SKA's drawings

[SKA]

Hello hello, how stupid of mine only to notice this board now. I'll post some of my drawings here which are DreamRelated or DreamInspired for the most part. Off course feel free to check out the Rest of my work too : Clicky Here for my DeviantArt DreamRelated N' Stuff: 1 2 3

Impressive!!

[SKA]

Impressive!! [/b] Thanx Yeah actually I wanted to post the Images in this topic. but since when I uploaded them to DeviantArt they were HUUUUGE I thought that'd seriously mess up this page I'll try uploading my drawings here one day. Where can find the Size regulations on what size images may have when posted here?

[Oneironaut Zero]

Holy Sh*t, man. GREAT WORK!!! "Global Politics" on your DA gallery is fuckin OutStanding! Can't wait to see more of your stuff.

[SKA]

hey thanx a bunch I've now emersed myself completely in working on art. I bought 10Kilos of riverclay, clay tools, Fineliners and pastels. The next time I remember a Scene from my Dreams very clearly and detailed I'll draw it with black fineliners and color it with pastel. It's the ''hazy'' type of coloring that seems to be somehwta like colors in dreams.

[PenguinLord13]

I am impressed. I wish I could draw. The only thing was that the picture size was overwhelming, and the small version is a bit small to really appreciate. I am not sure exactly what the resolution restrictions are on DV, but as long as you use something in the 800x600ish area, it should be fine. Just don't post like 2000x1500 pictures, as those fill up too much space, and get really annoying if you put them in the forum, as you can't find the text it is so huge. Or use imageshack (imageshack.us).

[SKA]

yeah I know. DeviantArt does that. It isn't as huge as it is shown there. However I like the option of viewing it so huge so you can see details that would otherwise be near invisible. Maybe I'll upload my drawings to Photobucket and see if they have a reasonable size so I can post them here as images.

[Rokuni]

Oh wow, those are awesome&#33; I love how there are so many little details interconnected with eachother--I&#39;ve always been super jealous of people who have that sort of creativity. I have to agree about the size, though. I like looking at closeups to see all the details, but at the same time, it&#39;s hard to take in the whole picture when it&#39;s so big. But still, very cool <3

Psychadelic indeed! You have an amazing talent.

Psychadelic indeed! You have an amazing talent. [/b] I agree, FANTASTIC WORK hun, keep it up!

Good stuff Ska! It's amazing how with all the available drawing tools out there, that a simple ball point pen can be so comfortable to use and give such great results. I had this really boring job back when I was in high school and I would sit and doodle all day on these pieces of colored paper (scrap that we would cut up out of old flyers and shit like that). Anyway, after a while I had this HUGE collection of doodles all scribbled down in blue ballpoint pen - I liked them so much that I kept a good majority of them. Now, out in the real working world, I've graduated to making these sketches in a notepad.... while sittin through lame-ass meetings

I should work more on learning 3d, then I can do some kind of art at least.

[SKA]

Here's a new one I have not yet Finished. I did it in 2 phases so far. First I drew this with Fineliner pen: Clicky here And then I Partially Colored it with Pastels: Click I think I'm going to take one more time and finish it. It'll be on my Deviant Art then.

[phoenelai]

I've graduated to making these sketches in a notepad.... while sittin through lame-ass meetings [/b] HAHAH so true. I would always have some new cartoon on my pad after the meetings were over!

[Rory]

Wow.. you're the best drawer I've ever seen! My favourite is Welcome to my World, or Persian Palace's Courtyard.

[SKA]

gee, thanx a bunch I sure hope Art College feels the same way: I wish to go there in 2007. So I'll be drawing like there's no tomorrow to have something to show them when it's time.

I'm loving "Global Politics" that would make a cool tattoo (so what happened? mom spilled coffee on it or what? )

Wow...*raises her hand* ...you've just got yourself a HUGE fan. I'm amazed at your work. I gotta ask...what's with all the arab/persian/jewish influences and such? I find them absolutely amazing and enthralling but I wonder if you have any connection to it like I do.

[♥Mark]

That is awesome beyond awesome. There's no way I could do something that intricate with a pen. I'd end up making a mistake and crumpling it up and throwing it away. Keep up the awesome.

