Description
Random digital paintings are therapeutic. Wish I could get looser at these things though. Practice practice practice! My character Peter who needs more attention but doesn't get any because his mince meat face is such a pain in the ass and I still don't think i've gotten it right yet. Way to be mauled, you terrible wereanimal therapist, you. Go file your paperwork.
Hey look I uploaded something!
Please gear the critiques towards ways I could improve this sort of thing in the future, esp. if you see me making consistent mistakes or whatever else occurs to you would be useful for me to keep in mind in the future. I may go back to edit this but I've been staring at it so long I think I'm ready to just try a new one from scratch.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactWhat Works About This Piece
The concept for the character is an interesting one & the character design also reflects this. The scarred, ravaged face is all the more hideous due to the smile that cracks it's way across it. There's something about the expression that suggests he's one for trying to hard, eager to impress but knows he's likely to be rejected. The lighting on the hand is particularly good & the background & subtle lighting to the left of the image is also good stuff. Texture on the suit gets a thumbs up too <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="

I don't know what the artists intentions for this piece was, whether there was an aim for caricature/cartoonishness, or a leaning towards photo-realism. It sits slightly uncomfortably between the two (from my viewpoint) so that some areas remain flat - the suit, collar & tie in the middle of the picture & others lurch out at you - the hand & papers. These approaches don't entirely gel with the style used on the face, where there are outlined areas - eyes & mouth & features that are exaggerated in a cartoon-like way - mouth & teeth. The artist already has a recognisable style, but this piece is evolving into something else. I will be keenly watching to see where this experimentation takes the artist!
