This is the first post in my first thread. These are my personal illustrations. Let me know what you think of my artwork. I hope you enjoy them. The first is my depiction of the mythological figure of Ganymede.

Impressive! You're using Corel or Gimp I presume for tracing right? I'm a failure with that kind of techniques, that's why mine is more into oil painting or so, I'm not so sure.

I've been wondering, you always use a soft pastel colors for your drawings, which is good anyway, it blend with the fragility of your character. But have you tried something eerie or so? Some macabre stuff maybe? It would be great for your portfolios, vary.

I completely agree with you. Pastel color schemes are not something I normally gravitate to, but I felt that for these pieces it leant itself to the subject matter and the feeling I was trying to convey.

I don't know if you're familiar with Milo Mauwmauw or not. He has his own tumblr site with his self-portrait photos. A truly gifted artist and one gorgeous man. This is an illustration I did for him recently. I had to do some fantasizing on some of the parts.

Here's the second one I did for Milo. Unfortunately he's not at tumblr anymore.

Nice drawings... All of them have a particular trademark style. That's good coz every artist should have skill which is unique to himself. Are there any muscle man drawings? :)

Muscle man? Hmmm. Not at the moment, I'm into softer guys and I usually do this in my spare time so it's like a personal fantasy. I have experimenting with some "Bruce of Los Angeles" meets "Alberto Vargas" pin-ups, but they're not ready for the general public yet.

Well, everyone has personal preference I guess :) But you have a trademark style (the way you draw), which is good. When it's finished, u can put it here. Or maybe post a WIP - Work In Progress.

I like the overall feel in your works. They are not just "some pictures" but truly an art. I get a feeling of fragile balance, something dream-like.
