Artist's Comments

“The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.”

"there's no chance for us.
Its all decided for us.
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?"

======================================
This here is exactly why I want people uploading files with the title- "Ariokh's Muse" here on DA. When I download your images the images have YOUR name on them. Then I can properly say who I painted. I have hundreds of images in my DA-Muse folder, and I have no idea who most of you are.

This Muse had her image titled 65465sa.jpg or something. No good. So if you know this is you, leave a comment so people can fish through the comments below and find ya!

I started this with no idea what would come of it. I figured I was going to go extra crazy, but I kept pulling it back. I like the level of restraint, and colors. I wanted to add more, but I felt it would have started getting hamfisted. She sort of looks like how I imagined Mina Harker when I first read Dracula as a wee one.

Also, since I didn't know who this was, I named her Pam. After a girl I knew at Art Center who was rather sweet, and a very good painter. She had a similar appearance, but would never have looked so troubled. Hence the title.

Enjoy.... Cuntchips. hehehe. Yeah, I'm still an asshole. Sometimes I have to remind myself.

I really like the expressiveness you put in your work. It's like you've painted this character with the same kind of strokes, colours and texture that'd describe her as a person. At least that's what I'm getting from it and it's amazing!

I'm.... not sure, but I think this might be me. (If you flipped the photo?)

so... I don't wanna go, "OMG IT'S ME!" and get totally overexcited, because it might not be and that would make me an idiot. XD

So uhm. Confirm/deny? :D
I am saving up one helluva victory dance.

OH! And I also wanted to say I think this is a gorgeous painting and I'm becoming more sure it IS me... (I found my post in your journal, with the photos I offered up, and it is here: [link] ) an' if I'm right I shall dance around this office whooping and possibly be fired.

But that's okay, since my last day at this job is Friday anyway! :D :D :D

This is weirdly, intensely flattering, especially since your work is quite, quite incredible. I was a huge fan of yours before this, and now? I'm afraid you might have to deal with hero worship. Embarrassing for both of us!

Oh, and btw, outside of the internet I am known as Liz, usually. :3

You rock so fucking hard.

Paint me sometime? I will give you pictures. :)

Very!

(From what I have seen, it seems to me that to become your muse, a face alone is not enough. You seem to prefer faces with something going on in them - hands, goggles -, and you seem to prefer faces that were beautiful once but have been marked by life, though not too old either, rather (I guess) your own age. Are we looking at yourself in all these "portraits"? I guess you smoke. Wrong?)

I really like the colors in this one and the expression on her face. :3

Plain Great!

I like the expresion and the brush stroke "character" (This is hard to say in english :) ) . Color scheme is great also.
