Artist's Comments
You may have seen the lineart for this on my old account.
This new account signifies a new outlook and perspective on my art and life in general. Although I wish I could transfer all of the beautiful comments, pageviews, favourites and watches from my previous account - I cannot. But I know that the change is something I need to do, to distance myself from things that have past, and start fresh for the future. Another stage in my life has started, and this new account will signify that I hope. Technical Specs: Lineart: Artliner 210 Felt-tip marker. (Scanned) Colouring: Stock Macromedia Fireworks brushes at various transparencies. Texture: 'Grain' (Stock Mac. Fireworks texture) Things to note: - The arrow through the charaters head is a tribute to Aquasixio and his amazing art. Nothing amazing there really! Enjoy! Alanna ---- UPDATE: This artwork was awarded a "Mini DD" by the wonderful =SlyDante on the 31/3/08. (see here: [link]) "Ignorance is Bliss... by ~start-static is definitely a unique way to signify a fresh new start, but it's also (unsurprisingly) a great little drawing in general. Well-styled, perfectly colored, nicely detailed, & even a bit thought-provoking, this is one sweet Deviation with a lot of creativity & work poured into it...& the end result is worth taking a look at." Thanks again, =SlyDante! |

I've always wondered, is ignorance really bliss? I see my friends who dont realise whats going on in the world and they seem quite happy. I guess I'd rather know whats going on though.
Anyway...
Great use of colours and I really like the way you have laid this out.
Well I guess at least hes happy!
Definitely a favourite!!
Keep up the amazing work.
I'm glad we think similarly, I often feel the same. there are days when i would kill for blissful ignorance, but my curiosity prevents me from being just that.
I'll try and keep the good stuff coming!
I love the faded colours and the style is really cool.

this is cool...
Plus, I was always fond of this deviation to begin with, so a revamped version for my re-vamped outlook on things did seem fitting.
Glad to see you've followed me over to the bright side!
Much love and cookies,
Al
Good job ^_^

God made me a cannibal to fix problems like you. :]
Long time no see by the way?
Everything getting better for you as well i hope??
And like you, I agree that the most inpsiring artists are always those who can find amazement in the mediocre, beauty in the unattractive, and intrigue in the blandest of things on the earth and beyond.
It is one thing to immitate that which is already stunning, but to create or highlight the beauty in something most people overlook is what a true artist does...
I only hope one day I'll be able to view the world as an artist and appreciate it for all it's flaws.
Thankyou for the comment, you've got me thinking....
