Excellent! Really captures the easygoing characteristics and the "baby blue's" of Ben Grimm.
I really liked this one!

Hey, great work on this pic! You do a brilliant job of capturing the "spark" in a picture, and making it look alive. It's an impressive talent, I think.

I really like the work you've done on those fabric folds, they're comic-bookish, but very convincing. The pose and perspective look great, too.

Thanks so much.
I'm flattered you see a "spark". I have no idea how or why...but glad you see it.


Thank you very much.

Well, it's like this- it's easy enough to get the technical parts of a pic down, but the really hard part, from what I've found, is to make a picture feel alive, like it's a snapshot of a real thing. At least, that's how I see it.

He was so cute in the movie!
And he looks just as cute here
And he reminds me a little of Paddington from the Dreamlandchronicles

Ha ha!
Well he did play a big part in my inspiration for Paddington.


Thanks

I love how you work in a great facial expression, even though he's made of rock. Not exactly an easy thing to do, but you make it look that way. Nicely done!

Thanks. He's such a fun character.
Would love to see him in 3D.

Haha! Awesome!!! I like the "private eye" look.
Did you do the rest of the Fantastic 4 too?
