Fun work

your painting style is very smooth, which works particularly well on
metal and smooth surfaces

I think you might want to 'roughen up' your brushstrokes with other materials, like fur and cloth fabrics.

But you have a very distinctive style, so it could be a matter of personal taste

Thanks for your comments and your vote. It's great to have such accomplished artists give such positive feedback. You're gallery is nothing less than superb! I still do have a way to go with my 'brush work'. I have a tablet which I always want to use for the finer texturing but I seem to get to a point where, in my head at least, the picture is finished and I just want to set it free so to speak. My style, such as it is, has evolved from this really and I'm in a comfy place right now with how my work looks. When I look back at my gallery, and I've only been doing this two years, I feel I'm making progress. An 8 from an artist as good as yourself is very much appreciated and I will ceratinly take on board your advice.

Yeap, Master Vince have reason. A more work in textures could be great.

Haha, a guerilla gorilla? I like your concepts. Good work!

Hi,

I did a little work on the fur (hair??) and on the cloth. I tried to edit it and republish it but I must be doing something wrong cos I keep getting the original back. Is this the best way to do it or should reworked/edited pictures be shown somewhere else?

I uploaded to DA, here's the link. Hopefully you will see some improvements.

Very nice work. Love the play on words with 'guerilla warfare'.

'guerilla warfare'

Your image will be stronger with some hair brushes. You can add more ripples to water and you can smudge his reflection but also with this shape, it's fair.
Keep up the good work.
