[A Cover]

Pretty good.

I love the way you drew the character in the front and with what detail you did the teeth with. The way the teeth are drawn make the monster all that much more evil looking.

However, my biggest problem here is how you didn't carry on that detailed style to the characters in the background. In the foreground, you have this extremely detailed, shaded character while in the back you have two characters that are unshaded and only slightly detailed. It just doesn't look complete.

Also, the font at the top takes away from the image. It would have been much better were to you to have drawn the text.

I'll also note the proportional problems with the boy's head.

[Honeycomb]

It's great :D

I love the colors that you used, the mix of the orange and the blue, and how the brightest point in the picture is caught in those three center combs.

The honey comb effect itself is very unique. It makes the blue almost look like water and the crispness of the design just adds to it.

The only thing that I think you could do to improve this is to do something with all that negative space around the design. It feels as though something should be there. I definitely wouldn't put in another focal point or use high contrast colors, but adding some type of texture to the edges of the picture may add to it.

Yeah I probably should have just cropped it, oh well.

[Wind Tunnel]

Interesting.

I like the design with its circle effect and how the center is lighter and then the image gets darker as you move towards the edges. It also has a smokey feel, which I think is a nice style.

I like all of the different shades of green that you used.

However, I feel like there needs to be more contrast. The low contrast of the shades makes it hard to find a focal point in the image. I wouldn't make the center lighter, but rather, add some darker shades near the edges somewhere in the design.

Thanks for the crit! :D

[Soul's Silver Lining]

Well done.

The lighting in this was done very well. It's definitely the thing that catches my eye the most. The glow around Lugia is a nice support/accent to the lighting, as well.

The colors, how you used all cool colors, are very pleasing to the eye and I like how you have the light streaks at the bottom.

The bubbles are also a nice touch.

[Gratificante]

Pretty nice.

I like the colors that you used in this. The softness of them creates a nice air. I like how the warm colored orange fire contrasts with the other colors in the drawing, which are almost all cool cool colors.

I like the style in which you drew the hands. It's unique.

The only big problem with this drawing is proportions. The eyes are too far apart and the front forearm is too long.

Thank you very much !
I tried to color on a different way this time

And I definetely have to study proportions

Cheers

[Terrier takes cover]

Terrier is well done, but...

...The background sets me off a bit.

I'll start with the positives, though.

Like my title says, the character, Terrier, is very well done. Everything from the shading on the legs to the detail on the shirt clear shows that you put a lot of time into this. Her position is just right. The shading of her chest is perfect.

If you drew the explosion in the background, it's also very nice.

However, like I said, I'm not so crazy about the background.

The brick wall looks far too realistic in contrast to the cartoonish style of Terrier. I feel like there are too many styles and textures of shading in this picture with the blurry sky, the 3D-looking wall, and the 2D person. They just don't seem to settle well together.

Also, it feels like there should be a shadow on the wall from Terrier. Otherwise, it seems like she's too far away from it, which I can tell isn't the case by looking at her hand on the wall. The angle of the shading on the top right (left from her perspective) arm doesn't match the shading on the other three arms and her chest. Additionally, I feel as though the bottom left arm is too narrow at the shoulder and looks a lot smaller than it should in proportion to the rest of her body and her hand. There's something off about the bottom right hand and forearm as well.

There's also something about the clouds that doesn't seem right. There isn't any proper shading to them.

But, despite my nitpicking, the picture is still very well done and the time you put into it definitely show.

4/5

[Don't hate me]

Pretty nice

I like the smudgy style that this has. It really adds points to this. The teeth and mouth are also nicely done.

The one thing that bothers me about this is the lighting. It seems as though the direction of lighting is coming from many different angles, which doesn't really make sense. The way you shaded the left (character's right) arm and its lips contradicts the way you shaded the back of the head and the right arm. If the light source is coming from the right, then all of the shadows should be on the left. If it's coming from the left, then all the shadows should be on the right. I hope that makes sense.

Overall, well done.

4/5.

HYES!!!!! thanks man.

[Flight of The Fire Dragon]

Interesting.

It has a nice feel to it. The metallic looking shading on the dragon is a unique effect.

However, there are some problems.

The first is that they eye should be farther back. It shouldn't be directly over the dragons mouth; it should back in its skull a little more.

The second is that the spikes on the back of its head look off. It feels as if they should be uniform in width and length.

Lastly, I strongly advice against using lens flares to represent anything but lens flares because it makes it look amateurish. Also, it seems to be in stark contrast with the other two styles that you have in this picture. You're already blending two styles of shading in the picture with the background and the dragon, so I think that adding a third style - the crisp lens flare - is too much.

But overall, it's not that bad. Needs work, but still, not bad. Keep working on it.

Thanks for the comment, and i will take that info you gave me and use it the next time i do some thing like this.

Thanks again

[Fallen from Grace]

Interesting

I'll start by saying that I really like the way you did the wings. They're very intricate and the glow around them is a nice effect.

However, you have some proportional issues there.

The biggest one is that, when you look at people in real life, none of them are that skinny. There seems to be, for a lot of people including myself, a tendency to draw characters, particularly female characters, too thin.

Also, I suggest looking up some facial proportions tutorials. The angel's eyes in your picture are too high.

Another thing I suggest would be to put some wrinkles and folds into her dress to make it look more realistic. Right now it kind of looks like a tube. If the angel were a person in real life, you'd see all these folds and wrinkles where the fabric fell around her body.

There's potential here, but it needs some work.

flashman16 responds:

I'm glad you think so

proportions have always been my downfall :/

Too skinny? hmm... you could be onto somehting there...

I thought the eyes were in the center of her head? D:
they doo look a but high now that u mention it...

I added the shading in the dress to try and make it look like folds rather than just straight... clearly that failed

Thanks for your review

[The beaty of the warrior]

Wow.

This is really awesome.

The coloring is fantastic and the sky is beautifully well done. I like how the sky gets lighter to create this sort of bright outline around the dragon to make it stand right out as the focal point of the image.

The detail of this is very intricate and it shows that you put a lot of time and effort into it.

Very well done.
