Oh ok, well that's fine then. :)

"I like how the right side looks like she has a man back with a big dent in it! Like her man back side was in a big bar fight one night because this one guy took all the pretzels and one thing lead to another and ole' half man back thought she should get up and do something about it but then the other guy had a friend who usually doesn't come to that bar, no he usually goes to the 4 U lounge, but he went there this time and when ole' half man back stood up he knew he had to have his buddy's back... his buddy was a man so his whole back was a man back, not like this lady's back, but anyway, so he saw ole' half man back get up to do something about something an he slammed her upper right shoulder area with an extra 4 inch lead pipe he happened to be carrying around, not his good one that he had in his coat pocket for something else, but his extra one. So that's what I like about this picture when I look at it."

I'd just like to ask Zack one last question here. Is this what you call, 'formal criticism'? Of course, you could be referring to criticism given to terracotta by people besides Axil. But I'm pretty sure terracotta's posts were in response to Axil. Although, I haven't had 50 yrs of experience myself, I've never heard of giving criticism in 'tell-a-funny-story' form in any of my classes. And I can assure you, if that were the case, I wouldn't waste my money or time on such an unprofessional school.

No. What I was agreeing with Axil about was the issue of sexual abuse re: his cartoon. His critique was informal and absurd. I do not consider the issue of the picture being finished relevant to an analysis of the motivation behind any critique, formal or informal, since critiques on finished pictures are just as legitimate as critiques on works-in-progress.

The absurdity of Axil's comment speaks for itself, and to imply that he was being meanspirited for pointing out flaws in a finished picture demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of the nature of artistic critique in a learning environment. That is to say, Axil may have been meanspirited in his comment (I can't tell), but that has nothing to do with the fact that he was criticizing a finished picture.

I can see that this took time and skilll! I love it, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments.

super clouds and I like the ship too!

I really like the texture of teh scales, and the orange vs. red in the eye was what drew mine.

The colours and texture make it looks more like a thick skinned dragon. Excellent.

I built a model of one of these one time (your looks alot better). I had no idea building models was so difficult *sheesh* by the time I was done there was superglue everywhere.

This is lovely! Great eye. :)

Very nice work on her all together.. I like her hair the most tho, soft yet defined..wd :D

I like it, good job on the eye and lips :)

Very nice realism! I love this :)

Beautiful, clean job. Makes me want to just stare at that hair.

omg poop!

The design is very cool, the wing is a great detail. :)
You should follow Gigandas advice ;)

i like that he doesnt stand out from the background..i think thats why i keep coming back to look at it. to figure out exactly what and where he is within the composition of the piece. although its easy to discern once you look for a moment, its the fact that you have to pause at all that i enjoy. if that makes any sense. probably not.

That makes perfect sense to me, actually, and it explains why I like it. It's sort of like looking out a fuzzed up window in the springtime with raindrops on it.
