"Real" Art

[Sailor Astera]

Thanks for the compliments mikarin! ^_^ I am trying really hard to be a professional artist. XD

I like the way you see the drawing. It's always interesting to hear from people about stuff that's a little, well, different. ^^;

I updated the main post with the final image.

I only saw the one with two people fused into one. The others didn't work for me... I thought it was really interesting. At first glance I thought one was strangling the other, but it seemed to me as though they were one person. It's almost like the internal struggle of a human being. Fighting certain urges, the superego trying to suppress the id, but those urges are trying to be free. The light coming out is like the release; the triumph of the desires.

Very nicely done, it's quite provocative.

Thanks wavy! What an interesting take. Here's another one I recently finished, hopefully the links will work:

I really like the style in which you paint. There's a kind of rawness to it. I was wondering, was that guy strictly in your imagination or did you have a subject pose? Heheh.

By the way, what is the meaning behind this new painting and the one I commented on?

No model for the guy but I have and do use photo references when needed.

The naked guy with wings is called "Moobies with Wings" and well, that's really it pretty much. I wanted to draw a large, naked, sad man with wings. Additionally, my cousin suggested I add "A pie" to the image. Going off his suggestion, I added an abstraction of an empty pie plate behind him. My meaning? He is sad because he doesn't have any more pie and I have no idea why he has wings. ^^;

The other one (with the figures going into one another) has something to do with personal identity and how if I am me and you are you, I can never truly understand you unless I become you, but then I won't be me anymore. @_@ Yes?

Ohh, I like that. It's a very interesting meaning. I guess this is just another example of how art is subjective. Anyway, I hope everything works out for you.
