Hello TereKoi!

Member of Team 21 here to give you Feedback within the challenge

The details in this one are really awesome again I love your style and I really wish I had your patience to do something like this.
I think it could take hours to spot every little wonder you added to this picture.

Since there is nothing in this work I think is wrong I can't give you any suggestions ^^
So I just want to say please keep up working on this little clock-guy! It's a really interesting character and I would love to see more of him.

Fantastic work!
Greetings Selunia

Hi there! I'm here to bring you this critique as a part of 's event

I just want to say that this definitely made my jaw drop The DETAILS in here....AJSFHLJKADHKL absolutely incredible I love how this is a completely original piece yet can contain so many details without any reference at all. Even though it's black and white, I get a nice and well..."sunflower-y" feeling from this piece and I smiled just from looking at it (clockman is a great idea XD)

Just a few minor suggestions on how to bring this deviation up another notch:

¤ 1) Impact: This is a very beautiful piece of art that has a wonderfully large amount of details; actually, maybe a little TOO much. After first eye-zoning into the clockman and the daisy, I wasn't really sure WHERE to look at afterwards. There's just so many things in this piece and without enough contrast (some parts darker, such as the clockman, and some parts light) it's too hard to focus and see everything. Maybe making some shadows darker/near black would help them stand out a little more.

¤ 2) Composition: This kinda relates to the impact thing and how the picture is a little too busy...compared to the bottom, the top is relatively empty. It might be to place more attention on the bottom (which certainly is where the theme is) but it offsets it too much. Maybe you could have added a cloud or two, or maybe the sun, just to make things a little more equal.Another point of the composition would be that although you placed some birds on the left side, it isn't enough to equal out the huge daisy on the right. I'd suggest moving the dragonfly (it IS a dragonfly yes? Or uh...that thing with wings?) up a little to help with the balance.

And well, that's about it, cuz this picture is pretty perfect as far as things go. I can't fathom how much hard work (and tears? Cuz I certainly would've had them) went into this piece. Congratulations on creating such a stunning piece of artwork and I hope this critique helps with your future works!

Hey there, it's me again from #FeedbackFrenzy !

This is another excellently drawn image with an immense amount of detail. The foreground is very busy and I agree that it's difficult to make out a lot of the elements near the bottom of the image. Just going in and darkening the grass between elements, particularly those that you want to stand out the most, would help a lot. As I mentioned in my previous comment on "Father Time", the objects furthest from the viewer should be much lighter. In this piece, the three things that attract my attention the most are the building silhouettes, the birds, and the clock guy's face because these areas have the highest contrast in the image. The buildings in the back also split the composition almost perfectly in half which creates a rather static composition. If the values were distributed differently, you could have a nice sweeping diagonal motion from the sunflower, through the clock guy, and down to some element in the bottom left. But again, it's beautifully drawn with excellent craftsmanship and must be just gorgeous in real life.

hi! i'm here with

i like what i originally saw in this piece - the sunflower, the clock man, the city, the birds. the thing all these have in common is that they're nearer the top of the picture. i'm pointing this out because near the bottom of the picture, it gets so busy i can't understand what's there. i can make out some sort of spiky vine, but then i start seeing a cog here and an odd object there, and my eyes are just overwhelmed! my point being that you should keep your work a little simpler. i know it's within your style to add as much as possible, so i'm just telling you my thoughts it's a very interesting piece otherwise; i've never seen anything quite like it. i mean, how many clock men can i see marching through a field with a violin in hand? you definitely have an imagination keep up the good work!

Hello from 's contest! (team 16)

I was browsing through the works and this one immediatly popped out at me.
The details rendered are exquisite... the broken lamppost, the flying keys, the cogs... I especially love the coat details. I think you captured the texture nicely. You take advantage of the organic forms to make something unique.

But onto the critique. Your work is in black and white, which makes value, balance, and contrast very important.

The big daisy on the right sets the picture slightly off balance. When I glance at the picture, the flower draws my attention there to the upper right side of the picture, where there isn't much going on. The black shadows are also a bit uneven. It's almost like a triangle weighed heavier on the right, again, leading us that way.

The pointilism you have scattered about is a terrific form of shading. However, I think the picture gets very busy in the foreground. With all the dots, the background distracts from the subject. Although the background shouldn't be disregarded, the piece should have a more defined focus (perferably in the middle, because the clock man has such a strong presence). It might be partly the style, but I believe the piece would have a greater impact if you added more black lines and white spaces to it.

The violin was an excellent touch (congrats on getting into your orchestra!)
But it lacks contrast that the figure holding it has. The figure itself seems only half in focus, with one arm and leg popping out from the background.
The cityscape silhouette takes away from the defined form of the clock man. I would have liked to see some white space acting as a border between his arm and the shadows, to define the subject a bit more.

All in all, you have a terrific vision and eye for detail. The technique is superb as well. But with more consideration for object placement and value as a whole, your work will be better.

This is a wonderfully whimsicle piece, thanks for sharing!

Hey there! Found this from #feedbackfrenzy
Awesome work, must have taken a while to do in pointilism. Especially to distinguish foreground midground
and background smoothly with so many little details. I think in some places, particularily in the forground, a
bit more variation in line weight could help draw the space out even further.
I like the stark white background as well and think that the birds help to balance it well. It all makes an interesting
play with positive and negative space. I think the bird on the far right might be crowding a bit too close to the
flower, but that could just be me.
