Here's your own SuperginraiX with flats on that piece I showed a couple weeks back. I'll post the final colors too, but I really like how this is looking and wanted to share.

This has a real disturbing quality to it. Nice. Something very visceral.

You know what I think you should try in a piece? Just Van Gogh the shit out of a piece. I assume you're working with acrylics. I'd really like to see you layer a piece. Get some thickness to the canvas. I just think it's something that you could pull off (and something I lack the craziness to do myself).

yeah I'd like to do something like that,what I need to do is to learn how to slow the fuck down I'm always rushing thru things that work with the pen and ink stuff (especially with the shit paper I use ) but with painting it's a whole differnt world it's really forcing me to learn how to slow down. So I bought water color paint but I realized after the fact that I have no fucking clue how to use it I was putting the paint down and then adding water or putting it on the brush and then adding water I had no Idea you're suppose to mix the water in the pallet. Trial by fire I guess

new stuff

NEW

In the previous works, I like the girl with the tattoo on her wrist. SOmething about the framing of the pic is cool.

Now the new ones.
1 I have no clue what's going on in this pic. It looks like a Predator dog (wearing a mask) coming through water. Not my favorite of your pieces as the neutral and washed out tones don't really bring anything to prominence. There's no real strong image for the eye to gravitate towards.

2 I like this. The abstract nature on the left encroaching on the portrait on the right is cool. Nice quality to it. It's as if we're looking through an abstract painting to a more traditional one underneath.

3 I've been studying parasitism so all I'm seeing here is like disco rave Trichomonas. The center figure/object at the center brings to mind a female form at a club setting.

1. this was a experiment that continued on to the second piece (and it's a batman mask under all the paint but I agree I didn't bring it out in the foreground enough
2.I really like this I think I'm going to do more in this style , I drew out the face underneath and they painted over to of that I think next time I'm going to experiment with some sorta wash then paint over that
3.the picture doesn't do this justice for one reason it's really big it's proboly about 36 X24 I painted in on this crappy piece of form board that I found,the paint reacted really weird to the surface. I'd like to do more abstract stuff like this on differnt media I'd like to try cardboard or plywood

There are 2 types that I use from that company.

That one is basically suitable for pencils, but nothing else. You cannot ink on it (unless you're using markers) as it is relatively thin even for bristol. It's very good for pencils though. That drawing is just pencil.

They have a Blue Line Art Pro board which is more expensive and of higher grade. That one is suitable for brush inking and is just a thicker bristol.

So it depends on what you need it for, but I am very happy with the product.
