Wonderful. Fantastic. Would love to see more work from you in the future.

[wildcory1]

Cool concept. I love it

[eparts]

wow this was really worth the view!
the idea and motivation is a killer. I think its very precise and simple, the way you just draw the worried forheads tells it all.
I like your wimsical and expressive style. good use of mixed media too!
ye, keep it up!

[MSke3D]

real Cool!

[theflash]

Hey man that is some unique piece. Can you explain how did you achieve those shading effects, looks like ink and wash stuff. amazing work!

[ikuru]

Its great too see something new and fresh around here, that doesnt look like a dragon or a 3D face or whatever. really nice and fresh, Id like to see your process and more art plz. ;)

[cester]

Very strange and very good!
4 star:)

[luozhihua]

[Artist-Lounge]

Hi,

Very nice and artistic .. did you wanted the characters to look like Gandi?

[Soverign]

incredible, simple and evocative--and very effective as a cover, I might add. Superb work here, we're all in envy of your skill ;)

[warpy]

[Martin Kay]

You succeed extremely well, where most others fail, in communicating an idea.

I was speechless when I saw the pic, litteraly, it's very very powerful.

[AUMAKUA]

Really unique and artistic approach. You could make a whole series of human interaction pictures in this style :)

[Glosep]

Wow Great Image, looks excellent.

[sparth]

you can interpret this image the way you want to, a lot of symbolism in there.
really a great image, it's very moving.

5*

[Mu]

Hi Michael,

unique form language and strong anatomy even in the exaggerated parts which I always like.
Definitely leaves an impression on the viewer and kind of silenced me.

5* and an encouragement to keep on following your own path.

[michaelkutsche]

I'm simply overwhelmed by the feedback!
Thanks very much!
Here's the wip pic without the dirt layer, simply painted with the hard edge brush on one layer to keep me concentrated on the forms and not on skin textures and lighting effects.

[hertzchim]

superbly good

;)

[michael-olszak]

Love the style man! this piece totaly rocks dude!

[shahabp]

Coooool.
I enjoyed it a lot

[Mawh]

Great! Is there a particular message in this image?
Anyway, I love it, the characters are very strange...

[michaelkutsche]

some educated guys want to have some of the innocence and happyness of the not-knowing child, it's concerning everyone who is full of heavy thoughts and not able to see the beauty in life that surrounds him, it sometimes detains one from partake in life.
but the image is meant to have a lot of directions to look at it, not to have only one message.

[Mawh]

Just what I thought, but I wanted to know what you meant in this image before :)
Curiously, it is exactly what I'm living now... I regret, i quote you, the "happiness and the not-knowing" child I was... (i'm still a "child", but thinking too much sometimes ^^) and I'm about to change my mind in order to rebecome this carefree child... it's not that hard, and it's so pleasant!
I love the characters, wich are strange, even "unhealthy"... really great work!

[michaelkutsche]

It's good to see that the symbolism is readable, thanks Mawh!

[xiaosong]

Very interesting thanks sharing!

[kaparo]

Excelent piece. Great composition, characters and color. Very unquiet topic, I like it a lot.

[Gyorkland]

maybe I don't fully undestand the meaning of your artwork but I know one thing for sure
Its an amazing painting the skin tones are awesome and the wall texture made it a very stilish piece of art congrats!
By the way I would really apreciate if you could let me know the meaning of this artwork.
Oh I almost forgot 5 stars from me.

[Mcuzino]

I dig this for reason I do no know

[michaelkutsche]

To Gyorkland: A short description of the meaning is some replies above.
And thanks very much for the compliments!

[qiuhao]

the style is so peculiar, there is no color in this picture, but the characters are great ,you are the man have great vision.

[CrisdeLara2007]

Great! great stuff!!! I loved!

[ALFAMJOLNIR]

Very good job, very dramatic:
Details: Perfect for th style
Style: You are a reference. Go ahead!
Characters: very unusual.
Pros: Really unique, and instant-coonectioned with people.
Cons: Some Hans Giger resemble, but only for the expert eye. A tone layered in the background could be a (agressive) Plus.

4 star with out thinking.

[Adina]

i just love this picture. the composition is wonderful and that traditional watercolor feel is gorgeous. some parts look so light and soft - i cant stop staring on it. wonderful work man :D

[ahourani]

Genius :
It's Very Very Wonderful , and Very Nice Idea

[alfsea]

Thankyou for showing us this - what a successful work: The concept, style, and execution work so well together to communicate the idea strongly, and perfectly. Congratulations!

[Blaschke]

Really strange but well done.
bravo

[ario]

nice work. intresting style and perfect texturing. really cooooooooooooool job.:thumbsup:

[IlCattivo]

Brilliant, just love it! Nothing more to say...

[KarelWolf]

Great image, merkwürdig!!
Its modern, yet it has this cool old look. I love the way you make the arms look like crawling, living roots, desperatly reaching for the mysterious head. You don't often see work with a strong artistic value like this one on tis website. Gratulationen!

[e338]

brilliant (and it took me a year to say that. pfff)
