Oils and acrylics - updated three portraits -

[Antti]

A bunch of paintings that I did during past two or so months. Mostly in oils and acrylics. The last three are all acrylics. All critique would be appreciated.

Beautiful stuff :D

A quick (but somewhat subjective) composition crit on the first one: IMO I think the 'voice graphic' has to break out of the sillouette of the jacket on it's appraoch to the mouth, since it took me a little while to figure out it wasn't part of the garment.

[JesArt]

I love your style man, give me more

[Haxxxor]

wow!
I love them...
great values and mood.

I like the dude on the bicycle.

[natethegrate]

really like the one with the sombreroed skullmen... cool strokes and colors

[agreeable]

loving 'paatonWeb' - partly due to subject but just a great image too.

[Wisteria]

Looks great! I love the figure coming out of the matrioshka doll, very creative. I agree with Jason Rainville's comment about the first piece, I didn't realize the swirls weren't part of the figure's jacket.

Excellent work, I love the last three the most :)
Great textures and colors!

[light]

That last one is incredible, though you should probably try breaking out of that 1 figure composition thing you got going on in all of these.

[rinaswan]

Love the matrioshka doll, the astronaut, Dali's funny moustache, and the cyclist most. They're so exceptional and full of satirical sense. Btw, I think adding one or two figures/objects will change the picture's atmosphere more or less.

I like them all. The astronaut piece I think's wonderful although the last one strikes me as technically the best. A strong Phil Hale influence?

[Antti]

Jason Rainville & Wisteria, You are right about the swirls blending in with the jacket. Thanks for pointing it out.

Baron, I have always liked mr Hales works but I was kinda aiming for style similiar to nicolas' with the last one. I guess I failed :)

light and rinaswan, yep, I should get more objects in my paintings. And backgrounds wouldn't hurt either. I am working on that though. Thanks.

Thanks for all feedback dudes & dudettes.

I just got these three back home so I thought I'd post them too. All oil.
