This is absolutely magnificent. I liked the way you used complementary colors on each of them. The green and yellow on the woman, and the blue and purple on man was vibrant. The detail is wonderful. I also liked how you didn't stick to one medium, but used a variety of mediums to accomplish this piece of art. You didn't limit yourself with color either, the explosions of blue, yellow, black, and pink did it for me. I kind of wished the man had an ear or a part of an ear like the woman does.
Please continue painting.

I'm not sure what is meant by the title but I will give you your props where they are due, this piece is absolutely gorgeous! I love that you have two seemingly detailed characters as opposed to the other characters you often do. I also greatly appreciate your amount of color mixtures that seem to simulate fireworks or explosion. Also the colors you used on the faces of your characters fits their facial expressions perfectly. When I think blue, I think soft and neutral and that is exactly what I see on the guy's face. Overall this piece was magnificent.

I was just passing through, adding this to my favs, and I wanted to let you know "Skies on Fire" is the name of a song that these two subjects created. They are called The Green Children, and their music isn't bad. I recommend Skies on Fire and Encounter

So here it goes. This is one of the paintings that caught my eye the most. Your lines are very strong in a soft way, And also you caught the eye expression so well, and that's one of the most difficult things to be done. It's like their eyes pop out from the whole painting, they are so vivid and deep almost as I can see their souls. The stain use complements it perfectly, giving it that ''messy'' effect of the watercolor.
But what I really loved on it, was the color choice you've done! The colors fit together so well, and the contrast they make with their cold faces, is what gives life to it e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
You're a great artist, and you're technique is unique.

This might just be my impression, but the female's eyes look so alive; full to the brim with energy. The male's on the other hand, seem to be staring off in the distance, looking right through the viewer. Mostly likely this is due to the colors that were used around the eyes. Green gives off the impression of vivacity, where blue is mellow, calm, and transparent with emotions. Not to mention, the way the female's head is angled creates the impression that she is in control of her self. She is looking AT us.
I absolutely love the colors. They emphasize the simplicity of the painting itself, drawing attention to the faces of the people. On the note of simplicity, however, I wasn't sure what the painting is trying to convey, if anything. It seems as if it should be trying to communicate something, but I'm not sure what. (I also didn't understand the meaning of the title, but unless it correlates to the concept of the painting, it doesn't matter much.)
Proportions are very good and the subjects are lifelike. I'm not a painter in the least, but I do love the technique of letting the watercolors flow down the painting. It give it another element of dynamic texture.
All in all, beautifully done.

Wow... I'm not a huge fan of this band (even though I find their music is beautiful) But the way you captured their expressions is amazing. The boy's eyes are so intense, and the fact that the girls mouth is slightly open suggests she is just about to say something. The anticipation, colours, lack of colours in places, and just EVERYTHING makes this absolutely amazing.
Nice work, DEFINITELY keep it up!

I don't know how you do it but I always LOVE the expressions in your paintings!
This one might be my favorite.
And, as always, great colors!

hello. I am currently making a yearly planner here in the Philippines. Our planner has no label yet but I am already in the process of making it. And I want to include this particular artwork of yours in the design of our planner.
Our planner will be commercially available all over the Philippines, in major bookstores, and also, online.
This is the first time that I will make a planner for sale and I have no funds yet to hire a graphic artist so I am searching for good artists here in deviant art that can contribute to what I am doing without expecting a payment.
I can send a copy of the planner after I made it. Thanks.
Please send a confirmation on my email account: jamacasieb@gmai.com
