I will answer your questions with this.
Do they reveal a new truth or help remind us of and old one?
Not a relative truth but an absolute one.
Do they speak to most of the people most of the time? ...

Entertainment lets us escape from our selves.

Art makes us look into ourselves.

Big differance.

It's always dangerous trying to come up with definitions for art.

Is a soup can art?

Is ...

This is an issue causing me some frustration. When I print images, they come out looking like they do on my monitor. But when I view my images on other monitors, they always look much darker, with a ...

Hi all,

This is a character illo. I just finished. The character is a barbarian who transformed into an orc for a time, and had a few traits left over when he turned back. Comments welcome.

I don't see any picture...?

I think this one is a clear improvement over some of your earlier dog portraits, Socar. The dog itself is much more solid and the anatomy is sharper. Great work, as always! Is there a reason the bu ...

maxetormer: I agree with you that I tend to use static poses too often. It's something I'm working on.

Mariela: Thanks very much. Smile

The first image took probably 15-20 hours, not including the ...

Hi All,

I've finished a batch of character commissions and wanted to share them. They're all done with Photoshop 5.5. I know there isn't much story going on, but hopefully there's definite mood an ...

Are you going to render it any further? I still like it, but I'd like to see more details. Is he looking down into water or is that just a gulley? And something interesting in the bottom left corne ...

If you think it's working as it is, that's also valuable. Smile

What problems are you having specifically? It looks good so far.

Great little sketch. Something bugs me about the pose of the orc, however. The way he's holding the axe so high up the handle bugs me, though I don't know if there's anything actually wrong with it. ...

Odd little thing. It desperately needs a background of some kind.

Well, what kind of colouring are you trying to do? Right now, it just looks like you've put down some flat, solid colours. What about shading and highlights to give it some sense of shape?

Looks good so far. Nice colour scheme and good sense of mood. Makes me want to know what's going on, which is always a positive thing.

This is an interesting image, with lots of positive stuff going on. Since you asked about light, one thing that struck me was that although the figure seems lit from below, the wings cast shadows as ...

I agree that she definitely needs a face. The hair doesn't register as though it is in front of her face, nor is there any other indication of wind in the image. Even if there was, it doesn't appear ...

I think you have some interesting things going on here. That said, using the dodge and burn tools are not great ideas. Neither one has any understanding of colour, and they do tend to make things to ...

Hi all,

Need a little assistance here. I've been trying to get comfortable with abstract, coloured backgrounds, like the kind Seegmiller uses and describes in his recent book. I could use some op ...

Whoa, relax dude. If you post something here, you are giving the message that you are open for comments and critiques of your work. Stop being so defensive.
Oh, and personal attacks don't generall ...

I like this a lot! Has definite style, and the textured background is amazing! How did you do it?

I like the picture and I think your colouring is very effective. I can't help seeing a problem with the arm and gun, however. To me, it looks like the hand is in front of the face, and the gun doesn ...

Interesting...I think you should decide on which technique you want to use. The lines in the hair are very precise, and the face is much messier and more free. They don't combine very well. If you ...

I think it looks terrific. The lid (?) and a bit of the flank do stand out as being a little under done, but they aren't blatantly obvious to my eye.

I think the middle on has the best musculature, although I would suggest studying from the real thing. The foreshortening on the top works, but the last one doesn't. The way his fingers bend make it ...

Great job on textures! I'd love to be able to do stone like that. My first observation about the anatomy was the right arm, which seems overly short. I agree about the head being too large as well.

How do you fix this? I've got Poser, and although I haven't fully explored it, I haven't noticed anything obvious that fixes anatomical twists. I especially have problems getting kneecaps looking re ...

I like what you've got, although I agree with needing more detail in the clothing. Right now they look very flat and featureless. I'm not terribly bothered by the lack of background. More dramatic ...

Wouldn't the fire coming out the bottom light up the bottom left part a little more? Great colour scheme. I agree with the background being a little flat...that's my weak spot too.

The anatomy on your second one is much better. The first is in a highly awkward pose, with an arm that couldn't possibly bend that way. I would suggest you try drawing figures using something as a r ...
