The second one is also really nice, and I think you should continue working on it for sure. To be 100% honest though, for the most part these do nothing for me. They seem uninspired and flat. They seem to build a lot on cliche's and fantasy elements, but for the most part are lacking any sort of dynamic range or depth. Based on the qualities of the 2 I liked, there's definitely potential to expand beyond that and make something unique. In terms of technique, the colours you've used are great, so keep up the good work here. I'd invest in some differen (or more varied) brushes and sizes of brush. The brushstrokes here are all very one-dimensional, and there isn't really any weight dedicated to any particular area of the canvas. As a result nothing fully cathes the eye and your viewer is left to kinda just glaze over everything instead. This of course is with the exception of the two I already named, those are a step in the right direction. The eye is drawn to large patches of lights and darks, and how they play against eachother to creat contrast. When everything is midrange in terms of tone, it gets muddled. The robot pulls the eyes' attention, and as a result we have a reason to move around the scene and take in what's going on. One other thing to consider is style. These kind of seem unresolved in what they want to be. They're paintings, but also highly illustrative. You've got kind of an odd balance between those two. It would help your work a lot to go one way or the other. There's a delicate balance between realism and personal style, and these haven't fully gotten to a point where they seem well thought out yet on what they want to be. I hope this doesn't all come off as harsh, it's all intended to help. :) JoshuaGoor on "Paintings" http://www.punaji.com/topic/paintings#post-5555 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:21:25 +0000 JoshuaGoor 5555@http://www.punaji.com/ These were all done in the past two years.

The medium for these paintings is acrylic on canvas. Hoping that talking with other artists (Such as the ones found her at Punaji) will help further motivate me to paint more often. Thanks.

Love the sorta eel head design of the red guy though. The moleskine sketches are very impressive. Good to see some more stuff from you.

I wouldn't suggest keeping it's current placement on the paper- don't know if thats final. Some cropping would be nice. Now, it seems you've become a little complacent in your style. This piece has a lot of new things going for it, but style isn't one of them. That sounds harsh. What I mean by that is that while you've gotten to the point where you can effectively transmit your message to the audience- I think you have potential for more, and that your style and technique should evolve to keep up with the advances you're making in other areas. I think, without evolving, you'll be stuck making really good art as opposed to really great art. Anyways, this piece could be a step in the direction I'm talking about, I just wanted to voice something I've thought about your work for a while. Good stuff.
