another really beautiful work; that captures a serious pitcher and wonderful stop-motion effect. again the colour work is outstanding and also on this work the shadow is so skillfully applied. hoping this one receives some solid support and appreciation.

Comment from brenda collins
Am really liking the colors on this one. So complimenting of each other. Of course more great work from you.. Very nice love his pose as always and his face..Ahhh reminds me of my son who is 16 plays baseball. He pitches and usually the talk of the town. Maybe for his birthday I could send you his Pic while pitching and of I would pay you but you could do a drawing for him. These are all perfect!! Thanks again for sharing. Oh and his bday is the end of May;.

LOved to! you can catch him in an action shot of pitching , hitting , or running..all concepts of the games. These that i am doing is on 8x11 i can do bigger but takes lotta ink and a lil more time. End of may huh...mine is june 1st...shoot a shot and email me at markkflood@yahoo.com, then give me a few days and email ya with the results if you like it buy it, if not,it stays in my gallery..deal?You know i have many kids and grandkids and the only way i could afford for birthdays was drawing something they wanted...just recently did two of my grandson heads on their favorite superheros...they loved it and have it above their bed.,i have that posted at www.artbreak.com/mkflood (one is milo the flash and the other is maddox the the green lantern) they think papaw gave them special powers now...lol..i am so happy that you have enjoyed this and do appreciate you taking the time in giving me this excellent reveiw.

I am so excited over this I can get it framed and He can hang in his room so cool. Thank you so much I will decide which photo I like and send it on out. Blessings my friend... oh and cool that you did them on action figures.!

Again you have done a nice j. Nice use of light and shadow here . Good understanding of anatomy . Has anyone commented on the overlap lines . I know it is one of the drawbacks with markers

all the time..its either that or pink skin...only a few people really understands my medium, but to the non artist they love it(ones who have the checkbook) and that counts...wink...lol..i do appreciate you taking the time in giving me this great reveiw.

I hear you . I do understand your medium. I asked the question because there are a lot of critics on the site that criticize , but offer no solutions , nor do they post much art .

Again I appreciated well presented one. Excellent pose and the sketch. Good technique and impact. The expression also interesting. That is very impotent of the pictures. Excellent work.

Do the manufacturers of the ink pen know what you have been able to achieve with their product? In the shaded areas on the face and arm I love the way you use dots like a modern take on pointalism. Very well executed.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Why do you put these up Mike, they are all excellent? You know this, I know this, your fans know this. I doubt anyone could shed light on how to improve.
This has your visual stamp on it and I would recognize it anywhere. It's beautifully composed as are all your other images, you've been inventive with that N using bats and a green background compliments the whole image.
I like the emotion you have captured on his face, it's intense and well drawn and nothing is out of proportion. You have the shading just right and you can draw a human form with eyes closed. There is good clarity, perspective, tonal range, it's all there.
You are a professional, it shows in your work, always.

I was just looking at something Mark, and found what you are asking about. Go into My Menu....then go into MY certificates....scroll down and you will find a section that explains how to get FAR to review your work...if that doesn't work why don't you write to TOM (I'm sure there are many but that is the name they use)...go to CONTACT US...and send them a note. Good Luck

Comment from outsideMAN
Looks like another really good action poster has just rolled of the presses! Like the pose and the concentrated look in his eyes. Never understood the weird contortions those pitchers get into just to throw the ball! Nice image, well done!
