Fan Art : The Great Wall Of Sam

 Fan Art : The Great Wall Of Sam



Warning: Gore
Full size version available here : img713.imageshack.us/img713/3500/save0191copy.jpg


What's the concept ?

I filled the following prompt for the [livejournal.com profile] sharp_teeth  community requested by [livejournal.com profile] rokhal   :

As Sam's Wall breaks down, things from behind it trickle out into the real world.

I just HAD to drew this. The "Great Wall of Sam"? Monsters stepping out into the real world? It's just perfect! I love drawing gore stuffs and I must admit I haven't drawn something like this for a long time. I've been working on my very schmoopy prompt for [livejournal.com profile] spn_cinema  (inspired by the movie Romeo + Juliet) for one month and an half now and even if I love the result so far, I missed drawing arts with blood, skulls and organs all over the page.  Even if there is a death scene in R+J, it's nothing compared the gore potential offered by what's hidden behind the "Great Wall of Sam". 

An inspiration?

The anatomical drawings by J.M Bourgery  and N.H Jacob. I have the Taschen book at home and I am in love with it (it's a BIG book). I also had some help from my Mum's books (she's a surgeon). Here's an example of the great illustrations you can find in the Bourgery and Jacob's book:
 
 
 
Tools of the trade
 
- Graphite, charcoal and China Ink on Japanese paper for Sumi e
- Photoshop CS (Background texture + white highlights)

I hope you enjoyed this post!
See you soon!

WOW! I love the look on his face. The texture of the paper just adds something to it all. Or maybe that's just me since it makes me want to reach out and touch.

This paper drove me nuts. It's very fragile and I was always afraid to tear it >< The effect it gives is not bad but I am not sure to use it again XD
Thanks a lot for the very kind comment about my art ♥

Gorgeous as always...and really damn creepy...

I tried to draw something VERY creepy this. I am happy I managed to reach my goad \o/

I dunno if gorgeous is the word for it...but DAMN that's some awesome piece of work :D

Love the skulls

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if "gorgeous" is the right word either but as long as you liked it, words are not important ;)
Thanks a lot for the great comment about my work ♥

[identity profile] expectative.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's freaking gorgeous! A bit creepy, but gorgeous nonetheless!

Un de mes meilleurs amis est médecin, et j'adore regarder ses livres d'anatomie. Je trouve ça fascinant, tout comme les opérations chirurgicales que tu peux voir dans certains documentaires ou dans le magazine de la santé, par exemple.

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh Le magazine de la Santé! Michel Cymes et ses blagues grivoises sont un plaisir (couplable, le plaisir). Les sujets sont interessants mais en plus, j'avoue que j'ai tendance à rigoler plus qu'à la normal pour un magazine médical.
J'avoue, ce fan art est gore mais quand on répond à une requête pour Sharp_teeth, c'est toujours pour pondre un truc gore (Ca serait bien dommage sinon!)
Merci pour ton commentaire très sympa sur mon dessin ^o^

Glad you enjoyed it so much =D

Holy Hell!! That's amazing. I love that it shows the horror that surrounds Sam and it's as though he's trying to keep it at bay - but it's breaking through. So heart wrenching and scary.

*guh*

I wanted the art to be as horrible as possible so I am glad you found it scary =D

Wow this is really amazing art you've done there!

This is some disturbingly beautiful art!

I'm a gore fanatic, and I always GUH over your creepy!art. *____* it's seriously gorgeousss.

