I really dig your style, and the cross hatching, the jewelry, the pose and of course the dots on this one make it really special! The fact that its all 'hand' (no Photoshop dots!) make it even more appealing, at least to me.

The face alone is amazing, the gaudy foreground a great offset to the ghoulish background and she kinda reminds me of someone I know...<BR/><BR/>Also, I love to see the pieces in progress like this.

As for the 'Death' piece, I am completely happy with the final image and stand by my artistic choices:) People will always like or dislike my choices,techniques, and execution but in the end I believe one should always be confident in themselves and never stop trying new things, which I did with this 'Death' piece. Please don't take this the wrong way, I know I'm nowhere near perfect and have alot of growing ahead of me:)<BR/>to Dogboy,<BR/>thnx for the nice words. I used a Radiograph .30 tip pen for all the dots.....Gelatomettistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592763714463189898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11528896.post-61164668478162516462009-01-05T17:06:00.000-08:002009-01-05T17:06:00.000-08:00I think it's a beautiful piece.

My question is, what type of pen/nib did you use to achieve the stippling?<BR/><BR/>Cheersdogboy443https://www.blogger.com/profile/08220151767721898591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11528896.post-4404136355243290222009-01-05T16:56:00.000-08:002009-01-05T16:56:00.000-08:00Nice remix.

It took me a whole semester and I never finished the background.<BR/><BR/>These days the 'stipled' technique can be done so much quicker via Photoshop, and with greater precision too.<BR/><BR/>Couple things I'd like to point out on your piece here. First the redesign is excellent in terms of making the character plausible, unfortunately it doesn't separate her from all the other Goths and wannabes. But again that's not such a bad thing as far as story goes as she's now appears relatable to a wider audience. <BR/><BR/>The art itself has various techniques and mesh fairly well with each other except I think the crosshatching on the skull looks like you not quite sure what you wanted it to achieve. You don't really notice she's sitting on skull unless you focus. I think longer crosshatching lines would've helped itentify it more.<BR/><BR/>2 minor quips, the knees are too angular and sharp, and the boot sole is too exposed for the angle which she's sitting.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind the critique.Craywulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06800223578072560577noreply@blogger.com
