I love it Kraig! I think this one is my favorite out of all the portraits you've done for me. I love the psychedelic colors in the background, it's so me, haha. I'd be delighted if you'd finish it =D

Love this one, primarily because I have the hots for Greta.
The portrait of the toddler is just plain proportionall terrible though, sorry. I did like that warm portrait, useless boy, and shine 02.

Thanks, haha. I know about the porcelain doll/toddler one. =P Thanks for commenting.

Cool, I can't believe you still have an NG account. I'll finish it later. =]

Hurrah for taking a shot!

Im glad to see you working again bmk, been ages. You should work less with low opacity and make some desticnt areas in your pictures though, they're hard to grasp since theres no real area where i can rest my eyes, you know what i mean?

But as allways, you have your unique way of expressing yourself, that i could recoginze anywhere. Keep at it.

Amazing job Kraig!
I like your art, alot!!!
Keep it up!

I like your style, good job.

Here's a poor Greta Garbo

I retract "little to big" with a "little far apart" sorry for the double post just rather not have a suggestion not say its intended meaning.

Yeah, it didn't work out so great though, so I moved on to other things... lol.

Thanks a ton Karl. Good advice, I'll see what I can do. I usually leave the opacity at 100% and let the pressure sensitivity take over, but I'll definately take your comments into consideration. =}

Yeah, I'm working on (always working on) translating others pictures to my images, anatomy always suffers unless I use a grid... =P

inspired by the fact that artists tend to either be hobnobbing, pretentious assholes or humble dreamers who just want to do what they want to do. Maybe you can imagine which I aspire to be.

ideally; the artist

So the thread is alive again, yay.
And for the pink guy, I like it, looks very good, your style is awesome.

Quick Flash self portrait.

you my friend, are hairy

nice self portrait, it's got that great sketchy quality to it that you pull off really well

Lol. Yes, I stopped caring about my outward appearance some time ago. Thanks.

Smoking vector:

nice vector, what made you want to do something so clean? pretty much everything i've ever seen from you has been uber sketchy, it's funny seeing something like this from you

Thanks. I don't know what prompted it, really.

More stylized self-portrait...

...or, at least, it was on Saturday...

that's tight, i really like how the clothes turned out, the ear looks out of place though, it's a little big, i know it's stylized but nothing else was exaggerated that much so it looks out of place

Thanks, cap'n. Yeah, I thought I was doing something good making my ear all huge, maybe I should tone it down next time. =]

those lips are juicy! Somethings a tad off about her left eye though...can't quite put my finger on it though

Well, either that or the right one.. They are not the same size.. ´Lazy eye or not, she is still hot :D

Yeah, I did notice that something is off about it, I may go back to it later, thanks. =]

I really like it! It seems that you chose to give way to composition over naturalism. I also dig the skintones, they help to link the beholder to the subject painted. Very good.
BTW, you seem to have really interesting acquaitances...

Is BMK the last punk on earth?

It's only that your friend gives me fond memories of "Honor Among Punks", a comic book by Guy Davis.

Lol, thank you... I dunno about being the last punk anywhere, I'm just me. =]

The face looks like amazing as always, but i feel like her breasts are two small, not that she has to have big tits, but they just look disproportionate

I concur. Her right breast is a bit too high,
Anyway, I'm impressed. Your work is really improving, Black.

Yeah, there's something wrong in that area, you're right about that.
