Hey guys :)

Been reading around here for a while and recently set up an account-- it's great to see peoples' artwork around here, seriously tons of sick talent.

And now that I feel like I've done some good work, just thought I'd share my 'latest' pieces, one coloured, one pencil. Feel free to help out with crits or anything you guys might have. :)

Most recent, I think

And image from a few years ago that I mustered up the strength to colour one day, heh.

Enjoy!

    I like your style. I don't really have any crits as of right now, save for the fact that the lightsource(s) on your second picture are kind of hard to determine.

    Pencilwork is really nice, though. :) Welcome to da AC!

    The colours in the second seem too whitewashed, mostly the highlights. The only time you're really going to get white highlights are with insanely strong light sources, spectral highlights, or if the material is white.

    So, uh... less white.

    The face on the first one really bugs me; she appears to actually have a concave face wich is a tad disturbing. I don't like the proportions as they remind me of those little annoying brat sticker things you can get from 25 cent vending machines... The lines by themselves are pretty clean and the line weight is done well IMO, but the subject matter kills it for me. I do like the lightness of the tatoos, but on the arm especially, it looks very flat. Also, that hat is pretty wonked.

    Going on to the second, most of the same applies. The addition of color is better, but alot of it comes off pretty drab. It looks like you where going for "glowing hair' but it doesn't work. I think due to it either being overused or poorly lighted directionally (unless she's surrounded by multiple suns). If you really look at it, there definitely seems to be something shifted wrong with the hips, and the (viewers) right shoulder is dislocated inward. While it could be pulled off if you stretched your arm way across your body, it's pretty impossible with your arm going straight down, or at least uncomfortable and needing more shifts in the body. I don't like the gradient shadowing on her chest, and lastly her feet... While roundness of a shoe on the first one was passable, it appears she's just wearing stockings in sandals, and the same "round boot" doesn't make much sense. The golden cutout outline thingy looks decent, but it looks like a million things before it on deviantart. Well done in that regard, but it loses it's effect (at least to me) because it's used so much.

    Hey guys

    thanks for all the advice and comments on these two pics. I'm not the kinda guy to go cry when he gets critted (.... not the WoW attacking-kind) so this is awesome

    always looking for ways to improve myself.

    The light for the angel is definatly unknown, I was simply going for a glowy feel to make her look more angelic. :) I need to keep sources in mind however, so I'll try and pay more attention to it with the next piece I do

    thanks again guys! I'd write more but I'm in class. :P Yep 5:52 on a friday. Boo-urns.
