Artist's Comments

Self portrait in charcoal. I attempted to show my depression in a visual form. Blank look on my face even though i've been stabbed in the neck 4 times. Circuit boards take over my face showing how i hide behind technology. This picture is just me a normal average artist just trying to get by and live through the shame that i wont ever amount to much. The picture is based on a Hans Rudi Giger piece who a idol of mine. The assignment was to take an artist IE Giger and use his style to create a self portrait. So kudos to GIGER who is an amazing artist and everyone should look up his work. He was an amazing man.

Daily Deviation

Given 2004-04-29

As I write this, :devThaticanYaks: has a whopping 15 pageviews. In his short time, he submitted excellent work, including The Self Loathing. It is a great charcoal drawing with a certain Giger feel. Not only graphically stunning, but also emotional and true to the artist's feelings. An overall great piece of work. (Featured by `dinyctis)

A wonderful piece with an equally wonderful description. There's a good deal of emotion and feeling in this piece and I really empathize with you. You've found a wonderful outlet as you release some of your feelings into your art and we, the community, get to see what's going on with you in such a vivid way. I'm hoping to see more pieces like this very soon. :)

I definately see a Giger influence... Very good rendering, lots of detail esp. with charcoal. How big is the original?

I really like the subtler things, though, like the crow and the eye peering through the lock, any particular reason for their placement? My only criticism is I wish the crow flowed into the hairline rather than stopping abruptly. Everything else flows so nicely in this, I suppose that makes it more noticable.

Keep up the good work.

Very Gieger. Very powerful, and wonderfully done. Really amazing, that it's done in such a messy media. The elements just make this pop. Congrats on the Daily Dev Feature ^^

very creative, surreal. lovely details and the shading and the reference to it title. great subject approach - the concept of 'loathe' is fantastic.

definitely a powerfull image. i can relate only too well to this. which even though one would think i should be ashamed of, im not. id rather be who i am and find someone i can relate to than lie to myself more than i already do. and this picture really speaks to me. glad they DD'd, otherwise id have never found it. *fave*

i comment because i think your art is worthy of being critiqued. not cos i whore myself. not cos i care about being returned the favor. cos *you* deserve it. get it through your heads. if you think i deserve something, thats cool too.
