the "when red means go" analogy

we arrive at many intersections in the road of life
at almost every intersection there are traffic lights to help guide us in the right direction
sometimes the light is green for us to go
sometimes the light is yellow for us to use caution
sometimes the light is red for us to stop
some lights are always red and should never be crossed

but sometimes we have to cross red lights to move forward in life
using our eyes and intelligence, we can avoid accidents and/or punishment
unfortunately, some people sit at red lights all their life and never move forward

we all have our own brain and our own pair of eyes, they assist us in our free will to make choices in life
sometimes it's better to rely on what we see and not what we're told to see

I am always a fan of the shape building you do with color.

The phalanx

DarkCloak (Feb 9, 2007)

The Phalanx hit the Persian Infantry line, but instead of the usual thunder clap of steel hitting steel, there was a harsh, drawn out snapping sound. The line was hit with such force that the Persian's wicker shields, useful in entangling an attacker's spear, burst apart and disintergrated under the press of Greek bronze. Persian archers desperately shot point blank into the advancing hoplites, but could not penetrate their heavy armor. The Greek Phalanx was unstoppable.

Hehe, this is quite comical.
Watching the animation sure was a treat. The orange looked nice. =)

The circleface makes me think she just wants to be penetrated. I'd probably stab myself if I was made of soap/in a soap too. Dig the knife/knees and wings.

These kinds of pictures, if I saw them in a gallery would make me stop and look at it closer and wonder what the artist was thinking or seeing when he drew it. I wouldn't wonder that the strokes are loose and messy, in fact it's what makes this picture interesting and alive. The boldness of the red drags you in and makes your eyes move around and see things that you would think wouldn't work (the blobs of paint, the simple strokes on the face, the disjointed body) and you feel somethings being conveyed here but your not sure what. I dunno, I'd say this is one of his better pieces because it makes me think. I imagine seeing this painted on a small wooden canvas.

hideyourface (Feb 8, 2007)

I dont see how somone could think this is bad. Despite the large loose strokes, theres always those subtle bits of colour that really make the lighting stick out, like on the lips. I love this despite that oddly shaped head and lack of a neck.

Missing skill? I think not.. http://cellosoft.com/2draw/view/77822/

Dr.Snoopy (Jan 31, 2007)

Using a ref is not the big deal(relatively)...
When I try to imagine everything on my own it's very hard to get convincing results. (apart from heads and abstract messing)

Nevertheless I appreciate your supporting words!! Always great to read your comments.

davincipoppalag (Jan 31, 2007)

It is to me! I can't do crap without a ref.

Im sure if you study human anat youll have it down in, not fast, but in good time. I like the huge contrast the red imposing character has. SO out of place.
