Artist's Comments

This was my second try at traditional printing. Something about goats, I don’t know. I am also not sure what happened around his nose area, which sports a shadow that makes him look very mustached.

Go easy on me; I’m new at this. ^^

Monoprint
Oil-based ink
Tools: Plexiglas plate, brushes, paper towel, Q-tips, a big-ass printing press

Whoa, that looks kinda creepy. Very cool while smoking that cigarette, but also very creepy o.o

Love the way you made those horns (smiled a little at that "paper towel" part).

Since i've read about the "wanabe moustache" shadow I can only focus on it and it's hard to not laugh each time I see your picture ^^
It's quite hilarous, maybe because it act as a contrast with this picture wich makes me feel a bit uneasy with this weird eye staring at me and this black background.
Technically I really like the effect of the smoke and the horns

This is great, his nonchalant, repressive attitude has been captured so well, um not that all smoking goat men have nonchalant, repressive attitudes, that would be generalizing. Great job with the gentle shading and smoke lines too. He's going in my faves.

Oh, but that ink does make a mess. /..\

Thanks for the comment! It is a little dark and creepy; I wouldn't want to meet this guy.

Lol, thanks. It is supposed to be kind of a tongue-in-cheek surreal bit, but Goatman is still haunting. :evillaugh: Even with his 'stache.

Aw, thank you so much! :aww:
No, but we must not discriminate against the goatmen. Some are quite cheerful.

Haha. This is really great.
