    this looks like a cologne advertisement.




    P.S. hey, nightshade! I like your Scorpion but the pose on shang sun (or however the hell you spell it) seems a little flat.

    you ever notice how in cologne advertisements the guy gets the girl but in perfume advertisements the girl doesn't give a crap about anyone.

    Thats cause the girls know they are "all that" and they love to torture the guys.

    seriously, I would settle for a series of well meant hugs at this point.

    I took this pic near the summit of Table Top Mountain. The summit is practically viewless. It is one of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks. The mountain was literally trail-less, and the only way up there was was a skinny little herd path that was washed out by a massive rainstorm the time I climbed the peak. Was my worst climb ever. Guess sometimes you can get the best shots from the most out of the way places at the worst times.

    Females use those as weapons too.

    Hugs are a gateway drug. The effect soon wears off and they leave you begging for more hugs.... But eventually the hugs aren't enough. Your begging for more. And then those females have you right where they want you. Setting you up for the kill. To rip your guts right out.

    At least thats what I um... hear..... ... right.

    on the first painting, his left arm seems to be lacking some anatomy. it's just a little off, but if you look at an arm in that position, and really study it, it think it could be worked (if you chose). also both of his feet barely overlap his wings. one sure way of showing perspective, is overlapping objects. you could overlap this objects more for a greater effect.



    on the second painting, I'm not really sure what you are going for. the composition, I feel is good, but the image seems flat. (which you may not have been trying to achive in the first place.) but if so, you could achive a greater since of depth by adding a middle-background and a more extreme foreground. also, some atmospheric perspective would help as well.

    keep it up, there are some good things happening here.

    Well, as my most measured answer i thank you for the kind words, but my paintings are more about outbursts of emotion than technical details. I have never been classically trained, I just do what I do.
