[Elwell]

Lookin' great, Sergio.

[rlederer]

These are beautiful

[legionare]

Masterwork! I really like your color tones and professional technique. Thanks for post. Five stars.

[Bill]

I Really like these. Very Very nice.

[Dahami]

I like.

[Pavel Sokov]

All we can do is clap for you!
These are fantastic, but you already know.
The only thing is I like "Grey Pearl" better without the glaze. It kinda toned down the colours and dead-ened it a bit.

I am also impressed with how you were able to get a female friend of yours to pose nude for you. I don't see myself asking any of my female friends other then my gf to do that for me.

[Main Loop]

Thanks all, thank you Dahami, good to see you again.

Pavel, I know what you mean, the color of the glaze is really more true-to-life than the first two steps were... in actuality the painting was never that bright nor pinkish... I am fortunate to a lot of art-model-friends who not only don't mind disrobing, they are ready and willing to be part of my projects...

[DANKA]

Amazing!

"Gray Pearl," 12"x14", oil on canvas.

Just noticed the size on that one, I thought it was tiny. That's some seriously coarse canvas!

[Kvick]

these are really awesome, it's brilliant how you fused together breaking the edges, the floral design, and within that, the concept of the pieces as well. very nice

Oops that's a typo, it's 5"x5"

[Elwell]

OK, good to know I'm not crazy!

[derelic7]

Haha.. Sounds to me like you know what you are doing

[JJacks]

I'm in love with these paintings! Ugh, the patterns flow into the figures almost seamlessly. The second is my favorite!

[sanya]

Very pretty!

[Main Loop]

Haha.. Sounds to me like you know what you are doing

haha... ah you learn a few things after doing this for a while...

[Pigeonkill]

Wall paper tattoos interesting.

[steven6]

Beautiful work. Love'm all.

[thinairart]

Awesome series, really like how you have integrated the background designs into the figures.

[House Hatke]

Your figurative work is really lovely -particularly the sketch you posted. Honestly I would prefer these as straight figure paintings, but it's a neat series.

[Sacari]

These are absolutely stunning. The way you have the tattoo weaving in and out from the backdrop to the figure looks really cool.

[TASmith]

Holy Shit!!! Really incredible painting work, and patterning. These colors are incredible. Very expressive work.

[conte]

awesome idea, man! and so damn fresh.
thanks a bunch for sharing

[P.R]

Great style, love them all!

[zimfin]

These are great! I like them all but in particular no.3 for the way you've painted that arm with those heat shimmer-like moving patterns and no.6 for that beautiful green you used on her left side. Beautiful work.
Good luck with the show!

[ArchDesign]

awesome... love them all!

[Max Martelli]

Very cool. I love the integration of design and figure. Keep up the great work.
