Here's a new drawing from a series I'm starting

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

It's sort of a play on green-man faces. This was just started recently. The strict-symetry is there for composition. The right sude will be redrawn more naturally.

[Perry Logan]

1. Whoa!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

38. are you riding a horse?

:D

[Phillycat]

2. Very cool!

I like the symmetry, actually. I have a linear mind like that. :) The colors are great too!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Thanks - I'm trying to use pop-arty/tattooish elements and colors

just because I guess.

Thanks sweets.

[JVS]

3. the flower is asymmetrical though, or is the axis of symmetry skewed?

Cool pic. Reminds me of a head shop

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. The flower's asymetrical

You flatter me. I wonder how it'll look under a black light.

5. It's terrific!

Do you use a software program for the 'abstract' portions? :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. My brain is soft - I think.

No - I draw with a computer tablet straight into Adobe Illustrator

[QueenOfCalifornia]

28. Well then

it is quite amazing.

I see bones and flowers -

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. Like HR Giger I am influenced by bones and like Alphonse Mucha I'm

influenced by flowers

[ThomCat]

8. That is awesome! And the either the whole thing,

or even just the flower (lotus? chrysanthemum?) would make a great tattoo.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. Chrysanthemum

It's drawn after a tattoo so - there ya go

[flvegan]

9. You drew that?

Holy crap, that's good.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Yup - and thanks

I appreciate it. It's not done yet but I'm getting there. The next one withh have an aquatic theme methinks.

[flvegan]

15. What is it for, so to speak?

What are you designing/painting, etc.

I'm tres impressed with your talent.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. Well - I plan to animate them

It's fine art work (I'm an illustrator) so it's just for my own expression. But a gallery show is something I've always wanted to do here in NYC. We'll see.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

[MrCoffee]

10. wow. impressive.

please let us know when the next one in the series is ready for showing

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. Will do

I think the central focus of the next one will be a sea urchin shell

[DS1]

11. The Grateful Dead meet HR Giger

:)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. I like to think Alphonse Mucha meets Rick Griffin meets Giger

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

12. green-man faces?

What are they?

Also, you added shading since I last saw it, right? Nice work.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

16. Green Man

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

23. That's bullshit.

Tell me what it really means. What are you hiding?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. Guess

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

25. Does it mean the planet's dying?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. What do you think?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

27. Why are you answering my question with a question?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

29. Guess.

[swag]

20. Looks great.

Quite lovely, sir.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Why thank you very much, my good man

*bows*

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Very nice!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. Thanks

:thumbsup:

[BarenakedLady]

30. Wow, that's really cool

What medium is that?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. Digital - drawn with a computer tablet and pen

thanks!

[skyblue]

34. Great job.

I know jack shit about art. However the left and right ends of the design reminds of some kind of instrument, the "butterfly" reminds of some metal object or some kind of feature that would be on a fairy tale book from the olden days. The flower is "alive" and waving you in. So lots of interesting elements there. Very wavy/breezy. And like you said earlier it's tatooey. Great job.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. Cool - thank you. My 1st influences were "children's books" or Fairy Tales

Illustrated by the golden age of illustrators so that is praise indeed. My next step is to animate them - I'll post what t looks like when I am done - shouldn't be too too long

Thanks again

[SPKrazy]

36. very cool!

i like it, very good!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

37. Thanks - when the animations are under way

I'll update :thumbsup:
