Marcello- Gimme? <3
I don't like fighting over this, but I will defend people's rights to draw what they want here, as well as the very concept of homosexuality. You don't know how much I've had to deal with this kind of stuff in real life- I would have liked it not to follow me here. ._.

Hey, look, they are at it again.

exactly, good advice... something to remember... don't be afraid of the "dark" - The light doesn't show without it. (I like how you did the irises of her eyes)

I like those eyes, too. What Marcello said.

Thanks everyone! This is my 2nd attempt at skin tones...I'm better with black and white tones...but I'll definitely follow your advice...

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.

well, I hardly comment on your stuff because I think its strange to comment on my own dads work, but I really think this one is amazing. ^_^

I think it's strange to think that's strange.

I love browsing through your Gallery. I go in to find one thing, and end up finding many other things that are so great, i'm suprised that they havnt caught my eye. You're amazing.

wow! cool picture.
