Great expression and pose. Hope your shoulder feels better!

"See me now, I was another,
Mean and vicious, fast and clever,
see me now, you would not dreamed,
The food I ate, the food that screamed,

It was the wolf in me..."


Excellent work. I don't see how anyone could get bored of drawing werewolves. They are the best monsters ever!

ahh he is so lucky, great image

I must confess that for me the most frightening moment in any Were-creature transformation is the moment where the "Rational Human" mind succumbs to the emerging beast, and the Monster's mind takes over. I think you've captured this moment extremely well, and I think what makes it work is how the creature has a very Human looking eye peering out towards the viewer. I also like how you rendered the creature's claw-hands, and of course the fur textures and lighting. Job well done.

Really awesome!

This is EXCELLENT! <3

I feel pretty silly that I can't offer too much in the way of comment... too busy being wow'd by those textures and that awesome face. The rain looks pretty cool, too. Very moody.

Extremely expressive.

Love it.

<3 <3 <3

Your hard work and effort really shows! Great job! :)

Very awesome! I love the way the eye is staring at his hand. Very expressive.

Very nice. he's got that terrified holy crap whats happening to me expression nailed :).

Wow!

Just wow. I LOVE his hands.

They're very much inspired by An American Werewolf in London - one of the first werewolf movies I ever saw.

I them. :}

I think that movie is on this week. We put it in the DVR to record, but I can't remember when it was coming on.

But the tv version cuts out the nudity! That's no fun XD

:)

Still the best werewolf movie. And best transformation!

True that.

Woow.. fantastic piece.

Your skills seem advanced enough that I recommend considering doing some traditional medium, perhaps oil on canvas, or maybe large illustration board in the interim. I am a collector of fine art and seek work from skilled up and coming artists.

If you do create any traditional works, please notify me. I would be happy to review it, privately at first if you like.

A benefit to traditional art is that it is far less strenuous on the shoulder muscles. I feel your pain, literally, as I broke my arm where the rotator cuff attaches some years ago and have occasional bursitis in the other arm. Traditional art has you making broader strokes, which also allow your emotions to shape the piece - and is the reason why I only collect large pieces of artwork. I know digital art makes the money to pay the bills, but take some time to make some fine art pieces once in a while. I can almost guarantee you'll get some decent money for them. Speaking of which, please be sure to notify me if you put any oils or other large pieces in any auctions at any future conventions or art shows.

Thank you kindly,

Wow, that's very sweet of you!

I actually used to paint traditionally, mostly watercolor and acrylic, some gouche - I'm pretty old, I pre-date Photoshop XD Digital has been very good for sharpening skills, I think, because I don't have to worry about wasting supplies or ruining a canvas. I've thought about trying to paint traditionally, but until recently haven't had the time or the money to invest in good supplies. If I do, I'll certainly post here. I've been itching to do a mural on the panel next to my front door.

I didn't realize traditional painting would be less stressful, I would have thought it would be the opposite. It would also probably be good exercise - I've had some muscle atrophy and I need to do a bit of phys. therapy to get back up to speed.

Critics are supposed to serve artists and the public. Just doin' my job.


I am a critic because I dabble in art myself. I've worked in many mediums. Oil and other large formats are difficult for me because I have to control each and every stroke. As you can imagine, this is strenuous on the old shoulder. Putting your other hand on your shoulder muscles while you take controlled strokes will demonstrate what I mean. But feel your muscles when you make long artistic strokes as you would on a canvas or other large mediums and you should feel a significant difference in your muscle tone when you make the strokes. If it isn't more relaxed, you are doing something wrong.

If I might suggest, there might be grants available in your area for you to purchase supplies. With shoulder problems, I recommend against stretching your own canvas. A good large newsprint sketchpad won't be expensive and that will afford you the opportunity to refine your techniques before you invest in canvas.

I really do recommend oils over acrylics. It's a far more artistic medium, it'll be a lot easier on the shoulder, and you won't be tempted to use the acrylic medium to make incredibly detailed images...that would just make things worse.


I don't watch any artists, and I'm not on with any kind of regularity. I have a good memory for good artists, and have seen your work in the past, and will find you again in the future. However, I do entertain requests to critique, so do feel free to PM me with a request (same with anyone else...)


Thank you for your reply. I wish you luck in your therapy and in your work, and look forward to seeing you work on traditional media.

This is amazing! A long time since I took a look at your art and commented.
You are as masterful as ever.

That face is incredible!

Awesome! Great work =3

Absolutely perfect expression of shock :) Love all the detail in this picture! Nicely done.
