Thank you, guys! :)

I don't think that's macabre (...I'm creepy anway) but interesting stuff to build stories!

I think also it's not that creepy... well, what people often call "creepy" was always kinda fascinating for me. Especially when I startet to think about the character's feeling.


Too much happiness is creepy for me (like Teletubbies or something else). :sick: :dead: THAT is macabre to watch!

dripik_12 01-02-2007 03:08 AM

Interesting to hear your personal thoughts about creepiness. :)

I totally agree with that! :D

New "creepy" art style. Teletubbies. Teletubbies with horns. With horns and trident things.

Creepy Doc 01-03-2007 07:28 AM

You're killing me with your macabre ideas, Arxryl.

Matriar 01-03-2007 12:14 PM

I came up with the title for this picture. :D

"Release the beast or it will hold you captive forever...!"

Actually, it's a picture which I drew many months ago. But this is the colored version.
Here's the concept and the final sketch.

Arxryl 01-03-2007 12:18 PM

Very cool! Good work on that! I like how the creature looks!

Matriar 01-03-2007 12:27 PM

Thank you, Arxryl! :) Glad, you like it.

Creepy Doc 01-03-2007 01:04 PM

Whoah, great creature! :eek:
The concept looks nice too. And I truely like the creepiness of that spider-insect-like beast. :D
Good job!

WOW:eek: Beautiful picture, Judith!:eek: I really like it!

Oddys 01-08-2007 01:38 PM

You know my opinion about this picture, but again: I like it. :)

Matriar 01-08-2007 01:41 PM

Thanks, dripik_12! :)


Okay, when I was really bored I came up with the idea to draw a comic-styled picture about my consciences.
May I introduce you to them.
I have four consiences and three of them are bad ones. :evil:
The residual one I ignore all the time. :p

I'm not good in drawing myself. :dead:

I always kinda look like a boy then. :eek:

Yes, and "he" looks like my brother in the times before he lost all of his hairs. :D


Nice work.

*IsAshamedBecauseSheGotTheConfirmationThatSheReallyLooksLikeABoy* :fuzemb: :fuzemb:

Oddys 01-08-2007 02:10 PM

You don't look like a boy. Just this picture. ^^

Matriar 01-08-2007 02:31 PM

Exactly. :sick:

Oh, well. I must copy a photo in future...

Creepy Doc 01-09-2007 02:50 AM

Hahaha, great picture! :lol: I like that idea of drawing one's consiences.

Hmm, nah. I don't think you look like a boy if this is a little comfort to you. :)

dripik_12 01-09-2007 07:54 AM

Hehe Nice picture!:evil: I really like it! and maybe I'm blind cuz you not look like a boy on this picture for me:D

dripik 01-10-2007 06:23 AM

*checks page 7 of WDYLL in OT*

Well, maybe it's because of the neck. It looks a bit wide in my opinion. And removing that faded line on the left side of the nose should make it look different.

Othervise, it looks great, liked the humour. And the previous picture is awesome, I like those wines/tentacles covering the ground.

Matriar 01-23-2007 03:37 AM

Thanks you, Dripik! :)

1. Trio leader (better quality than last time)

2. Trio leader (also better)

3. I'm not sure, whether I showed this one before. Actually, it's an old drawing of mine. But I still do like it...

4. This is a sketch of the autumn sprite and his quardian. I plan to color it soon.

5. The Girl With The Muzzle. It's a sketch yet. I can't remember when exactly she appeared in my stories. But she's an interesting character for me. This is her story:

"Once, a too long time ago, she lived in a dark forest and protected it as long as she could. At that time, she was a human but also a beast-like creature. Until the moment when men came and captured her. Immediately, they sent her to the most gloomy and quite prison they found. The men enchained her and gave her a muzzle that she couldn't bite or even move right anymore.
From this time on, nobody came ever back to her. Not even to give her food or drinking and not even to tell her why she had to be in that prison at all.

After months and years, her beast-like look removed and she looked more like a normal girl. Well, she didn't die of hunger... but she really looked terrible. Meanwhile she was just skin and bones and her eyes lost everything what made them look alive. Now they were just like black, dead holes.

And still nobody was there. Just nobody.

The Girl With The Muzzle often tried to break out of this place before. She did everything. Everything.
But nothing helped at last.
So she kept sitting. And thinking.

One day, somebody appeared. The Girl With The Muzzle wasn't sure if it was another captive because he wasn't chained. And he doesn't look like one of those men which she knew.
When he appeared, a creature what looked lion-horse-dragon-like, the girl didn't hear his steps when he came in. Well, he didn't make noise at all.
Later, The Girl With The Muzzle pondered whether he was a illusion... or a ghost, because she rarely could touch him.
Her mysterious friend didn't hurt her. And didn't release her too.

Sometimes he appeared and sometimes he disappeared.

