Love it needs color

~~REVIEW~~
WOW now this is cool, i really love checkerboards and chessboards, i have done a few myself, and this was pretty good, it could really use some color though, red and black or something like that it would really present itself much better allthough the fans seem to really like this, or what you could do is add some color in the backround only that might make for something differant, im also thinking it would look nice with maybe some chess piece or even a checker piece, i like the faded paint you gave it, but again it needs color to really bringout the image alot more, so as explained maybe a falling chess/checker piece would be a nice touch, i dont ming the black and white but atleast ad some color

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
add some color ofcourse even if its just a part of the image, then you could add some props in there like a checker piece and or a chess piece

[Mysterious Stranger]

Oh wow

oh wow this was really fantastic the reds have a deep colour, and then you added a nice shine to the reds in the right places, i also love how the bottom cape atleast i think its a cape, tails off it was a nice little feature you have, and now for the "CIRCLES" that was a nice effect making it a more uniqie image here very neat and deep colors all around really made this into a fantastic piece, overlooking the image several times theres somany nice effects from the circles, to the deep reds, and the mask and no head, it was just awsome and i had a pleasure viewing this, i plan to checkout more of your work.

Improving on this would be hard as you already have alot of great stuff so i would leave this be, anyways nice job all around

[Abstract Creature]

Awsome use of color

wow and awsome on the use of colors here, you really gave it a glowing effect that cameout well, and i like how you gave it some sorta brightness or some glow effect along it, i really wish you had a larger "VIEW" of it, and as for the design itself its abit on the plainside but its notbad, i do however like how it almost looks like you have your signature but its probably not unless im wrong, but still you have a nice design here though and the colors really shine through the brightness so really awsome job.

How to improve well the onlything i could see on this one would be to make a much larger design more waves and shapes and also a much much larger viewing area "CANVAS SIZE"

[Pengoon]

I love it

Wow this is very neat, the penguin and the man riding it wow i have played many games with creatures and never thought this idea would come up, but here you have presented us with a unique and very creative one, so props to you on the creativity of this, and on top of that you have a great use of textures colors and design, i think the onlything that really bothered me throughout this whole piece was that its all too "BLUE-ISH" now i know its a cold and ice place but it all is the simaular color maybe if the penguin was a differant color maybe even an orange or green it might help focus on the creature more, well just an idea there but overall you have a "FANTASTIC" art piece here, and i am looking forward to more of your work.

Change the color of the creature a red, orange or even green might help put more focus on him and away from all the blue you have

[Captains Blaster]

Now thats impressive

Now thats an impressive weapon, it has all sorts of appeal and just stands out very nice work here, i especially like the "BLADE" on it, its great for killing when out of bullets i suppose, but for the mostpart its a pretty good idea of a weapon, i like it, I do think you could have presented it on a more "LARGER" canvas to show off the more detail of each little point on the weapon such as, the gold trimming atleast i think its gold, and the logo, anyways great piece here

maybe make the canvas abit larger to see more of the detail

[Fractal Freakout]

Amazing

Wow this was pretty amazing, i liked it i reall love all the assortmant of colors and such, you really made this standout with some bright and balanced colors, i have added this one as my fave, just love everything about it, from the twisting stars to the balanced colors, so very welldone on this one, if anything can and could be improved on this i think it would be to add some borders and frames, and if you know me i tend to suggest that alot but for this one i think it fits very well, you could have some sorta coloered border all around the edges or some fanct frame with stars and such, well just a few ideas that may help in your next piece of art, untill then keep up the awsome art work

Improving? well as suggested some colored frame and or borders would be nice, something that accents your main piece.

Viamede responds:

thaks for the review, however i never use frames.

[Undead Führer]

oh very nice

Wow i really like this one. the red and black are very awsome in this one, mainly the red but the drawing itself is pretty awsome and this is also kinda creepy as well with the whole hitler being born on this april day but hey its an awsome drawings, the red and black shades are [retty good and the detail on the skulls are just as impressive, the backround i thought could be changed out maybe even a differant color, i could understand if you were going for the whole red theme and all but maybe even an orange would be neat, just a thought anyways, and like i mentioned on one of your other images, have a "GLOWING" eyes it would make it even better then it iis, anyways awsome job here

How to improve? well i think some glowing eyes would be neat and maybe a differant backround color besides the red one

~X~

TheShadling responds:

Once again awesome review man, I think glowing eyes would have been cool.

[Fear]

Initeresting

well notbad, the green color is a nice touch i thought, this reminded me of maybe some lost souls trapped in some element, you have captured that i thought, i also thought it could have been on a bigger canvas so you can show more of this maybe add some other creatures and such all around, you had a few bright spots in there i thought were neat "ORANGE/YELLOW" i think those should be brighter so they shineout abit more, just for the effect, and maybe lighten up the green tone just a tad, you have titled this "FEAR" and what you presented seems to fit that title, just a few effects here and there as i sated could help more for the showing of it, but you did present a good fear art style here, so nice job on this.

How to improve on this??? well like explained above i stated a few tips some on lighting, and maybe a larger canvas / Viewscreen, and adding more to it like a story is there anyways good job

TheShadling responds:

Very nice review mate! I appreciate it.

[Espada de la LUZ !]

Awsome effects

Wow i was looking at this and thought wow there is alot of nice "EFFECTS" you have in here like the blur effect from the backround grass and such, also the close up hand, and then again with the moon in the distance. these little things are what really get me enjoying these types of stuff, so props to you on an amazing effort on adding these effects that really bring out the art itself, I could see you adding just one more item for the backround maybe a dag or ball in the distance just something in the distance that is random but just gives the backround abit of life, now as for the character it was well drawn. and you have done well on the shades, they seem perfectly placed and makes it feel like you are really here, anyways nice job all around on this

How to improve? well add some random prop or character with the same blurr effect just for that extra touch on this

[Go, Spidey, Go!]

Cool

Hehe well this is also my fave webslinger and i like how you made him in a funny and silly way, and him just swinging away as he should be, i like that you have an ok backround there allthough im thinking a "CITY" backround might sifice much better as it represents him somewhat better but i think you know what i mean there, the red is notbad though, nice job on the colors and texture you have here, on your character its not plain and you really made it comeout of the just plain style so nice job there, maybe you should think about making more characters in this same silly mode though and in more entertaining matters like this one you have

Now how can this be improved on well like explained a more city backround ofcourse, maybe a thug in the backround wrapped up in a web for the police, it will give the art piece more story to it
