Artist's Comments

This is a painting I did for a friend. I've always loved Dark Phoenix, and was really pleased to have opportunity to paint her! It's painted on canvas in acrylic and normal household emulsion. I hope you guys will tell me what you think!

Thanks!! You art has a very vibrant, striking visual quality- bold use of colour and design shows you're not afraid to go for it. I tend to get a bit...prissy, I guess!! But we all have different approaches. Phoenix is one of my personal faves :)

thanks for checking out my work and also for the comments, and there is nothing wrong with being a little more prissy as you put it, it certainly works for you as your artwork is fantasticly detailed and the use of colour is perfect, look forward to seeing more

This is very cool. The colors are very vibrant. :nod: I've always appreciated those who can paint. I never did have the patience to learn to paint to where I had any skill at it. ;) It's so messy. I was lazy and stuck with the pencils. heh heh.

Good job! I'd love to see your take on Batman. :nod:

Mmm, this is wonderful! I love Phoenix and this piece was a joy to look at. I love the detail you put on her, especially on her sash and boots.

One thing - do you scan in your paintings or take photographs of them for dA submission? This seems a little out of focus, like your computer zoomed into it too close to it. You can see a grain-like texture throughout the image, too. Was that intentional or perhaps it was the texture of the paper?

Hi- thanks, glad you like the painting.

It was scanned- not sure if the scanner was a good one tho!

The texture is because it was painted on canvas, not paper. I'm an old-fashioned boy :) I like the texture coming through.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up! I suppose I'm too used to the smoothness of a lot of paintings on dA. I don't think there's a lot of canvas work here (though I could be wrong).
