the sketchy-ness makes it really hard to tell what is going on in the pictures

You know, I thought it might be something like that myself, but no one else mentioned it before you, haha, so I thought I was just being paranoid.

The sketchyness is half because I'm lazy and was just doodling, and half so that you're like "ugh this is muddy."

I'll try and keep em clearer in the future, but the sketchyness will still be there somewhat. I need pratice. A big inspiration of mine is Egon Schiele.

piĀ·ous      [pahy-uhs] Pronunciation Key
–adjective
1.   having or showing a dutiful spirit of reverence for God or an earnest wish to fulfill religious obligations.
2.   characterized by a hypocritical concern with virtue or religious devotion; sanctimonious.
3.   practiced or used in the name of real or pretended religious motives, or for some ostensibly good object; falsely earnest or sincere: a pious deception.
4.   of or pertaining to religious devotion; sacred rather than secular: pious literature.
5.   having or showing appropriate respect or regard for parents or others.


It's pretty hard to be pious with this message, I promise you haha. It's pretty damn tame ahahaha.

Also I don't how you could think it WAS pious, unless you were using sarcasm. Which is entirely possible. I can't read tone through text.

Are you emo or something??!
Title: I draw sometimes.
Post by: MRat on December 8, 2007 12:18 AM
Emo? Me? No. I don't much see anything emo about these at all.


And I didn't mean to come off arrogant. Just stating the facts. It is a fact that you don't know what the message is. Why? Because I don't know what it is. And if I don't know, then you can't really know. You can think you know, but how will you confirm? How?

more like horror sketching

Post by: MRat on December 11, 2007 07:28 AM
Well thick and heavy outlines, which I guess could easily be horror sketching and I do have a taste for horror/macabre stuff, could be stipulated as emo. But I still don't really see an emo thing about this at all. In fact, outside the tone, the content itself isn't truly negative in the slightest. They are dark though, but dark isn't really emo, not at all.

Take a look at the work of Giger, he did alot of horror sketching, but would you ever call it emo? I sure as hell hope not. Even Nightmare Before Christmas, which a bunch of fuckass emo's think they identify with, until you ask them about it, and they have no clue what the movie is about, is quite dark, and yet not emo. It is about dissastifaction, but it's more boredom and wanting to expand ones horizons than depressiong. It's like a mid-life crisis, where you go out and buy a Ferrari, not where you want to hang yourself or soemthing.


Anyway, I'm not emo. Not at all. In fact, I'm very happy. I live a fufilling life, and I live through doing what I love, which is movie stuff, and art stuff. I don't listen to emo music either, because, well, it's absolute shite, and I'll shank anyone who disagrees. Well if you go an call Nine Inch Nails emo, then I guess I listen to that, but to me you'd be a fool to say something like that. NIN to me, and to Trent Reznor and he'd know, is more like NBC, in that it's just about not being satisfied and being pissed off. Which isn't what I feel either, but it's something almost everyone will experience, because things aren't always perfect. Plus I love the industrial sound, haha.


K, to round this off. I just drew what I felt like drawing, and slapped random words on it. Yes it's dark, no it's not emo. At least, that's my opinion.

Post by: MRat on December 13, 2007 12:03 AM
Hahah? Yeah, no one mentioend Dimmu being black metal. I'm not even really a big Dimmu fan. But if I were to go ahead and classify them, I'd say Scandinavian Progressive Metal I guess. But it's not that prog-y either on the whole, just some songs.

KingDavid is probably right. A normal post, here? Obviously a trap.
