As you all know my faith in mankind is all but inexistant but still I had no idea people could be capable of this.

Now I am 16 hours into "The Madness Of Dreaming In Rose" which will be made up of 9 paintings (all finished) and a frame I shall be building that is part of the piece. This is the most complete work I have done to date and it has helped me expand further into other techniques and ideas including painting, frame-building and poetry.

Here's a taster of the poetry side which will be incorporated into the frame.

"She incarnates my madness, Is this all just a dream?
She presents so many faces, But has only one name.
Eight roses so punishing, I am bound to her will.
Her beauty so enslaving, She has become my hell..."

---

Still in the lineup are:

"JFC - I Am The End Of The World"
"Horrors Of Self"
"Mutter"
"(Why Did You Not Simply) ABORT (Me, Please)"
"Hey You (Out There On Your Own, Sitting Naked By The Phone"
"The Sacrifice (Of Peace And Purity For Freedom)"
"Baptized In The Redemption"
"Desecration"

"The First Lady Of Song" is now available here [link] it was finished two weeks ago but I wanted my sister (for whom I did it) to see it in RL before she saw it online.
"JFC - I Am The End Of The World", "Horrors Of Self" and "Mutter" ("Mother" in german) are still around and waiting in the winds.

"Drowning In Blackened Extasy" has been renamed to "Drowning In The Blackened Lake Of Eros" and will be done very very shortly.

"A Tale Of Beauty Told From The Mouths Of Wolves" has been cancelled due to a falling out with the girl it featured and systematic removal of everything related to her in my life.

New additions to the lineup are:

"The Madness Of Dreaming In Rose"
"(Why Did You Not Simply) ABORT (Me, Please)"
"Hey You (Out There On Your Own, Sitting Naked By The Phone"
"The Sacrifice (Of Peace And Purity For Freedom)"
"Baptized In The Redemption"

The next piece in line after "Drowning In The Blackened Lake Of Eros" will be "The Madness Of Dreaming In Rose"

Enjoy

I plan on putting up the originals for sale after I'm done so if you wanna buy 'em please let me know. The money will all go to financing more artistic pursuits of mine, especially the guitar artwork I wanna do.

I love guitars and I love art, they're like my two favourite things. Sadly guitars cost money and I don't have that much of it really. The plan is to buy a Dean ML XM [link] and take it apart and sand off the varnish and do a tribute to Dime [link] with it.

I know Dean guitars have done a thousand and a half Dime tribute guitars but I wanna do my own. One that is not from anyone else, one that is my own concept and handiwork. The man is a legend and I just wanna say "thank you" in my own way.

Almost inevitably it will end up being purely black and white koz thats how I do things, that's my style. Razorblades, Rebel flags, Lightning bolts and of course the man himself.

So yeah, that and I wanna do a collage pic of myself using pictures of all my friends in black and white with the words from the chorus of "A Tout Le Monde" from Megadeth

"A tout le monde (to everyone)
A tout mes amis (to all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I have to leave)"

It's all fitting in a similar theme about those who died and never got to say goodbye. Project codename: "The Dearly Departed".

the general concensus seems to be that people prefer my first reaper picture [link] over my second one [link] ... Why??? the first one sucks... its like some crappy kiddies cartoon version of the one who is supposed to be the one who ends your fucking life... i mean come on... that shouldnt even worthy of the name Reaper... the second one however is a true, realistic and proper depiction of what the Reaper is...

this isnt the first time people have preferred my shit artwork over my good stuff and quite honestly it is very fucking annoying... whatever... blah... shutting up

the precious seconds ticking away

part of you wonders what you ever did in your life and wishes for another second, another minute, just one more chance to prove youre worth something

the other side however is still and calm, he knows you were always first class but the leader of the rats, the ones who tried to eat you alive, always second best, tried to infect you with their disease... but you overcame, you killed the beast, you destroyed everything, you were the greatest man to ever live

i am the greatest of all losers, i am the first of the last, i am the one you tried to kill, but guess what... im already dead, so in your attempt to kill me you made me immortal, i cannot die, i will be the voice inside your head forever, reminding you of how much more than you i ever was... i am everything you'll never be... i am your entire life story... difference is... i won... and you lost.

you could die any second and you will then know that while i may not have been the one who choked you while you slept, while i may not have stabbed you in the back that night in the bathroom... i am your death, your attempts to kill me lead me to return the favour... so as you lie there, drowning in your own self-worship, submerged in the boiling flesh that is your illusion... remember me... i am your death

i am your true destiny

sure im not perfect but at least im honest about it.

whatever... i shouldnt be ranting here... ranting is for blogs and diaries not an art website... but dammit why is it i find it so hard to meet/find a girl that i like on this continent and yet im always falling for american girls... little life history here: i havent had a girlfriend in this country since my first girlfriend in October/November 2005. now that sucks no matter how many times you slice it.

why did it have to be like this? why oh why Natasha did you have to be in Iowa and not here with me?

Plus for death/cemetary/undead-related stuff my body is perfect for stock koz I'm skinny and boney has hell.

Here's a little sneak preview of it with the stock photos only. No actually painting of mine. [link]

The finished product will have the guy (me) and the hands (all my hands) painted over.

Thus far it has taken around three hours and twenty minutes.

Also in between pieces I continue a all-colour painting of Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine that I've been working on for the past few months.

Not much else to say. I hope you are all well.

For the most part I am very unhappy with the fire and not amazingly happy with the heart itself either. Both will be reworked and I will not be posting anything extensive, maybe some little photography here and there, til it is done.

Probably take some time from working and do some studies, sketching and practicing drawing fire. I'm gonna need it if I wanna continue and if I wanna finish this piece. Also I have an idea for an In Flames piece and just by the name of the band you know I'm going to need to be able to draw fire.

So yeah. Might be a little art drought from me for a while. I may post my tests and sketches up here.

I hope all of you who read this are doing ok and that your families are well and that you enjoy the work I post.

I LOVE doing these things. I don't know if it's because of my obsession with skin and flesh or because it just feels good to be doing the stuff I enjoy again. Either way these were a blast.

They're not all my work though and credit has been given where due. I did the photography for all however.

The "Face Tribal" series, the "Mushroomhead Makeup" series and the "Holy Knuckles" series are my work. The "Back and Arm" series was done by a good friend and classmate of mine Carolina.

They were done for one of my art classes in which we are studying tattoos and body art.

I'm hoping to find a girl with the body it would take and of course the patience to let me draw something like this [link] all the way down from her shoulderblades to down the outside of her thighs and let me photograph her.

Wishful thinking but, if I could do it, it would almost garantee me high grades in that class.

My art progress can be broken down into 3 stages (thus far)

Stage 1: Pencils and graph paper. Still very unpolished and honestly not that good.

Stage 2: Adding ink to the pencils and progressing more in the realm of emotionally packed pictures.

Stage 3: Gone digital.

I'll update stage 2 as soon as I can. Stage 1 ends at the Fist Concepts ]]> ~covenantfighter
