Cheers Chrisco,any kind of comment (good or bad) makes me feel involved and spurs me on to keep going and hopefully get better.

WOW! A lot more here than last time I looked! Very nice gallery!

[dug]

After all this time I've just realised that there is a centre align button. Now the gallery looks a wee bit tidier. Thanks for the visit Heat Stroke much appreciated.

Dug, we all learn along the way.

New cheeky piece, page one.A wee bit of political satire. Are we killing the planet?

[barbieq25]

I like the statement & the image too. Well done!

[JulioCoolio]

Great image!! Sends a message about pollution!

[HELEN]

It's just fabulous. Sends the message in such a great image.

Thank you all for the comments and seeing the point. Not very artistic or technical but produced in a fit of anger on World Earth Day!

Steampunk GENTS.

This was going to be my entry for the space comp but just couldn't make it spacey enough looking.

Your image makes me laugth...
What about a ladies' version?

You could try to put it in a large cargo nearby a window through where we see the space... Or put it on an asteroid orbiting nearby the shufflepuck cafe...

I like
- the "bold" top with the shine.
- the brown color and texture rusted and "scarved".
- the details (electric box and pressure control, but the light on them seems wrong)

I don't like
- the bolts on the door and around the top : they are too red, too blured, too similar.
- the silver pipe is a bit off and too clean, too uniform.
- the gray path in front of the door (is great but) doesn't match with the brown general aspect.

Thank you Majic for taking the time to give a thorough critique. I thought steampunk was a bit of a mixture of old and modern.The bolts are supposed to be rivets.The silver pipe is supposed to be lagging(insulation) for hot water.The grey path I should have made of metal(wheelchair ramp).Anyway, I am glad it made you laugh

[Heat Stroke]

Thats pretty good!

[HELEN]

Your work reminds me of Welshblue's work, for some reason. I like your ideas, too. Love the Steampunk!

[dug]

Cheers! Heat Stroke and Helen.Thank you for the wee visit. I appreciate you taking the time.

[barbieq25]

There are many fabulous elements in this one! The texture is just amazing & I totally love the water gauge & the other gauge. A really great image. My only critique is the rivets on the door are a tad too big. Otherwise very whimsical & fantastic!

Cheers BBQ.I have been working on what I call wear and tear brushes(scratches,dirt etc.)What a differance they make for making things look real. As you say learning all the time.

[barbieq25]

Brushes? I can never get them to work for me so I gave up long ago

You really have learnt a lot in a very short time.

[welshblue]

Madjik gave a very good critique and praise where it's due. A really well put together idea.

I love the originality of all your work ...

[dug]

Cheers Welshy for the visit and the comments. Madjic's critique,Yes I was delighted, more of that please.
