lol, how did you create such shifty eyes:) Your technique on this is really quite a contrast to your other work and presents with much appeal. I especially enjoyed how textural differences are conveyed. Your work on form adds great impact. I enjoyed!

Comment from ikolechko


This is very cool. I love the style, it's unique and doesn't look like other digital works. Very bright personality of the girl shown excellently, interesting colors and tonal blending, great work with textures. Thank you for sharing

Comment from Cephus


Excellent capture of the girl and the light via a rather strang vehicle for a portrait. Visually interesting with the strong color and lines, good composition. Amazing how much life the girl has, once again considering the meda used. Thanks for this great image.

Comment from Debra Flieg


Shawn,
i like this a lot. Expressive and edgy, sort of Manga meets I SPY, anyway, somehow your edgy ones appeal to me the most rather than your everyday subjects. This has a cool grainy quality which does suggest the comic book genre, but more importantly it looks alive to me. Great job with this one.

Comment from DrCArt222


This one I would have to regard as one of your best, not so much for its media style and color saturation, but certainly for its remarkable characterization. If there is anything that I could ever teach even seasoned professional artists, it would be that STORY and/or CHARACTERIZATION are the ONLY elements that clearly separate illustration from true art. Indeed, the express purpose of art is to convey some manner of communications, but only that which is borne of the artist's own will and personality.--Dr. Carlton

Just as the picture implies a runaway. The title says it all with the art work to match. Very impressive indeed. You have told the story with the sneaky eyes as if she is watching every movement around here trusting no one. Very well done

    Thank you so much for such a beautiful review, Sandy! I wondered what happened to you. I haven't seen Bec either for quite a while. Wait 'til you get those glasses off. You are really going to enjoy painting so much more now. Thank you again for the review, and stay well my friend.

    Thank you. I have to wear these sunglasses for the glare until the eye heals. I was just thinking wow how much I will see in my art now. Everything is so bright and beautiful. Will take about 4 weeks to get everything into focus properly. Will get the left eye done next year. Everything went like a breeze didn't have one pain. The specialist was so pleased with it all.

    Thanking you for the well wishes will be back in force soon...........Sandy

    Hi, I was looking for any new art from Bec and couldn't see any so that solved the problem. It is so great to see everything so bright and clear. Just think what art I will be able to do. Here come all the feathers..........Sandy
