Varoom... Like the angle on this one and the way you did the tires makes it feel like it's really moving.

damn this is awesome. i like the old car posters, they make me laugh and wonder what they were thinking :) gj

awesome

Yeah, I saw that too, Marcello.But I figured someone else would bring that up anyways, so I wouldn't bother mentioning it^^;.But other than that, I don't see any really obvious problems.

oh very nice. i love the little 'bang' at the bottom. colors are awesome too. nice.

I'm guessing Fantastic by Method_3 was your inspiration then? Haha this is very nice-the sword is a lil weird but I love the brightness of his red sash and the lil bit of green that contrasts the darker colors of his cloths and skin-the circles under his eyes make him look mad and tired-I would not want to get in his way

But, Axil...., I wasn't joking..... ;)

I also have a dog, who is such a beautiful dog! She is a Great Dane and I love her to pieces(I chop her up and cook her all the time!) OMG yes ^O^ Now after seeing Axil's glass drawllllling I must indeed draw the wuff-wuff to follow up the meow-meow, if you catch my drift(drifting ever so slowly down a river somewhere)

oh yeah and thanks everybody, if there is anything you have to say....

ooo I kinda like this-its very modern artish...butt the shading on the nose bugs me a lil but I like the colors you used. Sheesh all these non-cat people-how sad, cats rock you poor people are just deprived, don't get me wrong I love puppies too but cats are my babies! *eeeeeeeee* *stands between DBA and a cat she is about to shoot*

You could still go to one of those schools, ya know.

I'm thirsty now, you big meanie. XP I'll just have to sit hear and die of thirst. *makes an attempt to stand and go to kitchen* Nope, I'm definitely going to have to die of thirst.

this is great.Klimt is really awesome. One of my favorite artist. I like the way you added you're own spunk to this pic. Very vivid colors.

i love you..

you people got some serious art genes in your family... this is cool

<melts> Excuse me, I'm moving into your pictures. At least when I'm having dental work... ...I have favourite mental places I go when they're working on my teeth (I don't tolerate local anaesthetics, so I *have* to use those sorts of techniques...), and your pictures have now become the first paintings (by *any* artist) to make the list. You may take that as the high compliment that it is, and well-earned, at that, Cindy. <smiles with sincere admiration>

I've never looked out from the Mesa Verde ruins at sunset (those ladders are scary enough in daytime, and that's BEFORE I became acrophobic), but this looks just like the kind of thing I'd expect to see, so you've got the feel you describe, dead on, with this picture. *impressed smile*

I hope there are more pieces of this type coming... ...and at this rate, I may have to ask you if I can save some to my hard drive, as I'm not sure I can stand to part with them! *wistful grin*

On the useful suggestion side of things, I thought you might like to think about using a glow similar to the one you used on the horse and cowboy, to edge the ruins (should you work on this further locally, or do more pieces like this, since I see that this one is marked as "finished"), and give an indication of the light pouring up and over their edge, from the sunset, because I think it would have that same almost magical effect that it did in the cowboy picture.

And, as an extremely minor detail, there's a stone that appears to be sticking out toward us, about 3 rows below the bottom of the window on the viewer's left, beneath the middle of the window, which gives me the feeling that it's about to pop right out of the wall toward me, and cause the window to cave in. It could be intentional, it might not, and it's perfectly believable either way, but it gives me a loss of the feeling of tranquility that this piece otherwise conveys, and instead creates a sense of dramatic tension, as though something in me is waiting for the remainder of the wall and window arch to collapse. I thought you might want to play with that, in future works, since your paintings tend to have a very emotional impact on the viewer (to judge from my own response and that of others), making that emotional effect into one more tool in your palette, so to speak.

P.S. to thug: Cindy is not alone in putting in 3-5 hours at a stretch on a single piece of artwork; I do it too, (and though I don't compare my work to hers, so do many of the *other* artists whose work I like) and that's not allowing for interruptions. How did you think that her pieces got so good, anyway? *grin* Good artists aren't *necessarily* speed demons (though they can be); what makes a good artist, IMHO, is that they're just good at being expressive, whatever their medium of choice, regardless of how long it takes them -- which is reassuring to those of us who take longer on our own pieces, even when we aren't at Cindy's skill level. :)

I hope this comment has been useful, and not *too* long, this time... *worried look* I tried to cut out anything not directly related to *this* picture. I don't see anything left I can leave out.

About 5 hrs in one sitting is an avg. for me here... some I worked on for 8 or more at once, because they usually take up so much space that I can't get back in to edit w/out asking for more space.

Gee, thanks alwayslearning... maybe you should have a job as a writer? lol And yeah, the rocks that appear to be about to come out are intentional... these things are barely standing as it is and crumbling as we speak. I'm so glad that someone recieves the feeling I try to impart when I paint (or draw). That's what makes it satisfying. This place has inspired me to bust my real paint out again.

you always do the coolest skies. :)

yea ..what mizz dixie said!

these silhouettes are fine, hope to see more!

this is very pretty and graphic-designy looking! i like it! the only thing i would say is if you're gonna blur the whole pic, make sure that you get all the little spots. it looks just a tad bit odd. its no big deal, though. nice job! ^____^

This is so friggin sweet-first its an awsome concept and second that's like a totally cool way to portray it-I love it-finish soon!

I have been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Excellent idea for a drawing, I love the straw and cup with the slurpy. You know when you suck out the juice and the ice whitens and then it is hard to get the rest because it lost its liquidity(hope that's a real word)? One of my friends called this slurpy phenomenon polarization. Just a bit of slurpy terminology for all the sluppy fans out there.

hah! i remember! there was an old movie poster had a similar image to this... i knew i had it in my head from somewhere. anyway...thanks for the compliments. sigh. im so content. i'm smart enuff not to take a huge gulp of anything that cold OUCH! burnt my tongue on this darn hot coffee! }:(
