Yup a little better. Ok its another file with other settings, but both were better than the first I posted. These drawings are made in a time where it cost alot to send bigger photos, so I had resized them and I SO regret that now. :)

OOOPS! Forgot to tell, what I did to make it look better and smaller. I added a 310 pixel wide border in same color as Renderosity´s background. HA! Better with a smaller clear image, than a large blured one, huh? Not bigger for any price, is my opinion.

SUPERB!

Wonderful work Helle. God bless.

Interesting drawings! :)

Yes, in addition to RR not posting full sizes of our photos (because of space, ads, people with smaller screens, etc), RR also has the habit of posting slightly larger zooms than we intend. I don't know why. I've had to size-down a few of images as well, to get the right resolution. We all know that when someone makes a pic too large, it gets murkier, less defined. So I understand your concern.

But: The larger version of this is still quite beautiful. It lacks some definition, yes, and your repost makes that clear. (The repost has stronger blacks too.) In any case, more highly refined pencil work from you, studying contour after contour. Your 'gouges' are done with great skill. I learned long ago that drawing gouges isn't easy: You've conveyed the sculpted feeling beautifully. Also, they have 'presence': Meaning, it feels like they speak to us from across the centuries. Beautifully done, Helle, each stone is a little 'being', a little living, breathing thing. One wants to hold them and rub their sculpted surfaces. I hope you find 2 million more of these: They're a delight.

Yes, just as Mark I hope you will find a lot of more from this wonderful and very special artwork, dear friend! I just love all your very fine work on them, its really intriguing to me, Helle.

It looks okay to my old tired eyes.
