I love the imagry and the down to earth yet dreaming way you’ve approched your medium and subjects. I’m not blowing smoke here. What touched me right away about your angel was the humanity in Death, the compassion expressed and backed up my the little descriptive blurb at the bottom of the gallery pic. I’m also a stickler when it comes to drawing wings.

If you don’t mind the constructive critisism, I’m relieved you gave them so much more attention and worked on giving each feather individuality. The only thing that’s off is the leading edge of the wing from the top of the ‘wrist’ down that looks like it’s covered in small covert feathers much farther down than would be on a real wing. Since I read how you strive for realism I thought I might point that out. Otherwise everything else, from the baby’s proportions to the shape of the hands are wonderfully done.

I have a friend going to the acadamy of art institute in San fransisco who’s hoping to learn how to do what you do and get a job very much like yours some day. She’s met some very interesting people in the industry, like Jim Byrne who helped pioneer some lighting techniques in CG I’m told. Since you specialize in lighting, I plan on directing her to your blog and artwork. Hopefully, she can learn some tips from your tutorials.

Well since it looks like I’ve written a mini novel, I’ll close with saying it’s been a joy and a pleasure checking out your site and I look forward to seeing more of your work. take care.

I particularly like the halo, without which it might seem a lot more sinister.

The angel has a demeanour of melancholy, or regret?

Anyway, what the hell do I know, I’m not an artist. But I do think it’s fab.
