Hi I would like to get some opinions on my art work. You can view it at www.lastingmemoriesnursery.com These are not real babies but dolls that I have created. They are made of vinyl. Thanks Debra Jadick Lasting Memories Nursery www.lastingmemoriesnursery.com

Answer 1

Well, I for one think those are fantastic. I've never seen anything like your work before, and I love to see people develop an unusual talent. Bravo, keep working on it. :)

I do agree the site header graphics could be improved - if you have the funds for it, perhaps you could hire a website designer/graphic artist. If you don't, I don't think it's essential. You have a very nice portfolio regardless, and if you don't want to branch into other things there's no reason to, so long as you make enough of a living doing what you do.

I'm a 3D digital artist, and I can relate to the realism freaking people out to some degree, as I've seen it in my line of work too. I personally find it fascinating, not freaky - it's something artists in all kinds of media wish to achieve.

Answer 7

Still seems a little addy because the website is an e-commerce site. So.. let's be real.

Realism freaks people out because it is what it is. Think about it. Dolls are a like a cartoon in a sense, or surrogate, a toy. When you add realism to the mix you take the toy out of context, and it gets a tad creepy. Is it real or not...??

Which brings me to my art critique. I'd like to see these babies in a more art arena and a less e-commerce arena if indeed this is an art venue and not a business. Yes, art is a business. But if the babies are to be curated as art, let's do so. Otherwise, they are just realistic portrait dolls for sale.

Answer 8

I have seen this site before.. they are good, some of them have freaky eyes, but over all they are very good.. You need a better image for your header though.. A clearer photo would be good.. It looks like to tried to make a smaller photo larger.. so it's a bit pixelated  

Answer 9

art work is very good.. but honestly this scares the c**p out of me ><
