Do you commission work?

 

[Michael Morris]

Reminds me a bit of DiTerzelli as well as several of the artists that have been commissioned to work on Magic's two most recent blocks - Shadowmoor and Lorwyn. Your control of light is very strong, anatomy less so. This is an area you can improve on - it's particularly noticable in the de la tor study.

Overall your compositions seem overly busy - it's hard to find a point of focus in many of them. One way to address this is to push you lighting contrasts further - this is a strength you have and it can be a tool to guide the eye to the piece's focal point.

Mike-
thanks for the critique. you're bang on with contrast. i'm trying to figure how to do it better with my medium....oil pastels. And anatomy, i have to constantly work on.

Very nice work. I really like your Ravenloft piece Gryphon Manor.

The style isn't my personal preference, but it certainly seems to be an actual style and it feels basically cohesive to me. Nice work. Keep plugging away.

eventually a style emerges i'm just not sure if mine has. lol. it's hard to tell sometimes. Obviously some of the stuff in the gallery is very diterlizzi, but it was also meant to be. kudos man
