First off, I'm extremely glad to see that you were able to survive your way through college. Perhaps once things
start to settle down and you've got several job aspects sought after, maybe we could chat a bit more and catch up
sometime. I have missed our crazy conversations full of awesome and Hobbits going to Isengard.
One thing that's absurdly distinct about this piece is the difference in art style than what's demonstrated in
the past. I don't know if this is in part due to your partner, but I actually rather like it. The style itself is
slightly reminiscent of something-or-another from the Playstation 1 days, of which I cannot remember for the slightest
right now but I absolutely adore it. It's probably one of the things I admired most about your work. You constantly
strive to push boundaries and get better and better, and with just several hours of work you created something that
shows not only a great distinction from what you've done before, but also chaotic beauty.
So obviously I really like the whole art style, but what about the rest of the piece? Well, that's just as glorious
as well. The barrage of darker colors mixed in with some primaries really gives it that extra pop. It really reminds of
the whole grunge era, except on a whole different scale. Those feathers have sort of an ethereal beauty to them, and I
completely dig that. I get the impression the character is some time of warrior or goddess/Valkyrie. However, it's
that abstract style design to the left of the character that I absolutely adore. The placement, the amount of shade
given to create depth, and the pattern of it really just fits the mood. It's like a battlefield and the aftermath
is represented in a surreal manner. I'm probably going way beyond what the actual concept is, but that's the
image it creates.
So you think it's meh, and ok, but dear gosh does this blow my mind. First thing I see when I wake up in the
morning, is this, and I know my whole week is going to rock my socks off. Absolutely stunning selection of colors and
truly a sign that you know your way around a canvas. By far one of my favorite pieces from you for so many reasons.
