When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
This is the first all-digital painting I've done completely from reference, rather just using a basic reference and then interpreting from there. I've been trying to work more in grayscale to get a better instinct for lighting. I love colour, but this medium is a better training ground.
Anyway. I'm proud of it. I feel like I have a lot to learn, but I think I'm getting better all the time, which a good feeling. I'm slowly but surely incorporating everything I've learned from other people and all of their amazing work. Cheers. Criticism (especially specific) is greatly appreciated. Comments It´s a great job!!!! without colour? It doesn´t matter...
I like it anyway, keep working!!!!! Cheers!

-- Screwy, but smart.  You've really captured the soul of Jareth... that beautiful darkness quality that makes him so fascinating. I really like this.
-- "if you seek the light... throw yourself in that fire we must burn to shine" -Trevor Munson Icon by:[link]  This is wonderful. Thank you for shareing.

MASTERING YOURSELF MAKES YOU FEARLESS. -LAO TZU  Wonderful job - the shading is dramatic and eyecatching, and the background adds depth without detracting from the image by being over detailed. I really like it!
The face is beautifully realised, although I'd argue about the fringe-length hair - its a bit static and harsh looking. -- "It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter." Psalm 74:17 Thanks for the comment! It was very helpful- probably the most helpful so far.
I was working from a cap, so I wanted to get the background looking sort of out of focus without using a filter. A filter is way too obvious, since I wanted it to have a painted effect, I went with crazy loose details and blurred it a tiny bit. I see what you mean- the hair is definitely static. If I clean this up in the near future, I'll add more movement. Hair is definitely not one of my strong suits yet. -- sweeney todd online Face it, Harl, this stinks. You're a certified nutso wanted in two dozen states, and hopelessly in love with a psychopathic clown. You're welcome! Glad to help ^_^
And seeing as you've admitted to having trouble with hair - aren't the people who can get it perfect and make it look effortless just plain disgusting?  -- "It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter." Psalm 74:17 oh, of course.
