Wow, I loves it, what can I say, you ROCK! Just wondering, how quickly do you go thru colored pencils? I mean, to get the detail, and the rich colors (if you use soft pencils like prisma) you would have to sharpen them constently...

i see stuff like this all the time, i try to trace it down or draw it out, but it never comes of as well as it does here. fucking cool, great use of stuff and whatnot. im just completely blown away and realise i need to surf this place more often.

thanks.

Great color, detail, and concept. You can get lost in this piece there's so much going on in it. Although it lacks any definitive focal point it still manages to work. Very trippy and disorientating to look at. The more my mind tries to make sense of the images the more my head spins.

thanks though.

mike-the-vile [2004-05-18 18:58:37 +0000 UTC]

It looks beautiful though, with such warm, rich colors! This time I see a bucket of the most curious seashells known to mankind, probably from that surreal laguna that you once drew.

I just wanna say that this piece is great.
But mainly i wanna say that you are a great artist.
The reason why you will always get respect and the compliments you deserve is because you really appreciate the comments on your work.
To me it makes me an even bigger an seeing how you have commented back to everyone who commented on your work.
Really great.

i know when i leave a comment it's nice to hear a response, so i just think it's the right thing to do. it's nice to hear you think i'm a great artist, i feel like i still have a long way to go, lots to learn, i'm still teaching myself how to draw i think.

awesome piece, i like the negative space. maybe you were just uninspired, cause subconciously you thought it was finished? who knows, anyway great composition, negative space is good.

not as crisp and clear, yeah, i think it's because i was trying to draw faster on this one.

tarnishedoversoul [2004-05-16 20:29:02 +0000 UTC]

I can see the origins from your other version of fallse start in this- I like what you did with the orange and yellow background. My eye is really drawn to the bottom of the picture where the aquamarine contrasts so nicely with the orange. My only criticizing comment is that I would have put a little more aquamarine and seafoam furthur up in the picture. The purples and shapes make the picture feel a lot different from the bottom.

strohat In reply to tarnishedoversoul [2004-05-16 20:39:39 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i see what you mean. when i started this one i had the idea to only use browns and black. the other colors came to me later. so the blue and green was kind of an afterthought. thanks for the tip though, maybe later i can add a little more to the upper half, i think its funny how some of my other peices look different from top to bottom. something to do with the brain i guess.

tarnishedoversoul In reply to strohat [2004-05-16 20:45:08 +0000 UTC]

I think it could just be a simple distraction- when I start doing something with no idea what I'm doing they evolve a lot as they progress- and when you look from starting point to finish it's kind of boggling.
