Graffiti Palace

Contributed by A Horton

I took this image at the Skate Spot in 280. I made it black and white except for the eyes, I let the color shine through them.

This image is pretty strange. I dont really know anything about this image like where its from or why was it drawn in the first place but i think thats why i like it so much. Is it graffiti? also i dont know if you did this or another artist but i like the selective color on the like helmet it adds to the weirdness of the image. I also just like the drawing itself its very well done and i like the shading. Well this is very good art, weather I'm critiquing the artist or the photographer or both, good job.

This is a very cool shot. The color and shading are done very well. The shadowing is also very good. It does kinda look like graffiti. I like it a lot.

Megatron

i like this kind of art, i went to old tarrant city the other day and they had lots of graffiti on and in the old buildings. i took lots of pictures with my phone. this picture has lots of character because i can connect to it. i like how u cropped it to focus on megatron's face and upper body.

This is definitely an abstract piece which makes you think. The use of just black/white adds to the original aspect of it. The lines also make you focus on where the lines lead you. Also, the shading is really good, good job on this piece.

This would be gnarly if you actually did the graffiti, but you didn't, and this is all this artist's work that your taking credit of. Maybe if it wasn't just the dude that was drawn, but shown more of the surroundings. Just lame.

This is a cool graffiti shot. I love graffiti, so whenever graffiti pictures get posted up here I get excited. I like how intricate and well done the transformer is and its much more interesting than the normal tag. I also think your decision to go black and white was good, and leaving the eyes colored was cool. I do agree with the idea that you should have gotten some of the surrounding graffiti as well, because it does seem like your stealing the artwork. Had there been other pieces around it, or maybe showing other structures in the picture, the ground, top of the wall, building, it would have been better. But in the end, I love it and it really does give this great tag its due. MFS from SPHS

Wow, this is a pretty cool photo. Actually, I couldn't even tell it was a photo at first. It looked like you just got an image from Transformers off the internet and stuck it in photoshop. Anyways, yeah, this is a cool photo. I would have liked to have seen what the original color of the robot was, but it's all good.

I like this photo. I like how the black and white are working very well with the red in the robot's eyes. Its true how the color shines through them makes the photo look a lot more interesting. I don't know if the smoke kind off thing in the photo was added or already like that, but it makes the shot look amazing and awesome so i got no complaints x]. I do believe the shot looks graffiti which made me like it even more! one thing about the black and white is that it made me wonder what was the real color of the transformers robot. Though it looks amazing like that you should have shown a bit more color to make it stand out. Overall this shot is a good one. Keep up the good work! :D -MC SPHS

I really like the subject of this photograph. The black and white overlay you've added to the picture really helps the overall composition. The eyes that you have left red really help to draw people's eyes to the center of the painting. The different shades of black that came with the black and white overlay also help to accentuate the painting. Overall good photograph.

This is quite an interesting photo! I really like how you took out all of the color except for the eyes. It really brings the focus & attention on them, & thus gives your eyes a place to rest. It's not TOO busy, but there is still quite a lot of area for your eyes to look at, which is a good thing! However, I'd really like to see the original so that I can see exactly what you did!
