@shults: honestly the comment I think back to the most.
It's cool to think that a painting can make someone tear up for a moment, especially since I never experienced it. Music is a stronger medium to me...I wonder why.

Nice to know.. :) It's not too often that sight amazes me in a good way, but it happened before, that I was so amazed and excited by a piece of art that I teared (it happened in museums, here, and by 'natural pieces of art' like the first time I saw a whale).

It's like a puzzle that I want to keep taking apart and putting back together again...and...it's beautiful!

thank you

It's very nice lori :)

thank you shults :)

He likes you too

Cute bluefer :)

:o)thanks Helena

ha ha, darling elephant!good luck?

yeah my friend said baby elephants holding their trunks up is good luck and of course a horseshoe is good luck too.. so she asked me to draw this for her

Great work

if I had to draw the two angels that I saw at my bedside when I was really sick with pneumonia, they would look like this, only more concerned looking... but they were this heavenly blue color.. it was so weird... I've often thought about drawing them but didn't think I could do it

reminds me of old magazine illustrations, or cartooning style, with that foreshortening effect.maybe it's the face and nose,too.but very much drowning effect, alright,and reminded me instantly of Michelle Pfieffer (?spelling) movie where her husband has killed,drowned his other wife.

this is particularly a difficult type of scene to depict.from films, & photos of a body, & face drowning,the light diffusion from above, thru the water,can be tricky, & have strange effects, shadows that are hard to predict.

while this is good,(yes, very nice blue)I myself would want to use a real photo,film,or even a model somehow to see how the depth of water,clearness,ect., affects the overall picture. (we have had artists, here, who did some very good depictions of bodies submerged, and i don't know how they did it;it's hard.) so, yes, pretty good and ambitious. If you're still interested, there are movies with drowning,or deepwater scenes of bodies worth studying.any experiences from life, swimming, diving, or just underwater could be helpful.(quite a coup you got marcello to comment.:) ) yep, this is a particularly difficult type of scene to paint; i think it's good. (sorry if I seem too analytical, i'm used to being that way on myself.)

It looks like stickmen but it says sin city eh

:}

yeah, pretty good; i thought the red was a tattoo,yep.i especially like the job of the hair, texture you got.altogether, nice style .i'd hate to meet him in a dark alley, brrr!! :)

Ha bout time Mike
