[Ivan Schpeckov]

nice detail in this one

~~REVIEW~~
Now this is something very well done i thought and so much detail and realistic feel, as for dommi-fresh yeah i have reviewed some of his work and its pretty impressive, infact i think he has the most art on here not sure though, but anyways back to you piece the seals that was not bad bad, but seemed to work the edge so i think some might not like it but regardless i thought it was one hella detailed action art piece from the snow to the blood, allthough i would like to see more blood splatter all around and such, and more snow flying around as well, like his foot is really stamping the ground, and not to be too picky but maybe abit more shine on the weapon aswell, anyways nice job and really good piece once again, keep up the fantastic work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few effects here and there could be touched up but other then that its pretty impressive

[The tale of boxing]

another Fantastic piece

~~REVIEW~~
Now here is your first ones i think, but anyways its a nice rendition of a "BOXING" story now im thinking its more of a fight since someone mentioned no gloves on and now that i see that, and it pretty much looks like the guys head is coming off, heh i think in that little part you should add some color with some blood right there will give the art piece abit more, now i really loved all the detail and effort you have put into this, i also like that its not just all nudes, now dont get me wrong i love the ladies but this was a differnt touch on it, so nice job all around and while this may have been some earlier work it was still impressive i thought, i think some of the backround detail was abit blurred at times, and wouldnt mind seeing some more color or evene spots of color here and there, But once agai it was a pleasure reviewing one of your pieces once again, good luck

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
some spots of color here and there and more clarity on the backround details

Fantastic

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm well glad to see you making other stuff and with this one i like the "LIGHTED" effects but this time you rreally added some other stuff in there like the green star, at the top which i thought was very fresh and neat looking, so nice job on bringing some new stuff in here it really shows the more effort on improving and new ideas, but anyways this Art piece of yours you have here its like if a war is going on and the creature is fighting other elements and such, Now i think if this was a battle say somewhere in space or something like that you can improve on this piece by presenting it better maybe some stars in the backrounds or maybe other battles taking place in the far distant, something that really shows story and action at the sametime, now you have presented something nice here, maybe not your best of works but you improved in bringing new and exciting new styles and thats what i liked the most from this one anyways keep up the good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I would like to see some stars or even other battles in the distance, also like the green star i would love to see more fresh stuff like that

another Fantastic piece

~~REVIEW~~
Haha this did very much remind me of the "DOGS" portrait thingie thats so famous now, but anyways, this was kinda neat and nifty, i like all the dragons and the differant angles, some of em kinda looked somewhat flast but i can understand that, it was still a good idea of an art piece, the backround i was impressed with as it had a really good artsy feel, and the table and chairs was pretty neat too, if i can suggest something on the chairs though that would be to have some "SHINE" to them unless they are wooden or something might give off a neat effect, this was a pretty good art piece and i really enjoyed it, i like your bird one much better but this dragon one is neat and shows good effort on your part putting this all together, Now you said you used "PHOTOSHOP" maybe you should have had some more effects in there, such as the big "LAMP" have a light beem come down or have the table more lighted up in that area, i would even go as far as having the "CLOCK" table lighted up somewhat, but other then that i thought it was another great piece by you, keep up the awsome art pieces

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few suggestions were more lighting effects like the clock and lamp, and maybe some shine on the chair, and maybe more depth in some of the dragons so they are not so flat.

reverend responds:

All good points. Yeah they do look a little flat; more defined shading is in order for the dragons and the chairs and tweaking with the lighting.

Thanks for the review!

[Scissor Tail in Flight]

Very nice use of colors and blending

~~REVIEW~~
Now i noticed this on your profile and thought i would review it, its actually pretty good, i like the "LIGHT" touch of colors, on the bird and the over view ground, Now i dont really know much about this type of bird but i wouldnt mind seeing the the wings span abit more, really great use of colors and how you blended it into the next one, the overview shot of whats below, atleast i think thats what it is, but you should show more stuff down there maybe some shrubs, some dirt piles, maybe hills and even trees, might give the whole art piece more idea of where the bird is flying through, another thing and or effect that might be nice, is maybe addome some not alot but some "WIND-STROKES" its not really needed but seems like it could be just another added effect that may improve on your art piece, so with all that said i did enjoy this, i didnt even know you had some art but glad to know i found these, and hope to see more of your work sometime soon, and keep up the awsome art stuff, this was very original i thought.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated above some more overview, of whats below, trees, dirt trees, etc, and maybe even some windstrokes aswell

~X~

reverend responds:

When I read your review and you thought it was an overhead view, I knew I messed up. I added a horizon in order to show how it's really meant to be viewed and in do time I'll add some backgrounds as you mention. Thanks for the review!

