Awesome. I love the little quite at the bottom.

[Lighthouse - Background Art]

Spectacular. Given the understanding of the Flash CS3 layout, this is definitely a pretty solid piece of background art you've got here. It's very captivating, and the coloring is spot on. It almost gives me a bit of an Adam Phillips feel, which is especially impressive. What caught my eye first- aside from the lighthouse of course- was the detail and rigid outline of the leaves on the trees and their respective silhouette. Honestly the only thing that sticks out to me is the amount of blur given to the clouds. I'm assuming since this is background art, the clouds are probably meant to be in motion. Considering this I'd recommend maybe bumping the blur down a few points- only a few. Regardless this is a great piece you've got here.
I have to ask- is this any particular lighthouse you referenced, or one you drew up on your own? You've painted my dream home.

Thankyou very much! I think you're right, I could reduce the blur on the clouds. This isn't any particular lighthouse but it would be a mix of elements from various refence images.

Incredibly captivating. This is incredible. The composition is flawless, and the attention to detail seems endless. Every dot of light amongst the city and the glimmers from the trees in the foreground is so spot-on that I'm literally sucked into the world of this piece. I've looked through your other works, and can see that you clearly have a lot of talent and quite the eye. Props to you sir.

Wow, really intense piece here. Your talent with texture and depth really shines here.

[The Hand Garden]

Captivating. I really like how the dripping in the background gives off the effect of rain. Very well put together!

[Pink]

Something about this really stands out, and I can't decide if it's the impeccable use of a beautifully picked color pallet, or the slight touch of cartoon stylistics that really spring the image into life. Either way, you've definitely made some good use of your talent, and I look forward to seeing more from you!

Oh this is perfect. Botanical demons and massive fucking cockroaches. The coloring/shading is impeccable.

SmokeryDots responds:

Botanical demons never misses :P Thank you :)

[Even Adults sing in the Dark]

Flawless. Really emotional piece right here. It speaks so loudly and says so much, while the overall composition is rather subtle, easing in with a fantastic flow and great rythym throughout. The small details within this piece tell a number of different stories to me. The red light that the train is positioned in front of could indicate several things crucial to the background of this work, and truly keeps the viewer thinking. Excellent work here.

I'm really glad you like it, and thanks :)
