Psychadellic.....what a hippie word, just say cool, or awesome

Hey, some of us see nothing wrong with "hippie words" -- and this piece merits the term, I think. It definitely depicts an altered perception of reality! All in all, a very cool, very promising work! Thanks for telling us a bit about the tools you're using, Zappo -- I haven't used Shi-Painter much, I'll have to try the pen, if it can contribute to results like this! :) Of course, the tool is nothing without the artistic vision, and I'd have to say that you have that, in spades! I really look forward to watching your work develop -- and this piece confirms it, I'll be bookmarking your gallery! :)

damn interesting

awesome. reminds me of snoozys matrix pic. love the style.

This is a very emotionally effective piece, despite its simplicity! I love the message in it. :)

oooo... birdie... lookz so real! and i luv how the strings are put. ^^

i love ur drawing thanx for showing me this website

Ooh, this piece is nice! I agree with tigr3ss - the raven is very effective, despite some anatomical flaws - this piece was good enough to catch my eye from your user gallery, as I was browsing your work. I admit that I'm rather fond of ravens to start with, but this piece is good! Nice use of environmental imagery to practise with - I prefer not to see artists stick with copying other people's work, but I can see why you'd want to try your hand at this piece -- and it's really nicely rendered. :) I'd love to learn more about some of the techniques you're using. :)

Very nice underwater view of a skate! <smile> It makes me want to experiment with more drawings of this type -- very nicely done, but also very inspirational, and that (to me) is one of the hallmarks of a good artistic creation.

Pretty cool man, those things are wicked. Gotta take a break from programming sometime :)

this is ancient

This is pretty! It rather reminds me of the Elizabethan Barmaid I'm working on at the moment, actually, I was kind of surprised to see another piece here so similar in appearance. <smile>

By the by -- in answer to your question, it's spelled "renaissance", meaning "rebirth" (which is how I remember not to double the "n", because it's re-naissance, if you break the word down into its component parts).

And, not to be picky, but the costume isn't renaissance in style -- that would be more like your classic "Romeo & Juliet" style of clothing. This dress style is more like those from about 100 years later, at least; but it's well executed, which is what matters -- <smile> -- not a slip of the tongue in labelling the era.

And yes, I know the style of dress is common at "Renaissance Faires", but they usually include a mixture of historical eras in their costuming, etc., which I think confuses people. <wry chuckle>

this is very beutiful!!!!

This is quite pretty, and though I do agree that there's a bit of difference in feel between the background and the foreground, to me it doesn't come across as being quite as extreme a difference as it apparently does to Turtlebuster. I particularly love what you've done with her hair!

My one question is whether her right (farther) shoulder is a little high, or whether it's intended to suggest that she's picking up her skirts on that side, and that's why her shoulder is lifted a bit out of true? Either way I try to interpret it, her neckline seems a bit out of true on that side, and so I've been wondering what you intended.

I've been trying to master poses similar to this one, and my eye for them seems better than my hands can execute so far, but I find it helpful to learn from others' work. As a result, I'm particularly interested in details of the pose, and how to make it convincing to the eye, that's why I ask.

Regardless of the answer, I still think she's quite pretty and eyecatching -- she really stands out, even at this small size and amid the assortment of other pictures in this portion of your gallery. <smile> I'm browsing through your pictures in chronological order, to see how you got to your present skill level, and seeing your earlier works is encouraging -- it gives me hope that with practise, my own work will likewise progress in skill, from the "merely pretty" (no insult intended) to the "truly stunning", as yours has. <smile>

its Mizz Dixie outside her castle!! very purdyful

Wow, its so cute, I love the sketchiness in her jacket n.n

Very cool, dig the color gradiation and the style...it looks sketchy crossed with modern jpop art...Peace, Jack

omg this is sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Ari :).

Yea. I agree with every one that posted on this. You bob1ggity is wasting your time. If you think your wasting your time then dont comment. *cough* This is cool. I like the line-blur idea.

This caught my eye from Ari's Gallery, and I have to say, graywolf, you created a nice effect by blurring the lines like that. I really like the results -- and I consider them very inspirational, in terms of giving me ideas about how to use the tool to better effect.
