COCK!

I think it is just lovely. I particularily am drawn to the red areas...love the depth of color and texture. When I look at this I deffinately see the real paint effect. I think though that when you have everything else texturized that the beak may need a little more attention. I don't see this so much as realism, as an expressive color explosion. Just great marcus.

---edit----
By the way I love the first version sketch...its got alot of personality.

This is certainly something different for you Marcus.. very cool!

Just one thing. A dream dog. Nothing special.

People love you there already. I look forward to seeing more of your works.

Refreshing, yessss
great piece

I meant to comment on this before...Looks awesome!

Wow the girls hair is like Gorgeoes ~

Wow....*mouth gaps* I like this.... reminds me of one of the roleplays I'm in. Don't ask. It's a long long story. It's been going on for about 3 months with my friend. Pretty insane.

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

You know what I think Marcus...great color depth, visually pleasing, and brain tickling.
Keep up the good work.

strange and creative, i like the painted look of this.

Yep..it's got a lot of Joeness in it marcus.Very imaginative

Zeppish with a lot of Solvation. Good one Marcus

This makes me think asian and ancient.

Yes, the japanese masks they sometimes wear. Neato.

O.O I Love It!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the way the black in the background kind of drapes over the figure... makes me think of claws.

the face is pwn-tastical ^_^ i love the feel to this picture so abstract and quite sexy :D

delicious. the colors truly are edible..like some evil cotton candy or something. your usual sick meltyness paired with the muscle and bone definition is pretty freaktastic.

I'm glad you have varied up your color palette...it works extremely well for you in this piece. The colors remind me of sunset on a desert. The figure is strong and struggling...I love that you used alot of "verticle" lines...great movement. Keep up the great work.

This turned into something wonderful. What can i say... this is fucking great. *into the favourites folder*

It is a figure but if you look at the thumbnail, it looks like a face. I guess I should have elaborated.

I see a figure bent over forward, and I see a face, too.. really interesting one

Such a neat effect you having going on with this. The bent over humanoid is either pained or very interested in the ants that crawl on the ground and the world around him, but also fearful it seems. Then all of a sudden this aged face appears, and you must question what does life do to you, what does it teach you? What did this man see?
Pain coupled with an energetic orange.

The line work is very smooth, and the muscularity is pleasing.

Interesting my friend...

edit:

Also is he looking at his reflection on the ground? What surface is he on?

I love when you use blue.
Kick ass pic!!!!!!!!!

I...love...this...! The shading is totally hot.

i gotta say your style is unique and wonderful

And I ask you once again, why do they not matter?

You're fortunate.

On another note...this seems somewhat ...I don't know like you didn't give it your all. I do like how in the thumb nail this piece looks very much like splatters of white paint...I almost would like to see you go more abstract, sharp, but abstract. I agree with the others in your great ability to achieve alot with very little.
Rock the casbah marcus...rock the casbah.

lloks like a scratch off, where you paint/fill it blue and use white to carve it off :] muy cool

I would love to see you try the silver surfer in this style. It's wonderful with only a few loose strokes. I must learn to be looser.
