f*cking snakes 2010-10-11 / 14:33

so here you see the next step on my hermes girl. looks quite diffrent than the first step ...but i thought "heeey hermes this lil guy had a stick with snakes on it" so i HAD to put snakes in this picture and thought "uuuh thats easy..a snake is just a head with some tube-thing behind it" ....but fool lil sandra ...oh naive lil me! oh it was a lot of work on the snakes, with all the rules for the back and for their belly and i have a nightmare when i even think of the pattern i have to put on it... - but i thank god, allah, buddah and all the other gods who comes in your mind that i have my boy alex. he helped me so much with those snakes eventhough he also struggles with them a lil... and some stuff still have to be corrected on the snakes..BUT the main composition is there i think...

here you can see how much paper i needed to figured those snakes out (and there are more in the other room -.-) cause alex wanted me to show more but me with my bullethead wanted to figure the "logical in the snakes body (alex said that)" out like he explained me BUT i wanted to draw it all by myself ..so i think i needed much longer than i would have to if i just let alex stroke some lines..but i need to learn this stuff so i had to do this on my own YESSSSHHH^^

this one was the composition-sketch which alex drew and he asked me if i wanted it to do it this way - and i said noooooooway...
and now you can see the results hahaha^^

so i hope i get to do the lines tomorrow...

thx for reading eventhough i used the F-word in the headline..

goooood night :D

mmmm! i like! yeah, i as well had to learn that snakes are far from easy to draw, i think in fact they are one of the worst things you can choose to do.

Few is the number who think with their own minds and feel with their own hearts.

about me...

Oh, HI! Hello sweethearts! here i tell you a lil bit about myself. Something "private" to give you a lil bit of sugar.

1988 i was born in munich - you know that city in germany with the oktoberfest and beer and fat germans who only eat "prezels" and sausages. i am vegetarian btw. my mother is african and my dad german. we moved around a lot when i was a kid - but i never mind evengthough i think thats that the reason why i cant get really personal with ppl.

i was a wild teenager - with alcohol, too much partying and too much kissing around - and never had a real boyfriend cause i loved my freedom! and then i met alex who is my boyfriend now... we meet at an art-fest in munich and somehow we stuck together and i really do love him!

i was always intrested in art. my grandparents were both architects and artists. i remember my first painting i gave my grandpa for present was a skeleton of a squirrel. i think i knew that i would be a lil bit metal by heart then haha!

i got my first tattoo when i was 12 or 14...cant remember but i do remember that my mom just asked me if i want one cause my sister was getting one and sure i said yes - cause i always wanted exactly the same what my big sister tatiana got!

so thats it - here you see my WIP work and love. i hope you enjoy it. -That's me