[/b] Yeah I have Lots of Jewish family in Israël, been there many times and Visited Jerusalem once: it just BLEW me away. Those ancient city walls and churches standing there for well over 5000 years. It always stayed with me. My grandparents from my Father's side, before they moved to Israël, were Sephardic Jews who lived in Morocco so I have always had a love for Middle Eastern Culture, art and people. Playing way too much Prince of persia and listening to Chassidic Jewish music, Klezmer,(Music my Musician Dad plays alot at Celebrations & Weddings etc...) Arabic Folk, persian Folk I always stayed in those vibes. It bleeds my Heart to see the Devision and hatred between all these closely related brother-cultures and thus I always unite them in drawings of mine. My fantasy is the only place where they are peacefull and flurish in unison. East is where the Magic comes from PS: @ Ophelia: My mom placed a greasy oven-tray on it -_- But izzokay. It's not like it's completely ruined.

My fantasy is the only place where they are peacefull and flurish in unison. [/b] That is seriously awesome. It really is beautiful over there. I've been to Nazareth, Jerusalem, Haifa...My dad was born in Nazareth (I'm Palestinian and Lebanese) and have to see and hear about all the turmoil over there from my family and the news, so yeah...I can really relate to wanting to see the cultures united in peace. It's really effing stupid...you know, they discovered that the Palestinians and the Jews from that region (not the European Jews that moved to Israel but the original ones) are from the same goddamn descent lol. They're the same!

They're the same! [/b] Yeah I couldn't agree with you more! It's brothers and Sisters that forgot they have the same ancestors. Devided by Culture and Religion. The European Ashkenazi Jews were originally from the place in the Middle East. As were all Jews. Too bad the European Jews took too much nasty Western habbits with them back to Israël. They have forgotten who they are. They even took nasty Racism back with them from Europe to Israël, Discriminating Mizrahi (Arab) Jews and Sephardic (Spanish) Jews and thinking they are white, European and thus feeling more Worthy. Rediculous ainit? I remember before THEIR arrival in Israël the Jews and Arabs lived in peace, both being brother cultures and eastern peoples. Bah Europe is one foul continent. I was born here and grew up here, but it smells of Racism and barbaric Xenophelia-based hatred against Middle-Eastern peoples. No warm heartedness to be found here. I would love to see the Eastern ones unite again. If I'm not Mistaken it is yet again Western Influences that devide us. bah PS: If you know the truth about the Situation there from your Family, as I know the truth about the situation there via my Israëli family, you will probably agree on what a rediculous and false Media Circus the Western Media makes out of it. And how misunderstood it all is round here: as if it's ''The Jews vs The Arabs'' The Western Media and politics are so ignorant and full of self-interrest only using this Conflict to their Economical and political ends. It only serves to Fuel the fire of the burning conflict. It's not pretty. Hmmm this has just inspired me to make another piece of work depicting the Western Media and Western Disturbance for what it truely is. I'll be picking up the pen again soon.

awesome! It is great to see a style. There are so many people who can draw (or copy on paper what they see in real life) But that is not like having your own style.' When you can look at a painting or drawing and know who did it. Who knows how many small subtleties that complete a work that makes it "yours"-- I would guess many more than we think. How did you come to get your style SKA?

How did you come to get your style SKA? [/b] hey hey thanx . Well yeah, Fantasy and Style isn't just creating something new from scratch. I saw some Medieval Scenes and cultures: it inspired me and I took it up into my style. I saw Orientalism Art and fell in love with it: and blended it into my style. Was very Impressed by Surreal art such as Salvador Dalí and incorporated some of it into my own style. Same for Psychedelic art. I also mixed some Realism and some Cartoonish styles and in time a Style of my own was developed. This is how I came to drawing the way I do. However the themes and WHAT I draw comes straight from the Heart. It's a Feeling. So profoundly good I just HAVE to express it. It's really hard to explain but this is what keeps me smiling even when the world around me is breaking down: No one could ever take it away from me. Musiic, Strong Emotions and Such Inspiring events usually strengthen this Feeling in me. It is Holy to me. More than Holy. And impossible to explain in words. So that is really the only thing that's Original and Typically ''Me'' about it.
