Lines look ok, but shading is bad and fill is patchy.

Tho I think people on here can be a bit funny about you posting up others work for critique without their permission.
Is there any reason why you have??

- rules state that u may not post work from any other artist but yourself unless used as referance but u cant post anothers work for crit

but about the work its bad .... lineworks alright but fill it patchy and gradients are almost non existant .. i think ur asking this because ur thinking of apprenticing under him/her ... i would not

I moved this to what technically can be the right section. For now. I don't want to go look up the rules, and unless someone wants to link that rule to me, I'll just leave it until another Mod decides otherwise. smile.gif

My thoughts? I wouldn't get tattooed by that guy.

I too thought that others work was not supposed to be posted without their consent.

sorry but from my understanding the rule states no posting of other peoples work with the intention of slander or bullying (**new Rule - No Posting Of 3rd Party Images, Links With The Intention Of Slander Or Bullying**), I don't think that is the case here, it looks like he was merely asking opinions on his local artist's work, maybe he was considering going there for work or apprenticeship?

Personally i wouldn't post work without permission of the artist, BUT i think this one is up to the mods, maybe keep it up until people start giving harsh critique rather than just opinions?

After all if this artist work was good (bob tyrell, guy aitchison good) i don't think anyone would have a problem with it being posted (or linked to)?

Well, Tez stated that he got his feedback, and the thread served it's purpose for him. I decided to remove the images, but have it saved in case it's decided to put them back. After reading the link Stuart posted, I decided to play it safe and take the images down. If the Mods approve of the images going back up, they'll go back up. smile.gif
