piękne
tło zrobione jest genialnie, a te "tańczące liście" dają niesamowity efekt.
naprawdę bardzo dobra praca

I absolutely adore this piece. It speaks so loudly of so many different things, and none of which I seem capable of naming at the moment, haha. Love it <3

I love the details and lines in this. The jeans and the shirt look awesome. I love how you can almost feel the wind there. Well done.
I love the lines as the grass. Not too obvious, but it makes a nice extra touch.
Colors are great, and I'm totally loving the leafs. Must've took you ages!

Overall it's a great piece of art

OooooH, wieeeetrznieeee!
Nie, na serio...dobrze, że się w porę zorientowałam, bo zaczęłam produkować jakieś wypociny po angielsku...
Spokojne, delikatne, lekkie, nostalgiczne i bardzo przjemne dla oka...I wiesz co? Ja bym skoczyła...z przeświadczeniem, że uniosę się w powietrzu...

No i ten tytuł...

Ro-BAWT [2007-05-23 02:14:35 +0000 UTC]

I absolutely adore this piece

I feel as everything as a whole in this piece comes together very harmoniously.
With the concept of standing still there is so much movement within the work. The leaves especially but also the rays of sun and the clouds add movement.
I feel as the quicker lines in the grass, the figures pants and the smudges in the clouds add to an intensity within the atmosphere.
I also really like how even though the figure is small you can see how much feeling is conveyed.

The quick strokes combined with the movement in the air and the small 'unimportant' being seems to all come together and create almost chaos. It makes me think that the figure's mind is jumping all over the place trying to collect logical thoughts has he looks down off the end of the world.

A very nice piece of work, thank-you for sharing it

aphreall [2007-04-12 08:51:31 +0000 UTC]

Once again, very neat.

Something about the grass/cliff face looks a little funky, maybe it's too dark?
I really don't know.
But the sky more than makes up for it, you have an almost pastels feel, and something about the slightly dingy looking clouds adds an amazing amount of atmosphere.

EBelacqua [2007-04-06 07:12:32 +0000 UTC]

Ok this is awsome. I love the way that he is 'standing still' yet there is so much movement around him. And the thick strokes of the grass in contrast to the fluffy clouds is a great effect. This picture looks like there is a story behind it. Great work. I like it very much.

XxMurderdollxX [2007-04-05 18:54:54 +0000 UTC]

it has a very monumental feeling because of the scenery around him, yet a very suicidal mood IMO... me likey a lot!

Psicoor [2007-04-03 21:45:55 +0000 UTC]

Wow that is really awsome, I do especially like the leaves flying around like that and the sun glooming behind the clouds, looks really realitic.

What program did you use for that one, or is it traditional art?

No, it's digital. I used open canvas for sketch and photoshop for colouring.

Stone100 [2007-04-03 20:02:10 +0000 UTC]

This picture is really cool. I like it! The clouds in the background are really nice, and the leaves coming up from the bottom are very neat. It reminds me a lot of The Fool card, from my RWS Tarot deck [link]
Don't know if that's what you were aiming for though

I wanted to show an open space, how vunerable is human in comparison to forces of nature. Or something like that I'm not sure if I made it.

the-Abysmal [2007-04-02 18:22:33 +0000 UTC]

I think the leaves are perfect here, it's incredibly hard to draw them. I like the way you draw with a mixture of perfect and realistic details combined with rougher lines (the grass, for instance). It makes the picture look a bit like a fairy tale and very beautiful and unique. Sometimes artists overdo the perfection when they try to be realistic and all the natural "handwriting" suffers from that. The colours are very well chosen, the only thing I find sad is that the face is so small - however, him being small makes the picture more intensive, and you can still see his expression and the soft attributes of his face. The whole image is very delicate and intimate, I feel somehow gently touched by it but fear to disturb everything... I really like it.

whoa, thanks a lot... people should really do this more often. I'm sorry that I have almost no time to comment on everything I see.
I just hate the thought of people clicking through stuff like this, thinking "wow---- next pic.", without even taking the time to have a look at them. The internet gives you so many things to look at you think you can't get enough, so you never stop to enjoy the moment... kind of sad.

streamline69 In reply to the-Abysmal [2007-04-02 19:34:37 +0000 UTC]

yeah, you're right. Most of people over here are not profesionalists, but it always helps when you know what is wrong with your picture

However, my comments often looks this way "nice colors and atmosphere" or "i really love it". Sometimes I just don't know what to say, and, considering my language skills, if I have something to say I don't know how to do this. But I think that its nice to leave even some words under the piece you really like.
