Default Sab's Art Stuff

Here's a collection of my recent drawings and paintings. I'll update this with as I come up with new stuff.

I tend to paint in black and white because I haven't found a colouring style I like. Usually stuff looks too saturated, or bland, and I end up with something I'm not happy with.

As for subjects, I like drawing people most of all. People, pure and simple, without distracting backgrounds. I don't try to tell a story with my drawings, instead, I try to capture a character, if that makes any sense.

So enjoy, I appreciate any comments you might have. =)

That artwork looks absolutely stunning.

Is it permitted of me to stab the first 2 people who mentioned commissions so I can be the first one to request it?

Some very very nice work. I love them. =3

If you do decide to do commissions, (totally up to you, you're not being forced.) check out the commissions central area.

Cant wait to see more, btw. =3

OMG, those look like photographs! Excellent work. I'd like to jump on the commission bandwagon too.

I was thinking of starting up a commissions thing, but I haven't worked out all the details yet. Since I'm running out of things to do in GW, it might be a good idea to do some art work (seems like there will be a lot o.o). More info later.

AW Lore: I'm glad she's somewhat recognisable lol. She looks so much better than the standard saucer-eyed females in anime.

Shan: Check your PM.

I do love the detail on the gun for Re-l. She is actually one of my favorite anime women. =3

Also that 3rd picture I cant even tell if its a real photo or not. It's great either way, but would be AMAZING if its painted/drawn.

Wow... that is incredible. I had to take several looks at the third picture to work out if it was a photo or not. Just gorgeous!

And a big "pretty please??? " for commisions from me and my husband as well, we will be watching closely to hope that we get in the commision rush

I have to ask... Was that last one done with Charcoal or pencil.. or what? Asking because it reminds me of the charcoal work we did in my college drawing class.. although better than anything I ever turned out

Very nice work.