But The Girl With The Muzzle still couldn't escape from this prison yet."

WOW!:eek: Cool pictures!:D I like the 4th the 1st and the 2nd pics the most!:D Great work!!!:D;)

Creepy Doc 01-23-2007 09:22 AM

Great pictures! The story about that girl with the muzzle is kinda sad though.
My favorite pic is the autumn sprite and his quardian. Can't wait to see the colored version!

Good job as always. :)

Thanks! Well, it will take long, until you see the finished version because I have lots of other stuff to do too. (:()
But I'll surely show it when it's colored, I promise!

Oh, that's no problem at all. :)
I know when you're finished with coloring, the picture will look great and that's always worth the waiting.

Those are realy good. What program did you use to colour in the "Release the beast or it will hold you captive forever...!"

Arxryl 01-25-2007 01:36 PM

Those look absolutely marvelous! Great job on them. They look like they took quite a while.

Ooh yes, they really did take a while. Actually, I didn't count the time what they took but worked some hours almost every day. Well, the days became months sometimes, hehe. :p

moxco 01-27-2007 05:27 PM

Well I got pic that I drew And its been scaned on my computer. Apperantly my pockets are emty :( after buying an xbox360 :)and i cant aford any program that you have to pay for, do you know any free digital imaging programs????

Matriar 01-28-2007 02:22 AM

Sorry, I don't. :(
My brother has installed Photoshop that I use years ago, so I didn't have to pay it. I guess, it's pretty expensive...

(Glad to see someone who is that enthusiasm in design and imaging:))

The Heartless Creature

Here's my creature again. That one who pulled out his own heart because he couldn't stand the pains anymore (he survived it because he's a special kind of creature). I don't have a name for him yet.

His story with which I came up is interesting. Well, for me at least.
Okay, I'll tell you now but I would be really really glad if you don't use it for your own stories!
When you want to draw pictures about it, please send me a note before and put my name in your comment then. Thanks.

You know, he's a character of mine which I am pretty proud of... would be cool if you do my that big favor.

Here's the story:

After he pulled out his heart, he feels that this was a great mistake of his life because he can't feel everything else what could make him happy too. After noticing that his heart is dead forever now, he looks for different ones to use in place of it. And so, his great journey begins.
First he goes to the graveyards, digs out some corpses (the one which are somewhat in good condition) but notices that they don't work when he puts them in his chest.
So he looks for alive ones later...

Well, that's what I have in mind so far.

You must know, he doesn't do that because he's evil or because it's just fun to kill. At the moment he lost his heart he also lost his attitudes so he became like... innocent.
And that is what made me love that character. :)

I know, I am weird.

John Silver- Treasure Planet

Well, this is not really a "personal artwork" but I wanna show it anyway, because I actually had really fun while drawing that guy. :D
Once I wanted to try to draw my favorite character in Treasure Planet, John Silver. I know the original story of Treasure Island but like that John Silver more because he's like a father to Jim Hawkins. Besides, I really like how they made him cyborg-like. The great combination of different animations is also a part that kind of fascinated me.
And, of course, I like Silver's character. He's like a good bad guy.

When I sat down (surrounded by artworks about him) and tried to make the first lines of him I was like "...oh. Where to start now?".
Silver has a face that is actually difficult to draw (and his arm at all) what almost desperated me, the first time.
So, when I was finished with beeing despairing of that challenge (took me a half hour), I just started. Even it needed really much of practice, I think I made it to draw some "kinda John-Silver-like" sketches. I learnt pretty much about different expressions while I worked for this. Wrinkles, facial expressions and stuff, you know...
I always tried to get his peronality right, so I sticked to the artworks of Disney first. Maybe I'm gonna try some own drawn expressions and poses later.

By the way, that little ghost-like thing that eats the cookie is Morph. He's the pet of Silver and Silver loves him. Morph is often funny and cute... and that's what makes me hate him for some reason...!

Heh, well, I had to draw him anyway when I drew John Silver.

Creepy Doc 02-04-2007 12:58 PM

Great sketches, I like them all! :)
Heh, it's cool to see how artists tell about their works like this. ;)

dripik_12 02-05-2007 07:07 AM

The second picture has also much more details. :) I think, it's also my favorite but I do like the first one too. :)

Matriar 02-06-2007 06:54 AM

This comic strip was inspired when I watched those guys on the streets who wanted to get a charitable donation. But they never really got any, I think.
So I thought about how I would do this convincingly...

Enjoy:

dripik_12 02-06-2007 06:59 AM

:lol:funny comic:lol: poor guyXD..........great job!:)

Creepy Doc 02-06-2007 07:38 AM

:D:D Now this was hilarious.
Especially because I think, it's as if the girl just turned into a beast when she got angry. :lol: In the first picture she looks so cute and innocent and in the last picture... like a werewolf. :laugh:

Great job!
