Description
This piece is based on how much we base our decisions off of love. Not condemning it, but rather it intrigues me what those will do in the name of love. Many people have died for love, have fought for love, and have sacrificed for love. It's a powerful feeling that enslaves us, causing us to react in ways we may not deem normal in a clear state of mind, but like they say, Love is intoxicating.2nd traditional piece I've ever attempted with acrylics. It was (key word, was, because it was sold lol)a 18x24 inch stretched canvas with acrylics and india ink. I miss this piece dearly, but at least I have a wonderful jpeg of it's remains.

This is the edgy kind of beautiful.
Reminds me of this guy's work:

your style is amazing. simple, yet loaded with detail from drips and splats and frayed things... creepy yet somehow oddly comforting... as if this creature, though it embodies some of the most iconic horror elements, doesn't come off as something malicious.
your entire gallery is great
btw, check out my group, you might appreciate it since it encompasses your own style, its a group for artwork that features intentional use of dripping, splattering, fraying, ect. [link]

It's very nice. I love the colours on this one. I'm going to experiment with acrylic inks as well. Do you use the acrylic ink first, Drying it and then the india ink?

How do you apply the ink? Just wondering looking into working with it myself

You can use either a quill pen (but tends to cut into the paint) or a super fine paint brush.

THIS IS VERY POWERFUL! WHEN YOU LAYED IT ALL OUT DID YOU USE THE INK FIRST OR THE ACRYLICS? I REALLY ENJOY THIS PIECE

Thanks. I actually had the acrlics down first because at the time I wasn't sure what I was going to create being my first couple times dealing with paints. The image just kinda came together. The mind is a beautiful thing and it tends to reveal emotions and ideals we may not be aware of at the moment

I absolutely love this piece. I can't quite pinpoint WHY it is I love it so much, but something about it is so fantastic, be it the sketchy look or how much the heart drags your attention to it. Fantastic work.
