Trying to make something different and slightly experimental. Have been wanting to make use of words for a while now and seeing as I decided to submit this for the "Art for the Sake of Art" (once got to be the first time) contest I ended up making my own ink from an art tablet my mom brought back from China at some point. Turns out it takes a bit of patience to get nice black ink but it is very beautiful if you do!
This picture partially evolved form me browsing stockart to find something inspiring. I got a little frustrated with all the perfect faces. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I was looking for something odd, strange. I'll have to look again. However this is the resulting thought process and image:
Beauty aiming for perfection but losing personality in the process.
Hope I got the thought across!
Found an interesting piece that you might like if you have interest in this concept: Picture Perfect by Mariedark

Way too much! haha especially with all the time I spent looking at it thinking up ways to resolve my misery on being stuck and not being able ot work on it when I wanted to because of waterpolo practice! But I finished it!

'beauty aiming for perfection but losing personality in the process'
very interesting piece, well done
I have often thought of photographing as many weird or odd faces as I could make, practicing in the mirror, but not being much of a photographer, and not even having a working camera, I have never gotten around to it.
Great idea. The idea of perfection is so incredibly skewed in the westernworld and subjectively (for me) it gets to a point where what the masses would call faultless holds a certain level of banality that just seems off. Many of us tend to latch on to a saddened perspective of beauty and perfection in this at times material world and it is nicely challenged in your piece. "keeping up with fasion becomes more about your income..." nice, I wish I could read all of the writing in the background, which by the way holds a (ironically so) an awesome perfection to it, all of those capital letters so impeccably placed
Your response made my day!!!! and the text in the back always follows up on the line after it.. And it is not entirely written well. I got distracted and started swirving the last couple of lines. (too lazy to measure it out) That is why the dots; to fill up the randomly created space!
Keeping up with fashion depending on one's income has been quite the trend throughout history! Traces of this can be clearly seen in Africa where you should be fat (or at least the man) if you are rich to show that you can afford the food! It is very clearly seen in the western "blonde" which 1 seemed to be cool to do for a while and 2 was applauded for keeping up with your roots and whatnot... blond streaks (and a tan) would indicate that you had enough time/money to laze about in the sun and a white skin (in earlier days and very much so in asian countries) that you could pay people to work out in the field for you! I could go on and on.. but it is a never endinginteresting subject
Thankyou for reading!!!!!! and going along in the thoughtprocess!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
