That is very nice. I like the exxtreme contrast with the reds and green. Sets a very interesting feeling or mood to it.

Good work.

elle est sympa .... j'aime bien ....le trompettiste bien travaillé en haut et bcp plus simple au niveau du pantalon c un truc que j'aime bien :-p et l'utilisation des couleurs aussi

[krayz]

Very cool. Nice colour scheme you chose. I love the way you rendered the guy's head. Good work.

[tegehel]

aaah oui, tres cool. J'aime aussi. I'm thinking the top right area needs something. Something subtle, not to take the focus away from the middle.

I would take that shadow on the bottom right (the darker red) and apply some of it on the top left, to see what it does. Sort of a mirror of that shadow, but with its opacity down. I might look cool and non-intrusive.

Bon boulot! Mr. Betrave (hehe, beet in english)

btw, joli ton site! j'aime beaucoup tes peintures.

I always really dig your work beet. Awesome job. Love the palette.

Great work!
i really think you could be pushing the highlights on this figure also maybe pushing the contrast as well as overall value; The red you are using seems "dirty" to me

[edit: self]
i took it into painter8 and played around with someone of tonal controls and i made the value darker and the saturation higher and it come up with a cool deep purple/blood red feel and another thing i did was just do the correct colors> curve > autoset feature which made the figure a ton whiter and the color a more saturated purple.

Hopefully you don't find my points too opinionated. as it is it's amazing. I just thought a few things could be improved.

much respect

very classy beet, as usual

monsieur sparth: thanksalot :)
davi: might be right about the colors . I sure know my palette is often said to be lacking contrast, but that's mostly how it comes to me. I've produced a few roting potatoes trying to force my colors in a more inyourface direction ... I will keep trying, though. this image was done for a client, I had to kill it quick, no choice but to use a system that I know exactly how to do, within these limits. thanks for the feedback.
foster: ah! yeah i went artsyfartsy, did I ... works with Jazz :) thanks.
IwasInk: thnaks!
tehegel: merci

love the pose, love the outfit, the tie....

beet : Very cool ! There's just perhaps the omnipresence of the magenta in your piece. I would've loved to have this on my wall if it'd been a bit more on the blood red side of things, but that's just personal taste :)
Again, nice !

Chapel : avatar thief ! ;)
