[Impavidorov knight]

very cool, the heads remind me of those guys from Spirited Away lol!

dogmuth-behedog responds:

Thanks. :D
Ive never seen a full ghibli movie. im not a movies guy.

[MY FIRST ANIMATION WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

dude is getting it

Lagger33203 responds:

He do be sturdy

[She's GREEK to me]

this kind of portraiture is so nice and intimate too. well done

ADR3-N responds:

Thank you!!!

[It’s hot as hell in here]

this is very awesome,

creates a sense of weight not normally associated with these kids. i love darnell's subtle presence too.

i wish nene contained a bit more symbolism with how she is presented here but i mean other than that yeah this rocks!

Saminat responds:

Thank you! I see what you mean, the scenery is where I put a lot of the personality, I'm really in love with that story and the various ways trauma is depicted 🥺

[Old lady in a veil]

love this. i love that you work on wood, i feel like that must do a lot setting the tone for a piece like this!

dogmuth-behedog responds:

Yes. :D

[This Is a Truth]

i really enjoy the brushstrokes here. there is a certain flesh-n-blood quality to them and the colors used. right on! likewise, i'll celebrate any quote urging one to live for self-realization.

ShadenLines responds:

Thanks! Yeah...that's from real brushes on REAL paper. No piece in this account is produced all-digital. Also, props for your knowledge. I rarely run into people online who can casually drop phrases like "self-realization"!

[Buk on Suicide]

the stippling lettering is very cool and consistent throughout!

bukowski used to be my fucking JAM years and years ago.. if you like him I also recommend Everette Maddox,, he wrote in a similar fashion (not as an imitator though) with focus on New Orleans and romantic love as opposed to sexual.

ShadenLines responds:

Thanks! I'll have to check out Maddox soon... Bet his living in New Orleans gave him plenty of subjects to write about!

I do have an actual poem by Buk in here as well..."Victory".

[lettering practice (Carlyle)]

must've taken a steady hand, to be sure!!

i think the lettering style adds much to the quote and vice versa.

I'm curious as to what the scribbles are, they seem to prop up the quote almost.

ShadenLines responds:

The "scribbles" are parts of the watermark. :-(

If it weren't for the current online climate being the way it is, I wouldn't have to deface my work with such things.

[Evil on the Underground]

very eerie,

I love how the lower third of the piece is created with as much care as the figure's head and the looming beast beyond. it carries that sort of Jasper Byrne / early Silent Hill quality of tenderness amid the horror.

thank you for sharing :)

AntonM responds:

Thanks!! Silent Hill is a huge influence for sure and I actually listen to Jasper Byrne's music very often, especially those sonic albums :))

[hey guys it's bread again]

maruki responds:
