BIO
My name is Todd Shearer and I live in the US, on the east coast, near Washington D.C., but don't hold that against me, it's not my fault...really. I live with my significant other and two beagles, Hephaestus (aka Heph) and Nyarlethotep (aka Nya). and the ghost of Yogsothoth (aka Yogdog) And yes, feel free to make the Indianna Jones joke about my being named after the dog. I am presently one of the great unemployed masses, trying to make my way into being able to almost support myself with my art and writing. I try not to be a one trick pony, doing a landscape here, a portrait there, a pin-up over next to the wall...yeah, there in the corner...or whatever else comes to mind. I read and write mostly horror, though I make a point of forcing myself to read at least one classic "should be read" book every four or five cheesey horror or fantasy novels I read. Presently I am working on Dante's Divine Comedy and coming to regret the choice. My favorite artists are Vermeer, Brughel, Barry Windsor-Smith, Bernie Wrightson and Thom Canty... talk about ecclectic. My favorite writers are Stephen King (there's a surprise), H.P. Lovecraft, James Michener and Douglas Adams. Anything else you wish to know? Feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer. Yerz, Yogdog

Very nicely done.

This could be a book cover! excellent!

Very well done. I like the fact that I had to look a bit before I saw the face in the smoke. If it were too obvious, it would be corny. As it is, it's superb!

Wonderful atmosphere - Great picture

Very well done scene - nice sense of style to this - the large dark rock in forground is a very heavy graphic element - perhaps a little lower and across the whole bottom frame to weight that better?

Lledeline

Great lighting on this pic looks liek a good fantasy book cover. Bright yellows and oranges to draw yoru attention and monochrome background to keep your attention there.

I really admire your expertise but particularly this and the Wicker Man (my kind of subject matter). Great composition and an inspiration to persevere with Bryce.

Excellent work!

I agree with Zorares. I was also thinking this would make a great book cover. It would make me definitely pick it up to see what's between the pages. I love it.
