The eyes

Let me start off this review of this decent art piece with saying that this was a good piece of artwork, this shows some good effort on your part, and you really bring things together very well with this piece, There might be some recomendations later but you seem to have it down for the mostpart. The eyes are like if they are starring right at me so that was something neat and had a mystery to it, The whole piece was pretty good some nice sketching, good tone here, the only real issue i had was that maybe the dogtag was abit off but not by much, other then that this was actually a pretty solid piece, as for improvments maybe some more detail and scratches in the dogtag. And in closing you have some good artwork here some decent detail effort, and it shows, dont know if i can suggest any improvments but if i do you will see it, but other then that this was actually notbad and has some good effort behind it so nice job there.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
and once again i come to suggest a few idea that may or may not help but in the end i do hope these tips, ideas and any advice i do offer does helpwith this art piece and or future ones or just upgrades for that matter but for the most of it i enjoy the work you do here. But as for this one and above there is not much improvment i see maybe more detail in the dogtag thing she is holding, but other then that this was alright.

Differant but notbad

And so i start off this review and i have to say This piece was alot better then i thought, But again this was a pretty good art piece has a somewhat artistic value to it and thats one of the reasons why i was drawn to this, so nice work indeed with this piece you have here. You have a nifty piece here, i am really liking the black and white color here then you have a pinkish character aswell so that was neat, Im not too familuar with all the content and stuff but i must say its still pretty interesting and brings a "UNIQUE" to the boards, It does lack content though as there is not much there other then the characters but i guess it is what it is. And so that is that, Its a decent piece, there was some nice elements thatmade this come together, and a good use of skills to make it all look pretty smooth, nothing more i can say then that but do keep up the good work, effort in detail is always a plus. Anyways good art piece here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
For improvments theres a number of things you can do, I can think of a few ideas that may make this more vibrant and really bring it out and such, youjust have to be willing to go the extra effort, but anyways if i do post any tips and ideas i hope they do help. Well one idea might beto make the canvus size somewhat larger that way you can add more stuff and most of all more detail of your art, just an idea and its for sure to please. I would like to see more backround detail aswell, the black may be your theme and all but it would be nice to see some more detail then you had.

I think it served it's purpose...

Decent art piece

Ok well to start off this review, this was not a perfect piece, it was interesting and could be even better then it already is, I think for the mostpart this was a unique and interesting piece of art, so thruout the review i hope you will find some fun and possitive ideas. I think my first idea should be that you should change out the "BACKROUND" color or put some design back there because theres alot of black edges on the character like wings and what not that it blends too much into the backround, so a differant color might change that abit, also the "FONT" could be much better the rainbow one in lower left and the one in the backround, maybe something more fancy next time, and with more depth. The drawing is decent nice lighting and some good color tones the whole character is great, its just the backround that effects and blended in too much with the character. I got a good feel with this art piece, it was interesting yet it could use a few improvments as stated already, but overall i thought this was actually a pretty good piece, so keep up the decent artwork here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
And my ending notes are that this was decent but still could use a few changes here and there so here are a few ideas and hope they help if not on this piece then on a future piece, just some good possitive advice for better impovments. So the backround needs change not to blend with actual character, so make the backround a differant color. The fonts or texts could be differant as explained before, Anyways nice effort hope to see some upgrades soon.

DragonPunch responds:

I appreciate your feedback! I look forward to hearing from you again soon! :)

[Locust Fo' Evah]

very nice effects

So this was something neat and has a very good look to it, i really was attracted to how you used some effects like with the "BLURRING" out the backround as to keep more focus on the character, and there with the character very sharp and fresh looking nice lines and great color tones, the "PINK" horn on her head seems like it could have had more of a glow or shine to it though, This was a pretty good character design and drawing, maybe adding some shine to the metal would also help more of a sparkly type of shine, The "FONT/TEXT" you had up there at top was cool but maybe something more fancy would sufice, these are just some little details that could bringout the drawing abit more focus, anyways nice work indeed.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So while this was pretty decent i did suggest a few ideas that can make it somewhat more unique in a way so hope you consider some of the tips suggested, The pink like horn could use some shine too it, The font could have a more fancy look, And more shine on the metal, some spraklies here and there would be a great addition, just a few ideas to think about.

MindChamber responds:

i totally agree! and thanks for the tips!

[Beware of Dogtooth]

This was interesting

I really like the dark feel here and dark touch, also the touch of black and white with a touch of some blood was also a nice little piece of work there, this whole piece was great of a zombie like hunter, allthough the body "PORTION" seemed off as his legs looked odd from the rest of the body, maybe it was just the view of it and all, but it was no big deal just a little notice, i wouldnt mind seeing more blood someplaces and maybe some of the eyes in the backround more glowing and so on, just an idea and such.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I dont think you need to improve on anything particular, maybe just some more glow in the eyes of the distant zombies in the backround but thats about it i suppose.

sucho responds:

my perspective here was total shit. thankfully i think i have improved on that somewhat, if only through underconfidence and more photo-referencing.

[Elk's 2D Fighting WotLK RPG]

So this was interesting

I like this but the one thing that bothered me on this piece was that it was kind of small in size, so one improvment i would like to suggest is make a larger "CANVUS-SIZE" maybe then you can show more of that detail, even throw in a mix of more color aswell, these tips would improve on this greatly, it does need some mix of color though but other then that i thought this was a nice and nifty piece, anyways nice work here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Make a larger canvus, show more detail, but mostly add some more color.

ElkDarkshire responds:

its pixelart though :)

Tree people.

This was very "CREATIVE" i love these tree like people, and i thought there was a "SIMPLISTIC" feel about them with some "SOFT" touches of color and elements and that was kinda neat and made it interesting, also want to give you some props on the backrounds as you presented some related stuff it was again simple and that seems to work here so nice effort there, So very creative elegant and something exotic you have here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This was a cool art piece, some more darker shadow like feel in the backround would be a plus on this piece, but overall it was welldone.

ConnyNordlund responds:

Haha I thought the " were you being sarcastic at first.
Thank you!

As for the background; That's a good point. The piece was actually going to be a concept piece more than a illustration, I just dialed in the background in a few minutes so that it would make the characters more interesting. I know what you mean with darker shadows but I didn't want to go too dark so the characters become too unclear, since they had to work as concept pieces in the end.

[Western Zombies]

Zombies cool

Very nicework here, this was my choice of something to review today and the zombies really stuck out, you really gave it the dark touch and feel of it and such, I like how you put a couple of "ZOMBIES" in this kinda like they are in some attack phase, even the backround was pretty decent and was notbad atall, the drawings are good here, nice use of color to give that dark and grungy feel but really good in giving off the dark touch to it.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So an idea might to put more "BLOOD" more dripping blood, and maybe even farther aproach put some "SHADOWED" zombies in the backround like in the distance.

Artist-Lost responds:

Thanks for the critique ^.^ I see what you meen, some dripping flesh and blood like they have just fed would be a great touch, and the zombie silhouettes would make a good impression of a horde rather then just a cute zombie couple out for a wilderness picnic
