SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Ben Palmer

*waves her own towel in Ben's direction* Hmmm.... I think Ben above here ate quite a lot of what I thought I'd say. I see a lot of promising here, your line art is really good and I'm impressed of the way you switch between clean and simple like in the "Forest Spirit" and really detailed in your "Egyptian robot". The animation inspiration is quite clear, I think. Perhaps there could be a little more shading involved in some of the pieces, but I won't say much more about it - I mean... This is just the beginning of your artistic corner in EW, right? K.eep up the work

Cheers!
*points in the direction of own gallery*

Ben Palmer replies: "Ta, i shall head to your gallery, right....about.....now!!!(dashes off)"

Y'know Ben, there is a whole bucketful of promise in this gallery's humble beginnings and soooooooo many times I see a gallery start up with just a few pics which have a certain 'quality' to them which tells me that there is an underlying passion and pleasure in the production of the images!! ..........unfortunately, for whatever reasons, these galleries rarely flourish and grow to maturity and I suppose the artists go on to 'other' things in their lives and 'just drawing' is allowed to slip into the realm of 'something else to do if I aint'ent got nuthin better to do......'!!

I really am impressed by what I see here .......and folks will tell you that I don't impress easily .......I am also very sparing with my commenting ~ It takes something that 'I' consider special to get any words outa me LOL

I'd like to see more 'stuff' in this gallery...... Not particularly more of the same, because I think you are capable of much bigger and better things! I would like to see how you progress and would certainly be grateful for a call when you next upload ;^D

Don't let your talent wither and die!!

Ben Palmer replies: "Thanks for the comments, I shall do my very best to be an active elfwoodian, commenting and uploading new art as often as i can"

Ben Palmer replies: "thanks for the visit, s'what its all about for me, supporting eachothers creativity, and sharing with complete strangers, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside =)"

Hi there, Ben. Nice to see that you've added some new works to your gallery. It's great, all of it. I like the little messenger imp, very sweet. I wouldn't mind having my post delivered by that one. Your linework still stays crisp and clean and the worlds of your own are building up nicely. Keep up the work

Ben Palmer replies: "thanks louise, for returning once more to my neck of the woods. your comments are both supportive and encouraging, and your new uploads are wonderful, as always. Glad to see you back and in business, as it were. I was worried by your news that you were having some problems. life gets us down, creativity picks us back up, have fun, be creative, always...."

Your work is beautiful. Your style is just about exactly what I'm working on right now. . . trying to branch. Do keep gracing the site with your work

Ben Palmer replies: "Thankyou so much for your kind words cayleigh, glad you like the work. There is more in the queue at the mo, including some colour. I'll buzz your page when its up "

hey ben
did i tell you how original I think you characters are? yes... I think so... but I say it again. I really like your concepts, I can tell you work a lot on them, refining them to get to final design that you have in mind. And color now! Wow! well, keep working on it, you have a good start, you could do wonders with color for you characters!

I don't usually comment on artists (though I love to look), because...well...I can't draw to save my life *grin* But yours are so unique, I had to tell you. Keep drawing and developing that personal touch! Your pictures are so unique, they are bound to stand out above the rest.
