[Water on mars]

Awesome piece of art! Maybe her hands seem a little bit too small, otherwise I really like the whole concept and the composition! Really nice color contrast!

[Hippopotamuses]

Such an amazing work! A really interesting technique, I love how soft the texture/shading is! :) Also they look SO adorable and contented! :D

Thanks, i appreciate it, their expression was part of what drew me to this image :)

[Is copying a photograph considered art? - Black&White Series #5]

Whoa, this looks amazing so far, very realistic! :O I never tried this reversed drawing technique, white on black! The amount of detail is just awesome! And it's an interesting question, I used to copy from photos a lot as well (e.g. my butterfly drawing)! I think I learned how to draw a lot of things when copying photos! :) It makes you think about what you see (all the shapes and colors...) and how you could transfer it to paper/canvas so that it looks as realistic as possible!

SammFoxx responds:

Aw thank u! :D You should give it a go, it has been a fun experience trying to work with the shading in this and for the first time ever my white pencil got more use than it could ever have haha

You do raise a valid point which comes from the 'practice makes perfect' ideology and how one could learn to understand concepts of shading and placement :) very cool, thanks for sharing your expression!

[Ariline, the Brooding Maiden]

Such an original concept! It has a really nice sad/creepy ratio! :) I like the coloring and shading a lot, and the way you emphasized her being the focal point by making everything around her darker :) Amazing piece!

[Chasing the Polaris[c]]

I love how bright and happy this piece is! I like the choice of colors, they give the right icy feeling to the whole scene! Maybe I'd darken the shadows of the log and the creature itself since the light shining from behind them is so intense, but otherwise, I have nothing more to say! :D Amazing work!

StarksNotDead responds:

Thank you very much for the detailed comment!:)
Well I also think that the fact that the commissioned character was blue-violet and snow shadows are usually blue-violet take away a lot of contrast from the piece, but nothing I could do about that x)

[COLOROFLOSS]

Newbie here welcoming a newbie! :D Seriously though, welcome! I think you did a great job on this and am happy that you decided to enter the contest! Seeing the number of different takes on the same piece is really cool...AND you created such an interesting backstory to it as well, I really like the idea of the souls floating around them! Also, it's very original with the fluorescent effect! Pretty nice work! :)

SammFoxx responds:

haha hi newbie, and thanks for the welcoming :D aw im glad you liked the piece and the backstory <3 I won't lie seeing the other entries did make me shy from entering but hey its always exciting to get feedback and learn from it. Let's keep in touch through insta! :D

[Apples]

Such an interesting piece! I really like the texture and the color scheme + the lighting...gave me some Snow White vibes tbh! :D Great work!
