Dark Deeds


The Crossing, rendered in charcoal and graphite. I can only vaguely remember the influences that led up to the drawing - a Gene Wolfe story, certainly, and perhaps one too many Japanese screen paintings. I also forced myself to use a more unusual perspective mostly as a personal challenge, but I think it strengthened the piece in the end.

I think the bleeding fellow on the ground is a self-portrait, if I remember correctly.


Chapel Inverse started with a pretty memorable dream I had back when I started school, then somehow got tangled with Okami in the intervening years. I don't think the reference really registered with the class, though.
