I just sketched this up at my local coffee shop, I thought ATSers might enjoy it- love it? hate it?



It is called, the philosopher... or the seeeker... working on the name lol but the image itself explains the content

I love the liquidness of the reflection in the eyes. Very positive strokes of the pencil/charcoal, not a lot of fussing around and re-doing things, very skilful.

... and the eyes don't seem menacing or opressive in any way.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

I really love your art!

I really really do. It's beautiful! It's the kind of stuff I hang in my house because it's original and one of a kind!

S&F!

Do you have a portfolio?

Your a true artist my friend...

Very nice, may I turn you on to my friend Michael Golden. Google him and look for the art work.
I use to do a lot of drawing and different medias but had to get full time job. Michael kept drawing and worked different jobs but finally became a full time artist.

I like very much.

I particularly like the way the seeker appears to be very comfortable in his little tunnel and though he may have forward vision and can see the light beyond the tunnel he does not appear too anxious to leave his cozy den.

Sounds familiar doesn't it?

Very great work. Do you meditate when you see these works or do they just appear as "second sight?"

Very interesting and very accurate symbolism.

Sorry, perhaps I should have sent a U2U with the photo links. My apologies, the artwork is very nice. Is there any backstory to go along with them?

You're a wonderful artist.

That first one is crazy! Good job! Setting it as my desktop background.

Here are some names that came to mind:

"The Seventh Eye" or "The Seven"
"The Watcher(s)"
"Nibbana" or "Nirvana" (Liberation)
...
That's all I got right now.

S&F

More great work! I love looking at eyes. So much can be seen. As they say, "the eyes are the window to the soul".

You are a wonderful artist. Thank you for sharing.

That's great. It's beautiful, S&F.

I saved these to my personal art collection on my computer. I find all kinds of amazing art and photos online, not least of which posted on forums like this!

Wow! I can tell you're really talented. Great job! You know we have a Member's Art forum? You might want to post your work there, too. I love the first one. I likeThe Seeker for the title.

It's great, but I don't get the legs and lower body positioning.. seems contorted to me. The eyes are awesome, and the tunnel opening to a new world, LOVE IT!

Thanks, though most of the work on my deviant page is old, I really started doing the art thing this month, I quit my job on the 4th and I have about 5 months to make a living out of my art or I have to find a job LOL so wish me luck ATS!

deviant page

all my recent drawings are on my ATS media page I dont know how to link you there though you can check out the thread posted at the bottom of the first post to see some more work.

Wow his stuff is amazing, and CLEAN, I wish I was more patient, his line work is phenomenal, I tend to be a bit messy and since I usually dont expand on sketches- they never make it to be clean and crisp. I would like to make a career out of my work, but more selling pieces rather than doing comics or working as a storyboard artist, I guess time will tell

reply to post by el1jah


Yeah he's good, but he's paid his dues. His is a great story if you ever get the time to hear it. He also does a lot of graphic work. The only reason I wanted to turn you on to him was for inspiration.
Love your work, keep the faith and make your way to a new day.

I liked it. It reminded me of a kind of soft cubism, if there is such a thing. Looks like half a leg is even missing below the knee, and I love the way the back arches up like rocky mountains, in a tearing heart kind of shape.

Damn double post.

Thank you, you inspired me again. I taught art for 32 years, fought to keep it alive and burned out, plummeting into construction and never picked up a brush or pencil again, the battle left me empty.

In my spiritual growth lately, I need a further outlet and your drawings hit home, thus the thanks, I am going to pick up supplies and carry on like I used to. I used to always be drawing in every meeting, every restaurant, every where. I go back to my home town and the city hall has my works up yet, but I ceased caring. thanks. The school systems and public bleed a person dry, but then those folks here already know this I suppose and if not they should for they will experience the impersonal lack of compassion that is our world.
