AWSOME!!! SO COOL!!!! !!!

Just the shapes alone make me captivated.

really interesting, I like the movement in the piece

Great. I'll make sure to experiment with movement some more. Thank you. :]

You may not be satisfied, but I think the visual representation is smashing and the point is very well made. Great pose and insight.

A striking image, for its use of dark and lighter grays to convey spatial depth, for its use of hot reds to grab the attention, for its feeling of movement. I'm always glad to find work like this on Fur Affinity.



Mark

I didn't think all of that works... Thank you.

If you could redraw the image differently, what would you alter?




Mark

Well... everything, obviously. :]

Was I wrong to praise it?



Mark

Nah, not really. It's all subjective. :]
I'm glad it works. It didn't seem to work strong enought to me.

I was expressing my surprise there, not doubting your statements, btw. (My englisch are craptastik.)

It's good -- in fact, essential -- to have a critical attitude towards your own work; every skilled artist wants to become even more skilled.

But I would ask you to accept, as well, that praise for your work is often sincere... especially here, on Fur Affinity, where no one is forcing anyone else to look at your work or to comment on it.

If you feel that the perspective could be improved, or that the anatomy is not as convincing as it could be, or that the use of colour fails to convey the proper sense of scale or depth, and so on, that's fine and good. But I cannot know your intentions; I can only see the result, and base my assessment on that result. If I say that I like your work, I mean it.



Mark

You've misunderstood me (i can't blame you, that sentence does sound different from what i ment to say) - I DID accept your praise as sincere and I sincerely thank you. I was just pleasantly surprised all of those things work.

I apologize for my misplaced anger.



Mark

Hey, it's perfectly justifiable. :]
Let's just blame it on limits of text-only communication and my language barrier.

I'll remind myself to put more smilies in my posts, that should keep my messages from sounding too mean and high-hat. :]

If you don't mind my asking, just out of curiosity, what is your first language?



Mark

Lithuanian. Grammaticaly, it works quite different from english, so I sometimes make quirky sentences.

Wow!




Mark

the addition of reds is such a nice touch
I quite like the figures here, as well as the overall concept.
I've been quite enjoying this series!

I've hidden the figures in black to avoid working on anatomy. i'm so smart. ;P

Thanks. So far i think i'll continue with it, but quality might drop - tons of work comming in. :[
(yes, yes, I'll get to work on that request... again... soon...)

ooo I very much look forward to that and whatever else :]
he currently wears a suit, as you may know

just curious, what is this other work that you speak of?

Yep, suit fits the character well. :]

Just a bunch of university work. Posters, photo-album and an artsy-fartsy conceptual err... thing for digital print. Sounds easy, but is hellovalot of work.

I know it's just copy-flipped, but I really dig the symmetry.

am lazy... i hate working more than is required to make (i mean suggest) a point. :P

Wow. That's a hefty compliment! Thank you. :]
