TheChaoticKnight [2006-11-08 19:52:04 +0000 UTC]

Great! I've always been daunted by stippling. too much so to ever finis something. But that really is great use of the style.

Laartista In reply to TheChaoticKnight [2006-11-09 14:38:35 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I totally understand. Stippling takes patience, which honestly I don't have. But it's very relaxing for me. I'm glad you like it.

WEL THIS IS NICELY COMPOSED. U REMIND ME OF SOMEONE WHO IS ALSO GOOD IN STIPPLING. MONOCHROME IS ALRIGHT BUT I SUGGEST YOU TRY TO ADD A TOUCH OF COLOR (NOT TOO MUCH), IT WOULD BE GOOD AS WELL. I'LL BE WATCHING YOU!

Laartista In reply to johntibz [2006-11-06 18:32:53 +0000 UTC]

Laartista In reply to johntibz [2006-11-09 13:37:00 +0000 UTC]

I've tried my hand out at photography. But to be honest, I don't think I'm all that good. That's wonderful that you like doing it. It gives you another artistic outlet to explore. I'll definitely take a look at anything you post.

I'm not really into the manga style but I'm always willing to take a look.

My goodness is that gorgy! Such incredible detail. A big bulk of your time must have been spent only on that black background! :faint.

Very wonderful and excellent. I notice that you haven't erased your pencil lines. Do you normally leave them there?

Laartista In reply to AKennethN [2006-10-30 13:42:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. It did take me a while to get that background finished. My hand was definitely in a bit of pain when I finished.

Good eye in regards to the pencil lines. You're the first to mention them. Actually, I forgot to erase them. I did erase them after submitting the piece but I haven't scanned the piece yet.

Thanks again for the wonderful comments.
