Still excellent work here, I'm still immensely impressed by your stuff, and in more-than-faint admiration of your skill and dedication... Great stuff.

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Thanks Thomas. Right now I just wich I could find the time to keep applying it. I appreciate the time and comment on my gallery "

This site is freakin' amazing. Thank you, art like this is what makes other artists strive to get better.Haven't been published yet as of 03/31/06 hope to be in early apr.The stories with each pic are great to, keep up the incredible work.

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Somehow my email response thingy got all screwed up and I didnt realize I had comments.Thanks! Im glad you enjoy my work and that they help you out a little in the inspiration department. I could use a little help thier myself "

I just went thru ur gallery nd it is fab!!! i love the anatomy nd the foreshortening nd the shading is awesome too. i just have to say that i think the non colored pics are better. mebbe you should try colored pencil.keep up the awesomeness!!!

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Thank you!Yeah...Im not overly found of the colored work either but I have to keep working it. I have experimented with colored pencils with varied results."

I must say that I am very glad I managed to return to your gallery... the first time I visited here was several years ago, and I remember beying very impressed with your stuff... I still am in fact... I remember that your orcs were the first depiction of them I ever saw... I am really impressed with bolth your works and your style... I have nothing to say to you as far as constructive criticism goes ( I'm not even sure you need it really... ) but I was wandering if you could stop by my gallery and give me some tips on how to improve my own art... any help would be greattly apreciated...

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Wow...I must admit that being the first person to show you orcs is an amazing feeling. I am thankful for your comments and the time it took to write them. I will be happy to swing by and check out your work. I have some other work as well that doesnt quite fit into the "fantasy/sci-fi" realm. Please visit:http://allenp.deviantart.com/Thank you again!"

Hi Allen, once again I made a tour through your gallery and enjoyed every picture you've created. You have the most magical figures in Elfwood, that's for sure! And the way you draw them is excellent.

I went to your Deviant Gallery too, I'm glad I did, you are a master in portraying people. Is there anything you can't draw?

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Thanks for the visit and the compliments!I "can't" draw from my imagination at a steady flow. It's like a faucet and its usually off . My imagination still runs wild I just cant turn the knob and apply it. I think thats the difference in being a pro and an amature. I hope all is well with you and your family and thank you again for visiting!"

Hey, I followed your link through Annekes page and found yours. All I can say is WOW. I agree with Anneke when I say you DO have some of the most creative (and well portrayed) creatures here in the woods. Nice job!

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Thank you very much for coming and visiting "

Hi, I like your use of shading and textures a lot. (I have really to improve in these two things). Liked your DA gallery as well.

Bye, Maarten

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Hi Maarten . Thanks!"

WOW DUDE! This is GREAT! KEep it up! Love to see more!

Allen R. Palmer replies: "Hello Carina Thanks for the nice comment!"

Among other things, the sense of urgency and movement in your work is terrific! I’m always a sucker for sepia tones, too.
