How wonderfully passive agressive.

Passive agressive's my middle name baby

Anyways, I didn't intend any of this to come out as an accusation. Secondly, I did not say you were around to "solely" blow me away, consider that statement more like the second part of your post concerning me requesting to see more of your art. Obviously we're all busy with other things in our life and should not be concerned with some virtual social gathering message board. What I assumed would be taken as a compliment has now been taken as an accusation, which is fine, I too will be adult about this and not take some sort of stand, as I have nothing to stand up for here. I'm glad you responded how you did, and allowed me to re-read my own post and make this one to try and ameliorate my statements thusly.

Anyways, I never intended to hoarde this thread with my own musings about Helm   So I would appreciate it very much Helm if maybe this discussion could be continued in the form of PM's or if you could at least direct me towards some of your more recent art.




To make this less of a takeover, I will try my best to make some more in-depth critiquing of your work:

The dithering used in the sky is kind of obvious, which contradicts with how well you've used it in other places, such as the boat.

The lightning looks really awesome, but the clouds right now look really flat. Maybe you could consider making them look less 2-D, since they're the only thing that are THAT 2-D looking. Perhaps give them a slightly less solid look, so the sky/moonlight can seep through, kind of like how real clouds do sometimes when they're thinner. Either that, or since the water is REALLY rough, consider adding way more clouds and make it look like the storm is all around the scene, right now it kinda looks like it's off in the distance. The stormy weather you're portraying doesn't look like it could generate the kind of waves we're seeing.

Anyways, I think that's about it from me for now, this piece has come a long ass way.

What the fuck Snake... those are intense

How do you pump out such excellence in such a short amount of time?

The way this has been developing, the whole feel of it has changed drastically. I think it looked a lot better when the shading was dark and eerie. Now it just seems really flat and uninteresting. I think you could make this nice and creepy if you go back a bit towards the old kinda face.

Yup...

Don't hurt me with dead kittens pls...

And because of that i thought i'd make this little thing to secure my defence from that fate.



Salvador Dali's clocks in sprite form? 
(Obviously as it walks the hands of the clock spin and globs of it drop off...)

Holy crapcakes larwick, this is what I live for. Dali makes my heart melt, PLEASE animate this.

I might do Meditative Rose or Les Elephants by Dali I think. I just bought posters of both so I have a good point of reference. In any case, I'll see what I can do, since I'm on a laptop and I don't know how well that will work out for colouring. Might Have to buy a mouse or soemthing today.
