Artist's Comments

Sarah and Jareth, characters from Labyrinth.

I wanted to test out my painting skills and see if they had improved since last time, and I think they have. I also think patience is the key, and taking breaks away from the computer! I'm very proud of this painting. It encourages me to do more!

Constructive criticism welcome (the key word here being CONSTRUCTIVE).

Please don't steal or use w/o permission. Even tho the characters aren't mine, this image is.

you should do more! it looks awesome :dance:

i love it when it does not look totally real and much more like a painting :D

though 1 thing i noticed that they do not pop-out of the background, its like they are part of the wall

though shading and colors are great :D

hmm - well do you have any ideas for making them "pop"?

thanks for the comment!

Nice work! It really looks like an painting this way, not just an copy from an photograph.

I don't think it's needed but if you want to pop them out some more, you could paint the darkest shadows darker, and make some highlights brighter.

Again i am not sure if it would be that great tho, it's already fine the way it looks now.

Great work!

See you around!
