Experimental Short: The Pick UpYou're not like everyone else here, are you?' Said the slender girl, her eyes intensely focused, but deep down they had no hint of real interest. She has played this game many times before, and has become very good at it.

'Not like everyone else here?' He replied through moist lips, after pulling the half empty glass away from his mouth and beard. 'Everyone else is not like everyone else here.' He pointed out into the dance floor. 'Look over there, at the guy with the sleeveless top and muscles.'

The girl looked, puzzled at an answer that was not the usual.

'He looks just like every other man here, near enough, and he's accepted because of
Experimental Short: ChoiceHow is it that a tool of death is also a tool for creating? It is like this: the battlefield is paint, cast across the canvas that is our world; and the sword is the brush, its strokes illustrating the wants and needs of men, expressing and bringing to life greater ideals and ways of living.

Unlike other implements, the sword is a weapon of choice, a weapon to use in designing your own destiny.

The knife has no love to it, it is a blade to sink into the back of an enemy. To kill out of spite, out of jealousy or hate. Not to further one's self, but to satiate a darker desire. The rifle has no foresight, killing from such a distance that the
Experimental Short: NothingHis reflection in the building windows showed no relief, there was none of that expected contentedness in this. Looking down, the cement that he had come to hate quickly rose up towards him, dull grey turning to black under his shadow on approach, and then Malcolm was dead.

It is difficult for people, like you and I, to truly understand the meaning of death, of Nothingness. I capitalise to emphasize the strange, unknowable state that is Nothingness.
Where once there was ground beneath our feet, with stones under a shoe or sand between toes, in death there is none.
Wind no longer blows, water no longer flows, and the same could be said for

Working on a new colouring process, used by the original illustrator. Going from greyscale paints to colour. I need to work on it, but it has potential.

Looking great man! That process is thorough but tough for me as I get impatient and need to see color immediately to know I'm going in the right direction. When I color my greyscale work, I feel there's something lacking and I end up repainting parts of the final piece, but this looks really complete. The shading for the draping fabric and the rippling ribbon is immaculate.

Thanks man.

Yeah, it was a long process, but I put that down to the fact that it was my first time working like this on lineart. Getting the colours the way I wanted them was also difficult. It's easy to get a washed out look in the shades, but I've got a way to deal with that. It doesn't have the pop my colours usually have, but I'm working on it.

Lovely!! I think I like this color scheme more than mine.
The shading style matches the line perfectly.
How was the B&W shading method work out for you?

Glad you like it man, I went with a similar colour scheme as yourself. Mine is much darker though, as I used a pre-existing palette.

The black and white shading is possibly the best technique I've found up until now. Creating detail is easier when I'm not worrying about colour. I'll be using this more in the future, when I find the lineart to practise on. I'd like to not just continue on characters, but apply it to environments also.

Thanks for the lines, and for the tips!