(I also went over to [livejournal.com profile] sharp_teeth for the first time to check it out and had to shield my eyes, and click "BACK BACK BACK" when I started GETTING IDEAS AND FALLING ALL OVER THE PROMPTS. D:)

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I love drawing creepy stuffs, there's never enough blood or organs when I draw gore arts ^^

Argh! That's my fault if you went to check out the sharp_teeth comm :/ I should never have told/remind you about it. Now you just WON'T help lurking there to see if there is an interesting prompt. Sorry about that :/

Thanks a lot for the great comment about my art ♥

[identity profile] artmetica.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
*sigh* Imageshack hates me... The usual IP trick still works, but I can only view half of the pic (pic ends just below Sam's right hand) T-T
But from the part I'm seeing here, it looks really fantastic. It's really intense, frightening, and beautiful! Your shading is really awesome *_*
And holy crap, I can't wait to drool at your schmoopy R&J art! (or should I say J&J? XD)

Ah! Your inspiration pic for this is amazing and kinda freaks me out! XD Is it a finger on his brain?

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Imageshack is a spoiled brat who'd deserve a good spank sometimes ^o^ Don't worry, I also hosted the image on Tumblr. I hope it will work:
http://petite-madame.tumblr.com/post/4805578640/a-prompt-i-filled-for-the-sharp-teeth-community-on#notes

I used a 9B pencil for the shading and the 3H for the highlights ^o^

Don't ask me about the finger in the brain on the reference picture. I really don't understand what the hell this finger is doing there. XD I noticed it too but unfortunately, I don't have an answer :/

Thanks a lot for the great comment about my art ♥

As always, Petite, this is awesome work. You are so good at this!

I love gore and I couldn't resist this prompt ^o^
Thanks a lot for the great comment Kady ♥

that is gory and disgusting and a little creepy and perfect for the show. i like the way that the wall behind him looks like it's cracking, and overall it looks like sam is being swallowed/absorbed by all the monsters and darkness but is trying to hold them back, which i actually really like. (altho i'm not sure that's what you were going for.)

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly what I was going for ^o^ Your description of my art is perfect. Sometimes I have problem explaining what I wanted to convey but people who leave comments always know how to find the right words. =D
Thanks a lot for the great comment about my art ♥

[identity profile] sandymg.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
My goodness. Poor Sammy. Damn, I hope it's not really that bad. I kept staring at his belly button. It seemed ... vulnerable all exposed. Also noticed the top jeans button being open. Hmm. There may be a theme here :) Illustration is stunning. And scary as heck.

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Now that you mention it, I really wonder why I drew him with the top jeans button open XD That's funny that with all the horrible things going on around Sam, the thing you noticed the most is the belly button. ^^
Thanks a lot for the great comment about my art ♥

[identity profile] cherry916.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I really love this one. The texture really adds to the appeal of it even though the subject matter may be a little dark.

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's for Sharp_teeth. Whatever the prompt, it's always gore and dark ^^

Beautiful as always!
I love the bluntness and the soft cruelty of this piece.

I love it when you dabble in the macabre. The sinewy/veiny outgrowth surrounding him looks amazing.

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
I missed macabre and gore a lot after all the schmoopy and funny arts I drew in the last couple of months. I should draw that kind of stuffs more often =D
Thanks a lot for the great comment about my work Maichan ♥

[identity profile] freedom-fly.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Beautiful. Love the atmosphere of it
Also like the texture. Is that the paper you drew it on or done in PhotoShop?

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks a lot ^^
As far as the the texture is concerned, it depends: the sepia texture is added thanks to Photoshop but the grain of the image is due to the paper itself. It's a Japanese paper for ink works like sumi e

[identity profile] atanih88.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, gorgeous work as usual. Creepy and sad when you think about what could happen once that wall breaks down.

[identity profile] petite-madame.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks a lot ^^
I am looking forward the end of the season and seeing how they are going to deal with the Great Wall of Sam :)

[identity profile] xarixian.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, that's amazing. I love the texture, and the way the skull sort of melts (so not the right phrasing) into his face.

That inspiration picture is creepy. My immediate reaction was 'Urgh!' but I am quite fascinated by it.

[identity profile] xarixian.livejournal.com 2011-04-21 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, also, also, the way they're surrounding him, and he's trapped by them. By 'melting' I meant that smoky effect where the skulls and his shoulder/side of his face blur together.
