[platypusStar]

Here's something I'm working on for an upcoming exhibit in my hometown. It's still in progress, and my first piece posted on the site. Of course, critiques and comments welcome and wanted.

I was originally was planning on the figure to be black and white, but as I progressed I'm thinking of possibly illiminating the white, however, it wouldn't read too well on the right side, so I may proceed with adding the white.

Thanks for any comments.

Well, I tired fixing it, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with the IMG option.

Well, here's a link. Sorry, I know people hate links, but it appears I have no other options right now.

Im reminded of , hmmm, morten harkett, was it, from norwegian popgrupp Aha. :D

Looks nice. :D Maybe the blue needs a little more texture to it?

uh, the image not showing may be that directlinking of images is not allowed on geicities? Theres a few tricks/workarounds thats said to work, but they dont for me. My advice is to find a webbplace that allows directlinking (easier said than done, though...) :)

Well, anatomy is not what it should be in reality. Body seems twisted, warped.
The whole thing has a transparent look. The heads floats off due to the total lack of white. The shadows on the left side of the face distort the face. For art, its ok. If you have no urge to get closer to reality. And if the boy´ll be alone I suggest a crop of canvas. Maybe even cutting off part off the boy.

But hey, one can´t argue about taste, eh?
