gotta love the face. Really good.

But in my taste/opinion you should consider changing the color of the shirt, or atleast add more hue variations to tone it down a bit: The color of the shirt is my most hated color..purple..Noone has ever used purple and gotten away with it( including Boris Vallejo..lol)

Nothing really bad, just my color taste;-)

Very solid looking piece, doesn't look like just a test. I like the style a lot. Do I see a Justin Sweet influence a little in there? I don't mind the shirt color but it could maybe have some more hue variations (just a bit) as Veb said.

Yup, very distinctive face. The highlights on the cloth look good too. Very radiating. The gloves look a little too shiney (like bowling balls) Mabey more of a satin highlight.

Great stuff as usual Boomer... crits pretty much go as Veb and Micke wrote. =)

I've always liked your style and paintings, Boom

The face looks awesome! What about making the folds bigger? and take away some of them. It's a little too much going on there i think. Also maybe tone down the contrast a little.
The painting looks really great!

Have to go back to work...See ya.

very kool boom, definetely love the face. Kinda see a fabryish influence there.

I agree the purple is abit too strong for my liking too. Maybe block the lower robe with more of a midtone and use the purple u have for the stronger highlights?

do you plan to work this some more or leave it as it is??

Thanx for the replys guys. Its nice to know that I'm on the right track...
First of, I agree about the color of the shirt. Don't know why I didn't see that...

Toast! - Well, I'm a big fan of Seeg. I believe he is one of the most accomplished artist around here at the moment. I would be a fool not to look at his paintings, tutorials or whatever for inspiration.
Bizarde - thx. dude. The stuff you've been posting lately is simply amazing.
Veb - You're right. Good suggestions. And thanks also

Rhomb - well, it was just a test. Done in an hour and a half. The same goes for Justin Sweet as what I said about Seeg. Sweet's work is among the best I have seen. Ever.
Mickie - thx, my friend. Nice comments on the folds. Since this was just something I had to test, I didn't really felt it nessecary(sp?) to use reference, thus the folds are more graphic than realistic. But you're right, ofcause. Aren't you always?

Cos - thx dude. Good suggestions too. I don't plan to follow this up. I'll remember what everyone said here and hopefully improve on the next one.
Zenonithus - heh. Only one comment on the gloves. Actually I was expecting more comments on the gloves than the rest of the picture... And you're right.
Frost - thx, my friend. Following lead, are you? That doesn't seem like you, eh?

Sear - heh. I promise not to use that color again for a very long time. Okay?
Napalm - I don't think that I have ever been compared with Sam Keith before, but since I really like his work, I'll take that as a compliment.

,Boom

That looks like Mickes style... in my humble opinion.... respect!

tayete · Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2001 6:14 am

Good job!

And yes, the shirt hurts a bit the eyes.

janne · Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2001 8:57 am

hehe. i haven't decided if i like the shirt color or not

but anyways i like the fact that you dare to experiment with non-conventional color schemes. and i think that micke has a good point about those folds.

yep. otherwise this very solid work (as always!)

S4Sb - mickes style? Hmmm... I have heard that before, but I don't think this one looks like something micke would do. He's too good for that.

Tayete - thx.
Janne - Yes. My intent was do give the shirt a eyecathing color, but I do think (like others) that I went a little overboard.
Biggun01 - practice, practice. Painter was a big mystery to me also alittle while back. Seeing very nice stuff from Veb, Saffron, Jason Manley, Janne and others made the difference. Now I can't go back...
,Boom

I'm in the 'like' category too...Great stuff very stylish

I'd have to agree with you and disagree with S4Sb about the Micke comparison. Your styles are rather different
