You've got 'it.' The 'it' factor that I wish I had...creativity and originality bundled with technical skill... you should be blowing away NY snobs with your talent at MOMA and the Guggenheim. Do you know that?

twin peaks!! really good painting.the yellows make it cheerful and light. THE FACE IS really nicely done!! wow.

(life is way too complicated now, true, there were advantages to yester-year, simpler times had less STRESS.SURE, TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT, BUT man himself is still too primitive and animal-based to handle it. our homo sapiens hasn't changed to keep up with tech; we're still the human who farmed, went by the seasons, had religions, superstitions, and lived by our instincts. Homo sapiens is just not ADVANCED, EVOLVED, to keep up with his sciences. )thus, we still need simpler times as this picture illustrates. GREAT PICTURE!!

Rough Guide...feel free to erase anything, I'm sure its not quite in proportion
Draw on one layer, put black square over your work on seperate layer.
Make a note in your revision which layers you edited.
Please add layers for next person to use.
when mentioning which layers you used, it would be helpful if you state the # and its position, ex: "i used layer 1. on the bottom" or "I used layer 1. on the top".
reason being what one person considers the first layer is relative.
Order of drawing will be the same in which offer was accepted, 1. Dan, 2. Clox, 3. Staci, 4. myself.
Pick whichever block is still available.
Please refrain from peeking at previous work, I think it would add more to the experiment.
Feel free to draw in whatever style/colours you choose as long as ref is recognizable

hey its wicked-still havent seen that-good pic though

Sweetcell (Jun 20, 2006)

Oohhh, now I see why people were reffering her that way. So once upon a time she had smooth skin and was rather attractive? Well damn, it's too bad she turned out the way she did. Hell Oz would have thrown himself at her feet if he saw her this way. Ok, being silly. 8)

Deino (Jun 20, 2006)

I love the skin tones :D

RG (Jun 29, 2006)

I love Wicked! And I love this pic--she's beautiful. Just how I pictured her. I love the hair, it's perfect.

Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand,
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I'm lying here in your hand,
You to me are but a passing breeze.
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land You may find yourself.
Now you have my blessing, go your way.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.

Words can not express how much i like this painting. Good job!

Miss_DJ (Jun 9, 2006)

a wonderful portrait, and I'm with DBA...the verse is so full of love..it matches the draw perfectly.

Artiste (Jun 10, 2006)

She is a beautiful girl. The skin tones on the light side have that transluscent feel that you get from oil... very rich.
I think your monitor must be set much darker than mine... the side in shadow looks on my monitor to be unfinished in a way that suggests you see it much darker.

Anna (Jun 19, 2006)

I've come back to look at this one several times. Just beautiful! I love the warm colors!

Amazing. Wonderful skin tones. As far as Valo himself, I'd always been "blah blah what's the big deal" until I saw the music video for "Wings of a Butterfly", and now I'm like "guh". Granted, he sheared off all his hair, and I think that helps him (he looks kind of like a cross between Billy Idol and Billie Joe Armstrong from Greenday in the video.)

wboyer (Jul 10, 2006)

You so are freaking excellent at drawing tattoos, it's not even funny. And your portraits of musicians are just awe-inspiring... You wow me, stasiuk.

Omlets are good i like eggs and rice eggs and suasage eggs with bread, sunnyside up eggs upside down egges, eggs with grits, egg sandwiches, eggs and shrimp.......
Axil society sux ass i fucking hate working for the man day by day and for nothing it seem all i ver habve is enough to eat a small meal and barel pay my bills while some rich ass w hole who controls, starts and can end my work life sits backs or takes week long vacations many times a year collecting checks from money wich i killed my self to make for the damn company.

emmamommalag (edited Jun 8, 2006)

If there were no rich assholes, who would pay your wages, JK? If you don't like making him rich, start your own company and become a rich asshole, yourself. You like eggs.. how about a restaurant, specializing in egg dishes?
And btw, I like this picture. It's one of your best, Dan.

I think we all suffer from an inate need for something more that is never fulfilled.

Miss_DJ (Jun 16, 2006)

hey...I have an idea! you are a SUPERLATIVE ARTIST...why don't you sell your art and eventually open your own fricken gallery?? many of the other incredible artists here could pay you to show their art too. Then you can go put your feet in some white sand and feel more serene. Just a thought....it would get you off the 'treadmill'...

"Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an english toffee but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers."

Artiste (Jun 19, 2006)

I think you have some good beginnings here. I am responding here to your request for comments on your last picture.
My first reaction to your style is the use of both line and "paint" I think you should tone back your lines a little... and be more tentative as to where you use them. Line that folows the form is most effective, and should not stand out more than the content of the picture (if you know what I mean). In otherwords... youre letting the line speak too much, and your use of it is not making sense. For example, the scribbly line on the palm of the hand.

This style of art can be very effective, but you need to refine it just a bit.... think about where you are placing your lines and why. You have an excellent sense of form. Use the line to bring that out! You asked for a comment and got an earful! :)
