zakkusu
inspired by the drug experiment "rat park."

this thing drove me completely batshoot the past week or so; namely because of all the pills and machines in this thing. but overall, i am quite happy with the result :D i just wish that i had not colored the background so dark.

Starofwonder123This is telling me one thing--don't do drugs.

zakkusu on February 22, 2008, 6:50:25 AM

zakkusuit's actually more about addiction in general than drugs. drugs aren't the only thing you can be addicted to that is dangerous

zakkusuwhat the frack?

supi222 on November 27, 2007, 7:49:48 AM

supi222 on
supi222wow..
there is such a stron message here!! it's as if humans who are addictedto drugs are as low as rats, even lower

zakkusu on November 27, 2007, 7:53:16 AM

zakkusu on
zakkusuif that's your interpetation, heh

but it's more than just about addiction to drugs. any type of addiction is dangerous... whether it be money, drugs, food, love, religion, dreams... pretty much anything in excess. and nobody who is addicted to something are as low as rats, it can just be a dangerous affliction and sometimes often a coping mechanism for people who have no other outlet

that's morely what the picture is about.

supi222 on November 28, 2007, 9:51:44 AM

supi222 on
supi222any type of addiction? butwhy is it that only the drug addiction is portrayed?
eh.. you're the artist, so you should know best.xD
but i likeit.
what type of markers did you useto color it?
it hastahtcopic markerfeel to it.or was it prismacolor? i forgot

zakkusu on November 28, 2007, 9:55:01 AM

zakkusu on
zakkusuit's not. if you look carefully in the pills, you can see a cross. there is also the words that the silhouettes are speaking, and the money in the corner. the rest is to be implied.

and i used prismacolor and gel pens. i don't like copics

supi222 on December 11, 2007, 10:24:15 AM

supi222 on
supi222oohh!! wow... that's sweet. everythinhg looks so confusin to me.. that's why i guess i overlooked it. xD i guess i should look more before i speak, eh? but the majority of the picture involves drugs... so there must be something more important about that than the cross and money?

ahh.. prismacolors.. and gelpen? what that pen usedto outline the things?? i was wondering which i should buy recently, prismacolors or copic markers. but from what i see, i believe it's prismacolor mrkers.

zakkusu on December 11, 2007, 10:29:08 AM

zakkusu on
zakkusuprisma markers are cheaper (about 2 to 3 dollars a piece), and they can have a dull kind of color yet at the same time be quite vibrant. they also blend a lot more solidly.

copics are a lot brighter and can blend quite well (if you use the brush side). however, the colors tend to look rather strange if you blend them in a similar fashion to prismas. i'm kinda color crazy, so copics don't do it much for me. plus i don't like spending 5 dollars per marker : <

and i used microns to outline the picture :D microns are pretty awesome and usually last a while. i like them a lot more than most multiliners... tho prismacolor pens and copic multiliners are good, too.

hope that helps in your marker quest! haha

supi222 on December 11, 2007, 10:43:42 AM

supi222 on
supi222wow.. i never even heard of a micron. are those expensive? where do i get those? don't think i ever saw them at walmart.

oohh.... that's great!!!
prismacolors are more solid? that's prefect for me!! i seem to havea fetish with geometric and crazy shadings recently so i wanted something like that. i didn't know copis markers blend more easily and are more than twice as expensive....

but still.. that's quite alot for a whole goood set.. darn

zakkusu on December 11, 2007, 10:50:29 AM

zakkusu on
zakkusuyou cannot get microns at walmart, but you can get them at any micheals or basic art store very easily. they are fairly cheap, depending on where you get them, but typically they run about 1.50-2.75 per pen. they come in a variety of colors and sizes, and you can get a set of them (i think about 10 pens? in all different sizes) for about 15 to 20 dollars

copics and prismas really depend on the person. personally i prefer prismas as i said before, but copics are also good for different uses. just depends on what you want to invest your money into

supi222 on December 11, 2007, 11:04:07 AM

supi222 on
supi222ooh.. so these microns... how small of a size can they come in?? i really like fine-lin drawings.

zakkusu on December 11, 2007, 11:05:24 AM

zakkusu on
zakkusuthey can get as small as .005. if you want reeeeeally small, try a copic multiliner. they can get as small as .003, but they run out very easily

supi222 on December 30, 2007, 4:11:11 AM

supi222wow~~!!
