Ah, finally, I was able to finish and upload this. After about 5 months of not drawing anything serious (light sketches here and there) I wanted to practice drawing some girl lips, so this actually started out as, "yo, son, let's draw some girl lips from ref, 6 seconds, yeah" and just snowballed into that which you see before you. Yeah. Totally unplanned.
But once I started, I couldn't stop. I've mentioned before how these little worm-type monstahs force their way into my work sometimes. Well, they did it again, and from there smart went crazy. That chest tattoo was rough. The effing rose was so annoying and difficult for some reason.
The picture I referenced for the lips was shot by . I also based the girl on the left off of her Candy Girl picture.
I'll be using the pseudonym "Syndrome" from now on.
The chest tattao is a really cool idea =] I also love the wings on her arms! I LOVE the style of the piece at the bottom! The sharp edges are awesome =] The way you wrote "Syndrome" and "Must..not" Is awesome! I need to practice more so i can draw like you xD!
Cools. I'm glad you got to work on ish again. I remember you wanted to draw "realer" looking faces, is this it surfacing or just due to the fact that you used ref? And I like the new name, curious as to why you dropped the old one though.
I'll just reply to both here to avoid separate messages.
First off, thanks so much again, man! Those comments you made last time really pushed me that extra bit to finish this.
The wings, along with the tattoos she has on her fingers, all signify something. There's a little message in there. I'm glad you like the piece, I tried to throw two completely different styles in there.
The monsters were fun. I tried to give them each a bit of personality.

"I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's; I will not reason and compare; my srs bsns is to CREATE."
It's a mix of both I suppose. I was in that life drawing kinda mood, and since I started the ref practice it just kinda went from there. The referencing was pretty light tho, like I would check here and there to see how it was positioned, but then I would free-roam most of it from there. The big lips were the ones i reffed the most, since it was where i started.
The style I want is definitely a bit more stylized. I already have a small drawing done in it. Just gotta refine and practice it.
As far as the name, I got tired of the space in between. I needed something with the same type of "oomph", but more aggressive. Glad you like it, man.
I found it funny how we both uploaded graff and girls practically at the same time.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
