This is a very loose approach that i tried. I tried to emphasise certain parts of version one, whilst keeping the loose effect. Would appreciate some comments ;)

Thanks you guys for the comments.
Shmoopy: thanks for your words+ compliment (its not new-age influenced at all though(dreams may often seam like new-age, but this is not :) )
davincipop: thanks, i intended it to go high- i was caught in two minds: van Gogh or some other artist i know personally)
Aubrey...You noticed something that i wondered if people will notice or wonder about it. I knew that the angle was wrong quite late in the painting. It didnt bug me enough to change it. I suppose it adds to the "difficulty" of climbing this ladder in life at times. I guess i`ll keep it like that for now, but i guess i shuold have been more specific with the approach of climbing, or have gone the other route(correct angle and easy climbing). Well noticed.
thanks supergurl :)
Go well all.

I really like this, mx. :D Great job and nice style

Was just checking out your gallery, and this one is my favorite. I did notice the body's angle in relation to the ladder, and I wondered about it... briefly...makes it look to me slightly like this is a tunnel at an angle and not like a straight down well, but it isn't off enough to detract from the effect you were trying to get across so really doesn't matter. I love the feeling it gives me to look at it.

Thanks deadlyblonde:)
Is this artwork too seperate from my other style of artworks though?
Do you think my work looks like its done by the same artist, or is each artwork too individual causing me to be "undiscovered" in my own style?

Atlantis

Had a strange dream last night where I discovered the lost city of Atlantis because for some reason I owned my own deep sea submarine...

Sounds like a very cool dream, and a nice picture! I dunno if I'd like being in a deep sea submarine... knowing all that water was ontop of you and if somethin went wrong you were doomed... spooky...

bumpinthenight (May 28, 2004)

woah... frakky... nice idea and color combinations... however, I don't think that this should be on the advanced board.... :P

shudson (edited Jun 3, 2004)

woah, I just saw this on a windows machine for the first time and you can hardly see anything! I would like to take a cue from Fin and say "turn up the brightness or contrast or something on your computer please!" Or just buy a Mac, stupid windows ;)

Why do I feel like I've seen this picture on this site before? I'm really trippin I guess. Nice draw.

Shell Shock

DeadlyBlondeArcher (May 24, 2004)

from an old b&w photo from which the caption reads: A marine covered with dirt, grime and coral dust boards a coast guard assault transport in February of 1944 after two days and nights of fighting on Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands.

More than anything else, I wanted to capture his expression... that "thousand mile stare". Think I got it.

I saw what you wrote about the new book and I went to look at your gallery. For what it's worth, I think the book will be lacking by missing you. Your work is fabulous.

You are exceptionally talented and this one is beautifully done. Her eyes and lashes are just to die for, and so are those lips...

Aubrey (Jun 29, 2004)

That mouth reminds me of Julia Roberts. The dramatic background really sets the face up front too. I really like this.

This looks realy neat. Good job.=)

very good finish, it's even matted and framed, ready to put on the wall. Good job on this one!

O.O...........
wow. that's all I can say. I mean, I took a look at the photo and (Ok, maybe I just have really bad eyes when it comes to telling the difference between a photo and a pic, but oh well) the pic looks almost exactly like it!
I envy you.

Knockoff (May 30, 2004)

Wow, this is a great use of the texture tool, sal. I love the colors you used, and the background is nice.
When I first saw this, It reminded me of a bunch of rubber bands around his entire face. :)!
