The intensity captured in the wrestling pieces, as few and far between as they are I absolutely adore. (Completely admit my bias to a very specific niche lol)
I LOOOVVVEEE your line weight and linework stylization!! Also how u apply gradients is so beautiful! All of that, on top of your graphic design skills, make for insanely solid illustrations!
GRADIENTS… MY EARLY EXPOSURE TO PS1 SPYRO COMING IN CLUTCH
OUGH thank you re lineart and shape... I spent so much time trying to get ‘perfect’/crisp lineart when I was younger so it means a lot… I’m curious to see how these skills apply to softer lines too
I like how expressive it is. Both like the emotions any characters display or like the use of color and contrast and setting that like a scene expressed what is going on. Your art really does seem to mirror the joy and depth and complexity of who you are as a person.
Ahhh thank you rob… that good old graphic design degree leaks into everything. I still view art as communication & language in many ways… I simply could not excise the gestalt theory from my art if I tried
First of all knowing more than one language is the coolest thing in the world always. Secondly, taking the time to express this sentiment in English for me is so wonderful, thank you. I don’t think I’ve ever had my art described as light or soft and it’s so kind of you.
Thank you!! Colour is something I largely intuit. Value (light & shadow), however, is absolutely something I forced myself to learn via painting exclusively in black & white for a while… there are many ways to create contrast in images & hierarchies of interest which I feel is a graphic design skill

I am too!!! Excited to see if u ever experiment!
I absolutely love how well you show expressions/have your focus show emotion in your art.
