Art New Artwork (Energy V1, V2, Woman, BBSoldiers)

[Sun]

It's been awhile since i've been at the OB, and most may not remember me. I've been bored lately since there was a really big earthquake in Hawaii, and there's not much to do around here since roads are blocked. I decided to drop by the OB and introduce some of my latest artwork.

[COLOR=DarkRed][size=1]I remember you ^__^ I was wondering where you had gone off to...

[b]Energy V1[/b] - I like the font for 'Rising Sun,' although the placement of it I'm not so sure of. It just gets a bit difficult to see when it gets to the right edge, and kind of annoys me. I like the words in white (they're quite clever ^_^), although the font could be more interesting, but simplicity works there too. I'm really not a fan of the complete white in the corner, although I do understand the effect that you're trying to portray - still, I'm not sure if it had to be that drastic...kind of blinding (but it may just be my monitor). However, the colors are done nicely.

[b]Energy V2[/b] - Not really a fan of this one, even though it's very similar to the first one. The colors just don't stand out to me on this one, and there's this thick column of...paleness? running down through the picture that doesn't match up - it just makes odd lines with everything else. The bottom right corner doesn't really appeal to me either, since...it wouldn't really make sense, with your sun right above it.

[b]Woman - Evangeline Lilly[/b] - I've only seen one episode of Lost, so I can't really say much about the character. I really like the background of the right side of the piece (reminds of a bag I have), although I think you could have made the left side more interesting - not necessarily making it identical, but perhaps something that matches more (just so it doesn't seem so broken), like perhaps having the right side extend and fade, if you wanted that simpler space for the large words. I'm not quite sure what my opinion is on your sig yet...although the box seems just a little random to me. Also, the letters don't look the same yellowish color as the other block, so it sets it off a bit. But I do like how you arranged the letters.

[b]Broken Boy Soldiers[/b] - A very interesting image. It reminds me of something out of [i]Black Hawk Down[/i], but that's just because I watched it again last night. Overall, it's a very good piece, and I like it very much. Everything being so muted, it's like you mixed modern war with an old acrylic painting - the effect is very...well, it makes me reminiscent, and I applaud your title. I think the only thing that is odd to me is the smaller soldier, because he looks like he's either floating, or as if he's some kind of small doll that the other soldier is holding. Very nice piece, though.

Glad you're back. It's always a pleasure seeing your pieces.[/size][/COLOR]
