Why do we continue to see the same 4 or 5 Ztools in various haphazard compositions? You mark them all as “WIP” but honestly, they don’t appear to progress at all. The only thing that changes is the application of readily available shaders and the occasionally applied series of photoshop brush and filter effects.
Did you model the skeleton that you are using so often? Just curious, because it doesn’t really resemble any of the rest of your work. It has a level of sculpting execution not reached in anything else that you present.
It would be nice to see any one of these wips, actually progress instead of being recycled into some other incredibly similar manifestation.
It’s time to figure out a way of giving a sense of depth, scale, and or perspective to your pieces. All of these are lacking.
In light of your confessed interest in conte crayons, you would do well to invest in a color theory course, it would really improve your work. Louder isn’t always better.
The people who buy them seem to like them. .Especally the colors:D …Don’t know what else to tell you guy…other than I studied color theory for three years at the NEW ENGLAND SCHOOL OF ART AND DESIGN along with composition and all of the other essentials that go into making works that sell…Plus a couple of years at the OTIS PARSONS ART INSTITUTE studying anatomical drawing…skeleton/muscle attachment/function ect. and life drawing and figure creation in THE figure drawing/creation/life class of BURNE HOGARTH…plus an airbrush class…I also have studied traditional sculpture here in Boston where I live now.
I have been selling digital works for about five years now…before that, it was traditional oil paintings…So with all of that said, your opinion of my works just makes me
CHEERS
It was a critique, you post in a public forum, it’s subject to critique. Guffawing and shrugging off criticism (that was being honestly offered) really makes you sound pompous. Or did the instructors at OTIS never criticize your work?
Capitalization of the schools you say you went to and people you studied under is so much narcissistic name dropping. It actually detracts any credibility the mentioned names might have offered.
More power to you if you’re able to sell these as is, P.T. Barnum said it best “There’s a sucker born every minute”
You didn’t answer my question. Did you model the skeleton, like from scratch?
Obz…Just trying to answer your crit of my work in the same fashion as your crit of it.Sorry if you don’t like what i’m doing in my sketchbook,…Different strokes for different folks…At least i’m not a clone of someone elses work…
I don’t think my tearchers or the schools i’ve attended would mind me using them as refferences to describe my background when it is put into question as you have done…Seems like a justifiable and resonable response to me.
About the skeleton…Does it matter to anyone but you…if so, or if not so,… who cares…certanly not myself…But if you really must know, then you will have to search in my sketchbook alot more than you have apparently done to find the answer you are seeking…
Fire away guy, because it seems to be aggrevating you, alot more than it is me…I’ve lived to many years to let myself be bothered by pettyness from others who think that they know everything about everything.
About a sucker being born every day…HEY…MONEY TALKS, AND BULL**** WALKS…CHEERS…
Fernando…THANKS MAN…
About the size,…I have the ones that I like printed at the biggest size I can make them.They vary according to the dimentions of the piece and at the highest resolution…usually 400…I take care of any jagged edges or pixolated areas with a softener brush, and a blender brush in the Painter #10 program,.so when they are enlarged, there is no pixolated areas, and when printed poster size on Giclee, they look just like traditional oil paintings, and when they are printed small, the detail remaines sharp and crisp in the areas where it is desired to be that way.
CHEERS Fernando…
So you are admitting that the stuff that you supposedly sell is garbage?
Cheers
HEY Chew…Chew on this…Warning, you may not enjoy the way it taste…
Garbage and greatness is all in the eye of the beholder…One mans garbage is another mans treasure…The people who have bought and buy my works, don’t think that it’s garbage, as do alot of people in this forum, and other forums who have said that they like my works, and that includes myself. So I guess you are judging and criticizing their opinions and taste in art also, when you incinuate and call my works garbage…:qu:
“But I have to say, not everyone who looks at art knows about art. In fact, most people who look at art don’t know about art. So with that said, shouldn’t we expect a little more from our artists?”
-random quote from the interwebs-
HEY CHEW…Why don’t you GO CREATE SOMETHING, and quite taking/talking your crap in my sketchbook …WHY DON’T YOU.:qu: …TALK IS CHEAP, and ACTION ALWAYS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS.
More garbage/treasure
WIP.
With the current expanding oil slick approaching the coastline , I thought I would work further on this piece/concept…which seems more relative today than it did yesterday…especally since I live along the ocean coast, close to where it is approaching.

Quick Z Brush thumbnail sketch…Just capturing the thought in visual form, before it escapes…Might design a crown for him/it.
As the largest oil spill/disaster in known history is occuring at present time on the planet that we all share, this concept has real relevence, and is what art is and should be all about, in my mind and way of thinking anyway.
Thought…Openhiemer’s quote…I have become as Shiva, the destroyer of worlds.
Happy EARTH DAY…Everyone

WIP.
In the beginning there was the Great Spirit. Pure Energy with Consciousness; but no Body. Just a Dream not yet dreamt. Longing for Form, it dreamt of a body, so it could be alive within itself. It dreamt of the Earth. A special place it could feel at Home in. Its very own Body. Its Temple to Itself.
It eventially grew Tired and Lonely and finally fell asleep where it dreamt of Life.
Its dream was populated with all the Life Forms it could Imagine. But, like all Dreams, they can change from Pleasurable to Nightmarish in an Instant. And that is exactly what happened.
The Great Spirit had a horrendous Nightmare. It dreamt its Heart had been Pierced and its Life’s Blood was being Sapped by a Giant Parasite it had Created in its Imagination: The “Mammom”.
Startled, it awoke from its Nightmare and left its body: the Earth.
And Once Again became Pure Spirit:
Energy with Consciousness, but now it had Memory.
As it looked back at its former Body, it realized its Nightmare had become a Reality. And it Wept.
It Wept itself to Sleep and dreamt a new Dream, that had the Memory of the Old Dream in it. And it Wondered if what it saw was Real - or just a Dream within a Dream.
In between the Mind and the Hand that Wields the Power of Reality or Dream, there has to be a Heart of Love and Kindness with Compassion. Or Life, Reality and Dream become a Hell: a Place and/or Situation that is not worth Living in or Dreaming about.
