Beautiful red. It is a change from your usual style, but I like it. I especially like how you colored the ground. Very nice!

Awesome concept! I really love the colors, the shading, and the concept! They blend well together! But, I think that the arm and the face could be worked on a little bit more. The symmetry seems a bit off with those two portions of the body. Anyways Keep up the awesome work John!

This looks awesome..
Apart the face, that looks somewhat strange and not really fitting with the rest of the body ( to me), I love the concept, the colours and the way everything turned out.. The watch.. is it twelve hours, or the usual 13? Well, it looks like 12.. but I might be wrong..

I like how the colors set a sober mood to this. A very set, almost... I don't know quiet. Regardless of the spirits here, but I think. Maybe it would have been more dramatic had her eyes been open though.
Hmm, just my thought though. Like the concept though.

I like the drawing, it rocks. But no offense, Rammstein suck. My best friend loves them. I can't see why. They don't even sing in English and the lyrics translated are like the same thing over and over again and its a really simply sentence. A bit lame.
I haven't seem the Cell, but it sounds awesome. What's it about?

Hey man just got back from like 2 week vacation to England and France. Nice work here. Yeah its more simple and less dark than usual but i still realy like it. I love seeing artists tackle styles that they do not usually do. My favorite parts are the design on the fabric at the bottom and the somewhat reversed drawing style of the ghostly figures in the background...nice work

Interesting concept. I'm not sure I like the girl's face, the expression looks kinda clumsy, but the overall composition is fantastic.

As you said not your usual style, just goes to show you can break away & still do a great job.

I like this a lot, and you're right it is a lot different from your regular composition. Something about the red strands floating from the clock really catches my eye, it goes nicely with the gold edges on the larger part of her garmet.

kbrandt [2006-12-27 22:30:52 +0000 UTC]
Interestingly, this piece looks totally different to your previous works, but you're still using same colours and same style. Those ghostly figures behind are a bit of exception.
Very nicely composed.
And the clock! Is it me, or are you putting a lot of clocks into your works?

RayaWolfsun [2006-12-27 21:48:25 +0000 UTC]
Oh wow, I like how this turned out!
The composition really works, especially in the tendrils of fabric and the negative space. Nice use of contrasting textures, too (I love how the red fabric looks so soft, but her skin has a certain roughness). And, as always in your work, the selective application of colour draws makes for a layered and eye-catching piece.

Love it. And I love The Cell. Vincent D'Onofrio is phenomenal in the role as Starger. I absolutely loved him. The costuming and set design were amazing, too.
