Nameless Abstractionby *BizarGuy

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Abstract

An abstraction of Nameless [link] . I used Goya's schema to paint this, relates to my own "Universe". I'd like to think it's a powerful picture.

Critique by ~chorsahgryphon Apr 9, 2011, 6:14:50 PM

If anything else, you have definitely been successful in capturing a brooding, sickly, dark and threatening mood in this picture. I thought this reminded me of Goya even before I read your comments. The branching thing that is stretching over the candle-like shapes seems to work both as a dead tree's silhouette, but also as the claw of the mysterious creature in the top right corner.

Usually ambiguity is not good to have in an artwork, but in an abstract picture/painting such as this it works well with the theme. The shapes near the center suggest candles, as people have mentioned, as well as perhaps a town with lamplight, just as the branching shape suggests both a claw and a tree.

The only thing that is bothering me about this pic is the composition. Instead of having just one focal point, it seems like there is an uneasy tug-of-war between two; the point of light on the left that suggests sunlight, and the two "eyes" in the dark. This could probably be solved by having a smoother transition from the middle tone to the dark, because if you look directly to the left of the "eyes" you'll see that it looks a bit rough against the smooth background; blending it with the background would make the dark seem more ethereal and help the composition.

Overall, a wonderful painting with great use of value and impact even as a thumbnail. Hope you find this critique useful, and keep up the art!

Wow! Talk about great.

. This is absolutely amazing, my fingers kinda hurt from typing so much. But, anyways, i'll get right to the picture. I love the monster's hand, and how it grips out at the gravestones, as if it wanted to take them away, at least that's how I see it.

. This picture can be taken many different ways. I also like the direction the light is coming from, it adds a dark sense to the picture, and the candles make me want to scream! The only thing I don't like about the picture is that i'm not living in this world.

I'm really enjoying the dark and light contrast here. Very lovely and eerie. Very dark. I'd have to say the little finger branch things are my favorite part of this piece. <3 Along with the yellow eyes in the blackness.
