painty_mimi OP t1_jc5t9tq wrote

Thank you so much!! I don't really have much of an inspiration this is just my style. I tend to draw like this when I get anxious so I worked on turning that into my art style. I'm actually a small artist and all my work looks similar to this although this one was a bit experimental for me.

Hope that wasn't oversharing 😅

Nightmare before christmas was my initial thought.

I haven't seen that, would you recommend?

Yeah your art style suggests you probably would.

Its not always a given, people look at my interests and suggest things, sometimes they are right and wrong. But the art style is similar and its made my Tim Burton

You probably will. It’s amazing and beautiful with characters that are still extremely popular even though the movie came out in the 90s. Occasionally you can find it playing in theaters. Usually around Halloween. You’d probably love Corpse Bride too.

I also think you’d love Edward Gorey if you don’t already. He wrote some amazing macabre children’s books illustrated with his pen and ink drawings.

I've seen corpse bride!! It's so...I think it's best to describe it by saying what someone else on here said and call it hauntingly beautiful.

I'll definitely check out Edward Gorey, thanks for the suggestion!

I immediately thought of the little sad ghost girl from Squee.

I love Invader Zim but hadn’t heard of Squee or Johnny C. until today. Thank you so much!

I believe the Johnny and Squee comics are both available in a trade paper back. It's been awhile since I've read them but if you're a fan of Zim you'll enjoy them both. Just a warning the Johnny comics get pretty dark and unsettling. Squee is still pretty dark but leans more into the humor.

I saw Squee was available as a book now. I love dark and macabre stuff. I’m a proud deathling and also don’t mind disturbing. Thanks for the warning, though.

Really cool, I sometimes like do something similar and see what arises. Kinda inspires me to try playing around with this method a bit more.

Looks good. I like it. I would bring the body in black all the way down but wouldn't add anything. Maybe taper the body out.

Very Nightmare before Christmas vibes.

You should check out Tim Burtons art work. He incorporates it in all.his films.

Like the statue in Beetlejuice
