Altered some colors and textures, and fixed an anatomical issue. It looks better now. 'Least, to me it does.

..... Wow, I'm actually proud of this one.

....

I'm going to take the same route a friend of mine usually takes and torture the viewers of this by not actually writing a proper description and letting them guess the symbolism themselves, even though I'm probably the only one who's going to get it, unless you know the character well enough.

Sirius and artwork (c) me

I colored this in such a strange way compared to what I normally do..... Can you believe that for most of this I only used a 3 pixel sized brush? Hah....

*edit 2*

Somebody wrote a poem about this. [link] Go give him love; it's amazing. :C

I think this is one of my favorites too, out of what you've done.

and I dunno if I'm getting the same symbolism as you wanted to give off for Sirius (though I think I have a pretty good guess), but I can relate to this in many ways and I imagine most people can too. This picture sums up a lot of how I feel at the moment.

I adore this style of coloring and I think it would be neat to see more of it from you in the future. Fantastic work.

Oh my!! I think as individuals, this picture has symbolism that all speaks differently to us. But the first thing that came to mind is the thought of overwhelming dread as a direct result of the realization of the future. And now it is time to let the truth settle in. Just like drowning, it is permanent. Thats my own view on this, and it is how i can relate to it, but i may be completely off...but nonetheless, Sublime quality as always! :+fav: :love: :clap:

Hah, thank you.

I think that whatever you're thinking is probably accurate, as what I'm trying to portray more than likely is relatable to a lot of people at the moment....

:hug: I plan on it. ^^; Only problem is, when I'm done, the drawing is so tiny, and it takes forever.

Our wieghts, worries, and our burdens can get to us sometimes. A lot of the time, we let them get the better of us and at times, it feels like we are drowning in a sea of our own woes.

Wow... Just wow. Definately one of if not, my fave. He looks... REAL. I can tell what he'd feel like just by the pic. The details are amazing. It's realistic but it still have your trademark style. He doesnt look like a fantasy at all, he looks like he exisists. Everything looks so right. Very well done TTB. ^^

Like everyone else said so far: "I love this!"
I love the texture, the great amount of detail and time you put into this. I love how the blood flows upward through the floor boards. I just love every aspect of this picture! :love: Well done! :aww:

5 monkeys swinging in a tree

that is some serious detail. I never could've done that much with a 3 pixel sized brush. It really is true of meaning. I love the water affect as well. Based on the mood of this pic I can tell he's suffering from all the killings he does?
or something else is bugging him.
