Artist's Comments

A quick sketch using my "other" hand... the left. A sort of chimera beast dragon thingie. A bit of the project disability for ya. ;)

Some random office pen on manila paper.

Off to scraps in a bit. Just thought it might be fun to post another left-handed sketch.

I think some of the people here have said most of what I planned on typing, but I'll try not and repeat them.

This blew me away the first time I saw it, as a thumbnail in my dev-watch folder. There's a sort of controlled chaos to your artwork, and a tightly caged movement to it, as well. This is apparent in most of your inkwork, but I don't think I've seen it so well exhibited as it is in this piece.

Moreover, the level of detail, and the emotion on the chimera's face, is simply extraordinary. He strikes me as a tragic monster, freshly realized from a dream -which, considering you used your left hand for this, I can see why he looks that way.

Once again, great work, 1pen. You continue to set the bar for all the traditional artists on here.

I'll have to echo ~kell909, you're constantly inspiring me. Through your art, attitude, experiences... a younger person like me can learn by following you. And I thank you for that. :)

And on the picture, I find that it looks like some other drawings from you in thumbnail form; it's only when you look at the full view do you realize that there's a level of neatness missing from it. When you read that it's done with your "other" hand, complications and all, well... that's just amazing. Neatness be damned, it's still a 1Pen picture that's utterly astounding with its detail. Even though it's your "dominant" hand by birth, with the amount of pain you must endure just to keep it working, it's amazing that you can pull something of this scale off. Great job, as always. :)

You constantly amaze me also, and inspire me, with your art and your attitude towards life.

I'm like "Katmomma" - I cant hardly write my name with my left hand, let alone a piece of art like this with so much detail and expression. It's wonderful! :-)

:hug: Thanks for your constant kindness.
