Good
Outline gives that stained glass look, or maybe a little punkish look. I like that, it was a good move.
My only complaint is that I wish all the dripping curves look like the red-orange one at the bottom (looks like its 'leaking') and not like the purple one at the bottom (looks like a lump on the curl).
The lumps look out of place on an otherwise flat feel. And the leaky ones look more consistent.
I was putting speckles on it, when I giant purple glob fell on the purple swirl... I could have picked it up in time, but I kind of like it. (:
Nice.
My new wallpaper. Lol. ^.^
Amazing...
This painting looks great, the outline makes it look alot like a phoenix tail...
So no it was not a bad thing to add, it just increased the detail to the art...
Like a art
YOU DID IT MAN

Wonderful use of colour!
Very bright and chirpy! As for the previous comments regarding orientation, I'm afraid I have to disagree;
I have tried to put my finger on what this painting could be imitating, whether it be an object, a motion or even a situation, but I have found nothing that would serve as a fitting description. The tails of swirls, the bold colours; these things suggest a very energetic entity. But the dripping colour, the bold outlines on the drips; This suggests a very motionless event that exaggerates the time of its existence.
I believe all art has a meaning, and regardless of what I think of it, it is the artist themselves who can truly shed light on the meaning of their own work. Whether they do or not can be down to various reasons and thus it should never be expected. Taking this into account, the "abstract" form that is clearly portrayed in the contrasting effects of this painting should show that this piece of work needn't be tampered with, unless you yourself, the artist, should feel compelled to.
The portrait composition you have chosen reflects everything you have painted and further exaggerates the dripping colours. You mentioned that you had no inspiration in this piece - I think the painting is beautiful and can be examined as an intricately powerful piece of work (Maybe more so than you may have believed).
The only advice I would give you is to try and assess your own feelings, situations and motivations when producing work that has obviously taken you a lot of time and effort (Past, present and future work - It is not always too late to relate back to earlier projects). If you are passionate about your work, this not only gives you the ability to further understand a deeper insight into yourself, but can lead to discovery of underlying feelings/problems that many of us suppress without thinking about it.
Though, by all means, don't become an egocentric hypochondriac because of this advice :P
Thank you for the submission. It is a very interesting piece and I shall continue to ponder to myself for a while, I imagine. Good work!
Ha ha. I appreciate everything you have said. And don't worry. This doesn't give me an ego- I ALWAYS believe there is room to improve. I will never think of myself as good- because we can all get better, and do. From what you've said I can say there is feeling in this. Regardless of the time spent. But it is true, I thought of the image before I started with the pencil. And knew what I was doing.
This makes me very eccentric and is very helpful! No doubt what you have said has sparked enthusiasm to make something more.... Just have to find the right image to put out there! Thank you, and I hope you'll comment on the next piece. (:
