Just a note:
My scanner SUCKS for sketches. It doesn't pick up half the shading, and I noticed you were seriously down on the Karma and Effect, which is mostly shading. I garuntee you, if you saw the real copy, you wouldn't think it's the same thing. Ditto with the Anti-Smoking. I've been trying to work on my shading, so that's what a lot of the newer picture you see will have, shading that you can't see -.-
Idol Hands:
Needs to be seriously shaded. The geomotry (God damnit, took me forever to freaking spell this word. Who cares if I didn't spell it right) isn't half bad, but the arm's sleeve is WAY to straight. No sleeve is that straight. Good job nonetheless.
Thank you, and good point. I never really thought of that.
Believe:
Some of the lines aren't straight, some are to dark and darker than the others, and it also seems to be a little tilted. The box itself is also tilted to much.
The lines started OUT straight, but coloring in the black screwed that up a bit.
I wish I could say the picture was tiled when I scanned it, but that's not true. You're right, Conan, the image itself tilts to the right -.-
Balance:
I'ms till trying to figure this out. I can understand the flame, but the flame seems to integrated with the circle itself. The rain on the other side is just...Way to slanted and isn't falling straight down.
Ever seen a picture with the rain coming down at a slant, due to wind? That's what that was about... I didn't want anyone to think it was bleeding
The right side is really a cloud, which is rainning out.
Wings:
Very good job. Proportions are accurate, and the shading is well done.
One thing though:
Is this Batman's evil twin? The picture seems as if we're lo0oking at the back of a cleaner and more symbolic Batman.
ROFL, never heard that before.
A World Ablaze:
Good picture, but the continents look horrendous. When looking from a stelite down, there ren't lines depicting the different countries. Those lines need to be removed and the middle finger needs to stick out a bit more, because it looks as though the flesh on it is almost going into the sphere.
Yeah, like I said... Need to buy my ass a globe.
Nightmare:
Good picture, but physics is a bit off. When someone rips through a thick paper or cloth as seen in the picture, all the rip marks need to be going the same way. It looks as if he was ripping it with his claw down, and going up. But as the beginning rip marks at the bottom, it looks the other way around. That needs to be fixed. The face isn't too bad, but the eyes seem to close together, and you could make them a bit more real by not centering them with the marks. A good technique is to draw the face on a seperate sheet, then integrate it behind the claw marks. Looks creepier and more real.
I didn't really get what you meant about the claw marks.
I sketched the face first, then the claws, so it has nothing to do with centering it.
Ramuh:
One thing about art is depicting something symbolic or meaningful, but making it visible and so people can depict what it is. This looks like a conglameration of different lines. Proportions aren't too bad, but again, it looks very odd.
You'd prefer "normal" and boring?
Heart:
Proportions are off and I have no idea what the hell that black thing is doing on the angel wing.
The bone looks as if it's a 'deceptive' angel. Devious good side, such as evil Angels when they turn into Demons and what-not.
Nice guess, but no...
Snake:
Is he deformed? He has two arms on one side, and one on the other. The chest looks like a conglameration of bones that someone through into his body. They need to be more defined. The fire isn't destructive enough. There should be smoke and there should be cracks around the hole to make it look like it protruded from the Earth, and not as much like a Cauldron.
Who said he had an even amount of arms? I think, total, he has 5. The stuff about the fire, though, is a good point, I can use my new smoke techniques
Screwed:
Not bad. Few things though:
The dragon's tooth looks painted on and needs to be integrated with the bottom lip. I know ears are hard, VERY hard, but you need to work on the Elf's ears and lip a bit. The lip needs to be shaded a bit as well as the ear.
The dragon is TOO defined, if you ask me. Work on making the jaw a bit more circular and making the lip not so steak-like. It looks like I could rip it off, put it on my plate, and I would have myself a steak.
The "dragon" is a stone demon dog
Hence the defined-ness of him. He's been crafted, not born.
Karma and Effect
I know where your inspiration comes from, and don't take this offensively, but:
Dear God! What have you done to this picture? It looks like you took the original picture and put it in an oven for 40 minutes!
The eyebrow is WAAAAY to big, my god. I have no idea what's in the bottom right corner, and the pupil or whatever that is is WAY to big. Eyelashes are to numerous and to short. I can barely comment on this because half the things in there I can't really tell what theya re...Is the thing above his eye an eyebrow or some marking or what-not? If it isn't, he needs an eyebrow, or a less bushy and unmarked one.
Already addressed this, but more specifically:
That's just shading for the form of the head, not an eyebrow. There is no eyebrow. With the lack of comments, comes a lack of response
Smoking thing:
Nice effect, I like how it's smoke-like and it's curved throughout the picture. Mouth needs some work and needs to be more faded and the eyes need to be less defined. The writing at the bottom also needs to be a bit darker. A BIT.
Like I said, this was my first go at this, so hey, it's all good
Um, I don't know why those letters are so faint. They're not shaded at ALL, defined lines... Don't ask. DAMN YOU, SCANNER!
Thanks
First attempt at something like this... The colored one was experimenting with the types of colors and tools I had around the room... Odd effect.
