I can see the talent, however I am not sure the stylistic approach.

Not that I can draw. But I dont like skulls plus theres a lot of stuff there which just seems to be a lot of filler like the whispy stuff coming from the skulls. Kinda like the guy started drawing it and got stuck on how to finish it Its ok like. . . But not like oh wow thats my wall paper right there.

It looks complicated and confusing, so it must be art.

It's good. I like interesting structures, but the hair/grass makes it look like a patch for a girls backpack/buttmetal cover art.

4/5, very good overall. A bit on the messy side with details on the verge of getting lost (maybe that was the point but it doesn't mean it makes sense to me to do that). Theme is kinda deviantart meh stuff

That´s it. It isn´t bad in itself, just somewhat pointless. COULD be a tatoo, but there is too much distracting stuff, too many decorative elements. The grass stuff is confusing the eye, which results in too many lines going all over the place. The theme would work better with less elements but more details, like the skulls and the gears. Usually, when there´s too many different details without contributing to a bigger shape, our brains get irritated and lose interest. Also, in some parts some solid black shapes could replace the hatching, which would result in more contrast.

But he (or YOU?) obviously know(s) how to handle a pen, so just keep drawing and it will get tighter :) Maybe he (or YOU?) should check out some HR Giger stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giger I love the spiky parts on the top right, they have some mech feeling to it.

(Oh, and people should stop the "swirly signature". That´s tacky. But at least there aren´t watermarks all over the place.)

A bit surprised to discover this thread (registered for the Trouble Witches topic). Eh, well, i happen to be the guy behind this here pic in the first post. P_Hat can prove that.

All i can say: thank you people, you are awesome. Appreciate the comments (as i rarely get any).
Kinda like the guy started drawing it and got stuck on how to finish it Its ok like. . .
Yeah, i wanted to do the picture quickly - had the full sketch and started inking, but got distracted and...yeah.

It was an ink practice, nothing too serious (although i happen to like this particular theme). Not sure about "deviantart" thing - have an account there, but not exacty a fan of the place.

Thanks, i'll try to keep that in mind. :)

Yes, Giger is one of my favourite artists.

Just my everyday sig. *shrugs*

Sorry for the long-ass post.

I really like it.

The layout is well done. My eyes are drawn around the image and everything appears to have equal effort.

The lines are bold and contrast nicely against the while. There is good use of complimentary space. The white areas are just as striking as the black. A good deal of detail is present too which really helps move the viewers' eyes around. The shapes are very stylistic and work well as a whole.

This mood of this piece is not solely death because it has some symbolic and stylistic flair.

If I had to interpret this work I would say that the purpose of this piece would be to encourage imaginative thought while noting how we live in a sort fragile fleeing life.

It might work well as a solitary cover for a CD or game.

I gave it a 5. :D

Oh, shit! That looks good! Thats some brutal stuff. Hell yeah :twisted: !
