Leave Well Enough Alone

My scanner absolutely does NOT like colored pencils. I even colored him crappy on purpose so it wouldn't be so complicated for the scanner to pick up all of the details >:/
Meh, oh wellz...not too happy with this anywho. I haven't picked up a pencil and drawn something in almost.....2 months. Ew. I did this as a warm up drawing so I can get some other stuff that needs to get done, done...and done semi well.

{-click read more for full summary-}

I redid some of Atiq's design, and screwed it up XD and his facial structure is more like a dog's than a deer's and bleh, I don't care, just wanted to do something all spazzy and stupid.

Guess you could say that this is some steam I'm letting off, for some reason I woke up stressed and a little mad today, guess it was just a "woke up on the wrong side of the bed day". I do have same angsty-art to upload here in the coming months, only so I can get it out of my system and move on, so allow me this indulgence.

This piccy right here, well...I noticed that I have no tact. At all. I never know when to shut my mouth. I like the idea of it's better to tell a lie that will cause some smiles than a truth that will cause tears in most cases, yet my mouth likes to rebel against the common sense in my head and goes right on ahead with spewing the wrong thing.

I also noticed that I transferred this trait to Atiq and a few other retired deer/characters of mine. Aren't you happy I gave you that gift Atiq? Fun ain't it?

Oh yes, great fun >.>

Random words spattered about are lyrics to a song called Well Enough Alone by Chevelle along with random spatterings of whatever else I could think of. I just wanted to fool around with manipulating text into a piece, I've never gotten to do it before so I wanted to try.

No music player for you. You have working fingers, go look it up on youtube. But here are some of the lyric excerpts I used:

Never coming always leaving,

Why do we leave, well enough alone?
Never thought about the shame.

So fed up, what's with the scenes?
Observe and leave instead.
This pity wagon penetrates my skin
So sensitive, makes me sick.

The old and the aged
Pulled, never knew what hit.


You should really look up the full song or at least the band sometime, they've got some good songs. This one is actually sort of relaxing towards the end.

Ironically, I was listening

Ironically, I was listening to a Chevelle song earlier before I went out, and randomly got lyrics from it in my head for awhile. It wasn't this song, but that's still kinda funny. XD;

simply amazing...

simply amazing... really.

*can't think of better and more creative words because she is hungry like hell*

@Alice - Thank you so much <3 that's okay, I take whatever I get and accept it happily x3

Isn't it odd how warm-up

Isn't it odd how warm-up pictures can sometimes be the best? I think because you're not worrying while drawing.. -goes on for a good 15 more minutes-


Anyways xD
Gosh, I love this! The trailing words, the crazy lines juxtaposed with the blocks of black. I can't wait to see more of your work :3
