Portrait: Croweby ~Taikata

Customization / Icons / Avatars / Other

Or, 'figs' on Furcadia. =]
I'm sorry there's no recording of me painting this one, as I said I wanted to do! This port was really different to the others i've done and the pressure of being watched wasn't helping me get my head around it, so maybe next time! This is also why I've not posted a port in a while!

I love the concept of Crowe. As ~22mg said:
''He lives in a land of the "conceived" which includes anything and everything anyone has ever thought of. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes terrifying. Usually both. If you have a taste of doing something surreal, even Crowe himself can look distorted, often specifically "drippy". ''

I really wanted to think about the colours you see when you close your eyes after seeing a bright light, the distortion of old VHS tapes on screen, and how sometimes in dreams, you're looking at something you clearly recognise, usually 3 stark images at once, (in this case, the eyes and teeth), but the rest of it kind of blur and vaguely represent the rest of it, even though you think you're seeing something fully intact.

I LOVE things which are set in the mind, in dreams specifically, so this one was special! Do you think I pulled it off the way i've intended?

Do not steal/use/edit/claim as your own/trace/copy/post anywhere else but in a link/thumbnail that returns to this exact page. Unless you are the owner of the port, who can do all of the above but claim that they drew it.}

this looks like it was fun xD I like the colours on the left and the repeating eyes.. and the glitched chin. Having such an original character helps I suppose!

~Taikata Aug 4, 2012

The eyes were fun, but also very quick to do, they usually are. =[
Hehe, I had practice with the TV glitching effect on that Moomin picture. XD

~Tabon Aug 5, 2012 Student Digital Artist

I was thinking that xD

Awesome concept. I love the TV static effect.

~Taikata Aug 2, 2012

Thankyou very much!

This is so odd, crazy. Such interpretive colors. A total success I believe.

~Taikata Aug 1, 2012

Thankyou ever so much!

~Taikata Aug 1, 2012

No problem, I'm very glad that you like it!

~pinkiepi Jul 31, 2012

This is stunning! The idea is well conveyed, and it reminded me of strange, surreal dreams even before I'd read the description!
