| The first one, hilariously wierd, especially since, considering the shape of Disco's head, I would have cast him as the balloon, HO HO HO.
Also, you handle cartoony hands quite well, a fuck sight better than I ever could. I'm not saying don't work on that, (you should know better than I that constant practice and self improvement is key to any artistic field...),but I am saying that, to my massively critical eye, those hands are quite adequate. It's nice to see an artist with a knowledge of their own percieved shortcomings though.
The second image, I'm interpreting as Balloon Head Ameer bursting and that makes me all sad. :(
Pose is good, fucking LOVE that face in the sun, so much character in him. For the most part it feels a little stale, yet another "pot = inspiration" gig, which is quite hypocritical of me I guess, considering I spent a good stretch of 10 years in a constant cloud of weed smoke, rolling around on the floor with a guitar at band practice, clanking out noise and feedback with very little talent and getting nowhere, BUT HEY, I WAS INSPIRED MAN.
I like it, it's well realised, but it feels like a bit of a doodle. Fucking classy, top drawer doodle that puts a lot of people who make money out of art to shame, but a doodle none the less. Then again, Kate Beaton's stuff is nothing but loose, sloppy doodling and I love the fuck out of it, so there's no shame there at all.
Christ, reading that back, I fucking suck as a critic and I realise I'm overanalysing quickie goof offs, but seriously, there's a germ of good stuff in your work that bears analysis. ------------------ Maindrian and Touge's videos of vague annoyance - Est. 2007 |
