shes a beauty. Hope those dogs of yours are doing well, and thanks again for all the inspiration out in SF. It really helped. After fighting off the pneumonia, the art has really taken a turn for the better. I owe a lot of that to you.

Take care and give the dogs a good pettin for me...

Well I would say the guy in the back looks like Lobo, but he seems kinda like a snoody French man also.

**N8 Van Dyke** · February 12th, 2005, 02:46 AM

Very nice feeling and attitude for superman... not usual.

**behemot5** · February 14th, 2005, 07:22 AM

**Albino Squid** · February 14th, 2005, 12:21 PM

a little mucha's touch for the background ? the mix is really great!

**Rich Pellegrino** · February 14th, 2005, 04:51 PM

amazing! I love the limited color palatte, attitude and compostition. Lots of small things working together in this, especially the line work in the top half. very interesting to look at!

Weird. But cool. And I like it a lot. Love seeing some more, how should I say, not so naturalistic stuff, around. In a good way.

**robo midget** · February 15th, 2005, 11:10 PM

Is it a guy in the back, or has Wonder Woman just let herself go? Great work!

Awesome piece dood! I dont have a clue who that is in the back though. Great texture as well. What is the Mucha-esqe design in the back? is is a squid? Starro? HELP!

**Mr. Visions** · May 9th, 2005, 09:17 PM

The guy in the back is Lobo, intergalactic bounty hunter! I would say he should be a little paler and more .bulky

Hi,
The face is very well paint : I enjoy the variety of colors you put on it, it looks so tangible.
I also like very much your ability for creating strong contrast, alternating clear parts with dark parts, but keeping a correct light source. That's what I'm studying on your painting.
I would be curious to see how you painted superman's face.

Bye.
