Melody tries to draw herself!

Postby TheMelodyMaker » Wed Nov 12, 2003 10:28 am

Normally I don't even really like drawing, and it's probably one of my worst talents; I only do it so that I've got something to show for my own work-in-progress video game The Traveller's Guide. But a few months ago I decided that I wanted a good anime-ish close-up of Melody's face to be displayed on the game's menu screen so I tried drawing it freehand. I was actually pretty impressed with the results. (But I still don't like to draw. ^_~ )

Note that in the game this is shrunken down to 64*64 pixels.

Not at all bad for someone who doesn't like drawing! LOL No, really, it looks good!

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

That's pretty good for someone who doesn't like to draw. :) I thought of putting up some of my stuff because everyone else tells me they don't like to see what I draw - it scares them. :(

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Thanks for the feedback; I'm glad you guys like it. ^_^ (And maybe I'll take anonymous' advice if I ever decide to try drawing any of my other characters' faces.)

Sorry... you'll just have to wait now until I can get a demo of The Traveller's Guide ready. (Don't ask when; it might be a while yet, but I am very slowly getting it done.)

(Yay -- someone bumped my thread. I'm so happy now! :grin: ) Uh... good question; I've never thought about it before. :sweat: Well-placed hair-spray, maybe? :lol: (I'll have to work that one into the game somehow. ;) )
