"The green platform. Although the hues from left to right are soft and balanced and they run very smoothly, the metal parts (I'm guessing they're metal parts, I don't really know what they are), or rather, the middle clear stripe can use more shadows to the right and some light sparkles on the top so I know what material it is.

The sand? I'm guessing it is sand whats running from the top of the building. If it is, I recommend you using some desert references to see how the sand melts with the air and it diffuses with distance from the ground. I feel the movement, the direction and the strength of it, but I don't know really know if it is sand or not.

The woman is pretty much OK. Just few things here and there that have to do with perspective. The top part would be a little bit thinner if you look from below (like the drawing), also the tighs would be a little bit bigger. The detail on the cloth is impressive!!! But, you can do some work on folds; even when the cloth is very tight to the body, some parts have folds (like when elbows are bent or the knees ... in general all the joints that connect the body). Also, you can reconsider the right leg. It doesn't quite match the left one, specially on the buttock. [...]"

The angel of destruction by Pianocanival

And God said: Thank you, Satan.The man with ten fingers, Fingerman, woke up without his head. He sat on the bed, slowly; and reached for his glasses next to him. They fell on the bed, and then to the ground. He was to reach them when he noticed his head was missing. Panic entered the room, with a hot beverage on her left hand, and threw the cup to the piano-pattern, black and white, bedspread. Figerman jumped from the bed, burnt by the liquid, and fell on the wooden floor near his glasses. Panic left the room.
Crawling, he made it to the drawers and pulled what felt like some pants and a shirt. It was a very cold winter day. He grabbed a sweater and a big jacket, and stepped out of his room. Clothes in one hand, Fingerman hit everything in neurotic fashion around the house; dropping medicines from the first-aid kit in the bathroom; cups, glasses, vases and plates in the kitchen; CDs, porcelain figurines and the TV on the living room, searching for his head. The head was not to be found in the house.
Finally, he mana

" At a first glance everything looks good until you go for a closer inspection. There are a few things I have noticed though that you could improve on:

Personally I think there are too many shy/awkward teenager body language stuff. Body language comes in clusters, but moderation (like everywhere) is a key. Fiddling with his necklace and averted eyes is a good touch, but the feet are too obvious. Perhaps I'm wrong, but let me ask you this - how often can you glimpse inside someone's soul by merely looking at them for a sec? Sure, they may reveal something, but it's never too obvious even for a shy/awkward teenager. Of course, that's debatable, but I wish body language was that easy to decipher

Next up is his jacket. You told me once or twice that you "dress" your guy as you go along, but his clothes are such a tight fit across the middle and on the side that has his hand up, which makes me question why the other side of the jacket looks as if he's wearing one that's two sizes too big for him. Perhaps that's to add emphasis on his shy and awkward nature - but I don't know. I'd erase that line beyond his arm - I think he would look much slimmer and better. [...]"

Commented on dream or nightmare? by HeartySpades.

"This piece really stuck out to me with what's currently in the gallery, which is great! I think I was just drawn to the organic shapes, and the nice contrast that is in this painting! I like how you included the work in progress shots in the description too, I am interested to see how the piece has changed! I was going to comment that the swirling pattern in the middle of the piece reminded me first of a spiral staircase, and then of a double helix! But looking at the WIP it originally had more of a perspective and there the shape reminds me of a candle! Very cool!

I didn't notice it at first but like I said after I looked at the WIP and then back at this it does feel a little flat now. All of the shrubbery sort of gets rid of the depth and all of the background colors just look like they are all on one plane to me. Which is fine if that's what you were going for! And if not, then its something you can possibly work on for next time. [...]"
