My god these are yummy! Love that marble floor on the second last one

How did you get it like that?! I can't stop looking at it!

**RyanRyan** · January 11th, 2011, 06:59 AM

environments and lighting = good

**TomBaker** · January 11th, 2011, 07:25 AM

Thanks for the comments

Ladyknowles there was nothing special to it really I just dropped in the suggestion of reflections.

They're really nice, I love the dragon one! And the very first one too, adding in that person beside the robot suggest an interesting story there.

Thanks a lot,

yeah its amazing how a little squiggle can change a picture, without that there would be no sense of scale.

Perspectives off in a couple of them... but i already told you that. DO YOU NOT LEARN BAKER???

Sweet paintings! I don't know what kind of brushes you're using but almost all of those seem too blurred/glowy, it takes away the focus from whatever guy/creature you have in the foreground (especially in the dragon and little yellow alien pic). The 'Image Bar' one is by far my favorite

It's so simple but atmospheric, as if I could find that place somewhere in Manhattan xD.

your work is good but most of your pieces are too saturated in color, real life colors are not always so saturated, I had this same problem when I started, also remember whatever is further away will be less saturated and has more atmosphere between the viewer so it will be usually bluer and faded away.
keep it up

**Partisan** · January 29th, 2011, 06:15 AM

I have to contradict some of the guys above ^^ shapes, and linework and saturation are not so much of interest right now ... youre more of a mood guy try to keep at that !

so long
Seb
