Description

This is my Christmas present to my Papa; Juan. He came to visit us on the 22nd, and left on the 24th. Throughout most of my life, we've always been distant (parents are divorced), and hasn't really been the best of fathers. But lately he's been calling my sister and I every evening for the past two weeks, and then came up to visit (he fought like a rabid dog to get Christmas off of work, but his boss messed up the schedule. that's what he told us). He says he wants to have more of a relationship between us. Hell, I'm up for it. No matter how many times he's disappointed me and my sister, I don't think it's ever too late to try again. My hope is that we'll be able to piece together a healthy father-daughter relationship. Yet at the same time, he's said these things before, so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. :(
anyways, the only thing he asked for Christmas was a picture drawn by me. I knew I wanted it to be about poker, cause that's his favourite game and he's really good at it, but it literally took me until the night before he came to visit to come up with an image. I worked literally all night to get it done in time for the morning of the 24th, but I did it.
sadly, you can see where I used white-out. :( hope it doesn't spoil the picture.
He loved it, by the way. :p
Merry Christmas.

Here I am again~

I think the concept here was pretty darn amazing. like the last guy said, it shows the evils of gambling and smoking. the fact that the "human" figures are completely black even more underlines this feature, because of the contrast between them and their surroundings.
Sometimes a background is necessary to make a picture look stunning, but not with this style. because of all of the details you put in it, I think it looks amazing anyways, and if you had put in a background it would have had to have few details.
also, the position you put the monster in is beautiful in a way that lures your eyes to the middle of the picture, which is a technique much sought for among artists.
as for the whiteout showing up and some of the areas showing up lighter or darker when they're supposed to be white, that'll be fixed up when you start using your tablet. I usually do a sketch and then the rest on the computer, but originals are always nice.

altogether, this is a very stunning piece. great job!
