Very nicely done. The Only thing that bothers me personally is the background and its relationship with teh subject. They are both wonderful o ntheir own but I do not think that they complament one another. IT all makes sence in terms of subject matter, but I think some of teh wonderful and beautiful intracacies of both the background and the subject are lost when both are together. I think it may be because the background is to busy right to the left of teh figure, though I am not completely sure why it bothers me.

because it like to bother you in fact it told me it is going to come to your house and kick you when you sleep and put icecubes in your shorts!

i think the problem is that again scans do not do justice and that it should have been darker background. the lightness of it brings it to far out. but when i was working on it i was kinda on top of it and trying desperately to finish it and everything else for Pennsic so i was not able to do my normal thing of put it across the room and look at it. this often helps me fix a lot of things. as far as busy it is a lot less busy than the art that inspired it. which oft had city scapes and other very very very busy subject matter in the background to imply place and setting for the portrait

Wow, very unique, but one does not think of an alien living in a skyless world these days.

it is not skyless. it is night. and there are very few stars. Even though i did stipple them in... it would seem to be day because of me not getting the background dark enough and partially because the planet reflecting light like our moon would light up the area.

nice! The colour and details in this are great. It has a very liquid feel to it, and you managed to pull it off quite well.

thank you

wow, the colors for this look great! love the creatures colors most!
