I liked them all, case. Moonlight Bather especially for the colors, sexy curves, and light in front of her. Contemplation is my favorite for its composition, balance, and pleasing colors. I also liked Meditative for the pose and the way her hair forms a wall. It has a stained glass quality to it.

I think your work is outstanding!

Thanks guys for all the feedback...it is good to know how everyone reacts. Definitely the staring boobies. Yeah...now that one is creeping me out a bit. But for some reason it is still one of my favorites. Thanks so much for looking at them!

I am not sure if women have that same reaction. Honestly, this is the first time I have really got any constructive criticism. It's nice to get ideas on where to improve.

Would it be hard to look at a nude of a man with an obvious erect penis?

They don't bother me. As to your second question, No. It wouldn't be hard to look at. I wouldn't put it over my sofa, or anything, but, it certainly wouldn't bother me.

Hi Case,

Your series of pictures reminded me quite a lot of the style depicted in the picture below - have you ventured into fairy illustration at all...?:

I have a similiar reaction to the boobs staring at me. It's not so much that they are they, but how they are drawn that causes the effect, methinks. The starkness of the illustration is what does it. Oh, and the precision of the circles has something to do with it too.

A lot would depend on how the penis was depicted.

Naughty bits draw the eye. Sometimes too much, so they become a distraction from the whole composition. :yum:

Maybe if the right one (her left one) were a little more shadowed like that side of her body, it wouldn't stand out so much, and therefor not draw your eyes down quite so much. My eyes went directly to the breasts, then the rest after a second or two. I love the way the color changes in the hair in all of them.

I suppose in some ways I am looking to force the viewer to acknowledge the breasts, but I couldn't tell you why.

Well, then you accomplished your goal, which I would think makes you even that much more of a talented artist :)

Definately no shortage of talent here. The more I look, the more I like.

Yet another (finished today):

Moonlight Bather is my favorite. Very "art nouveau" which is a style I am interested in, whereas the others I find more cartoonish/anime which does nothing for me.

I find the cerise nipples more "cartoony" than the rest of the bodies, which makes me suspect the artist is scared of them/drawing them. It's like when shy girls wear too much make-up.

Not that I know an awful lot about any of it.

heh, I haven't thought about that...the nipple comment. I wonder...am I afraid of nipples?
