    Picture #1 remains, as you yourself have said before, somewhat incomplete. However, I believe it is this incompleteness that adds to the picture, rather than take away. The fact that there is nothing else to reference your picture to gives it an even more surrealistic feeling than it already has.

    Picture #2 is a more of a solid approach to reality, though surrealism is still seen, as he is standing on a floating chunk of earth. One of the problems with this picture, is tha it's not very dynamic. The pose is somewhat relaxed, and almost boring. This is seen in how his legs are barley bent or spread at all. However, there is some intensity in the picture, in that he is holding his sword as though for battle (though what he's going to battle on that small chunk of earth is beyond me).

    Picture #3. Not so certain I liked this one. The wings were pretty well done, but the body lacks the quality that is seen in your previous works. I can't really explain what it is that makes it so. Wasn't this one of your first drawings of a person? Or maybe I'm confused and this is a later drawing. Oh well. Either way I think that it could be improved upon if you were to redraw it.

    Picture #4. Ahh. The ultimate surrealism. Arms taking the place of where fingers should be on another arm. If one wished to, this process could go on forever. Just constantly each new arm sprouting five more for fingers. I think that the quality is superb and the surrealism is so blatant in the artwork, and yet at the same time it's so subtle. The first time I looked at this particular piece of yours, I didn't notice the arms until you pointed them out to me. It's just something the mind doesn't register, and yet the whole time it knows it's there. Very well done.

    I love your style of drawing so much. It's got a really haunting feel to it.

    Uh...holy crap. Those are quite amazing.

    You make me want to go buy an ink refill and get back into ink over pencil.

    Wow, your really good! Your style reminds me of Amano's (Artwork for Final Fantasy, Sandman, HERO, etc.), but with a slightly darker and more western touch. Amazing!

    I'm not sure I really like the themes, they are quite morbid. For the most part, the work is good there was only one pic that I didn't really like from a technical point. I guess it's the third one you posted -- strange angle and choppy lines.
    Otherwise, nice stuff.
