Hi Daggers — long time no see.
---------------------
Zvarthav: Thanks so much for your positive feedback on the 'Almost Home' and 'Model C - Breakdown' — glad you like 'em.
I understand you are both a beginner artist and somewhat new to the forum (and come across as a young-in) so I'll offer what I hope is a gentle critique about your the rest of your critique:
The Cave Man image you reference was in my FIRST post when I first signed up here SEVEN pages, 150 or so of my original character concepts, and FIVE YEARS ago. You just repeated what Fedodika wrote — which I answered completely and immediately after his post. So there's nothing more I need to say regarding that.
I will say though that you need to learn the language of art. What you wrote is the equivalent of a restaurant review about a meal you were served FIVE years ago that was yucky and just ewww and then linking to a recipe/restaurant you like better. It's pointless.
So until you learn the language of art and grow a lot more as an artist I ask you — please don't post any more comments here. Thanks
--------------------------
smrr: Thank you so much! Odd World hadn't come across my radar and I checked it out. Cool schtuff! I LOVE what you're doing so really appreciate your kind words.
Thanks again!
-------------------------
So here's some new and old art. I'll start with one I finished earlier this month but had some internet issues that have kept me off-line.
Ever heard the phrase: 'You can't stop a bird from flying over your head — but you can keep it from making a nest in your hair'?
---------------------------------
Here's the old sketch — I think from 2019 or so:
In 2019 I watched all the Boris Karloff 'Frankenstein' movies and sketched a weary 'Frank' coming home from a long day at work and just got around to painting that sketch and adding an appropriate back-ground.
Same pic with values pushed (I'll delete one after I check them out on another monitor):
Here's the 2019 sketch though I think my painting lost some of the personality of that pencil.
BTW — If you enjoy old B&W noir I suggest your check out The invisible Man, The Werewolf (with Lon Chaney Jr), and the first Frankenstein — masterpieces in my book.
-------------------
Here's a WIP I just started:
An' some older stuff I haven't shared here yet:
'Alvin the Barbarian' (from 2017) — worked up from a photo study — but today I'd not worry about including his junk. : )
And another from 2017 — I used Bing translate for the Japanese — so I hope it doesn't just end up being nonsense.
And a photo I took on our recent long-horn bunny drive.
That's it for me. Thanks for looking in.
Ciao Daggers!
