Hi, this is something else I painted long ago and I'm looking for input on its direction. Recently went over it and added a new background and highlighted the character more.

This is another painting I did in Photoshop last year. You can pretty much tell my favorite color is blue. Is the blue scheme a bit too much. It started off in different tones, but most of the times I use them as the base and then layer a solid color over the painting.

My "SATSC" Concept painting. "Sky Wait" Tell me what you think. I created a new background and then blended one of my old concepts with the character Shulu riding the creature.

I like both of your pieces, very much! I'm usually not a huge fan of these sorts, but something about these works are..enchanting. Good job!

Thanks everybody for your comments. I really appreciate them. If you guys have any ideas of some type of cool painting or sketch you would like me to take on, fill free to throw it at me. I'm kind of lost as to what grasps the attention of viewers the most or employers. I mostly do fantasy stuff. In other words, I need a painting task or challenge if anyone of you have one. Something anyone of you you would like to see or critique.

Thank you, I'm trying to make some of my work brighter.

i envy your visions. the first one seems to have more information about the background than the creature. the second - can you ever have too much blue? the third: ditto/background and creature. these are photoshop creations? very cool stuff.

Hey Michael. Great stuff. I like the second one. it reminds me of how i feel when i am finally done with a piece that has drained me of a worthwhile endevour. .Jim
