amazing, one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen, seriously
14"x16", how big would that be in the metric system, or if you don't know, compare it to something, if you want

Your imagination is obviously a very fertile and beautiful one and you seem so skilled at manifesting it on to paper.

this is one of the most amazing works in color pencil i've ever seen, your use of color is just amazing. i've done things similar, but now where near this size or with this much skill, very very cool, inspires me to continue to work with color pencils

When ever I look at your work I simply cannot believe it is pencil. It is so fluent, it flowes from one shape to another from one colour to another. The amount of the detail is simply to say it obscene. I like how you have tried to paint your soul, actually all your peices are self exploration on the way, you leave your soul bare for the world to see. Since I am mathematician I will have to say that your work reminds me of fractals, random in nature, still beautiful, when you look at it whole you notice that there is a point, there is a greater creation.Well done (:

Just beautiful. You're art is an inspiration. I can appreciate your art for so many different reasons. It is so different from my own art and creative process. It really amazes me. Like reading really good philosophy, viewing your art challenges my mind to think in new ways. You must be very dedicated to spend so much time on so much detail.

I think with the right know-how, something like that could be done quite quickly on a computer, but to draw it shows such real talent - for which im much more appreciative. Lovely.

how long do these take you?
and do you just completely freelstyle the overshape? or is there actual thought put into it?
simply amazing

strohat In reply to ciircle [2004-02-16 01:18:15 +0000 UTC]
This one took about 3 months to finish while working full time. I add that so people don't think I spent 8 hours a day drawing, my hand couldn't take it! Yes, this was comletely freestyle, even to the point of just randomly picking colors and going with it.

It's really cool that you are doing all this with colored pencils. How large are they (in general) in real life? You know, when you scan them in?

strohat In reply to leeluxero [2004-02-28 22:48:09 +0000 UTC]
well this one's about 14x16 inches, I'm doing more 8x11 since to keep me sane though.
