He has a rather large chest compared to the size of his arms. Or maybe it's compared to the head. That's the impression I get at least.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah, the head's kinda small.

 

[Susperia]

It's not, but I understand why you think it is since he has no neck. I actually think his head is kind of big...

and his chest is large because his ribcage is protruding and he is tense and is about to shake and make the earth quake.

I wanted his upper body to be larger and have more definition because, well, he's a fucking Viking. If anything I could see you telling me to put more muscle definition into the thighs---Which I did try to do but it was very hard because I had no one to look at for those.

If you saw it in it's real 6ft dimensions where he's larger than you he'd look completely different. It's very different from looking at a picture of him the size of your computer screen.

Uh...the most prominent usage of Dore for Emperor is the rider on the the Emperor EP. As The Shadows Rise is also Dore.

i never said anything about which illustration was more prominent on their albums... I just said they use his illustrations and anthems is a example... but if i had to choose I like their anthems ones the best... especially the front cover..

Resurrecting this to whore stuff I've been doing for class...these are permanent marker renderings of charcoal rubbings I did myself. Took around 5 hours spread over two days...the assignment was/is to "draw" charcoal rubbings we had taken Monday (October 29 2007; on campus and inside the building). Now I am in the process of running these through a copier to enlarge/shrink/overlay them.

From top-left, moving serially:
"Wave," "Airvent," "Industry," "Clover," "Insanity," "Mechanics," "Dead Organism," and "Airvent II"

Original rubbings (in same order; these are untitled, though, since they are "source material" for the actual work):

I like the original rubbings a lot better. Good job actually.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Thanks. It is really difficult to draw marker renditions of rubbings done with super-dark compressed charcoal...and they were actually the best in the class...my prof used them as an example to the class as what an interesting rubbing rendition looks like.

Edit: It should also be noted that the first one on the bottom row of my renditions ("Insanity") should be rotated 180 degrees either way...I put it on the floor backwards.

I like the original rubbings a lot better.

I was going to say that, but I thought it might be rude. I figured the marker drawings took about 10 times as long to do.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Heh, yeah it's okay...no offense taken. I do as well, there is something about charcoal that makes the rubbings look surreal, dark (obviously), and obscure. Marker definitely fails to recapture it; but we had to draw them so we can copy/Xerox them correctly.

Definite flaws I can see would be obvious disproportion (some of the squares of bond paper were wider/taller than normal printer paper), bad drawing on "Insanity" (by that time I had decided to not care so much about the actual drawings but instead to pinpoint the "values," as it were...), and lack of light on some parts (whenever I went back in to see what I was missing, I would randomly convince myself that parts with necessary contrast were "too light" and needed to be slightly shaded...just me being finnicky I suppose).

It is difficult to emulate another work with a different medium. For this one, it is hard to capture the cloud-like feel of charcoal with something like marker.

Joel Peter Witkin

He was the one who originally made the cover for Devourement's "Molesting the Decapitated"
