I dnt want to keep repeating myself, but these are wonderful. Technically of course but they have light and warmth, personality. Many artists can render a good likeness and textures, but breathing life into that creation is something else entirely. I agree with Van!
Dave Martsolf, 8 days ago
I agree with everyone. The light is harsh and with the white background in that regard the work is not inviting, but that same harshness provides the tension that co-exists with the desire to enter at all costs due to the magnificence of the rendering skill. This skill gives the sense of life in the subject. It makes for a heightened awareness, resulting in a successful conclusion.

Yes, it’s awkward and alive. Awesome skill in rendering, but I think even more skill in adding that extra something within the composition that infuses interest and makes ppl stop to look.
