[Nominus Experse]

An eight or nine hour Pen and Ink drawing that aims to convey several instances of emotion and varying topics concerning the popular commercialism and stigma of sex and one's body.

Critique or comment if you wish - such things are, naturally, always welcome.


Enjoy, or something...

Haha i love this! The way you use your ink is extremely good. It's hard to identify what the subject is, but i like it all the same. Good work NM, and nice to see you posting again. Keep it up.

>>> Creepy stuff, good shading and detail..

Ooo, it has an outlet as a face and plug-like tentacles. That's clever. Though, I'm not sure what thing is hanging on the side. It looks like a scrotum. Let's hope it isn't. I love how everything is symbolic and eerie. Well done!

I'm fairly sure it is a scrotum.

You do very fine detail work. I actually didn't know you were an artist until now, but I'm glad to have this as my first experience of your work. I love its expression, shocked (haha), vulnerable and almost hurt. Yet it still gives off the air of being very powerful and very intimidating. Very paradoxical, in my opinion. Great work.

Don't look now, but your scrotum has nipples.

[No_face]

your technique is brilliant, I love the way you shaded the torso and the eyes are just whoa awesome.

The face I love so very much, do you have any more? Id love to see what eles youve got.

Glad you like it.

My aim was to encompass a paradoxical view on sexuality and innocence.

And yes, I have begun drawing once more, so perhaps we shall see more of my.. stuff... uploaded.

Thank you, black orb. Like most drawings, it's the shading that takes the longest, and requires the highest degree of concentration. I hate, but love it...

Yes, most of my works are symbolic. Most of my drawings aren't planned, and are fueled primarily by my present mood and thoughts.

And it's both a scrotum and not.

Thank you, foa.

It would seem that you are not the only one who doesn't realize I am an artist, seeing as I wasn't even nominated for such a category in the last Ciddies, but meh...

And yes, it was most definitely meant to be a paradoxical piece. Seeing that someone managed to gather this gives me a measure of pleasure.

Doesn't everyone's. It's interesting, because most men that I have shown this seem to see scrotum, and women tend to see hanging breasts.

Heh.

In due time, I will likely have other polished pieces up for anyone to... enjoy, or whatever it is you do when you look at my art.
