exploring Jacob`s ladder

mx (May 28, 2004)

This is a very loose approach that i tried. I tried to emphasise certain parts of version one, whilst keeping the loose effect. Would appreciate some comments ;)
go well all

Thanks you guys for the comments.
Shmoopy: thanks for your words+ compliment (its not new-age influenced at all though(dreams may often seam like new-age, but this is not :) )
davincipop: thanks, i intended it to go high- i was caught in two minds: van Gogh or some other artist i know personally)
Aubrey...You noticed something that i wondered if people will notice or wonder about it. I knew that the angle was wrong quite late in the painting. It didnt bug me enough to change it. I suppose it adds to the "difficulty" of climbing this ladder in life at times. I guess i`ll keep it like that for now, but i guess i shuold have been more specific with the approach of climbing, or have gone the other route(correct angle and easy climbing). Well noticed.
thanks supergurl :)
Go well all.

I really like this, mx. :D Great job and nice style

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 2, 2004)

Was just checking out your gallery, and this one is my favorite. I did notice the body's angle in relation to the ladder, and I wondered about it... briefly...makes it look to me slightly like this is a tunnel at an angle and not like a straight down well, but it isn't off enough to detract from the effect you were trying to get across so really doesn't matter. I love the feeling it gives me to look at it.

mx (Jul 8, 2004)

Thanks deadlyblonde:)
Is this artwork too seperate from my other style of artworks though?
Do you think my work looks like its done by the same artist, or is each artwork too individual causing me to be "undiscovered" in my own style?

i cant view or delete this freakin picture...*sob*

mx (May 31, 2004)

these pics might not view(freaking internet connection might have made me lose an hours work)
go well

The annunciation of Samson

mx (Jul 6, 2004)

Judges 13

The Birth of Samson

1 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD , so the LORD delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
2 A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was sterile and remained childless. 3 The angel of the LORD appeared to her and said, "You are sterile and childless, but you are going to conceive and have a son. 4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean, 5 because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines."
6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, "A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel of God, very awesome. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't tell me his name. 7 But he said to me, 'You will conceive and give birth to a son. Now then, drink no wine or other fermented drink and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth until the day of his death.' "
8 Then Manoah prayed to the LORD : "O LORD , I beg you, let the man of God you sent to us come again to teach us how to bring up the boy who is to be born."
9 God heard Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was out in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her. 10 The woman hurried to tell her husband, "He's here! The man who appeared to me the other day!"
11 Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he said, "Are you the one who talked to my wife?"
"I am," he said.
12 So Manoah asked him, "When your words are fulfilled, what is to be the rule for the boy's life and work?"
13 The angel of the LORD answered, "Your wife must do all that I have told her. 14 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her."
15 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD , "We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat for you."
16 The angel of the LORD replied, "Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD ." (Manoah did not realize that it was the angel of the LORD .)
17 Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the LORD , "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?"
18 He replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding. [1] " 19 Then Manoah took a young goat, together with the grain offering, and sacrificed it on a rock to the LORD . And the LORD did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched: 20 As the flame blazed up from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame. Seeing this, Manoah and his wife fell with their faces to the ground. 21 When the angel of the LORD did not show himself again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized that it was the angel of the LORD .
22 "We are doomed to die!" he said to his wife. "We have seen God!"
23 But his wife answered, "If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things or now told us this."
24 The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew and the LORD blessed him, 25 and the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him while he was in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

I know what you mean! I really like how the light in the background brings this figure forward... nice job :)

davincipoppalag (Jul 6, 2004)

I have that problem too. The hands just won't make what the brain imagines. I like the backlighting too, it gives the feel of people sitting in a firelit cave.

Rosemary (Jul 7, 2004)

great draw...love both versions!

Greeeen sleeves was all my joy...you know that's a sad song-but this is a nice picture I like the positioning of his head and how her hair follows nicely

DMV (Jun 22, 2004)

Another awesome drawing Rosemary:)

debem (Jun 22, 2004)

Lovely work, Rosemary. Your choice of colors and the fine detailing are exquisite!

mx (Jul 7, 2004)

cool:)
I like the light dark contrast uve used...It also reminds me of the femme fatal-ish work of Rosetti

go well

Black and White Shoulder

Gigge (Jun 11, 2004)

I found an old sketch book from 6th or 7th grade. It looks like the last thing I was working on was cloth. So, I decided to try again. I think the contrast of the folds here may be a bit sharp, giving the cloth an upolstry feel rather than cotton or silk, or polyester or whatever it actually is. Things I learned this draw.....patience pays off and rather strange for a black and white draw, that right clicking acts as an eyedropper tool. Go figure.

lp_phaery (Jun 11, 2004)

I like it.....i agree its really realistic looking. Detail is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

mx (Jul 7, 2004)

Very nice...
I like the fact that you gave it an "aware" unfinished look...i.e, you knew when to stop when it was looking good:)

go well

Gigge (Jul 7, 2004)

Wow, you are browsing way back. And, giving me too much credit. I cut this piece out of a magazine 15 or so years ago. That's all there was to the clipping, no more to copy. ;)

LovelyLori (Jul 7, 2004)

wow... awesome!

Osama

misterjimsan (Jul 5, 2004)

from the movie called osama, made in afghanistan, set in taliban era, a girl must disguise herself as a boy to get work and support her mother and grandmother. based on a true story i believe...and a sad one

I'm so glad I told you about this site. We need more serious artistic pictures like this here. Beautiful.

misterjimsan (Jul 6, 2004)

heh, thank you, and i'm glad you told me about this site, too.

damnskippytakn-a-break (Jul 6, 2004)

Breathtaking! I would love to work side by side with you! I am feeling inadequate right now, rethinking this medium.

mx (Jul 6, 2004)

I hate to admit it, but i was wrong:)
You actually improved the artwork without leaving it as unfinished...so much so that i dont think my advice will help cause it is clear that you know what your doing and should be in the advanced section...
Yet again it looks great unfinished, but i guess youll be able to improve it even more

go well

mx:)

I like the face. You've done a very good job on the expression and the shading. I have an Aiptek pen and use XP... seems to work okay for me but I've never tried any other kinds.

Chantilly (Jul 6, 2004)

I think it's finished! Well, lets just say it is, and I'll leave it at that. My paintings are never finished, I don't think I have a finished one yet. All comments, good or bad are welcome

emmamommalag (Jul 6, 2004)

I love the bright colors and the designs on her clothing. I know what you mean about 'never finished.' On mine, there's always something I want to go back and tweak.

Gigge (Jul 7, 2004)

Very nice, Chantilly. Great expression. Pretty colors. And...it gets easier. I'm new here too, but already there's a big improvement in my ability to wield the tools. I'm sure you'll experience the same thing as you continue to draw. Good job on this pic. Now, go finish the Koi!
