Artist's Comments
OK...so there are probably some images that as an artist, you should just bury. I'm sure everyone goes back to old pieces to rework them when their skill level changes, or they just think they can "fix it"...I in particular, have a bad habit of going deep into my portfolio to dig up crap that gave me trouble before and revamp it. This bard was first done in pencil...then colored in PSP, only to look like...bleh. She had a lot of problems that I just couldn't wrap my head around...near a year later I've come back to her, fixing some of these old problems...only to create new ones...
Bleh...some work should probably just be left alone and counted as a loss. TCAG Comments
 holy crap! this is amazin, not only am i faving it, im puttin u on my friends list....keep up the good work!

 you should be proud  -- Good girls are only Bad girls that dont get caught   lol. It still looks awesome.
 Love the eye decorations and the cloak! Very purty.-- I just lost. Karen,Amy,Maja --> totally totally awesome plus OR minus epsilon.  HOLY SHIT THIS OWNS!!
 SO HARD IT BLEEDS.-- "It is not a garment I cast off this day, but a skin that I tear with my own hands." -Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet  This is absolutely fantastic!!!
you are a great artist!!!1 probably your owm worst criric as i am!!!! Worthy of a fave from me!!!! -- "we create our own reality and walk into the picture we hold of the future!" visit my gallery [link]  Wow you have made quiet a few changes to this one piece I see. I love the way you did the hair making it look so wind blown and realistic. The cloak is soft looking it looks like velvet. You also enhanced her lips and the whisks of hair in her face draw attention to the tattoo. The darkening at the bottom by the cloak draws the viewer's eyes back to the woman. You also made the light source more obvious. I love this piece, she looks so alive and mysterious, excellent work as always, Nick.
 This is definately my favourite. I don't care if you think it is too old, leave it up so we can ogle!
I love the colors, contrasts, and subtle use of shiny reflection.-- It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection; through art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence. -Oscar Wilde AestheticAlchemy.com  The bard was the first piece of work that I saw by you. I loved it then and I love it now. I think she is exquisite.
-- Seeing...  Beauty in Ashes Life in DeathPleasure in Pain Loyalty in Honesty Power in Subservience good piece...
I like how it's been composed girl's perspective is eccelent, it adds much to image also, aqrabesque style of bird on the right is very interesting |
