Welcome to Gaia! ::

WIP

This is a secret project I'm doing for someone, so SHH!

I'm not really enjoying doing the wings feather by feather, so help? I've only got a black background so that the white feathers show up.

And of course:

CRITIQUE PLEASE!!

Thankyou! I shall remember that in the future! Unfortunately, I'd already finished when I saw this..

Err.. I'll post it in a mo..

Here is the completed one.

XP It's all pixelated! Stupid photobucket..

Picoli, I am most pleased with the colors on her! heart

However, there is one I would like to point out, and you want crits that help. Here I go....



Proportions.

I am no huge anatomy master, but I can tell that her arms are longer than normal, as well as her legs. She looks off-balance. With her arms like that, they would reach beyond her knee, making her look unnatural.

Also, the blades are very big, and they would fall if the other parts of the weapon were made of wood. If she can hold such a big weapon, give her a bit of muscles on her arms.

I surely hope it helps. 3nodding heart

Good afternoon to you all... smile

Anyways, just wanted to ask if some of you could do me a favor. I need someone to look at some art that I've done for an upcoming project that I'm working on. I really need some last-minute critiques or comments so I can have a general idea on how the character will look. My project is a comic book entitled, "Jen." If any of you have the time, come take a look. smile

Samples are provided below:

Thank you for your time...

FLCL>> In your Concept Art picture, the hand on the left looks very awkward, especially the pointer finger with its strange "U" curve from the middle finger. Also, the right shoe has an unusual shape at the front of the it. (The part that looks like a rectangle, it doesn't mesh well with the rest of the shoe, in other words, it looks out of place)

Those are the only things I notice, the rest of your work looks great. It reminds me a lot of Invader Zim and the Bones comic. 3nodding

Picoli>> I agree with Deuxia here, the proportions of your arms and legs look a little too long. (but their placement is quite good!) The best way I can see to fix it is to do what FLCL suggested...make the head bigger! Otherwise, it looks pretty good. 3nodding

Now I Request Help On One of My Pieces

I'm doing some complimentary artwork for a friend, and need some insight from whomever wishes to give it.



My main concern is her gloved hand and the fact that their is no background. I'm not exactly sure how to go about creating a good background for this work, so any suggestions would be appreciated. (along with any other comments whee )

Picoli - First off, I have to say I massively envy your inking skills. Is that real media? Digital? Magic? The smoothness of your lines astounds me. x__x

Just a few things that I see that could use a bit of tweaking:
- The guy standing on the left seems to have a pretty curvy waist. If you could straighten out that line that leads from his armpit down to the bottom of his shirt, he'd seem more manly.
- All of the guys seem to have clenched fists, but the ones where the back of the hand points towards the viewer bug me a little bit. Their thumbs seem to jut out a little unnaturally, and they seem to lack overall definition as hands. (I don't know if you're going to color this, but that probably would be taken care of with some good highlight and shadow.)

Er... that's about it. I wish I could draw guys as well as you do. Such manly men!... crying
