Haven't come up with a title yet. Spent more than 22 hours on this total. Maybe. I'm pretty slow and lazy - gotta work on that. I realize some parts of this need work - c&c appreciated.
I'll post this one too while i'm at it :
I'll make a colored version ( not ) soon enough.
And yes, my boss wears a jacket like that.
..
Umm. Like the one in the first picture - He's not wantonly malicious like the fat salesman character. Just born violent i think. Like the wolf.

I found the first one morbidly hilarious. The expressions on the rabbits definitely make the picture. I really like the feel to your second picture, but the big guy's left hand bothers me. It looks more like it just tapers off than being stuffed under his bulk. And his right arm seems awefully small ... The old lady looks great though. |

hey! i like this stuff!
really funny, and a very good rendering.
but i think the painting could be more dramatic, and more dynamic.
the wolf has finished (completed? argh, i wish i could speak english...) his move, and the rabbits are a little too static, and so the result is too well balanced and lacks the "shock" factor and the movement it could have had. The wolf could be heavier in the comp (for example, he could be bent over the table, and a little bit bigger), and the assymetricality could emphasises his power against the poor little rabbits. |

wow, the first picture is soooo cool. I love the idea, and that the picture tells a story. I think its very clever done....no crits only praise
The second one is soooo clever too, color it please...
Ive been thinking for a while what it is I have seen that your stuff reminds me of....and I remembered now....its the Pink Floyds The Wall artwork.

in the slavery picture, the second crate from the top seems to have 2 people in it, but only one is visible through either side, which is kind of weird. |

actually, I (really)like the marble statue style. my first gimpse of the painting made me think that it was a 3d rendered scene, and i was even more pleased when i saw that it was not. the rabbits are quite funny in their expressions.
I actually think you should not color the second one. do it up in some nice pen/ink/wash whatever. it has a great 18 c political cartoon feel.
yeah, they made me smile, thanks!

one thing i just recognized. the things on the table throw shaows onto the table. the wolfs hand do too. but the whole guy doesn't. a bit strange. think he should also. |

Gerbil : yepp - the hand - rushed and flawed. will fix that in the colorized version ..
Suny : yeh, my characters are statues made of stone .. i'll have to look into that.
�itee! Sunkin p��stiv�t lomille ? Katoppa
Mulla taivallahti, 270 pv, j�ljell� puolet, eip� riit� sormet kymppeihin .. mutta joo, rentoa. P��llikk�taso p��si tosin juuri sanomasta ett� kaikki komennusmiehet ovat " Pellej�, jotka ovat p��sseet asemaansa rahan ja suhteiden avulla " ... Mutta : komennuspaikka keskustassa. kelpaa.
Kuulin ett� toivoivat sun j��v�n armeijaan ? |

These are fantastic. The only crit that I can see is that the shoe of tragic Mr. Rabbit seems to be rather larger than the foot it belongs on ... How nitpicky is that?!
Great work; terrific sense of narrative.

very nice work. I like the clean and cute style and the colors are very tasty! (that goes for the other images at your page too)
Why are all the rabbits (humans with rabbit heads?) holding their hand in the same position ?
personally i think its a bit extreme with the blood
great work, keep it up
oh, and I like the sketch too! |

great facial expressions of the rabbits.
interesting coloring, and a hilarious bad black humor!
the wolve seems a bit stiff, though.
can't wait for ur next one, lol.. this picture seems so alive, and moving. a little story-something is told, no still-dtanding thing. |

i love your style. also i think the wolf guy needs to cast a shadow on the table. and the table needs texture.
but you paintings are always so clever and has so much behind them. you gotta love those. u r one of my favourite because of you subjects. good work |
