Description
This picture started with the idea of just making an avatar of one of my earlier Utopia accounts, Utopia is a free textbased strategy game where you get your own province in a kingdom of other players. In the kingdom forum there we had well heated roleplaying, and much of it, Lady Rottenbrain was my character, and seeing as I'd already made a thorough character description of her in the forum, I figured I might as well just make the avatar into a drawing, then colour it with photoshop, I think the little ghoul thing is her science advisor.There's a million things wrong with this picture, and I'm going to explain them to you, cuz I'm sick and tired of people just going
"I wasn't satishfied with the picture, it turned out bad" without actually giving the reasons to why it wasn't good.
First of all, the moon should be round, and I could've easily fixed that, I had the artistc tools to do it, but I was just fucking lazy.
Same goes for perspective.. perspective? What the fuck am I talking about? There IS no damn perspective in this piece-of-shit image. I should've constructed all the things, like the tombstones, they have nothing to do with each other perpectively.
Speaking of the scenery, I had a crypt in my mind, and I draw a fucking greek temple? What the fuck is that? I should've made a greater effort in this picture, I might not have concidered it important seeing as the original idea was a damn avatar.
Moving on, Lady Rottenbrains' left arm ain't right, if you trace the lines you'll find that her arm can't be jointed to her left shoulder, seeing as it should end up somewhere in her ribs, and that's fucked. I also think placing the moon in the middle top of the picture was a bad idea, makes a fucked composition if anything. Now, 'cept for that which I've already mentioned, many of the objects are just inaccurately drawn, like the cross-tombstone with no text, the sircle there isn't correct either.
Except for all the reasons this picture is technically bad, it's sort of a clichè too. Like real goth emo dark fantasy shit, if it hadn't been for the fact that the ghoul has got a kilt. And yes, what shit am I filled with? Going the typical and making the man the short, funny, and unserious character of the image, and the girl just a pretty dead woman with nonrotten tits and no ugly markings, 'cept for the part of her right arm where you can see her bones, but I liked that idea. Yes, one of the few things I'm happy about. Also I really liked her eyeshadowing, is real sexy me thinks.
