Thanks very much. This one started with a brighter, warmer background but it just didn't work. The background needed to be dreary to contrast the man's, as you say, "little pleasure."

I can see that but that's not who I'm thinking of. It looks either like someone I've met or someone I've seen on TV and I'm having a heck of a time trying to place it. This may drive me completely mental. XD

Hahhaha I love this! The man's expression is great and yeah (like was said in the critique), it definitely gives a nostalgic feel. Wonder what he was up to forty years ago....or...last night. <__< Haha anyway, this was a really cool way of incorporating your other piece into a new one. That kinda turbulent sky is really interesting too in contrast with how brightly lit the man is. Glad to see the snow hasn't killed your work ethic!

Yeah, I liked the burlesque poster but alone it couldn't go into a portfolio but it really works here.

Thanks!

I love the colors and the expression on the old man's face. And I hope you aren't snowed in for very much longer! I was snowed in last year.

What can I tell you? I am afraid that's not going to be good enough. We can schedule you a light drizzle of snow in 2014, but that's the best we can do.

I don't trust the weatherman, they always lie. I do trust the talking Mushrooms under the tree. >_> I don't eat them, i just talk to them.

Sonion In reply to raveen92 [2011-02-04 00:17:12 +0000 UTC]

That's good. It would be rude to try and talk to them after biting them...or just down-right psychotic.
