Geisha Girl

Another piece I am still currently working on, done with the figure but I am very unhappy with the shadow and also plan to add in some kind of out of focus background, if anyone has any ideas or crits feel free to comment!

This is a color study for a personal project, I am going to change some of the line weight but other than that any help or advice, suggections would be awesome! Thanks guys

Landscape pastel

Landscape done in chalk pastels. I took a photo of it, so i could make corrections as needed. Any suggestions? Im also wondering what people's thoughts are on the composition. I'm trying new things out.

This is a photo of the piece, not a scan. But I figure you can get the gist of it.

the laviathan

this was an open assignment for advance computer ill. i think i could work on the rocks a little more though. now that i look at them they look rushed or not very clear.

Ill&Wip

Here's something I'm working on just for fun, no where near finish yet.and..
This is my most recent finished illustration. Yes, the pink outline is kind of iffy. The person is a man, in a long mourning jacket. I figured the top hat and the time period would make it so that the long hair isn't too confusing gender-wise.

:edit:
very helpful crits so far, thanks :)

progress...

I'm trying to paint Jesus and I'm using Desmond from Lost as reference and I can't seem to make it less "Desmondy" lol any tips on how to make it look more like Jesus?

This is my sifi piece at the tight sketch phase. It's on the movie, Gattaca. Really good movie, starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. For those of you who havent seen it, it is set in the future where humans are classified as Valid or Invalid dependent on their medical analysis when they are born. When a baby is born it is analysed and the doctors are able to determine the exact date and time it will die along with all other medical issues the human may have throughout it's life. Dependent on whether you are an Invalid or Valid determines what kind of job and in turn, life, you will have. i.e astronauts are usually in perfect predictablitly they will have a healthy life in contrast to someone who is predicted to have heart problems will live his life as a janitor. This movie is about how an Invalid tries to become a Valid. Very kool movie, check it out.

All that being said, crits are much appreciated!!!
