Fantastic poster love the way you have done the shadow from the cap gives it a feel of reallity the background and text look really good I can sense the motion of the baseball composition is spot on well done as usual. (Standing ovation)

Comment from brwartwork
Fairly good, except you've got the player hitting with an away helmet while wearing a home uniform. (Cardinal home uniforms are white, away uniforms are gray. Home helmet/hat is red with blue letters).

Comment from Kenneth Dinkel
Mark McGwire is the man and always will be. They crucified him and Barry bonds skates.
Nice rendering with vivid color and appeal. Well done

Comment from Sam S
This is a neat drawing of the batter. That is a whole lot of letters to paint on. Kind of hard to read. Regardless you persevered and PAINTED them in well. Thanks for sharing. Sam

Comment from bernieozfrog
I wouldnt call being # 2 the back ground Mr MKFLood.
Great technic.Great focus and initial impact, and they are jaleous cos u can use other mediums and they would flop using sharpies.
good overal balance of the subject and back ground.
I would have thought one needs greater control to use sharpies.

you know bernie i thought about organizing a ink art contest on here..i just dont know i would get more than oner person to participate...what do you think?...glad that you have enjoyed and thanks for the ego boost, brought me out of my manrag stage...lol.thanks for the review.
-
Well its a good way to win a contest,and speaking of which it reminds me of your piece on the different angle contest,i thought you did a magnificent work of art, well ahead of the rest!
As for an ink contest, i would throw the glove of challenge and invite your fellow arist to have a go at it.I am sure a dozen of them are very capable to raise to it!
Goodluck and thanks for the reply,
Regards,
Ape.
PS: Tell me,Mr MKFLood,is harder to use sharpies as a medium?I would have say yes!
-
opinions vary...i say its really easy...its like this whatever the project that is in front on you, it must be mapped out during the sketch..what is to be highlighted...and you work it opposite than any other medium..example..all the other mediums you would bring on your rich colors witha the lighter ones to highlight...its the opposite in ink..you start with light adn work way to the darkers color...in other words ill have several shades of color overlapping in particular areas. if you saw the sketch and the the ink starts , 1 layer, 2 layer and so on and each layer progresses it will come to life..the scky thing is if there is a mistake, its hard to cover up..99% of the time when that i happens i throw it aways and start over..i know ista bitch but your right about one thing..they can be a monster when something goes worng...lol..thanks for the comment on the angles contest..thats has memphis all over it..cant seem to get these suckers to notice me, to many artist around here..lol.thats is why i have been pushing my self everywhere but here...lol.

Thank you for the lesson on sharpies,very interesting!
Comment from Alison Ryde
red and green two of my favourite colours.
great for baseball fans I guess.
to be honest I admire the skill but I find it rather repetitive.

Comment from dream alone
Good job with the ball in motion - and I wonder how small it is and how you accomplished such detail, like you did with the nose, mouth and belt.

Comment from Victoreus
I have no idea why the art world would not recognize that using the marker ink could actually be a bigger challenge? This is such an outstanding piece. The shading and sharpness is just incredible to me. Hang in there - someday they will know. I love your work.
