But..that's a good planet, they have no Walmarts , Costcos, McDonalds, or any of that there. This looks like a big cosmic eye. The gray parts look like the eye socket nd the globe the iris. I like it Donna.

Wanted to play with using a different tool than usual. This is all done with the pen tool on one setting (except for a plain fill BG and some airbrush to shade the stool). Trying for a pencil sketch look.

axil, i specifically said, that i was not making a comment toward you, your marriage, or your cartoon. in fact, i mentioned abuse only in the instance that the advance was unwelcome. to accuse me of insulting her culture seems harsh, but i'll take it. wasn't intended as such. zack, i agree. my comment was a general reaction to the statement, despite the fact i knew it wasn't intended in that way.

i apologize for any harm done by my only semi-related thought.

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.

Zack (Mar 24, 2006)

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.

the streets of Philadelphia

Axil62 (Mar 21, 2006)

I was bruised and battered
And I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
I didn't know my own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia

~Bruce Springsteen~

Experimenting with different techniques of painting - trying to paint more and more loosely with less regard for accuracy and also trying not to use small detail brushes until later. Used a reference with different colors and weaker lights.

Shoot I stuck this image in the wrong section. It was supposed to go in intermediate. I've asked Maiko if it could be moved. Sorry about that.
