Zombie Vase

I made this in 8th grade (middle school=DeviantArt.com :confused: ) during lunch and studyhall one day. I dont know why, but at the time i remember being exceedingly proud of it.

I was going through my archieves (the garbage bag of papers under my bed) and came across it, and just wanted to know what you guys think.

Now, im not a huge fan of the title i chose when i was 13, but, i decided not to change it.

its just 2b pencil on paper, and then “scanned” (but really i just took a picture of it with a digital camera)

i apologize for the poor quality.

Comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as i think after finding this i may turn it into a painting.

Pretty darn good for thirteen: – both in subject and execution.
…Life out of death?
…Beauty out of the heart when the corruptible mask has passed away?

If i find more, i’ll post it. In retrospect, it was really dark, and pretty free flowing with the symbolism for the time. I think my style took a turn for the worst lately, maybe i’ll go back.

…My thoughts.

Flowers and beauty rising towards the light, while grime and stupor slowly fall to the ground.

I’ll say this for ya after seeing two more of your artworks: – you sure do draw a lot of oozing.
Were you into macabre role-playing games at the time?

ok, aparently, according to my younger sister who yelled at me.

I was 14

I really enjoyed that one! =D> Ok, so it’s a bit morbid, yes, but it is still very creative! Way to go! Interesting, lively, organic mode of drawing. I like distorting the human image as well. Believe it or not, I drew a woman with a head hanging from her mouth once, cannibal-style. So cannibal’s hair flows down straight into the hair that hangs down from the head’s long straight hair. A critique on the ruthlessness of modern society, I guess. I draw poles through people’s hearts and stuff as well. I’m totally not a sadist or anything, I guess, I’m the victim being depicted in most of my pics, so, yeah. But keep up your cool stuff. I like the “old-school, mysterious edge” to it that the brown paper gives. :smiley:
