Hey - this is very cool, but it's a webpage? How is this ever going to download over the web?

Galen - I believe the term you're looking for is 'crusade'.
As in '... before faust and spitfire are in here continuing their crusade against anything that isn't handpainted...'

Very nice work Spit, ...

Let me guess, this stems back to your Spitfire design-bashing.

Faust, you know people ridicule what they don't understand...

I happen to like design.
Simply because you can make a bad design does n ...

Nice definition. This is art after all. http://www.sijun.com/dhabih/ubb/smile.gif

Now if you like it, or you don't (or think it's just a doodle), is entirely subjective. I find it's best not to d ...

Very cool work - I like it very much.
Good mood, nice surreal feel, I like the biomechanical aspects without bring to omuch like Giger. The spots add a lot to the creepy feeling, sort of a diseased ...

Spitfire - I'd like to say that I really appreciate this kind of art, and it's what I've been mostly interested in for a few years now, collaging painting, drawing, my photographs and 3d work.
I re ...

As another newbie, but long-time reader, I'd like to add my name to the 'this forum is going downhill quick and people are leaving' bunch.
Even this thread is bullshit that has nothing to do with an ...

I try to keep quiet most of the time, but I have to back up Chapel here - the sketch has much better composition, and is much more expressive and interesting.
I'd even go so far as to say the color ...

Good folds in the cloth, and slick coloring. He reminds me of Orko from He-Man.
My only crit is that he looks rather short.

I think the level of detail should be up to you... but usually the focus of a picture is more detailed than other areas.
I'd work on the face and figure a little more. The colors and perspective are ...

Not a bad sketch - I'm sure some kickass 3d artist over there can turn it into a 3d masterpiece.
Blur has attracted some of the better artists out there.

Tough post, really well done.

I love the steam you did about the guy's feet. My favorite part.
No crit - I like the harsh lighting. Keep it up.

Asking someone what they make isn't rude unless they're embarrassed about what they're making. I graduated in May, and I started a graphic design/web design/3d job for 55k. It is in NYC, which pays ...

Hmm... I can understand people not liking to do design, but it really hurts your work to be put in a sloppy page.
Or 'packaging counts'! I left Spooge's page the first two times I randomly stumbled ...

Awesome. I dig the flames, but I think they should cause more highlights on the armor.
This kicks ass in my book. But then again, I think photo reference is just as valuable as any other tool in th ...

Hey!
I'd like to know too. Sounds like a spooge question. Where is that kid?

I posted this once already, when you were offering to make a tutorial.
I'd really like to know how you manage to pick your values. It seems you have an inhuman knack for instantly picking the perfec ...

Lukias got it right-on:
This is good, and it says 'futuristic' and 'high tech' but you're passing up an opportunity to make some crazy convoluted Giger-nightmare biomechanical interface.
It's not to ...

I agree with the Epson - top-quality printer for the price. Once I got the color calibration fixed, my clients couldn't tell it from a photograph. http://www.sijun.com/dhabih/ubb/smile.gif

As alw ...

I think you know that nobody here would say 'you suck, off to bugerville with you...'

Your work has some promise, and like everyone else in the world, you could benefit from more training and educat ...

Hey - I really like this. Of course I always like people posting their first work, it takes a lot of courage to pin up your work next to the likes of Faust and Spooge...
So I like the color, the com ...

Every time I turn around Spooge makes me want to bang my head on this desk.

http://www.sijun.com/dhabih/ubb/smile.gif Hot diggity smack. Nods to Maggie too.

Add motion blur to the snow. It works wonders. (In Max, just right click the particle spray, go to properties, click on image motion blur, hike it up to about 1.5- 2.0)

Better in color -
One thing you might want to try, is to enlarge the face by about 250-300%, so that the skulls cover up a bit of the face.
From there maybe you can airbrush a bit to merge the two t ...

Hey Jason - you have to admit, after looking at Spooge's work, anything is possible in Photoshop. http://www.sijun.com/dhabih/ubb/smile.gif
Those certainly look 'painterly' to me.

Hey, I just made a snow texture.
Similar to what's already been said. Add a noise map in the bump channel (use the noise that looks like irregular chips). White/blue diffuse color, a fairly hot hig ...

Whoa. Very nice indeed!

The no reflections in the water doesn't bother me as much as the no ripples in the water. I seems like the top of the picture is heavy in detail, and the bottom has almost ...

Yeah, I love that site. Awesome work. Also check out: http://www.blink-studios.com/fragments.jpg

Of course you can go to art school for four years, and you should. You already know that's what you want to do, and you seem to have resigned into your programming job. Go back to school! Get a Ma ...
