Artist's Comments

I decided to put this into portraits only because it is somewhat of a portrait of me, or more to the point, of myself showing my chosen faith through the symbol of a cross. Yep sick puppies, this dude is a Christian. Amazing isn't it given the state of most of my art. Ah well, my art is the outpouring of my innermost onto paper and my innermost is filled with darkness and blood. Darkness because I am a sinner, and blood because Christ shed his for me, thus do I hold his sacrifice closest to me (people can argue that I am white as snow in God's eyes so why am I dark on the inside? Just my personal preferance).

Enjoy
Lucid

I think this is great. Kudos to you. I haven't seen your other art, but even if it is dark, like I have told people...this is your outlet. The Bible never said that being a Christian was being happy all of the time, or having things easy all the time. -Smiles- Again, great work.

Believe me, my art is dark. Everyone needs an outlet to vent. This just happens to be mine. That and writing and believe me, you don't want to read my stories unless you're into the fantasy genre with descriptive gore...yeah....searosanguinous...mmm.

Scratches the back of his head, "Eh....I wouldn't say perfectly, but I do usually accomplish the basic idea of what I had originally wanted. Lots of thumbnails dude. Lots of thumbnails. Never commit to making anything without at least thumbnailing it first."

Nice precise detail in this one. Who ever said that being a Christian meant you had to only draw portraits of Jesus or pictures of happy little butterflies? Maybe drawing those sorts of things weren't our gift and drawing the darker side of things is... Either way, our talents are being used and that's what it’s there for... if I make sense...

No. :skull:

so I had a whole long thing typed out in responce to this (well..longish) and the stupid DA didn't post it and gave me an error message. So now I have to retype it and you're gonna be stuck with a shortened version. My apologies. Yes, it is difficult sometimes to tell that I'm a christian given the dark and macabre aspects of my art, but I figure that first I have to find myself and my style as an artist, then I can use what I've learned to glorify God. In the meantime, I will continue to pour out these sadistic pieces while doing my best to keep God in mind while doing so. God can appreciate my art that I do for Him, even if it isn't the happy sunshiney art that most people would expect.

Lucid~Yeah...the recap was still longish...but not as long as the original message...I think.
:iconno-:
Indeed. Your talent has been given to you to use, and when you do use it and share it with others then can see it and appreciate it and if they know that you are a Christian then maybe they will think about that maybe that is a God given gift, and even if they don't then maybe they can just like it and get to know you and then God's influence and love can flow through you to them then... Yeah. Maybe I should have put a full-stop in there somewhere... Oh well.

No. :skull:

Who needs periods anyways, cause really, I mean who can't read a sentence decorated with a horde of comma's, it's not like we don't just read straight through the whole thing as it is, and you should know as well as I that at least with commas we can still discern on train of full thought from another, os so we hope, although, not everyone is intelligent enough to do so, I guess that means I better use a period now to make it easier for them.

In regards to all the Christian thoughts of yours, I concur. There isn't really much else that needs to be said and to do so would be pointless and redundant.

Lucid~Ah...the cut on my hand has begun to heal.
