looks pretty good!

I love this the lioghtining is excellent. The sky is amazing.

DigitalDust  03/16/05 @061

Just majorly cool! The tree seems so out of place, almost awkward, but it works for some reason. Everything is so dimensional here - depth in color, perception, etc. The clouds and sky are so intense and the illumination on everything looks convincing. Fun piece to look at!

My jaws dropped just looking at the thumb. Awesome! I love the tree, clouds, and the lighting is just great.

very nice baron!

MsMichelleLynn  03/16/05 @428

Awesome job Simon. The composition, colors, and lighting technique are wonderful. My only crit is his left hand. It looks like a club. I cannot see individual fingers on it.

siffert  03/16/05 @521

Love the lights and colors. Very good work!

Juanitou  03/16/05 @543

You are my idol hahahaha

Nova  03/16/05 @683

Amazinggg. I love the lighting and that tree

I wish I had your eye for colour and landscape (you couldn't lend it to us for a while could ya?). I like it when paintings evolve on their own...the results are often less contrived than ones that are born from meticulous planning. I also love ambiguity in paintings and all yours have that by the shovelful. Top marks.

brilliant colours

Xris  03/17/05 @626

Awesome. Brilliant atmosphere. Well done! +9

MayYeo  03/17/05 @758

I love everything except the tree. The clouds are sweet as hell, so the land and the man. But the tree looks like pasted into it, maybe having some of those nice sjy colors would help

skulpturro  03/17/05 @968

Oh sure, tease us with a portion of a fable. Another angry sky, pawing it's way toward an unfortunate soul foolhardy enough to stand in its path..... Great illustrative stuff, I would like to imagine the lightning fusing the fingers of Jim's left hand. If that's OK with you. 10+

BaronImpossible  03/17/05 @998

Thanks for the comments, everyone. skulpturro - want to be my PR man?

Madanapale  03/18/05 @226

Excellent lighting and perspective.! +10/10

TJVerhagen  03/18/05 @461

very nice painting. Great lighting.. lovely dramatic sky and distorted tree. Excellent stuff, going into my Fav Artworks list

ARTOONATOR  03/19/05 @424

I need a reference in the painting to measure Big Jim's size. We have nothing that indicates the size of Jim except for the title. Other than that: Good work, again.

Poshspice  03/19/05 @878

Those clouds are wonderful Simon, and I think the lighting in this has great atmosphere. Composition works well too.

BlacKeri  03/20/05 @408

The color choices blow me away Amazing!

Medrano  03/20/05 @793

very nice light!!! +10

matsuru  03/22/05 @483

the emotion is srong with this piece, i like the idea and the colours. especially the contrast between the earth, tree with the sky. the clouds does make the whole piece an exciting one.

Furitsu  03/22/05 @885

Oh, this is wonderful! Love it! Especially the sky/clouds. Just wish the guy were a bit more detailed. Excellent work, Simon.

DrInker  04/07/05 @516

Verry nice colors.

valentine9  04/19/05 @001

Excellent piece... The repeated direction of the trees and clouds does me well.

Juro  05/08/05 @549

Great, really nice work, the sky is excellent and gives this painting extra depth, really well done. +9 and added to favorites.

kinnas  05/08/05 @894

those clouds are.... powerful

JustaArtist  05/09/05 @278

The vibrant colors in your work is terrific, I hope youre making prints to sell of this stuff. The angle of the clouds creates a nice composition with the tree, also with the stance of your character the clouds really add to the fact that it's windy. I love the paintery style, it works well. Wished I could give it higher than a 5 but that's as high as it's allowing me to go. (I'm still a newb status)

digitalhadz  05/24/05 @431

beautiful 5/5

Stormchild  06/26/05 @524
