[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.

[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

[Hello and Welcome]

Needs more

~~REVIEW~~
ok now here is something its not very much there, so not much to coment on but what there is, its cute, i do however like the "FRESH" colors and look you like whith the characters color, and such, the backrounds seem to be very bland, and there was just not enough frames, i do like the borders that were in this, now you can improve on this add some color to the frame, a bright standout color would be a nice addition, and then add something to the backrounds, aslo with the one where there is like fireworks and such you should make that more "IN YOUR FACE" so its more like a suprise, but anyways hope this review and a few of the ideas can help to improve on what you were trying to present us with, anyways good luck on your next entries

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
needs more color like in the borders, and more content in the backrounds, also more jumping out effects

[The fastest dragon alive]

Oh that dragon

~~REVIEW~~
Yay dragons are always my fave there is just somany ways you can go with dragons and the one you have here is more of the basic kind but still you presented it very well, i think you should have put in another dragon in the "DISTANCE" now i see all these logos and names and signatures all over your work now i do understand you dont want people taking your work and all and you want advertisment, but it kinda downgrades the actual picture, couldnt you just put a "WATERMARK" somehow so that it doesnt take away the actaul art viewing, the dragon itself is pretty cute maybe you should add a trail of some baby dragons, it would be neat since the dragon was very cute like, and such, I like that you added some borders in this but you should give it more detail maybe add abit of texture to it and or make it more thick, hell i would even go as far as make some "SPIKES" along the borders so its more dragon like, well hope you liked a few of my ideas, anyways keep up the good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Make the border more dragon like, like i explained above, also add maybe some baby dragons and or a dragon in the distance

[Afrika Bambaataa]

nice and purple

~~REVIEW~~
I really like the msg you had it is and can be true in many ways so really awsome effort in presenting a great msg, ok now onto the art piece, now you have a solid color in purple which i think is such an awsome color to work with, so awsome job, now while i do like purple and it looks good here it would have been nice with another color like a blueish and have them work together somehow, i think this could also use some "FRAMES / BORDERS" maybe if you kept this purple them go with a deep dark purple for the frame and or borders around the edges, makes it feel more like a poster type of thing, just an idea though, aslo you should think about making the canvas larger so you can add more to the msg and or other art images, just gives it more depth, another idea that may help improve on something alreay good. also i like the guys glasses i could see you making them really bright to make a little nice effect for this image, but other then that it was a nice piece, hope to see some more work from you soon

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some frames borders would be nice, also adding anew color along with the purple would be nice, and you could probably add alot more msg and other images if the canvas was larger

J-qb responds:

Thanks for the thorough critique; Its very much appreciated.
As for the canvas size; the contest required that the entries were 550*400 pixels (this one is double the size) so I couldnt really make it much bigger.
Thanks though!

[Asari Escort Or Assassin?]

Nice 3d

~~REVIEW~~
Nice "3d" Rendition of the Asari's, not sure i have seen much of that on here, i do like your picks of the colors, "RED" over the blue, it is a nice mixture of colors and match nicley, so nice job there, as for the backrounds, it was very "SCI-FI" not so sure that fits too much, might have been better if it was more "JUNGLE" backrounds, the backrounds you have remind me more of something outa starwars or something, but as for the character design notbad good color tone, nice design the clothing was good, allthough the lower half body seems abit too revealing, but thats just me also, but still nice detail on the clothing and once again nice use of color, as for the face features it doesnt look all that "LIFE-LIKE" maybe due to the 3d but other then that its not a bad art piece. keep up good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
a few things but i would start off with the less revealing of certain body parts, but not too much to not take away from your art piece, i would change the backround to something more like a jungle or something
