hahah!! that's awsome Tiff, Tom's a lucky guy.. haha. brilliant. Love the kitty one too. Well, when do I get mine?

[poise]

Min you have to post on the Doo thread in WIP section to get a sketch it is the only way. haha!
thanks all ok I need to stop posting without any sketches thats just cheating, or shall I see how long I can keep mine at the top, haha!

[Icon]

Yo.

I guess it would just be a matter of time, on when I would discover your sketch thread....although your sig had he link, not much of a discovery there, but anyways, well worth the click!

Your work is too good, and the frightening fact is that is only bound to get better!

Ah this inspires me to work hard!

I know it sounds like a broken record , but hey it's the truth!

So, did you decide on going to canada?? :3

[Helzon]

Please...for all the love of mercy tell me you have an industry job. Then please tell me where I can see your work. Because if you don't have one then the industry is out of it's mind not to come running to your door.
I think agog about sums things up but know that my synapses are giving you great big hugs. This body of work is incredible. Thank you for sharing it with us on CA. Can't wait for the next update.
Cheers!

[Alday.J]

I'm really, REALLY impressed by the strong updates you made here, Tiffany. Wow ! All this pictures are cool, but the "Vampy Kitty" [what the hell is that strange creature ? Hahaha !] is absolutly awesome !
Sorry: AWESOME !!!
I hope that I can see this one pushed in colors, one day !

I don't know who is your friend, but I'm glad you two have this running gag ! More, Mademoiselle !
Cheers.
J.
P.S: Yeah, Min ! Poise is right ! You have to post in the Doo... Thread. That's the only way.

[loomer]

Man - I'm such a lame fanboy of your art...
There's just something so addicting about it...and I don't think it has much to do with the technical (although you excel there too) - You just make pictures people want to look at. Damn...
I am reluctant to admit I love that freak girl with the giant vagina , giant head, big ears, and bloated tummy. What a fuckn' freak! But yet the drawing is done so beautifully it makes it all alright
I also love the vamp kitty from the doo thread...those are some sick lines..are they inked? Man..and you draw the best fuckn cats.. I know I've said it before. Rock awn girl
Oh- I don't have any pics of the paintings yet (except for a studio shot I just posted in my sketchbook) but I can email ya some other stuff I got going on

[vigostar]

Im with Artguy with the funny and creepy comment... great work Tiff... Looking foward to that new master painting!

[sabe2003]

Outstanding!
I enjoy your loose line work. Nice development of style too!

[Danomight]

Nice work stinky pants!! I especially like the top one, extra nice.

[afgal]

I really like your style. Especially the green with envy piece.

[Idiomatic]

Great work since I last checked in! And I think I've finally put my finger on what's going on here (and it's now so clear to me that I could kick myself) - most illustrations and sketches have an obvious viewpoint, a 'camera' or an eyeline that guides the composition and either shapes or is reflected in the attitude of the focal subject, ie the subject is 'aware' of the viewpoint, even if it's an inanimate object. It's often unavoidable - for an inanimate object, the artist naturally looks for the most interesting viewpoint; for a character, the same is true, and the subject can't help but be aware of the observer as well (even in a fantastic construction - the subject is composed with the observer in mind). Most of your sketchwork somehow dodges that trap, or seems to catch the moment when the subject becomes aware of the viewpoint. It's really neat. . . reminds me of a genre painter's approach. My only complaint, of course, is that I want to see more. . .

[Ashrumm]

Great rythm green with envy is awesome. i'm digging that lots cannot wait to see more of your work. Great sketchbook.

[Interceptor]

Junebug! Lillypad! Japanese Bagel Eater!

Tiffany. I will use my 2,000th post for you.

Great pieces, you have been the best thing to happen to my growth as an artist. I appreciate all the crits and ideas. And for being a fantastic friend alongside that.

I love that first image in your last sketch dump. Awesome costumes, and those HANDS!!! niiiice.
Keep up the great work! And you owe it to yourself to come to Montreal, think of yourself for once, yeesh

[Sigurd]

Hey Poise

I'm just looking at your stuff for the first time. It stands out from some of the other technically excellent work because (I think) it has feeling.

I really love the 7th picture you posted, of the mother in medieval garb holding her baby in the air. (herion.jpg) Something about the heavyness in her breasts makes me believe she's a mother and the warmth on her face is really kind. I'd love to see you add colour and more warmth to some mother child shots.

Your style is clean and your lines are good. I'd love to see you try something like pastels or broad messy colours to lend vibrancy and shape to your georgous round figures. Every piece in which you've used colours seems to pop from the rest of your collection.

Still, my favourites are your treatment of nudes and motherhood. I find them very warm and a pleasure to see.

What would you do with some Father, child or small family pictures?

Thanks.

Sigurd

[Alday.J]

I like your SP drawings... Except that you look better in real life ! [runaway]
More seriously: the last one is very good, I love your style on this one. Your ink stuff is jewel.
Keep posting !
J.

[rodrigo!]

consider me a huge fan man i love your work
amazing stuff! so loose and fluid, relaxed...its brilliant..
deinfitely an inspiring sketchbook!

[SirGreenSock]

Very nice brushpen work, the thin hatching works great. Gonna have to try that out sometime.

[sve]

Hello, Tif. You are making me fell in love wit this brush ink. and I'm rough ink kind of person. But it is way too elegant to stay indifferent. Starting from the same feeling provoking in men and women wimpy kitty to portraits of people. Lovely, airy, virtuoso. The portrait of Greg Manchess is brilliant, striking similarity, and feeling of personality is strong, in this warm features and inspired hair,
Like the portrait of Jon Foster wife with her very dramatic eyes, a bit wild, so to speak, so much emotion in it. She looks like a very sensitive, vulnerable person and very much introvert.
Like the portrait of the students, especially the last one. very spiritual faces.
About your SP, almost unrecognisable, but there is something from you in the sketch of the nose and lips and in the glance from the portrait on my left.
