Finally, I know! It's been forever since I'd submitted anything at all. Just to let others know; Yes, I am alive. I have like 5 or 6 new works of art that I'd love to share but I'm without a scanner. T_T

Lately my biggest project would have to be the "Da vinci" series I started. Basically, if you haven't heard of it, it's a method he used to recreate photos realistically by drawing a big grid on them and then drawing each square one by one, lightening the load of the whole drawing while making it more realistic.

So far I've managed to finish only one photo like this -a portrait of Future Hiro Nakamura from that show on Sci-Fi "Heroes". I plan on doing at least 3 more in this fashion at the moment: head shots of Amanda (from Dresden Dolls), Mike Shinoda, and Clea Duvall.

Keep an eye out cause the second I get my scanner working I will be cleaning them up and posting them asap.

Oh, and I've decided to take my old site from Freewebs and close it. I'm gonna try to go from scratch this time and make a real website, complete with my personal header and a domain name. It's gonna take a long while so keep an eye out.

Well, My name is Mike Crian....

...and I'm an old deviant. I kinda got sick of my old account, and started to hate my old name, so I made myself a personal website, got myself a new account, and still haven't gotten out of this drawing funk/rut/block. Though, recently I've done a few unfinished sketches and as soon as I pick a day I can dedicate it to, I'll try and post some new things. As for the small collection of art in my gallery, it is from my old account and it's only a handful of good ones, the rest were crap and more crap.

EDIT:: I've been reading/loving this horror series by Brian Lumley called Necroscope. It's all about this guy named Harry Keogh and his ability to talk to the dead. Theres Necromancers who can rip answers from dead-people's corpses, ESP-agents, ESPionage branches, vampires, ... god, I'd suggest this series to anyone with a good commitment bond to books. I'm currently reading book 5 of 13; "Deadspawn". Lately I've been thinking about doing a 5-piece art series about 5 of my favorite characters; Harry Keogh, Harry Jr, The Lady Karen, Boris Dragosani, and Mobius. This will take me a pretty long while to do, seeing as how at present time, if I look at a drawing for more then an hour, I hate it. So, I'll keep you all posted, just make sure if your watching me, you have your setting set to watch this journal too!
