Your creations are more often than not full of emotional overtones!

I like the juxtaposition of the roar of war and the quest for peace...

I like the superb close up cropping showing emotionally charged gaping mouth of the human subject and the serene connotation of someone praying the rosary....

Dramatic subtle sepia tones and subdued illumination with a visually balanced composition of light and darkness...

Dramatic and so relevant expression in today's world. We are dealing with more then one big problem and you have presented it so good. The colors, details and overall composition is appropriate!

Wow. This looks incredible
The realism and details are amazing. I love the transfer from dark to light. Like the yin and yang if war. Just WOW.

Quite a striking work posted here! Your dramatic and thoughtful image is quite fascinating. Yes, it projects the panic and terror of war but also that peace will return at some point. Like the gritty detail in it. Well created!

This is a clever piece of art, very powerful and full of emotions and it most definitely has that angry undertones with the expressions of the guy in the background and it total contrasts the other holding and kissing that cross adds that very poignant message that the whole world should heed too Raoul!

Hey there Raoul!
This is a nice piece and has been drawn well. I like the story behind the art and if fits the rendition well. Great use of highlights and shadows, it gives great depth. Thanks for the share!

Strong visual impact, you show the emotions very well here , the war, shown in the facial expression, and peace shown very well as he closes his eyes . and clasps the cross in his hand. The light and shadows work well also to support the two emotions. Very well created with good attention to the details. Well presented!

A beautiful drawing that is well conceived and deftly executed. I guess that even those of us who have not experienced war first hand have our own demons. A beautiful image that captures that dichotomy.

You have a uniqye style. Although representational it has its own life! Like in this case. The tonal variations play with each other and convey the message. Fine effort. Good luck!
