Trying to make the most of a free Saturday.

Okay, I know this is a little weird...but so am I.

I mentioned before on my deviation 'z0mbie me' that I'd had a few ideas for the topic 'zombie self portrait'. This was my original idea. In the end, I decided against it in favor of a different angle, as this follows a formula I use often. Also because I thought this didn't fit with the spirit of the topic, as it's not gory...at least not to me.

For me, it was more of an existential experience...drawing myself in a deconstructed state. Unsettling...but interesting. For this reason I was thankful for the topic for pushing me in a direction I wouldn't have gone otherwise. At the very least, it's a good technical exercise. I'm sure there may be some inaccuracies but I'm pleased with it as a whole.

I've forgone a background since the figure offers an abundance of detail on its own. I tried adding more but it looked too busy and detracted from the work I did on the skeleton.

Alright...I've said enough.

Thanks for looking.

...

I've always been a skinny kid. I can already hear my family joking that they can't tell the difference between sides.

No problem, my friend. Seriously, make that a poster. I want it on my wall.

To me It seems as though you are meditating, bringing yourself into the higher plane of existence and forgoing your body.

Nice sense of movment here, good work!

Distressing and beautiful at once. I love the sense of unraveling, and the work on the feet. Thank you for sharing!

You know the place between scary and beautiful? Yep, that's where I would put this drawing. I like it, really, and there's so many details to look at. It reminds me of a monk, especially because of the pose. Now I'm being weird - sorry! ^^'
It's quite fascinating (:

Scary and beautiful is what I like too. And I don't think you're being weird at all. =)

Thanks a lot.
