Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!
I'd be honored!
And to be fair to Josh, I think he did a great job on Scully.
I think his style always runs towards the dramatic, and I for one like that about him. It's why some of his subjects are so dynamic. Scully is less so normally, but Josh brings to her his personal style, and so she has this intensity to her that another artist wouldn't have done perhaps. I like that. I might make her a little softer. (Although she was a punk chick in her youth...) I think the way he painted her, and posed her in that set of photos, is a no-holds barred example of Josh's style. Fetching as hell yet dark somehow. The "Dark" Scully. Who else says Yummy!
I would know a Darkartist paintup at a glance. That is what having a style is all about. So, that is good. And for what it's worth Josh, and not to sound contrary to what Darren said, as I understand it for what he meant, I like your occasional "zombie eyes" look too, as I think they work well on dark characters. Your Anakins are hard to beat my man! He for sure had that look. Almost always.
Anyway, I see more and more a personal style developing in Josh's work. He learned much from me I can see, but I have seen his older, very personal artworks that predated our meeting. And they reflect somehow in his newer paintups. I am not sure how, but they do. And again, some of his work is so striking, and so personal, that you almost don't know how to react to it. Very graphic. Very...dark. He named himself well.
Sorry to go on so, but you guys all need to see more of his works. His 2-D stuff is amazing and if this makes any sense, any of it would make a cool tattoo. Not sure why, but it would. Very graphic and designy...shapes, dark lines, shadows....cool stuff!
So, you just keep on rocking, Josh. I have shared much knowledge with you, and you with me, and I am grateful for this exchange. And I see you taking all you have picked up and how you filter it through your own mind's eye, and am always amazed at what different results I see when you are done.
Keep that up. That original style. Don't listen to anyone. (I don't mean the occasional well intended creative critique), Just keep being you and you will always get the results you seek.
That is what is making your work shine. See the responses! That speaks for itself.
I'd be honored!
