Aquaria fanart [spoilers]

[orange]

She looks scared, I guess. Or like. "OMG! A MONSTER!"

[Danger Mouse]

She actually looks a bit morbid to me... so scared she's ghost white.

[Ubik]

Very soothing, and at the same time very upbeat. I really like this song.... can I use it for my mod?? Aquaria: Lost Treasures

Glad you like it! I sent you a PM about your request, so get back to me when you have the opportunity.

[Danger Mouse]

I shot you an email and wrote you a PM Ubik. Thanks for the response.

Ok if some of you can't see what's disturbing I will explain, and Orange I am not critiquing your picture just explaining what it is that is effecting them like that

1.  Her ear is set very far forward and a bit low so if she wore glasses she wouldn't be able to see out of them.
2. Her mouth is facing towards us yet we should only see 2 thirds of it by rights and the same goes for her eye also.
3. Her nose is twice as long as it should be even in extreme.
And
4. Her neck is also twice as long as a normal neck unless Naije wore those neck bands that some African women wear.

These are all tricks long used by artists such as Dali, Picasso, to name just 2 and I know there are others but as usual my memory for names has let me down

[Chibi]

That's it - I recognized the nose and neck, but couldn't put my thumb on the other two.

It is kind of hard to see these things because our brain will see the main features on a face and say "right it's a human face" but unless you have some training in anatomy then you won't be able to put your finger on what exactly is disturbing you.  And of course it's not just artists that have that training, some Doctors and Surgeons are also very good at seeing what is wrong

[Xiagan]

My first thought was Picasso.

[Vetehinen]

I recall a certain French comic-artist who's style is quite similar... My memory doesn't serve me right now, but I was a bit bemused when I saw Orange's picture 

[orange]

I wasn't really thinking anything of anatomy or other artists. I was just drawing.  I do like to exaggerate. I feel like normal human anatomy is just so rigid and stubby.

Good for you orange, I supose that my art is a bit too predictable really but it's what I enjoy and I do admire those that can do abstract art and make it look natural. Any abstract I paint just looks false to me so I leave it to others.

This is one of my galleries and really the only one that I don't have to be too discrete about linking to www.ArtWanted.com/silverflagon

Do you have any galleries orange?

[orange]

Nope. I don't. xD I like your flowers and butterflies. They look happy.   

[silverflagon]

And I am not really a flower artist lol Those were painted as part of several challenges and the only one that I really like is the acrylic  and that I donated to the hospice where my friend died. I don't sell and that depresses me sometimes .. sigh
You really should start a gellery if only so I could see more of your work

Howdy. It's Arch again. I lost internet at home until recently so I haven't been able to upload any doodles.
Though if it means anything, I plan to make due on my claim on posting more art. I listened to a lot of the tracks in the Jukebox the other day and it's had my mind bubbling like a cauldron. I have tons of ideas to implement.

As for the black n' white picture by Vetehinen: Beautifully done. Good job.

[silverflagon]

Hi Arch it's good to see you back again
