The dodge and burn tools... If your work starts looking like you threw some photoshop filters on top of it or you rely on it to do your shading then you should ease up.
I hate to say it but I think this one is borderline...still interesting to look at though.

i saw it and knew it was you, but its not your usual standard. that could be just because you didn't use a ref? if you didn't then its pretty creative and stick at it dude, its about time you did a pic that was only 9/10

Oh my, I absolutely love this one. It's a new favorite of mine by you. If this was for sale I would by it. It's ethereal and speaks to me. Frankly the burn and dodge tools are used perfectly here. Truly Axil, a stunning piece.

Just edited to add that this piece feels almost religious to me. Say portraying a modern day saint or apostle.

Something about this really caught my eye. It's very pretty, good job. : )

Axil62 (Feb 26, 2006)

thank you, I like this one too.

thesolarwinds (Feb 26, 2006)

simply stunning. like passion and anger mixed into this fire.

Sweetcell (edited Feb 28, 2006)

I see love, it's burning, bright as anger, or as deep as passion. You are so the guy.

I had a dream long ago with Freddie Kruger as a math teacher on a space station. We were in the classroom and I couldn't get a problem (bad at math) so i called him over to help. He was bent over me going through the problem when I looked out of the large bay wall to wall windows and saw something coming towards the station from deep space. I asked him what it could be and the whole class ran up to the windows, Freddie then says "It's an invasion." I may have woken up, or the dream swithced, but it was something that stuck with me to this day.

Since we're sharing.

I remember learning about the situation over there is world issues class in grade 11
I don't think I realized at the time to what extent things were going on over there.

I watched Hotel Rwanda a few months ago and I actually cried at the end when I thought about the whole situation.
I know its not the only place something like this has happened, but its sad

Warm. I like to paint with a palette knife, then you can touch the painting later and feel your strokes.

Axil62 (Feb 23, 2006)

yeah, or you can look at a reflection of a painting in a butter knife and then later, touch yourself and feel your strokes....

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 23, 2006)

that, I did not know

Sweetcell (Feb 28, 2006)

LOL..... stunner Axil. The painting I mean.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

Excel_Ichigo (edited Feb 20, 2006)

The sky is very nicely done, but I believe another tower or two would make the castle look more realistic. Not that /you/ need any help. :P

Axil62 (Feb 22, 2006)

this needs more 2draw attention. The liquid sky is marvy!

If I comment on this now it'll look like I only did it because you commented on my cars pic, which isn't why I am, so I better not say how good this looks and that it looks like wet pewter.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 21, 2006)

this gets more than "noticed"... it gets admired.

sincity (Feb 21, 2006)

What Axil and Cindy said. Yeah. :}

Kraisa (Feb 22, 2006)

This is coming along wonderfully. I really like the color...and the floor actually. It looks real...and the color...I think I need to use it on something....
