Thanks, MCF and Frank. The painterly work provided a nice change of pace.

I’m plunking down some cash on oil paints this week and intend to try it out traditionally.

$400 is barely a living wage for the amount of time put into those designs.

nice work, the prices on kingstrike seem way inflated. 400 for 1 color designs? Sheesh

Yeah, I think I would use a rusty orange as the main highlight color with hints of pure yellow instead of white the next time.

The highlights are a bit overpowering, but I think it adds a lot to the character of the image, great work.

Not happy to see that KingStrike is only open to submissions on an invite-only basis, guess I’m giving that one a miss.

No one else caught the irises! I got a few comments on the highlights, though.

Thanks a lot, sir; I really appreciate your feedback. I’m liking this experimentation. :)

Love the lighting, Ray. I literally sat back in my seat when this popped up on the screen. One critique – the iris area of the eyes are different sizes. Enough that you notice it. In nature you will never see that, so the mind kind of registers hidden flaw. Also, when you put highlights in the eyes, make sure they line up with the heart of the light source. Here they seem close to 12:30 o’clock and the light seems to come from 2:30. Again, tiny, tiny issues, but these are the things that sometimes lock an illustration in tighter, almost subliminally.

Great fuckin’ piece though. Really.
