Love the texture

~~REVIEW~~
Love this art piece, it has a very nice texture from the paints/pencils im thinking more pencils? but anyways this little piece you have here really seems to tell abit of a story, now at-first i thought it was paintings in the backend there but as i looked at it much more it looks more like the window to the outside world which really made much more sense of it all, now he has a mask and just his hair showing off which was neat and good use of colors aswell as great textures, as to improve on this, i would work more on that window or bars you have back there give it more of a cleer look as to it looks like bars, i was un-clear there at-first so that might be something to work on or in a future painting, but really you have an awsome piece here and i was pleased to see it great stuff indeed. so just fix a few things as suggested its not even something that needs changing just my point of view.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
not much but maybe make the window look more like bars or something of that matter.

KannibalKim responds:

yea i do have to work on it. It looks weird because of the waxy coating the colored pencils give off. but when i figure out how to get rid of that, i'll take another pic :D

[Dead Sun]

Nice could use more though

~~REVIEW~~
this one was interesting, i like the glow of it and the lighting effects, allthough you could have used more of the lighting effects to represent it more, now its called "DEAD SUN" so there is probably not much life in it but i think if it has some life, you should have some flames in there left just a tad here and there, like a flame that is almost out and maybe it could blend with the blue aura around it aswell, just something that would spice up this piece abit more, and now as for the "BACKROUND" if this is a dead sun in space you should probably do a little something with it, like some stars and a space feel hey even a "SHOOTING STAR" wouldnt hurt or maybe even other "PLANETS" in the distance, these are just a few ideas that might help. you have to really fill in all areas so it gives the viewer the feel of really being there, now you have the lighting effects down and an idea, it will all come together in time so good luck and awsome piece once again.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few ideas i mentioned above i hope that will help like, some backround starsm planets and so-on and even some flames around the main planet aswell.

[STick Star War]

A battle of energy

~~REVIEW~~
Wow now here is something really interesting and i love your lighting effects style and you mixed it with other kinda art, thats what i was talking about with your other stuff that has just the lighting style, now the "STICKS" would not be my first choice on other mixture of art, but it seemed to fit well, the only thing i didnt like on this would have been the "BLUE" beams that was around the stick to the left, but other then that i was impressed especially with the backround and all the colors it made it a really complete art piece, now also this could have used even more lighting effects as this was a "BATTLE" so really think of the battle and give all this energy around it, so then making it really feel like the battle is taking place, so i liked this it could use abit of fixing up but also is ok by what i saw, anyways another good piece here hope to see more from you soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few fixes could take place such as, some more lighting effects, and maybe a differant choice of character but its still an ok piece.

[Abstraction 2]

Colorful

~~REVIEW~~
I am slowly getting to your other pieces, you seem to realy like the "LIGHTING" effects and such. im thinking you should change up styles now and then, while the lighting style is awsome, try and mix it up more like you did with the bob one, which i thought was pretty fantastic, as for this one you seem to have lots of stuff all around and in odd places. some stuff was not needed such as the crcles with the X's and stuff, i just think there is too much stuff in this one, so lose a few props and and try and work in other forms of art like your bob one were you had a green very smooth looking piece, so too much is not always a good thing, but too bland is not a good thing aswell, i did like this but some fixes need to take place on this one i thought, anyways good luck on your next entry.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
In this one i thought you had too much stuff going on, lose a few props here and there and also i would be better to add differant styles of your art in there aswell.

Shikhs responds:

yep you are right shouldnt have cramped up the space

[Bronze face in the desert]

Very Artistic

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm this was pretty neat, the art piece gives off an "ARTISTIC" feel which is the kind i like to see i love how you just went very random with this with the clocks and all and just everything all over the place, really something that you could see in story books and all, i was very amazed with it all, now i think this can be even better then what it is, like it was somewhat bland in the upper right area of the canvas, and i feel some stuff should be in there to give the art piece a more full and show off more of that artistic style, like a suggestion could be that there is some sorta hole in the sand spitting out other parts like maybe other clock parts and what not, but with all that said its an awsome piece very artistic somewhat bland but this can be fixed somewhat to be improved, anyways nice job all around

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Have the sand spitting out other parts like maybe other clock parts and so on, use the canvas to your advantage and fill in areas here and there give it the full artistic feel

[King Blob and his Minions]

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

[Bahamuts Playing Poker]

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.

~X~

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!
