OLD ART O__O


Despite of its flaws, I still like that old piece. I exactly don't know why. Its simpleness ? That VERY Tim Burton-ish style ? The pose of Jimdry (Jimèdre in French)..?


THE STORY BEHIND THIS :

Well, I drew this in 2004 and I was REALLY proud. I mean, really, REALLY proud for once... and that was incredible because that year, I had the worst depression of my life. I won't give further details, but that piece helped me a lot to believe about my future, projects, characters, etc.... Even if I'm still never satisfied of my art, I don't thing about Death like the same way I used to be.

Do you really think I've got a Grim Reaper character just because it's "COOL" and trendy ? -_- No way. "Jimdry Kartler"... damn, the concept is such a LONG story. It's no accident that I choose to have such a character.

No wonder why that project is still unfinished... but the plot is already one of my personal favorites.



Art belongs to ME. Do NOT use it without my permission.
Media : charcoal & white pencil on blue paper (& restoration by Photoshop CS3)

It seems like he his hold up hope in his hand (or at least a metaphor of it). It is something to be proud of despite the small flaws. It's the message in it that is important.

I agree, this has a definite Burtonesque feel to it, it's really gracefull and darkly fantastic. I'm big on Art therapy, you should be proud of this one, it's beautiful in it's own right.

If it's anything like it saved me, I can imagine quite a bit! I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't have drawn out my problems or written as an escape :( Got me this far though so i'm not complaining :)

This is why it's important to draw & write for ourselves before anything else. :3
