Brave New Grounds by MikeDavins

Brave New Grounds

"I always knew environmentally friendly was just a gimmick."

In this doodle, you can see my damnedest attempt at drawing a real looking birdie. Unfortunately, it ended up just looking like the rest I drew up. So, I also tried doodling up a decent backdrop as well.

Final result : Darkest picture I drew to date. However, compared to my other dark picture which was drawn two months ago, I'd say some improvement was made.

It's weird, it's pictures like this that take me the longest because of the work I put into them, however my cartoony pictures seem to be more favored. Oh well, not going to lie I enjoy those more too.

    I still can't get over how badass this picture was. It's so.. bewildering and surreal. I think that red haze in the sky really made the picture come to life. It makes for an excellent backdrop behind the hawk and at the same time puts off an 'evil corporation' vibe behind the factory warehouse. Any time when things. no matter how simple, like the colors make someone's imagination run is when you know you've made a masterpiece. Gorgeous work.

      Thanks Pash, that means a lot. That's awesome that you spotted the small red haze I put there, at first I didn't think I added enough, thanks for dismissing that thought. I'm glad it gives the 'evil' sort of feel to it, it's actually a hidden message. I will someday make another whack at something 'detailed' like this. Thanks again for the big comment, I really like reading them.

    This looks really good! I always like how you challenge yourself with art, I admire that! I still shy away from buildings and such sometimes.

      Thanks a bunch, Teavian! I did try hard on this one, but it didn't get much reception, so I feel I should focus more on cartoony drawings rather then going for realism.

        No worries, just do whatever is most fun! :>
