so no thoughts on it?

[koof]

cool sketches. keep on posting. for the fishy people pic, the one you dightally colored partially, did you use soft brushes? Try using hard brushes and don't blend a lot. also, you should do some anatomy and figure studies. it'll help with drawing humans.

and here is a drawing i did for my portfolio for SVA

[Dr.Blindsy]

*lol* Either I'm going CRAZY or I only see one pic actually displaying. Given that most people are saying they can see 'em, I will assume the first option.
Anyway, for the last picture, the one you did for your portfolio, the shading and tones are incredible. The attention to detail staggering.
I think something like that might make my eyes burn out of my head. Fantastic work, and I hate I can't see the others :)

[Darkmin]

any thoughts?

[Dr.Blindsy]

Poked thru the stuff you sent me. Its a very good start with lots of potential, just keep practicing and keep posting!
