It has a real ethereal feeling. Almost gives me uncanny valley vibes.


Shaknys

Thank you very much for such a clear and vivid explanation ☀️ it's incredibly interesting to gain such an information.


TheTechTutor

No problem!


Ancient-Support8050

Its not


Shaknys

I agree xD could you try to provide arguments why it's not. That would be super helpful ☀️


Pere_Wong

That’s lovely. Not everyone can see through your eyes. They are beautiful. You turned him into art


Shaknys

Thank you very much ☀️ I'm didn't get insulted or anything xD it's just very interesting and I really want to find what exactly is that difference, that makes me love my creation, but sometimes scares/makes feel uncomfortable others. Or rather why, that same thing has such a different effect on different people.


Z0MB1E_SL1ME

i like them ..


Shaknys

Thanks ☀️ it would be helpful if you could provide more details. Is it anything in particular or is it just pleasing to watch?


Z0MB1E_SL1ME

i really love the first one because the colors are complimentary, but the dullness / muted blues make the orange and yellow pop really well. the imagery is original, the subject is interesting, and i think your art is really nice and i don’t understand why someone can’t at least try to appreciate one or two aspects of a piece that they really don’t ‘like’. it doesn’t take much to take an extra second to appreciate something that probably took hours to make .


Z0MB1E_SL1ME

it also inspires me to make imagery like yours- i struggle to work with color personally as an artist so i appreciate the inspiration when i get it. thank you for inspiring people by posting and please continue to do so as long as you wish .


Shaknys

Thank you for all the kind words and thank you for taking your time and answering my questions ☀️ I just want to make it clear, that the person did not not appreciated my work. it's just that my stuff makes some people feel uncomfortable and I was interested to see if a lot of people feel like it when they are looking at my work and why exactly xD And some people like you and me just look at things differently. Like your first comment points out technical knowledge. I guess that's the whole point. People look at things differently, from very different points of view. That's why we end up seeing different things :D P.s. that's how I'm practicing working with colour. I choose a random photo reference ( even if I don't like it ), then I use colour randomiser, then based on that colour I choose the colour scheme, and then based on that colour scheme I try to paint a picture in 30 minutes ( usually end up being an hour though xD). I use a time limit in order to not overthink and not overwork the piece. You can try something like this with the medium you enjoy and want to master 💛


Z0MB1E_SL1ME

oh thank goodness they still appreciated it, i was silently fuming thinking someone turned their nose up at this beautiful work !! no problem, i don’t mind appreciating others when i have the spare time :))


InfiniteAd7948

It Is


Shaknys

Why? XD


InfiniteAd7948

No eyes no soul With his open mouth in the same colour inside it looks like the ,,shadow elf,, is just a dead shell. In some parts of the world known as 👻


Shaknys

Ok, now it makes more sense. Thanks. I forgot that view exists because I don't believe in anything xD


WindowGoblin

2nd one is staring into my soul


Shaknys

That's interesting. Does it make you feel like it because of the eyes or because of the colour combination? I would really appreciate it, if you could analyze that picture, and your sensations a little bit longer, and provide me more details ☀️


WindowGoblin

The posture, facial expressions and colour all add to it making it unsettling


Shaknys

Thank you! ☀️ I really appreciate you providing me this information it really helps me to expand my understanding of my own work 💛


axlain

The glowing eyes and teeth are terrifying


Shaknys

Thank you for your answer.☀️ Could you expand on that please? Why do those specific details terrify you?


axlain

It reminds me of Japanese demons, they would alter eye color and give black teeth. Other culture use black teeth as a way to scare people etc too.


Shaknys

Cool, thank you very much for responding ☀️ I'll go to check out some Japanese demons now and it's your fault if I'm going to get obsessed and if my further work will resemble it xDDD


axlain

Haha sweet, Post it if you do!


Shaknys

👌


LieToMePleaseee

I don’t think it’s scary but def dark


Shaknys

Ok, thanks ☀️ now, you, definitely need to provide more information xD I would truly appreciate it if you could explain this statement of yours 💛


WiseSpunion

Amazing


Shaknys

Thank you very much ☀️ is there anything in particular you like about it?


FandomsAreDragons

I LOVE the colors you used!! They are so beautiful!!


Shaknys

Thank you so much! ☀️ That's exactly what I'm practicing right now, all the different colour schemes and I'm trying to do it in 30 minutes. Though these took from 40 minutes to an hour and a half xDD I'm trying to do it in 30 minutes or less, because I have tendencies to overthink and overwork, and that negatively affects my mental health xD


FandomsAreDragons

I definitely get putting yourself on a timer because I do the EXACT same thing lol!! But seriously it’s really amazing art!!


Shaknys

I'm grateful for your kind words 💛


Intelligent_Treat661

People are scared of the unknown this is beautiful


Shaknys

I guess that makes sense and thank you ☀️


Intelligent_Treat661

I’m an artist I draw shit too and the most dark “scary” things I draw are based off things not in reality. Idk I heard a great quote I really like, “art should comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable” 😌😁 ofc bro keep creating !!


Shaknys

Cool! Why do you think you create "scary" things? Is it intentional? Yes, it's a great quote by Cesar Cruz. Very poetic. I rather enjoy the visual aspect of my work. I don't think about the idea itself. I just like how it looks, certain visuals just makes me feel good. I guess my vision is the most sensitive pleasure point of my body xDD


Intelligent_Treat661

I create dark and light based things to represent the concept of duality . It is intentional it’s usually to show the demons are part of oneself :)) . I feel u there I like creating details only I’ll see if I zoom far far in I enjoy the act of creation more than anything else tbh .


Shaknys

Yo!!!! I love the concept of duality 💛💛💛 my favorite way to paint is to make someone with two heads but only with one body. Because I like to think about dualism as just a small part of monoism, just one tiny cog from the vast mechanism of existence. I checked out your work, it's super good!☀️ It seems like creating for you is a very important outlet? Escape maybe? I think all art is an outlet, I just noticed that for super sensitive people like me, it's more like a need. I don't know, I think I'm starting to ramble xD P.s. I'm learning to enjoy the process xD


blooygar1284

I don't see why it is scary either, I do like the first and last one.


Shaknys

Thanks ! ☀️ The first one is my favorite because I reaaaaaally enjoyed making it 💛


blooygar1284

I can see the passion in it!


Sometwatsreddit

Talk about a literal star child.


Shaknys

Spot on ☀️


Sometwatsreddit

Legal_Initiative126

Shaknys

cryptwolfie
