Artist's Comments

After the success of the experiment with inked lines [link] I decided to try my non-photo blue pencils with regular pencil lines to see if it still worked.
It does! Look at that! Not a sketch line to be seen, and they're all still in the original drawing. Total awesomesauces.

The picture itsef is one I've been meaning to do for a long time...I really like it when it rains. Not in the emo "I'm only happy when it rains" sense (though I do like that song) but in the sense that rain genuinely makes me feel happy. It puts a smile on my face a lifts my spirits. But this is something people just don't get, and I can't explain it (what nut would be happy that it's raining? yeesh!) so I thought "a picture's worth a thousand words" why don't I draw it?

So I did. This guys isn't anyone. He's not a character anywhere. He was just constructed for this picture. So there's no story to him. The idea with the blood was that the rain was washing it off his face. Doesn't quite work, but I'm still happy with it. I like drawing ruins.

He looks kinda like a pirate *laugh* that wasn't intentional.

:XD: double creepy... I had a friend that had a radio show called "Awesome Sauce" and I also enjoy the rain... well... heavy rain or thunderstorms anyways... I get anxious and moody if i's overcast or lightly raining. To me the rain revives me... like a shower :XD:.

Nice picture :3 and I have to agree, he looks a bit like a pirate.

Looks really great, I love the colouring! I love rain too, esp under canvas.

Well, I love it right before when it rains... or even better, before storms! It' s so moody and I actually hop around and laugh, maybe that' s why none of our neighbours greets me? ;P

*sigh* I haven' t forgotten about your picture, it WILL be ready... sometime... *dies*

Thanks! I tend to color things really brightly, so I really had to reign myself in to keep the colors muted. I think it paid off though.

Heh. To be honest, I'm not sure when/why I started saying "awesomesauces" it's just become part of my vocabulary. I like weird words :D

Thanks for the comment!

Hahaha! I think you hit the nail on the head there that it "revives". Rain is refreshing, rejuvenating, a good hard rain is like standing under a waterfall - EVERYWHERE! Gotta love it!

I've been wanting to do a pirate story for ages...maybe it's creeping into my art. XD

I was so happy with the coloring because I tend to use such brilliant colors all the time. I actually managed to pull off one that had a muted pallet. (Though it took some effort on my part XD)

Mmmm...I'm glad it's raining here right now, all you peaople and your talk (and my picture) would make me sad if it weren't XD
