Joshua is afraid that all of his unfinished drawings will one day revolt!
 
 
 

Welcome to my domain, a grove of both radiant light and impenatrable darkness.

It has been some time since I last visited this dark and lonely place. I have let many things get in the way of doing what I enjoy. From the complications that are everyday life, to general laziness and the added effects of the curse of being a perfectionist, I have allowed myself to slip into the void of creative apathy. With all the recent changes in my life I only hope that it brings the time and inspiration to once again pursue that which I have been neglecting.

When I start finishing things I will be updating my gallery. The current works I have are years old, I will either be replacing them or revamping them hopefully in the near future. Feel free to leave comments and tips, I always appreciate constructive criticism.

The pic of the angel is amazing!!! I love the little Frankie guys, too. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Damn you! You have more drawings than this. Stop being lazy and put them up! These are good works, but I know you have ones that straight up kick ass! So get on it!!!!!!! Can't wait for that drow. *runs away giggling*

:-) Joshua J. Strom replies: "Ha! Its not really a matter of being lazy hehe more that I am trying to complete too many things at once. I could upload a bunch of unfinished works but would rather finish them (I would hate for people to judge my ability by things that are only partly finished, although its a little late for that hehe). As for the drow... I hope to finish her this weekend, if things go right."

I actually like the combination of pictures you submitted.
They aren't many, but they are all good and in three different medias: pencil, watercolor and ink (I especially like the ink-guy 12) and this shows you're quite capable.
IMO a good sketch can be as interesting as a finished painting - which surely doesn't mean you shouldn't finish some new pics soon!!!
*puts out Drow-whip* "Now go to your desk and finish that Dark elf!"
...Ahem - just kidding, but I'm eagerly awaiting her. Which media am I to expect?

:-) Joshua J. Strom replies: "If you have an elftown account you can see my drow pic as it is now. I entered it in the evil contest and have it hanging in my house as well. I don't expect it to win since its not finished and its my first time using photoshop. I will be submitting it as a line drawing (with no shading) and as a work in progress so hopefully it will be up here soon."

:-) Joshua J. Strom replies: "Thank you for all your wonderful comments. I'm not sure about my pic, most people say I look sad in it. Ah well I need to get a digital cam so I can replace the wonderful webcam pics."

In the words of someone I don't know. " It is EVIL!" I love it all, The darkness of drawings I always love. Anything that just shows some pain in life just shows me how much people can put that on paper. I can't draw it but I can do it in poems and story's. But I do really love you work. But you look so sad in your picture, are you falling in to the darkness of life like I am? because if you are.....well at least you're not alone.

:-) Joshua J. Strom replies: "I was persecuted all throughout my school art classes for my dark subject matter. Now that the merge has taken place I will be able to update my gallery with some old favorites that didn't quite fit the requirements before. It's comforting to know there are others who enjoy my work and who are also falling deeper into the void..."

I am also afraid all my unfinished drawings will revolt against me! They really get mad when I do not give them legs or hands 10

:-) Joshua J. Strom replies: "Hand and legless revolting drawings wouldn't be that bad to fend off, but I still think the best tactic would be to conspire and act against them together before thier growing population becomes too great for us to handle."

Your Final of the High Priestess is gorgeous I love it !

1 Joshua J. Strom replies: "Really?!? You gotta tell me what it turns out like! Perhaps that will encourage me to get it done."

Come on Josh u have much more drawings than that. I know Ive seen them. Just put them up even if there not finished, who knows some1 might give u a good idea for one.

:-) Joshua J. Strom replies: "Kind of hard to update when I'm gone all the time...I plan on uploading more of my recent works when I return home."

Hey, it’s Brian, I’ve been trying to get a hold of you for quite some time. Send me an email -- taokore@gmail.com -- so I can give you my friggin’ number! I got some big news and I miss hanging out so SEND IT NOW. Or as I like to say EVERY MINUTE, SPIN IT!

39 Joshua J. Strom replies: "I need to take a visit to your new website and all, perhaps it will give me a much needed boost of creative energy, or perhaps we just need to hang out again and drink some viking juice!"
