Artist's Comments

Nobody Owens would have been a normal kid, if he weren't raised in a graveyard.

The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman, is ABSOLUTELY reccomended.
I loved it.
It's so different and so magical and so gorgeous to read, with a very clever/subtle sort of twisted maturity under it's seemingly children's story exterior.


The tall guy with the umbrella is Silas, Nobody's guardian, and I might add that he is the sexiest children's book character ever, I think. Haha.

And Nobody Owens, he is supposed to be a young kid, he grows up to 15 in the story, so I drew him as a 15 year old here. His adoration/attachment for his guardian Silas in the book is adorable. He's always asking if he'll see Silas again, and he gets upset whenever Silas is leaving.

Gah, so much love.

Ola DA !
My major exams are just over, now waiting for the results with bated breath.
And college...*whimper*

I both loathe this and like this.
It's dedicated to Neil Gaiman, but I don't think I did a very good job, actually...I kinda hate the way I draw people and how it seems so disoriented and messy.

I don't know why I just don't feel confident about what I've been drawing lately, anyway, just wanted to share this with you guys.

Thank you :heart:

:heart: thank you, i've missed seeing you around as well, being one of the earliest people I know on DA, it's always a pleasure to come back and see you again :)


and I'm glad you like this one.
I think I'm having a nervous Art breakdown D:
:iconsamisi:
I really do. It's got an amazing feeling to it - as your work so often does.

Nervous Art breakdowns = :(
*hugs* Usually get out of them better and improved, though, don't we. An artist friend of mine once said that artistic crises are phases of development rather than regression. But the doubt is horrible to bear.

The book sounds really good! (did some research after seeing this) I've got to get a hold of one o.o
Plus messy art is good; i'm messy whenever i draw too, xD. i think it's alot more expressive and shows more flow than whenever I try to draw clean xD, and i RLY love the way you color!!
