hey y'all...thought i'd post some art i did lately...i am finally getting back to doing art for myself thats not work related. i realized doing work art only for 3 years SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF ME.

the first one i did on monday when i got into work and really didnt want to do anything. the second one i did early this year sometime..or maybe last year.

here are the two pics:

hope you like them

hi Dhabih
i`m new here so i`ll just post a little crit..........
nice work........the second looks kind of surreal......cool the way you`ve created him hollow, nice that but the left shoulder does look a little bit low and too far out........the first is good work, lovely values on that........

hope that`s ok.....

Hmm, maybe I'll post something worthwhile...

I really like the muscle definition in the first image. My first reation was that it looks like the anatomical studies of Renaissance masters, particularly Buonarotti and DaVinci.

i hate to waste a post just for saying woohoo. but there. woohoo.

Nice pics Dhab. i like the color bleeding and vibrancy of the second pic.. and the lower part of the first one is very well done, has a very tactile quality to it
good to have you back!

I was joking around that you only come around when the board goes down, Dhabih. But you posted artwork!

Nice stuff. I really like that lighting on the second one. That red looks evil.

The second one... very cool, very funny...

mannela · Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2002 8:36 am

Back in action, huh?

Anyway, I like them both.
The first one looks great with the muscle detailing and then second one has nice colors and idea.

Lexmir · Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2002 9:35 am

Very Very Nice, though the second freaks me out a bit with that painted on smile.

Ah, to come on to the forum and see the top 4 topics in a row started by Gecko, Spooge, Dhab, and Enayla. Bloody brilliant!

As always, very nice pictures! Me like. Hope these sketches help turn the 'life sucking' around... from suck, to blow. No, wait! To invigoration, of course.

"i realized doing work art only for 3 years SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF ME."

I absolutely and totally agree with you on that. Nice pics, really like the bottom one -- nice play on the specular. And, above all else, welcome back.

Cheers,
Frost.

Man, it's good to see you're still in the game Dhabih! I've been a fanboy of yours since I first took interest in digital art. And seeing that this is your first post here since I joined up on _your fantastic board_ (

), this really is good news.
Great images as usual.
Oh, and thanks for repairing the board so quickly!

Sharper-Image · Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2002 10:24 am

Oh my gosh, I can't believe my eyes!

Is this gonna become a more regular thing, Dhab? I hope so.

I really like the second image too. Like Frost mentioned, great job with the specular highlights. I love the mouth. Very cool.

This is like history in the making

Vesuvius · Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2002 1:17 pm

Dhabih? I thought you were just a myth made up to scare children..... I never imagined you truly EXISTED!

(just kidding, when I first joined 2 years ago you still, on occassion, posted).

gLitterbug · Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2002 1:53 pm

Hi, it�s great to see you finally post art again after such a long time!

Both pics are great, I like surreal stuff. No clue why but it reminds me of sylvester stallone.

Are you using Photoshop 7?

Pickman · Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2002 2:04 pm

I completly understand the life-sucking thing. It's the same to me. But these two pix show, that there's still enough life in you to make great Paintings!!!

adm_soul · Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2002 2:15 pm
