Stroll

Started as a speed paint and it got away from me at some point a few hours ago. More of an exercise than a "finished" piece.

Apparently I'm quite obsessed with the apocalypse I keep drawing scenes from the end of the world.. Gotta quit listening to M83 while I draw...

Just set it as wallpaper

Even the though the main subject of the pic is the man and the most of the background is white this still craps on many other apocalyptic pics of art

The apocalypse looks a little too pleasant.

I understand that it's a speed painting/exercise but why is the backround so bright? It's looks like summer, I don't know about you but I don't imagine as the apocalypse being all warm and fuzzy. Sure you darken it up a little with the hangman but it's so bright and nice. I imagine the apocalypse a little darker with dark clouds on the horizon and destroyed cities in the background. I do like the smoking man however. Though the face construction is a little weird and his eyes look like those of a crystal meth addict, beard down he's fine except for two issues. His right hand looks...off. As if it's outside of the sleeve but still not. And due to it looking like summer I don't know why he would have on a neck scarf, unless he likes keeping his neck warm. It's good however, considering it's a exercise.

BansheeIndian responds:

I'll definitely take the criticism on the face and the hand, that's fair enough.

As far as the other stuff goes I think it's a bit of an odd criticism. Like the content of the picture is just that, it is what it is. Maybe he's not cold maybe he's covering up from the heat, maybe he is on meth, maybe he's quitting meth cold turkey and he feels like he's freezing even if its warm outside. Maybe he's not around a city? That would explain why theres no city in the background.

Maybe after the end of the world there are still seasons and this scene happened in the summer?

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm irate, I'm not. I just think it would be silly to, let's just say, give a piece of madness art a more critical review because he doesn't have a neck or arms. That's just how he is. right?

Anyways I definitely see what you mean on that right hand it's bothering me now, i might have to fix it haha. I still can't quite place what's wrong with the face but when I get a handle on it I'll probably fix that too.

Thanks for the indepth review!
