bozo the clown

on: July 03, 2006, 02:08:56 pm
Here's something I did while waiting for something. I'm annoyed with the outline everything in black way of doing graphics.
So I'm using less black outlines in this piece.



What do you guys think about the picture? The dog head is a bit offensive i know ....
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

Looking at someone elses post (wade sig) and saw a really cool reference picture. Couldn't resist doing one myself.
Its a cool reference picture becuase there is a bright light on top, his white shirt reflects light and his skin is shiny.



There the reference picture:

I think your D Wade looks much much better than the ref picture, very cool.

I like your sense of contrast.....no real crits so far.

Thxs Conciet.
Alex PMed me a good edit, and I've tried changing the clown's pallete according to his
advice. I think it looks better.
