[Checkerboard #3]

Claustrophobic in a good way?

I dig this...definitely my favorite of your 4.
It gives a very boxed-in feeling.
It would look amazing painted as a wall-sized mural.
My one tiny gripe about it would be where the red/black checkerboard meet the "back wall" of the piece. I feel like this back wall should've been a deep charcoal or midnight blue, instead of the lighter greenish hue. It makes my eyes jet to that level almost instantly, having to consciously come back to examine the awesome checkered world...whereas if it were darker, I would get more of the "tunnel vision" effect.
But hey...that's just me. I see colors funny sometimes.

Great SteamPunk style...

Also...nice Katamari reference.
It sorta makes me think of what the Mad Hatter would have in the Alice in Acidland graphic novel, too.
Really nice work.

Araelyn responds:

Thank you! :)
I was trying NOT to go for an Alice in Wonderlandtypeishthing, but perhaps. I've been told it looks more like it's from Return to Oz or Brazil.
I think as long as all of the things it reminds people of are awesome things, then I'm good.

Stark...simple...and beautifully dark.

I love the tone here. All I can think of is horror. It looks like this may have been easy to do, but no less powerful in its message.

Bryony responds:

Drawing the pattern on the hand took forever actually, I'm putting a variation up inabit. But yeah the end product was pretty easy to get, I'm just lucky I got the positioning perfect first time.

[stone cold]

Great ethereal quality.

Honestly, from what I have seen so far, you have some of the best fine art on NG.
Theres too many things I like about this to write about. Just an all around beautiful piece.

[Naissance de Pico et Darnell]

Gorgeous work.

I like the tone, the mix of ideas...and the texture a lot. really fantastic piece.

[Self-Portrait]

Great creepiness here...

Im a fan of dark art...as you could tell by a lot of my own. This has a nice mood and great colors.
