Description

Some more exploration with this aesthetic I love so much! Time for bed now though *yawns* it's late, I'm tired and my right hand is aching... from intensive use of tablet'n'pen, that is! Photoshop 7 and a lot of all-over blending in Painter 8, from source shot of myself. Thank you for viewing and your feedback is much appreciated :-)

You are really making some evocative images. This one makes you look closely at it.

LOL!!! For intensive use of ur tablet huh! ;) Mmmmh! I love the colors here, so soft and tender, perfect for the title as this could be desert colors indeed! The title is perfect for the image actually, and not only color wise...there's definitely an illusion of a mirage...like that! Yep!

Love the transparency & light in this one, & the usual dash of ambiguity of course ; )

I'm thinking you're ambidexterous anyhow LOL This is very interesting, complex but deceivingly simple, love the hues too :) Thank you so much for sharing buddy hugs

has a 3d look... as if built up in pieces... so very smooth in the transition of color... & got to love that "oh noooooooooo" Bill look :]

oh Jim, i love this style of work you are doing now. These skin tones and dark shadows are realy beautiful. I get a sence of 3 dimentions but it's as if the image where made of pieces of meat and bone layerd together. Kind of a deconstruction reconstruction piece (in a Francis Bacon sort of way - but better).

oh yesss.... nod great one... and i have similar feeling as anna... about the three dimension... they're there and they're not there... based on the shadows, the corner,but then the light and the body washes those away to let them come out again is going on browsing over the pic... cool one... have a great sunday...!

something you've learned from the dali-contest? Anyway; it's great how you've treated the human curves here. Great job!

Better than Francis Bacon, eh? Ooo-er! Delicate yet satisfyingly solid rendering. Yes, I think you really should try clay. Would give you something else to do with your hands L

Great body language in this very open very inviting, I find the visual confusion between flat blocks of colour and the 3D elements really interesting.
