Thanks to everyone who commented on this in the WIP thread - I think it's about as far as it's going to go... although I've said that before and keep messing with it. Oh well... an artists work is ne ...

hey - cool pirate!!!!
Is that a bandana on his head? hard to tell (from my end).
Maybe if you had the hint of cloth draping casually down his shoulder.
I'd think about adding some wrinkles and cre ...

Hi all...
I've decided to just wrap this one up, since I've gotten to where I'm just tinkering in the little things. I'm really happy with how it came out. It's got some deliberate funkyness to it, ...

Well... I still have a lot to do, especially in the background and lighting area. But, I thought I would post another step to show what kind of progress is being made on it. I did change his face a ...

Ideas? That's your job! Wink

The crit that immediately comes to mind is that you need a consistant light source.

Heh... so true. Okay - ideas I've got.
I won't disagree with you on the light ...

Okay, this one has a ton of work that I want to do to it, but I thought I would come to you all for some crits on possible directions and ideas.

This started as a sketch that ended up in photoshop. A little character named Klack. C&C are welcome, but it's pretty well done at this point. I've modified it enough that I'm ready to move on to t ...

Hi Socar!
(long time follower of your work)
I like this one a lot. As usual, your paintings have so much story to tell.
That tree just kills me at how well done it is!

It strikes me odd though ...

Indeed, I think this is very cool. It's very nifty to look at and think about.
Here's my take on the hands issue...
They don't look too bad, but they are a bit noticable - so it all depends on how ...

The symbol is actually part of the story's logo.

Damn, it's been too long since I've posted anything here.
Anyway, I'm creating a collection of illustrated short stories called "Council of the Seven Skins" and thought I'd share a couple of the char ...

I think the changes you've made look good - on the right track, to be sure!
This image has a neat feel to it.
The only suggestions I have are just for fun, and can be taken however you like.
What i ...

ah... I understand what you mean now.
hey!!! flawed design???
*sigh* you do have a point.

I'll see what I can do!

Feel like giving me a paintover to help out?

Periadam - I took your advice and finished the background last night first... since then, I've also decided to adjust a lot of the highlighting on the body, so that it's more backlit than before.
And ...

Let's see...
1) need to finish the wings
2) add a background (probably a nice cloudscape)
3) cleanup the details
Any other suggestions:?:

Very interesting character!
Before you leap into color (get it? leap? Laughing

) I would recommend cleaning up that scan first.
Try converting it to greyscale, to get rid of some of the color noise, and ...

Great job!!!
I love the details... so cool.

And hey - don't sweat the single response thing.
I've noticed that feedback moves slow around here.
I don't usually get too many m'self.
*grin*

Wonderful!!!
Ever thought about making a whole gallery of cats?

Thanks Tinusch,
I never know how people are going to react to different things - so, I disclaim as much as I can just to try and cut back on the knee-jerkers that jump up and down on the keyboard wit ...

agreed!!
this is very good stuff!
Very Happy

I plan on coloring this whenever I get a chance, but I just can't seem to stop tweaking the lineart. *shrug*
yeah.. I know the trident needs a lot of work.

Occasionally I'm lucky enough to work with an illustrator friend of mine who sketches some fabulous art, and asks me to color it for her.
The link below is our latest peice, called "Poe". I did all ...

wow - great work!
I would consider refining the lower torso a bit - to further imply the folds of cloth and the shape of the legs underneath. As it is, it seems a bit too "pillar-ish" to me.
(unabl ...

I like this - it has great personality to it.
My only critiques (and take them for what they are worth) are:
I'm not sure that I like that she's transparent... make her more prominent in the image a ...

I like it! Very cool...
you should try adding some little wrinkled up nose holes.

Wonderful work! Very inspiring for me.

I wanted to start getting some feedback on a sketch that I'm doing. Eventually, this will end up digitally colored, but for now, I just want to keep refining the pencils until I'm fairly satisfied wi ...

Here's one with an updated sky.
Let me know if you all find it more appealing.
OK?
thanks!!
(and here I thought it was finished.... guess it's true that art is _never_ finished).

hm... perhaps.
you know, all this got me to realizing, then thinking about a technical flaw that is here.
If it's supposed to be a sunset, then where's the other light source coming from to light th ...
