Description
---------------full view---------------character- Guy Salvatore at age 17 and in his 20's.
from- my comic "the god machine."
media- pencil drawing on sketch book paper, and photoshop.
I wanted to do more with this, but my depression is getting in the way of completing it. Though there's something about this that.. i dunno. I'm more then curious as to how anybody will react to how i treated this image. At any rate this was one of those ideas i had in my head for ages, and i drew it the other night.. finally got to coloring it tonight after such a long day. I might go back to help this image, or leave it as is.. i'm not sure how i feel about it. we shall see.

i like the way the negative space is treated in this...
the way you removed some of the colour in certain spots just feel so neet <--shoddy wrd but eh...
it wrks w/the composition so nicely, the one figure looking up feels lighter, more free and the colour surrounding him enforces that. vs. the figure looking down, the body language feels negative and heavy and so does the colour in the lower portion of the image. it feels more oppressive...
mmm rambling.
feel better though, i really do like this image... tis well done.

It's an interesting way to portray the same character twice; one the left, we can see your character (I assume that's when he's 17), and from his pose we can assume he's not the most confident lad in the lot, long hair and glasses, he seems depressed and fragile; then we turn to the right and see this bald guy, standing with his head up and in a more confident manner, we can see it in his pose and expression; looks like he's grown up and gotten stronger as a person. Neat job on the color usage and texturing, it's a great piece, overall

ok ifyou want my simple reaction to the picture then skip the next bit 
well my first impression came fromthe thumbnail and the title and it was 
younger Guy is slumpped forward and looking down, ussualy a sure sign that there unhappy with life because to simply look upwards is a sign of seeing where you are going, your future. While lookng down is avoiding everything and ignoring life a it passes you by, missing the wonderful from the majextic beauty of nature to a small simple sculpture on the side of an old building. Also the way he is holding himself seems fearful and affraid and i'd say his eyes are very lonely.
Older Guy looks more optermistic, looking up and standing a bit straighter yet he still holds that sorrow within him, and the fact he smokes shows he has given into temptation and picked up an addiction. He also has changed ideas and how i get that from a simple drawing maybe seem daft but younger he looks geekish and a bit of a mini mosher? (I think that's right I don't acctualy get the sterotypes and groups but he's wearing baggies and a t-shirt so whatever group that is
obviously this is all just me analysing a picture as I would any picture and as we all know, dodingthat can me your WAY off course with things
for astheticness, if that's a word, I do like it for is dreamy quality of thinking of days to come or days gone past 
oh... can you tell just came from my critical studies class

his hair droops nicely, but the bald is impressive as well. Feel better, it's a nice piece.

Sweet drawing. Although, the older Guy reminds me strangely of a bald headed web comic writer... O_o;;;;

I love the colors...the green feels so sad...but not the same way that blue does...more of a sickly sort of sad.
And Now Guy's profile is amazing...I love his occipital bone. (back end of the skull ^-)

Nice. Really nice.
I'm just wandering about some things, thought... they are details, really...
This space between ol' one's and young one's legs... the colour is so much different than colours all around the background it almost makes this gap glow. It looks weird.
...and the smoke's colour almost makes it psychodelic.
Oh, and I thought the 20-Guy wore same type o' glasses as the teenage one. Then again, recentlyhe's been apearing mostly without them. I guess I just remember them from some old character study...
Anyway... I still love your pencilwork...
Your colouring experiments are quite interesting... yet not every time they do good for the picture. Keep experimenting, tho... I think it's worth it...

Old Guy doesn't have glasses. Only one picture i've done (which was just for fun) experimented with him having glasses and earings (it was an alternate reality ordeal.) There's a big reason for him losing his glasses. ^^

Hehe... my bad... I looked up the study I mentioned... and he doesn't have glasss on that one...
Dunno why I thought he had.
Maybe the reason is to show more emotions through his eyes?

Hello again,
I've been keeping up with all your work, and all of it really draws my attention to no end. So much so I find myself at a loss for words on most of it and don't end up replying at all. To be honest, all of it is really far out and really ambitious, it just captivates so many senses, and my limited vocabulary can't come up with good enough word, emotion, things. I was just wondering, when your comic book is done, are you gonna include any copies of this kind of work in the comic as inserts, or are thes independent projects?
Anyway, big fan

male pattern baldness really raped his head huh?

I love this one. This is one of those types of things I wish that I could do, you know. Set aside the regular stuff I do and pull off something simple, thought provoking and awe inspiring. It's like looking at someone when they were at the bottom of the barrel, scraping by just to breathe, and then, at the same time, seeing them after they rose up and took control to whatever extent and made something of themselves. Kinda like how we all should look at ourselves sometimes : the person we are and the person we KNOW we all can be like one day, sooner or later.

I like the body language, speaks a bit about his personality. I'm still waiting for the comic.