Fantastic

~~REVIEW~~
Wow very nice, i was very impressed here, now this is the kind of art i like to see, and love the style, how long does it take you to finish up one of these pieces? my wife took a few classes, so its kinda neat, but anyways, really liked the shades on this and a great pose you have of the character, im thinking it would be neat if say you added a moon maybe in the upper left corner, with the light shining on the guy giving you room to use some other type of lighting shades in that case, or even use just a light post, just an idea that might make it look abit more interesting, but from this piece its really neat and impressive, I am just thinking it needs something in that area where there is noting, but its pretty good as is just thought i would throw out a few ideas, these types of art pieces always seem to be my fave i enjoyed reviewing it and hope to see more of your fantastic art pieces, anyways keep up the good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As mentioned some more lighting effcets such as moonlight or even a lightpost.

[Give me a break..]

Needs abit more

~~REVIEW~~
Interesting art piece here and this actually seems to fit well for a "DESKTOP" screen, i still feel that something can be done with all the overhead bland areas this is something i tend to comment on alot of art pieces, but i guess you didnt add much so that the "ICONS" can be seen better? but if not you should fill in the bland areas. maybe something like an overhead "CITY DROP" but you could possibly do it in a light shade as to not effect the desktop icons, well just something to think about, your character looks pretty good very good colors i like the pinkish colors while everything else is more blandish, now if you didnt want to go that rout of the backround you could still do something with it like some shades but again lightly so it doesnt effect the icons from the desktop, but anyways hopeyou enjoyed the review i know i enjoyed your art piece.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
the over head area needs something maybe it be shades of light colors or some backdrop or something along them lines

~X~

kmau responds:

I actually use this smaller version as my desktop wallpaper now, with a black space containing all my icons surrounding it to make it look like a window. A real background would make sense now, but I don't feel that something like a city skyline would fit since she would be indoors looking out.
Well I still have the .ai soooo I'll probably try to come up with something.
Thanks for your review, always better than 0 / 10 .

[Taudzi Wallpaper]

Needs abit more

~~REVIEW~~
Now this was kinda neat, i like your character here with a big yellow head, and looks like theres a story here to tell, and looks like something is going on, the backround is kinda like a blast so i wonder what this guy is yelling or talking about, so with that said i feel this needs an audiance, maybe if you had at the bottom of the canvas shadowed heads, like if the guy is speaking to a croed of people, now even with that i wouldnt mind also seeing some text in here to give the viewers of this piece something to go on, more then just the image, some random crazy text would be nice such as "YABBA DABBA DOO" allthough i wouldnt put that in there just an idea to work off of, all and all you have some good work here, great colors for the backround, funny character and some story within the story, so work with it more and tell us more. hope the few i deas i did show help abit, anyways good luck

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
needs some text above his head, maybe some people he is talking to give it some story.

~X~

DonStracci responds:

Thank you for the review! In fact the background was made pretty fast just to make a wallpaper. I made the character without the red light and with transparent background at the first place. I always do so in order to introduce it in a animation. My plan for this character was as you said to make a crowd but in a video, making every single persons one by one and transform them in a 3d layer as the character aswell. Thank you again for the review, feel free to ask me if you want more informations.

[Ventus]

has a few bland points

~~REVIEW~~
I remember playing kingdom hearts and this was not a bad piece at all, i love the "SWORDS" coming out or just being a good effect, im thinking you could have more of an effect though, also i noticed you have some bland spots in more of the upper right to lower middle, just seemed abit on the bland points more, so while your character and the swords is a nice effect i would love to see more with this and fill in those blank spots maybe with more effects like you did with the swirds and or some other characters, to be honest i feel this whole piece needs much more effects like with a glow effect kinda like waht you been doing with the swords and such, hell it might be funny and amusing and kinda random if you placed some cute character like a "BUNNY" in the bland spoot it would reall show some random effort, but anyways you have a good piece here and i enjoyed reviewing it hope to see more from you soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
as mentioned. add some randomness at the sametime filling in the bland areas

[Heavy Sword]

Awsome

~~REVIEW~~
First off the blade is very impressive, i love the "TWIST" and its been so long since i played majars mask so i dont remember anything like that, but you 3d version of this is very impressive, i love all the little added axtra features like at the end of the handle the red ball, and the blue like crystal in the blade, now i think those two points i mentioned could have a sorta glow effect like maybe the "SUNLIGHT" is hitting there, and if your gonna have a sunlight hit the blade, the "GOLD" edgings should have a much more brighter shine it should already have a brighter shine without any sunlight hitting it, but anyways the sunlight is just an idea to give the blade more of that effect and to standout more, something to think about i guess. but anyways you have a good looking blade here, i posted a neat idea that can help to improve on your already neat wepon here, so keep up the good work i like what you got here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Have some "SUNLIGHT" beaming down on the blade giving some shine to the gold coverings and or other parts of the blade

~X~

Nanakisan responds:

actually i originally thought of a glow effect for the red and blue crystals but immediately discarded that because of how long the render would have taken.
