Ok so I finally tried to make a painting in photoshop.
I went surprisingly well. I just didn't plan out the composition very well.
Actually I basically painted the guy first, then decided on the mouse and finally threw in a sky.
I guess because I basically stole the general composition I just didn't think any further.

I am not going to have much time to finish this one off. But maybe if anyone has some suggestions on how to improve the composition and make it more unified I could sit down for it one more time.
Right now there is just not very much connection between the characters. If you get my drift.

and some details that are barely details

looks good, is it a crit at the american cloning?

Actually that american flag is kind of dumb. And if I had the time I would replace it with something of my own design (probably something very fascist looking)
But I don't...so..american flag it is.

I started this after I had read about this american scientist that was cloning animals and even people I believe (he had to kill them after a few days.) Which all made me very pissed.

Ok so I am complaining to a friend that noone replied to my post.
And he is like...what are you talking about. You got some nice comments...
But I did't..they are not showing up. Even after refreshing twenty times. Is that weird?
Am I missing half of this forum?
Must have something to do with our proxy or something...
Anyways...maybe after I post this things will show up again...

Is this common?

Some advice....if and when people come across your thread they will either reply or they won't, you bumping it up all the time is not going to help.
You seem like you want decent crit so i will lay it down for ya.
the Rat looks very blury and the flag looks cheezy.
there is no *definate* lightsource giving the picture alot of depth..sure the lighting is not bad but if you worked with it a tad you could bring alot more emotion and power into play.

I like the idea behind this but I tend to feel discrimination behind you putting the american flag by the scientist.

The flag represents the whole country, not some whacked out scientist mofo who want's to make babies with 20 dicks....you get my drift?

Overall you have a nice style...keep at the good work.

Someone just played a hoax on me. Sorry..
It's too dumb to even try to explain.
I hope not too many people read what I wrote in this post at first because it was pretty damn emberrassing.

Thanks for the C&C Soulfuct. Sorry about the flag. As I said..I'd take it out. Maybe I will. I just don't want to endlessly fiddle with this thing. Better to start something else and do it right from the beginning.
