Shadow Bahumet:

The camera image is a vast improvement from your last and I think this image show's your technical abilities more so than the last, it's good to see this piece now as it shows a progression in your work, you really pushed yourself, the lack of defining elements is interesting and the image floats in and out of space. The colouring job is great as well, however something seems unresolved and I dislike the composition also I think you could benefit from taking more time with your textures, I only get a sense of the material you're using and not the material you're representing.

Chaos

Very simple but extremely effective. It has a lot of personal expression in it that I adour. The shadow play and forms intice me, however I feel the image is unblanced and is weighed too heavily on the left side; it's busy and filled with heavy coloured forms. The right side of the image seems more like its the peripheral vision; it's plain and quite unspecial. These inequalities cause the image to lose it's tension and cause the eye to only focus on one side of the image, but I think that when you're working with an image that you've taken the time and effort with you want people to see the whole thing. Cropping may have also been effective. The perspective too leaves me a little discombobulated but in this instance I think it works co-operatively with the imagery and its thought provoking meaning. If you're interested in attaining a more realistic perspective I would highly suggest working with vanishing points and horizons. I really like this a lot though.

You have a great sense of form and detail without giving the impression of tackiness. The line work is a lot more explorative, engagine and challanging than your former piece. It's excellent to see an artist challange themselves. I also like how this piece transcends mere character illustration and seems to harbour a bit of narative in it as well. The eyes are gorgeous. My only qualm would be small details about the figure. The proportions and anatomical "correctness" of the figure could use some attending to. Understanding how the body works on a skeletal and muscular level could probably greatly improve your work. I suggest something like Grey's Anatomy.
