Does my Art look big in this?

[Dandontdare]

Another one from me but one we all know. A slightly battered and old looking MeanMachine Angel.

I like that Mean Angel.

Sad Mean! Aaaaaah.

[Van Dom]

That is very good Archey...its like "Charles Dickens' Mean Machine". Awww..

Again thanks for the comments, such things really spur me on and inspire me to try harder. I wrote elsewhere here that my art took a bit of a 20 odd year hiatus and these recent months I've taken to reacquaint myself with past skills. As may be obvious I've concentrated on the head and face lately and drawn with a medium I'm really proficient with.

As for a blog Pauul , it'll be in the pipeline at some point I've no doubt but I don't have enough work I'm happy with to start such a thing. I'll keep popping stuff on here and I'll try to contribute to the weekly TAB when I've enough time. All I'll ask in return is some honest thoughts, criticisms etc.

I feel slightly abashed that I've not really commented on others work here so far. I will try harder.

Yep definitely get a blog and a Deviantart gallery - no worries if you don't have much to show now, get up what you have and then update when you can.

Every time I look at this thread, I leave muttering, 'I wish I could Draw'
Great stuff, keep it up.

[NeilFord]

Lovely work everyone, this thread is looking great! Work has been kicking ma baws lately, time is limted for art sadly.

Holidays next week though... yay!

[judda fett]

Great new pieces Archey and Neil.

[Neil McClements]

Yes it's me again, sorry  .

Love the new picture as always Neil. You never fail to imbue a sense mystery and foreboding in you darker images.
Seeing your work and many other's here (but mainly yours) has constantly encouraged me.
A pencil work here, borrowed heavily from Boris Karloff the original inspiration for the man himself, I present Kano.

I will make a copy and pen this in at some point.

[Neil McClements]

Oops cocked that up! wheres the edit button gone?

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Cocked what up?

And using Bela Lugosi as a model is a stroke of genius

[Neil McClements]

Meant to post the image in the post above that one but something went wrong and its Boris Karloff not Lugosi. 

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

You are correct sir. I cocked that up

[Emp]

Looks a very serene Kano....disturbingly so!

[NeilFord]

Thanks for the kind remarks dudes. Love that Kano, looks great matey!

Young Darth from me, bit of a WIP - hope to paint him up later in the week, that may be wishful thinking though!

A wonderful piece Mr Ford. Love me a piece of Star Wars and this hits it perfectly.
Just don't forget the scar over his right eye. And it's young Vader. Darth is the Sith title.
How about a Royal guard in battle pose for your next piece.
