parts, is the problem.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It can be rather difficult, heck there have been a few occasions where I couldn't draw something really awesome (for the life of me) even with taking my time. I do believe that one day I'll get better but it's just that I'm lazy most of the time plus college is not making it any easier for me. The next step for me is learning how to scan my drawings to the computer and making them better using a program like Manga Studio, I'll probably get to that once I'm done with finals.

I get the feeling that you just don't get me.

Dead space was the closest to the mark, but it's post-modern, and the while the enemies are suitably uncanny: they're also certainly not human.

The goal is not to inspire fear so much as dread... and it is not to provide insight so much as perspective. Most of the rest of your pictures were of things that couldn't have possibly been confused with *horror*, *psychological (or intellectual) thrillers*, or *mystery*.

Modern is precisely that: it could have believably happened within 20 years of today.

I'm going to stick to drawing roughs for a few months, for sure. Recreating fines as a more practiced artist is for a little later, and then I get to learn to scan, clean, and refine into a finished product.

And then I get to share it Tiger
