POOR GUYS

[No title 3]

the texture here of the wall and the bathtub and the lighting on her face wowowow this is all so good. it's so melancholic and tranquil and reminiscent of times long past. i love the heart in your work kik thank you as always

[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.

[Kiryu]

YESSSS KIRYU IS THE MANNN

I think the stylization here is cool, but it could definitely use some cleaning up, depth, and background work! but the heart is there!

[binej yeah (again)]

the bigger meaner mouth is so awesome tell him i said that idc if he is mean about it!

[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.

[Vasilisa the Beautiful : lily pads]

detailed with whimsy. really cool, the vision is so strikingly clear throughout.

[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]
