Very nice image Sear, it has a good impact. Would you like some crits?

GlueMan · Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2000 4:04 pm

Mate,
That kicks a fair amount of ass! I love the colours and the way you've used generous amounts of the white. It has a real rough, rushed look but retains great form and linework. The little touches of pink and green make the pic I reckon.
Very nice work.

"Praise the lord my brothers!!".

I agree with the above comments aswell.

My ex art teachers would orgasming over the gestural activity in this forum!!.

thats really nice sear !

the only thing that bothers me is hes lips, they are too round, they should be more hard edged IMO.

but its really nice, i also like fast pics, but youve got more skills

lukias:
hoo, thanks a lot. well, sometimes i feel like i've to do so speedy pics, they're way much "dynamics" that way.

hurri-cane: thank you very much. you're right about the lips. i didn't notice it while drawing. maybe i'll fix it,
maybe not. you know, when i feel like i've finished a pic, and there are some flaws left that i don't point out, then
i just leave it that way... heheh, i'm too lazy maybe too, who knows

so please, don't get me wrong if i don't
modify the lips, but i'll certainly tho

ok, later.

Hurri-cane · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2000 1:37 am

too lasy myself..

Yeah, soul approved.

The only thing that bothers me is that 100% red. Matter of taste I guess...nice work, keep rockin!

sear · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2000 2:11 am

hurri-cane: great minds think alike

it's obvious that my chararcters are graff inspired, given that i'm also a graff writer

you know, mural,
digital or usual art... it's all about creating images.

jaymo: well, i'm pretty happy with that 100% red

but i'm glad you liked it anyhow.

faustgfx: well, the point is i don't know who chris peterson is...

sear · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2000 7:31 am

have you got a pic of chris peterson? if so mail it or post it.

agent44 · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2000 7:34 am

Looks good. I really like your style.

Joachim · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2000 7:52 am

I think it looks really cool. Nice colors and feeling to it. If you want crits, there's just one thing I would fix if I was you, though it can still be a bit exaggerated, is the space between the eye and ear, A bit to big area in my op. I guess you can fix that by rotate the ear a bit to the left ?!?

keep'em coming

agent44: thanks a lot. (i like your style as well, really nice)
joachim: oh my god, thanks for ansering

glad to know you find it cool, it makes me happy. you might
be right talking about the space between the ear and the eye. rotating the ear a tiny bit anticlockwise could
be a solution as well, i'll think about it, and thank you for the tip. but as i told earlier, sometimes i like to keep
the minor mistakes, it make it more realistic, given that nobody is flawless

frost: if you still wanna do some critics, then go ahead, i'm ready

Justin Kramer · Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2000 8:11 am

wow. I really like this. The rough brush strokes and colors give it a nice texture. As others noted, there are a few anatomical oddities, but I don't think they detract much. I understand your relutance to go back and fix it up--it's hard to go back to a painting that was done spontaneously.

hi justin,

thanks!!! i was also pretty happy with the texture. and i must admit it, i won't
fix it up i guess, given that i just like it that way

spontaneous

I like the style a lot.
That dude looks like a cross between Billy Bob Thornton and Henry Rollins! haha
