Default few new, first sold

hello!
here are few new ones,
the one that says marlo was my first commissioned work.
the text is hand written, and photoshopped (skew) from a photo.


this is our younger dog, urho


I cant remember the name of the bird,
the spiral is prettymuch freehand.




comments and critics are welcome as usual!
would be really nice to have those criticising comments too as i wish to learn from my mistakes or learn to do things differently and get better.

these are sized about 11cm x 20 cm, execpt the "urho" dog, which is slightly bigger,
about 14 x 25cm.


Thanks for your interest.

daniel

Excellent work Michael, nice designs and an interesting and also attractive graphic and painterly style, incorporated in your craftsmanship.

I'm trying to find some grounds for constructive criticism but I'm a bit at a loss. Maybe if there were images blown up to double size? Really, every thing seems to work well. I like the calligraphy also.

No critique - I think all three are wonderful.

Great work, I really tried to find something to critique but came up short. Getting that top dogs open mouth looking good is tough and you did it quite well! Like David said, if you blow the pic up maybe we can find something.
When I did my dog (was my first dog) his mouth was open and I think I sanded his mouth off 2 times before I got it where I liked it.
