Man, what did I doSo I uploaded this as a curiosity and sudden realizationAnd my god, when I saw this afternoon the response, like 400+ comments? A hot debate I created about beauty, being natural or not. I kinda feel like a troll But on to the point,Please, I just want to say before anyone jumps into conclusions, I am neutral on the matter.I don't care if wearing make-up is good or bad, or makes you look better or worse.I'm just stating the obvious; people can be transformed by make-up.My purpose of this is to actually show make-up is another form of ART, and to me, being the most important tool in my work, makes wonders.Sometimes being natural is boring (NOT ugly I say), and my goal is to create characters that can't exist but are born and molded from my head to you by makeup. And they are not always beautiful, not to me. But I don't care.I don't know if any of you get it, what I'm trying to say, or if it makes any sense.But whatever, thought I had to say it. :

The Then & Now Feature.:iconshakecancerplz:The idea for this feature has developed over the past month or so, triggered by the comments we all get from time to time, like; "'I'll never be able to draw like that" or "I wish I could learn how to do that".Also around a month ago I was asked a few questions by a very sweet, polite 16 year old girl on here who was extremely grateful that I took the time to answer her.To cut a long story short, I've taken this girl under my wing in the hope of giving her the encouragement and feedback she lacks from those around her and also to develop her skills and knowledge to the point where she feels confident enough to experiment and grow on her own.So, this feature is mainly for those just starting out in the world of graphite along with those doubting that they could ever improve beyond their current level and is just a very small selection of graphite artists I both admire and aspire to become as good as. All were chosen for this feature due
The Graphite Challenge 2012 - contest closedI've gone MAD! Today I am calling all of you graphite traditional realist artists. You, who take pride in drawing very realistic, photo-like. You think your drawings are good? Think again!I envy you. Graphite and I have never been friends, and most of my watchers know it. I can't draw as well as you do using graphite. And I admire you.And that is why I challenge you to participate in my new contest: The Graphite Challenge 2012!Take a look at my photo:Before you decide to accept the challenge and draw it, read the rules. Failure to comply with them will get your drawing rejected.RULES OF THE GRAPHITE CHALLENGE 2012:1. You must draw the photo above using graphite pencils over white paper.

Cropping the original picture is not allowed. You may extend the margins, th
SickHe could hear it, the bloody figure walking behind him over nimble feet. Then his eyes were forced to close as cold, bony fingers covered his sight. Nails like claws buried deep into his cheek as she breathed softly, surely bloody lips drawn into that scornful smile he both loved and detested."You're mine."And then she was gone, back into the sweet torments of his mind. And then, like venom, she left him on the floor, dead and strangely calm. ---I had to get this out of my head.I know, I'm weird.
Haunt your demons.Chain them up, hunt them down.

Well shit.In thought and philosophy I am eloquent and intelligent. I can turn a flower into a tragedy and a skull into something beautiful. I can soar on wings of vocabulary and color the sky with the wonderful words I love so much. If I could speak them I would be dangerous. Alas, when I open my mouth it all comes crashing down around my ears. Why would I be given such a gift if I couldn't share it with the dying world around me? I just want to touch something with my pigment. I hope that maybe I can shade something with my true colors. Just one thing. It could be a person, a squirrel, a wall for all I care. If one photon of light tinged with my hue reached someone and they were affected by it, I could die happy. I want to shout my words from a roof top. If just one person heard me –really heard what I had to say- and understood I would be happy. I am, however, doomed to be forever tongue tied and painted into the back ground by the world I want to touch. Such is the tragedy of the wanderer.
Completely pointless rant. Feel free to ignore.Aaaaaaaaaaaalright. It's three in the bloody morning over here. I'm tired as fuck. And...I'm pissed off.Why? Because of the insensitive, idiotic people in this world. It's just... I don't even know. I have this thing where as soon as I see someone who just... I can't really explain it. But I'm sure you all know what I mean by insensitive and idiotic. We all have our own definitions, but they're all similar.Some of you might find this entertaining to read, that's fine. But I'm not joking here, I'm Tired as hell and pissed off at anything that moves ( aka, moaning for the sake of moaning ) fed up with dealing with these kind of people.What I mean is, people who don't put a thought into anything they say, the people who only think about themselves. Now, I'm not saying you can't care about yourself, but it's important to give a fuck about other people too, wouldn't you agree? If you don't agree, that's cool. But I'm just saying what I need to say. Basically I'm letting

'Kill the Gays' bill imminent - you can help stopYou've probably heard that members of the Ugandan Parliament are, once again, moving forward with their Anti-Homosexuality Bill -- better known as the "Kill the Gays" bill because of its draconian consequences for LGBT Ugandans and their allies. The bill calls for imprisonment or death to those who are LGBT, imprisonment for those who help LGBT folks, and even imprisonment for those who know that someone is LGBT and don't report them to the authorities.Where did this bill come from? The United States. This bill was created and the fires beneath it were stoked by American right-wing evangelicals like Scott Lively, Rick Warren, Lou Engle, and many others. Though some have now backtracked from their role in moving this bill forward, many are pressing forward -- delighted at their success.. The worst part is that there are also American politicians who are connected through a secretive group called "The Family" who have the power to put an end to this bi
