[Time of Immaturity]

Great.

It's just so interesting. The concept of being able to unbutton yourself and wear a human suit is impeccable. People do this all the time but not in the same sense that you have drawn it.

Bullsik responds:

In the context of Gombrowicz and existentialism it works both ways. It's the skin that you have made or it's the skin that others have made to you. The first one is your shield protecting you from the world, and the latter is a cage that the world is putting you into.

[BURN]

Lol

It's very simple but it gets the message across quite well. It's serious but funny at the same time. It makes me not want to touch the baloon though. That's some serious weaponry he has there.

[Pretzel Seed Concept]

Well

-I like that you are showing us a nice little drawing of the protagonist in a novel that you are writing. The name description that you are using is perfect for a jester of sorts. I'm quite curious as to all of the things that she will get into in her travels. Are you going to do little drawings like this for chapters or just the cover? It would also be really cool if you could make an animation telling about your novel for additional advertisement.

-The colors of the (raccoon?) are really good. You did a spectacular job of shading and compensating for additional pieces of clothing that she is wearing. There seems to be a triple shade used for the color and it looks nice. Purple, red, and white are interesting colors to use as a combination but a jester should have odd and interesting colors to help with the lulz and sort. Anything to help with the laughter is a great idea. Green trim is more of an earthy color and fits in well with the other colors aforementioned that you used for the clothes.

-The picture is very plain though. There is no background at all other than the grey you plastered the piece on. I understand that this is just a picture showing the character for an upcoming novel but having Pretzel Seed doing something other than sitting would of been more interesting. It's something to think about if you are going to have more character design pictures in the future. Have her playing an instrument or doing something comical in front of a crowd. If anything have a more interesting background color than grey.

-Just some thoughts on your artwork that I thought I should share. It's also a nice change of pace from your 8-bit artwork.

Abnorvell responds:

I was very happy to read this review, you basically hit all the nails on the head. This was the first drawing I ever did of the character, consider it "concept art", if you will, so I went with a simple pose excluding a background for the time being.

The choice of colors was something I thought long about, I wanted them to obviously reflect the silliness of a jester, earthly tones for the setting of the story, and darker attributes reflecting the rather dark and mysterious tale.

I have several other pictures of this character and others lined up, not to mention actual scenes with backgrounds. I'm glad you mentioned the part about including an instrument, because she plays the tambourine, which will be included with time. I've had the thought for an introductory animation for the novel, but I won't be getting to that until drawing this and other characters becomes more natural with practice.

Thanks for the great review!

[That Other Stall]

Lol

-Yes, everyone has had this happen in their lifetime if they have gone to enough public restrooms. I swear the nasty people only go to the bathroom in these places so they don't have to clean up the mess they make.

-It looks like your standard bathroom with writing all over the stalls that just never seem to be cleaned. Honestly it just takes a little cleaner and some elbow work and it will come off. I love the green odorous mist that is slowly flowing from the other stall. I would be absolutely terrified too so I understand completely why you have the girl cringing in the corner covering her nose.

-I'm really glad that you made this. It's hilarious and well drawn as well. I love little pieces of work that are meant to just make you laugh and aren't too serious.

haha ty! glad you liked it. yea its the simple things in life that always make the impression and the good memories to look back and laugh. ty again ^-^

[SPACE TRAVEL AD 2]

Well

-That is quite an interesting choice you made for an ad campaign subject. It shows how imaginitive that you are to pick something like that.

-I think this one is the better of the two for attracting people to space travel. The spaceship and trail behind it are finely detailed with a nice red contrasting SPACE image painted on it. Not only that but the fact that it uses kids faces would attract families better and result in better effectiveness of the ad.

[Cute Robot]

Great

-The little icon you used for this picture was enough to make me want to see the rest of the art submission. It's a great piece of work.

-The background is what suprised me the most. The wierd robotic tentacle things coming up out of the ground painted against the black night sky is different than most things I see here. The stars aren't the brightest but they blend in with the darkness of the rest of the colors.

-The robot is a nice center piece and he has tons of detail. His arms and face are bold pieces that show that he is a primitive robot but he does have the ability to walk fluidly like a human and less like a classic robot would. He is following a path made out of the grass and most likely getting away from the tentacles.

I did this a year or 2 ago now :)

Done alot more since then

thanks for the compliments :) Feel free to look at my other works

[Bahamuts Playing Poker]

Everyone's favorite dragon x5

-I was browsing the level up lounge and on one of Bahamut's many many posts he had a link that said amazing piece of art or something along that lines so I just had to come and see what he was talking about. To my pleasant suprise it was the pick me up that I needed. I haven't had the best of days so far and this made me smile.

-The background has that dark murky look to it that you would expect when in a place where cards are played. You don't want anyone to have a way to see your cards better than they ought to. The grandfather clock and the painting seem to be both tilted which I doubt you meant to do. Using some sort of right triangle or draftsmans tool(integrated into the background) to level things out can make this easier to get correct with the background.

-The Bahamut's could use some more detail and fine lines with shading to give them more definition and make them look less flat. As they are now they look like they could be blown away by the slightest wind from starvation. The light on top is off kilter and could of been made more centered from the point of origin on the top. It does however supply ample light for the cardplayers which was perfect in my opinion.

-I loved how you gave each Bahamut a different expression or emotion to make it feel more realistic which was drawn from the original piece. The cards aren't the most detailed pieces of work but they are passable. Also including the chips is a nice touch but they seem just like dots and not pieces. The chairs also don't seem realistic and look like pieces of plastic the way the colors are. Try adding detail accordingly to make them look like wood or your respective seating choice.

-Overall like I said even though it may not be the most well drawn or detailed piece of work it was humorous and brightened my day to see such a spectacle come to fruition.

[CHOW #36]

Great Job

-I love the cartoon Johnny Bravo. It was just so funny. I think it's quite interesting using colored pencils. They work great for drawing and coloring if used properly. You could of shaded the colored pencils a little lighter with darker outlines to make the picture just pop out.

Kashi responds:

Yeah, im not really comfortable with colored pencils, so i was just winging it and hoping it was at least decent. i did much better than i expected though :)

[Lotus Sword resting spot]

Amazing

-Well your effort paid off. The lighting effects are by far some of the best that I have seen in the art portal. You took the time and effort to have the light be broken apart by the trees and then shine on the respected spots to add in extra shadowing and the shine on the sword.

-The plants are so lush and green while the flowers are so colorful. It makes everything just pop out at you and really helps with adding dimensions to the piece. The sword may not be in the center but the lighting angle compensates for it nicely. The many different colored fungi speckled about make the environment seem like a damp habitat where you would think more wildlife would be around.

-I hope you get a good grade on your project and I was wondering if the rock was supposed to look kind of like a hedgehog or if this was unintentional?

Akavirtoon responds:

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your review :)
I got a 9/10, which is actually more than I have hoped for XD

[Na'vi Girl]

Awesome detail

-I can't get enough of this this tidal wave of Avatar/Na'vi fanart.. They're all just so pretty to look at. Amazing work!

-Out of curiosity, though, did you do this in painter? The background looks so nicely watercolored, but almost too good to be true!

-My one any only comment involving anything that could possibly be wrong with this lovely picture, is that her left shoulder seems a tad too short in comparison to her right. Other than that, I love the everything about it.
