The full image screams "avalanche" at me, the cropped image screams "fighting in a fucking avalanche".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13110549453927697205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-38276717611086260862017-02-28T09:14:18.673-08:002017-02-28T09:14:18.673-08:00My unsolicited commentary:

There's a lot of very fine pen strokes on the stairs and on the rocks, and somehow that distracts from the figures. By contrast, in Adrian's piece as well as in your third picture, there's only really enough detail in the environment to create a sense that it's there, without overpowering the action of the figures - in Adrian's in blurs as it gets further into the background, in yours it blurs as it gets closer into the foreground, but I think the effect is similar (yours has the added bonus of creating more immediacy to the action as unsettled dust or snow erupts around them). The acrylic gives an absolutely gorgeous sense of texture to everything, even though some of the very fine details of the pen work are lost. The only detraction I can think to make is that I liked the more defined nonchalance of the leaping character's face in your second version than in any of the others.<br /><br />I think, overall, your final version is better than his, but I'm a fan of your art in general and I am not as enthralled by the Adrian Smith piece as you are in the first place.Menace 3 Societyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697437012473847456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-89359962016203400572017-02-27T05:35:46.623-08:002017-02-27T05:35:46.623-08:00I think you lost this round.I think you lost this round.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428660523475361629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-71398255541803381422017-02-27T05:05:29.201-08:002017-02-27T05:05:29.201-08:00Insane in a good way!Insane in a good way!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11669140271228776459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-82292263588862638732017-02-27T05:05:14.743-08:002017-02-27T05:05:14.743-08:00Is this book going to be a setting book like red &...Is this book going to be a setting book like red & pleasant land?

I won´t say it is a sucess bcaus eit is not what you were going for, but it made me think of a homage to Adrian by way of Mike Mignola.<br /><br />Not that it looks that much likr mike´s art, but htere is something in both that I realy like, I liked the colors a lot.<br /><br />Sorry can´t be more usefull in the feedback, I am not an art person.CJGeringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367654304370593518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-37671529637401562382017-02-24T23:55:13.617-08:002017-02-24T23:55:13.617-08:00The movement you captured particularly in the last...The movement you captured particularly in the last two is great.
