Hey,
Thanks for the comments. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner (it's been busy busy) but it looks like you found the explanation. I started out just doing straight red, yellow, blue stuff and got bored of that process colored look, so I tried to do more of a monochromatic thing, just going for density and texture. Turned out the answer was just doing a ton of light, expressive runs and letting information build up slowly over the course of the process.
Thanks again,
-M

hey chongolio.
ive recently started getting a huge interest in the whole tiki style thing. i dont have much knowledge it, and it looks like you do, with your awesome artwork. is there any artists you can recomend me to look at.
also can you look at my 2 new pieces, and if its possible give me any pointers, because i dont want the work to be shallow and in bad taste. any help would be grateful.

Aloha,
Here is a link to a tiki forum that has all the info you need to learn about tiki style and Polynesian pop:
[link]
Here is a link to the creating tiki forum on Tiki Central:
[link]
Some of my favorite artists and friends you may want to check out are:
Little lost Tiki a.k.a Ken Ruzic
Sam Gambino
Thor's
Swamp Fire a.k.a Doug Horne
Clysdalle (a former deviant artist)
Big Toe
These are just a few of the talented folks hanging around TC. You can learn a lot about what is considered "Tiki" and what is considered Parrot Head crap. Your art is on the right track! Study the classic styles from the various islands read through the posts and you will learn a tons.
Cheers,
Chongolio

Hey as long as you are having fun and enjoying the process of creating it is all good. But learning about the culture, history and difference of both the The Polynesians and the Poly pop scene is always a good first step.
