I'm no art critic and there's no doubts that you certainly have a good drawing hand, but the figures in drawing #1 seem to have too much of "chest" ? Atleast IMHO. Overall, good work !!!! :) :yesway:

What the hell :eek: nice man, I literally thought the first one was done on a computer!

:eek: thanks! :eek:

Do you sell any of this or do work by commission?

the ones i posted were done for my portfolio - for future employment and graduate school admission, and also to submit to galleries :) i've never done commission work, but would love to. except i hate deadlines. it's done when it's done, dammit!!!!11 :mad: :p

that's a woman :)

I'm influenced by renaissance-era art, and during that era, women were drawn with masculine features. i like to draw ripped women (ogodyes), so I thought, why not draw a figure that you can't tell is a male or female? it was supposed to be a male, and I even referenced my own body to draw it, but decided to give it tittays and make it a woman. ...but it's really up to the viewer to decide which gender that figure is, and by doing that, the piece may be interpreted in different ways. i was always interested in gender stereotypes, gender injustice, sexuality. :)

You definitely got that aspect in your work, I was genuinely confused whether it was supposed to be a male/female. :agreed:

Very, very, very impressive and excellent work. Your shading is some of the best I've seen. You're going places with that kind of technique and talent,for certain. :hbang:

Looks like Tool meets H.R. Giger.

That's what I was thinking EXACTLY, and it's definitely a compliment as H.R. Giger and Alex Grey are two of my favorite artists! :wub: Absolutely EXCELLENT work man, put me in the "if you ever decide to sell some of your work, let me know!" column! I'd love some cool stuff to hang in my guitar room and the pieces in your OP are stellar! :D

i get that comment often, but i don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. :\

I most definitely am influenced by H.R. Giger but I didn't even know about Alex Grey until after making my first piece in this style many years back. :scratch:

it doesn't help that most Tool fans are fanatics, so they're just gonna think I'm ripping off Alex Grey. :squint:

i'll definitely sell these, but after I display them at galleries. :)

thank you for the compliments :)

these are all drawn with pencil ranging from 2B to 8B on Arches (printmaking/drawing) paper. each panel measures 30 X 42 inches.

here are my latest pieces

I also made myself a bass based on the Warmoth Gecko neck. the body is an original design. all tone controls are located on the cavity cover on the rear.
