Okay, this is my absolute favourite type of project. It takes forever, but love it anyways. I hope you enjoy!

I did this one first.

I started this in math class and finished it five hours later... And it killed my pen!

Absolutely beautiful. It's so refreshing to find something on this board that doesn't look like a poor copy from Christopher Hart's Guide to Genericism. My only suggestion is to invest in some better tools. It looks like you used a ball-point (gel?) pen. Go with brush and ink or a brush-tipped marker for a more professional look. Still, truely wonderful.

Thank you, I indeed have to go buy new pens and I'll keep the ones you have suggested in mine. It took a long time when the pen was fine tipped.

These are absolutely great, and the second one is especially awesome. The ground design is almost mind-blowing.

Already blew my mind. But that's clearly water in the second one.

Well, we all see art in different ways.

Hey guy, thanks for your positive comments I (as many of us do) like to here my art being praised, also to let you know I am currently working on a new one. I'll post it later today (hopefully)

Yes, the second one has a pheonix sitting on a moon with fire, also the first one (you may not have noticed) is a bird steadily taking off flight. Now, this is the picture I announced earlier in the day, Ha ha I was going to give you info on it then but... I was in graphic arts and my teacher was coming near me so I had to type fast and then close the internet. This picture was mainly a test to see whether humans could work with this type of project.

Oh! and I took Nepenthe's advice and used a different pen ^^.

how long did these take you on average? The first one immediately reminds me of native americans for some reason, and the second one sort of reminds me of wiccan stuff... it's really good, and it reminds me of some of my black and white ink stuff.

These pictures take me around 5 hours each, the pheonix took 6 and my very first one (which I don't like) took 12 hours to do.

This is my first ever, see how crowded it is? I think I should have left out the back ground. This thing took me 12 hours to finally finish it, and like 2 pens (both fine tipped marker) and by the end my hand was stuck in a crippled state (very painful).

You've got an excellent grasp on shape and light. Very few people can draw use negative space like you do here. Kinda like a softer Frank Miller.
