Venting RAGE through art :)

ok, so I was VERY mad at my brother tonight. He blew me off THREE NIGHTS in a row, then when we were supposed to hang out today he stayed like ten minutes and then left expecting me to do his laundry for him. 

SO, I was fuming mad, like wishing I could cleave his skull and dump his body in a nearby ravine mad, BUT since I am far too soft for prison I decided to use that rage to express myself.  Anyone that might actually be keeping up with this nonsensical and pointless blog knows that I've been trying to teach myself photoshop, in fact my last three posts have been about just that.  So tonight I needed a catylyst, something horrendous and foul, some act of cruelity and/or violence that I could draw so I wouldn't have to sit around ruminating on how much of a ginormous douche-fag my dear brother is. 

Then, it hit me like a great knife to the groin... PYRAMID HEAD! What greater way to express my rage than by expressing it with a work of art of an embodiment of anger, pride, and punishment!  Anyone not familiar with the popular and WICKED AWESOME Silent Hill series of video games will have NO IDEA what I'm talking about, but for those that do...

OMFG I DREW PYRAMID HEAD AND IT LOOKS AWESOME! But yeah, good stuff.  Some minor points of interest: the tattoo on his shoulder is called "that halo of the sun" and is seen throughout the series from the third game on and is often used in attempts to resurrect the cults dark god or cause general supernatural mischief, I got the idea for the keys hanging from his waist from that scene in silent hill 2 where maria goes to unlock the door in the alleyway and pulls keys from various places on her person before finally finding the right one... I allways kinda thought that as a manifestation of James lusty feelings and hurt at Mary's degeneration into something, shall we say, LESS than sexual she was afforded certain favors one of which was having keys to any door in silent hill magically tucked away in her clothing so when I went to draw Pyramid head I gave him a belt of keys, there's even a car key on the far right of the rest of them, and last but not least PLEASE don't ask why I gave the patient demon bondage gear and a ball gag :P
THE END!

further FURTHER Adventures in Photoshop

Ok, so I think I'm getting the hang of it, and finding it oddly addictive.  Every time I have a moment I'm pulling out my sketchpad and working on stuff.  Either that or I have no life.  But anywho, here's the latest creations.  ENJOY!

I made this for one of my yahoo peeps, she has a thing for Lolcats :)
This is a portrait I did of my friend Colleen, who probably wont appreciate it :P


This is me and my best bud Rebecca done off a photograph taken a few years back :)

A rather serious looking Goatman, kneeling in prayer.

AND THAT'S IT FOR NOW! come back later for more BINKSY PHOTOSHOP CREATIONS!

Further Adventures in Photoshop

Ok, for reasons I cannot explain I wanted to do a drawing of Dick Valentine from Electric Six riding a playground pony and pointing skyward...

THIS is the original photograph:


THIS is the shitty sketch I drew in about five minutes:


THIS is the shitty sketch touched up and colored in photoshop:

The process takes FOREVER though, kinda thinking I'm doing something either wrong or not doing something necessary to simplify it. More on this later...

I'm teaching myself how to use photoshop, and one of the benefits of the hideously painstaking learning process is being able to color in and improve upon drawings you've done in pen or pencil.

That means turning THIS:
A laughably bad and uber angsty sketch I did in highschool, into THIS:
STILL laughably bad, still angst ridden, only NOW its in COLOR! :D

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!
