even though this picture will probably haunt my dreams tonight it is awesome! I really like it nice job

[Stoat]

I *love* the messed-up perspective! (No, I'm not being a smartass...I love it when somebody screws with classical perspective and makes it look righter than a camera would. It's a rare image).

That thong, however, is going to come back to haunt me...

[Jason Snair]

I agree with Stoat. Excellent use of altered perspective and image composition. By placing all of your horizontal and vertical lines on angles, it tells the viewer that something is not right here and it makes the image even more creepy than just by subject matter alone. Kudos.

[Robert.B]

eeewwww...lol Um one wuick crit with his/her face is that his facial features are all pushed to the front which realy distorts the profile alot.

[mayk]

noshadowmaster - yu're right ;)

update in first post.

[sony]

nicely distorted drag queen n representation of distortion in persp.

[Pavel Sokov]

That last one is beathtaking, great industrial design as well as a solid atmosphere.

All the other works are also great, I especialy enjoy how every picture brings me some elements i havent seen before, you definatly keep it original and unique.

[thirdeye]

Nice stuff mate :) Glad to see you posting here.

[digital_zombie]

Good stuff! I love your use of color and light :D

Is the drag guy pregnant? I havent' seen a hard tummy stick out with such tautness that wasn't preggers....

[PetarB]

The concepts are disturbing. I like 'em!

[Pavel Sokov]

the grandmas are godly, i LOVE them. I love the mafioasa look on the second grandma's face, she looks like she has plenty street cred.

[sourgasm]

The only thing more impressive than the imagination on display here is your ability to meticulously render lighting. Completely crazy.

I like the robo head guy who controls his legs with his arms. Thats one of those ideas that pisses everyone else off because we feel like we should have thought of it ;P

[Annie_Harper]

Lotet - thanks :D

recent stuff:

>.< lol, nice

[Arteater]

Wicked work. you are one twisted dude. talent is not a question.

[mayk]

thanks everybody!! glad to see someone here

last night:

[Kir Nuyts]

That last one is omg brilliant! It s a on a higher level then the rest of your works in this post i think..

Some small pointers: Upper arm looks a tad too small, and the belly beneath that arm looks a bit too big. I am also not sure about the color of the ground/sand but thats more a personal thing: It looks a bit gray/dirty try to bring in more colors maybe (also on the beachbal shadow - saturate it a bit more). Dont forget to make the tire all red (referring to the part above her breasts)

Nevertheless all this little 'mistakes' makes this picture great, so please go over it again, it looks great!!! Since u say u made it last night, maybe thats why u don t notice little flaws in it, you see it more clearer the next day.

Great one , now finnish it! (don t touch the head and the bleu color above her shoulder that is just awesomly amazing!, as is the skintone contrast)

Greetz Kir
ps: hope it helps a bit

[RevoLverZ]

mayk , all I can say is BRILLIANT WORK mate. I love them...

ChoW 115 entry

[d.b.!]

man .... that tree monster with an axe is awesome .... greaaat!

Keep posting yo!

[Baron Impossible]

Some unique imagination you've managed to transfer to "canvas", your pictures have a rare energy lurking somewhere inside them.

The pic in #23 is easily the best although all the others are very accomplished.

My main crit, which applies to almost all your images, is that you tend to leave the level of detail on your main character (or focus) the same as the rest of the image. This leads, IMO, to the piece looking unfinished. This is especially noticable in pic #1.

[mayk]

d.b.! - thanks :)

Baron Impossible - thanks man. agree, sometimes I have little problems with working with details, I'm just little sluggish and impatient, but working on it ;) P.S. your last Uplift challenge entry is, hmm....awesome? great work!

Here's my Uplift and ChoW entries:

[Surion]

Wow! this is all so nice! Very creative.
keep posting!!

[PieterV]

That uplift piece looks fantastic! :eyecandy:

[Baron Impossible]

That last piece is really good. No crits there. You should definitely win something with that.

[oalexis]

ya that last piece is fantastic, great work

[mayk]

Surion, rubbadub, Baron Impossible, oalexis - thanks guys :D Baron, you think ;)?

Some say that we will not to be on time to 2012 :) will see ;)

[Simon Boxer]

Great progress, mayk. You're really churning out the art, and there are visible improvements.

That Uplift entry is awesome. Nice original design, some really good ideas in there.
I dig the posing in your last piece as well, especially the runners and goalie.
Keep it up.

[mayk]

cognition.sb really thanks!

[MoonVisionStudio]

Great stuff, very inspirational!

[Leon Roé]
