Yes! Green, thanks for the link.

It's interesting because I've been wanting to know more about drawing software. I am totally in the dark with what's out there, and have only up until now used traditional materials to make art. If you know of any others let us know. And what is Bioshock?

Argentina Girl with Damaged Eye

On a trip to Argentina I saw a girl in her 20's who had her left eye almost closed. We looked at each other, I was upstairs on a bus which her family member was boarding. She was beauty incarnate with her closed eye. The drawing doesn't do her justice, but I wanted a record of it somehow.

Her nose doesn't seem to be in great shape either.

[Pluto]

no? but you've already seen it as a nose and that was enough.

I could only tell it was a nose because it's in the middle of her face.
It just seems tough on the girl. She could wear sunglasses for her eye but she can't do much about the nose.

Yes maybe it could be improved, but the focus was on the eyes. This is a good line:

I'm just joking, Pluto.

While trekking through the abandoned coalfields of South Yorkshire a couple of summers ago I came across this man. He had very little to start with but, as if life hadn't already dealt him a bad enough hand, someone had now stolen his only chair. His sheer determinedness not to be beaten moved me to tears. I only had a short time to make this sketch before his leg gave way and he fell down but I think I managed to capture the essence of his spirit.

the text betrays the drawing somewhat, though not entirely. You are open then appear mocking simultaneously. The drawing is really beautiful and interesting. It's better than a david shrigley as there's no pun included. The drawing without text. The subject matter if real is real and so has power as it's attached to those who are destroyed by the system. The system must destroy those who threaten it the most. But even if the drawing was made without attachment to any social conflict, it's still a great drawing. Very free, open and spontaneous looking. Does he:she sit, or are they getting up. Is it man transcending sitting for standing to confront his time?

Pluto, I think you understand me.

[Pluto]

That's impossible, you are way too complex (in a good way). I see what you have done in the drawing, and said in the text, these are keys.

Bioshock is a video game with some of the greatest environments imo, and the plot is philosophical too. Something maybe folks in here can appreciate.
