Great piece of artwork!

Outstanding job!

The only flaw that I can see is his neck. It's looks a little ... off to me. I think it's the shadowing now that I think about it. Since the angle of the light is coming from above, I think there should be a darker shadow on the area of his neck close to his thyroid since his bearded chin would normally block most of the light at that angle.

There's always room for improvement, so I thought I'd shine some light(pun intended! :P) on what to work on next.

Reminds me of my Betta ...

I once had a betta I named Jack that died when I was 12, and I was so sad when he went. I loved him so much that I dug a grave in my backyard for him with a little tombstone. It's still there to this day too.

I put him in a big tank with lots of other fish and they all got along fine. :) Even though Bettas are territorial, it didn't seem like he minded sharing his space. I remember whenever I used to come into the room, he always swam to the front of the tank and seemed like he was greeting me.

He was special, and I'll remember him forever. T-T

Just an unrelated comment ...

Why is it that all I see on the art portal is people marking encouraging comments and compliments as useless? Even if someone has nothing they think they can suggest to make the artist's drawings more appealing, they are offering their true opinions on the drawing they are commenting on.

Compliments in general make the person being complimented more inspired to create more work for their audience, so should encouraging others to do their best be considered useless? Think about that.

Also, to have your comment considered useless could hinder your desire to draw due to the fact that others see your knowledge of art to be wrong. There is no "right" way to draw. For example, take those pictures in some art museums that sell for thousands of dollars and all it is is a completely black canvas with clever captions. Art is a way of expressing your emotions and what you as a person believe in, and also a way of showing your inner creativity. To see art in general as being just one thing is wrong.

Mark comments as useless if they are actually useless. I find it a bit offending to the art community.

Great work by the way. I especially like the bloody tone at the bottom. It gives an evil sort of feel, kind of as if he had some sort of dark secret in his own heart. I dunno why ... But he sort of reminds me of Axel from Kingdom Hearts.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece with us. I would love to eventually see more of your work. :)

Jeezus...

How long have you been drawing for? I've looked at all of your art, and it is just amazing. I'm an artist myself, but I'm not nearly as good as this. Beautiful tone and texture, and nothing much I can see that needs improving on. Stunning, absolutely stunning.

5/5
