Needs some color

~~REVIEW~~
ok so this was intersting, i think you said something about adding color to your works or even newer stuff, this drawing or sketch could use some of that color, maybe not {FILL-IN} but probably just adding differant colors with with the sketch lines and such, it wouldnt over kill on color but at the sametime give some color to the linework,just an idea there that would make this somewhat even better then it already is, something you should think about trying, so some extra color would be nice key, other then that i thought it was alright, so untill next time, good luck on anything new you may be working on.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
some color {LINE-WORK} would be a start

saramary3 responds:

Thank you so much for the feedback!It's much appreciated. Yeah, I think with this one some color would be very nice as well. I'm not sure if this is a style that I'm going to pursue further, though.

Unique

~~REVIEW~~
ok so here is something {DIFFERANT} every once in awhile we will get stuff like this on the portal and this one was pretty {UNIQIE} glad you got a good grade on it, and this is art you see alot of this type of stuff in art shows and stuff, so this was interesting, now i think this would have been better if you had a differrant backround the one you had there kinda didnt allow for the picture to be focused on it was more of hard to see with the {PATTERN} backround it should have been probably just a white sheet or something, so ther then the backing it was alright and i thought it was pretty nifty

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just the backing should be a more {SOLID} not a patteren.

Nice and unique

~~REVIEW~~
Awsome this was very impressive i love the {UNIQUE-NESS} of it, i think i remember reviewing past work of yours, this one was very unique again like all your other work, i love all the differant, creations, and just really using imagination with the most unexpected creations, even some of the most random stuff aswell, it just is a great piece indeed, the backrounds were nothing too spectacular, but still seemed to work with what you had going, i especially love the {FISH} on the guys head, lots of detail in this one, and overall very welldone, anyways i dont see how you can improve on this, its pretty good thought, nice job.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
maybe some better detail in the backround other then that its alright stuff.

Nice designs within designs

~~REVIEW~~
Now this was really {CUTE} the drawing was cute the smooth curves and lines was great so nice effort on the linework, i thought that some of the {LINEWORK} could have been more {THINNER} ?? but still it was pretty interesting, now ofcousre some {COLOR} would have really spiced things up i could see some purples, and reds and so on but thats something to think about when doing these i love how you didnt just work on one design but a mixture of designs, seemed to all come together and i was impressed with that so nice job, anyways keep up the good work and i hope to see something new from you real soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some new ideas were made like, some color ofcourse, some thinner line-work, and so on

~X~

saramary3 responds:

I'm currently working on adding color to my stuff. I agree that in some areas it could have been thinned out line wise. Overall a very fair review! I appreciate your suggestions and will try to work on these areas in my future postings! Thank you!

[Strange brew]

I like it

~~REVIEW~~
ok so this was something differant, i really like the {GREEN} of the main character, and with all the nice little {DETAILS} like in the backround stars and other elements, the {HORNS} were specially nice, so what could we improve on this piece? im thinking you have too much {DARKNESS} to everything and you could {SHINE} up things with some glow and shine and more lighting effects, like maybe the tip of the horns, and that element above the character, and even a glowing {STEW} would be nice, so other then that it was a nice art piece and i really enjoyed seeing this, and hope to see more soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Try and improve on the little effects like lighting shines and glows, and a little less darkness

~X~

WiZBiN-Yoshi-1 responds:

thank you , Im in a powerstruggle when I lay out the values -as can be seen on "goodbye bill" pieace , although no color. I find this helpful that people point this out , yet still see something in my pictures.

thank you.

[Over and over]

Decent

~~REVIEW~~
haha ok this one was more amusing then anything else, the color was simple the design was simple too having it animated was nice and made it more unique wich was a plus for me, i liked this one, very good here even as simple as it is, the {THEME} of friday flood is interesting i wonder what you all will come up with next, anyways great stuff as always, hope to see more soon, untill then good luck.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Backrounds backrounds and even more backrounds lol

~X~

Merol responds:

Yes, I tried to keep it simple. I tried adding some clouds on the background but it just didn't look good :/

THANKS!

[RROOOOAAAAAAAARR!!]

Nice

~~REVIEW~~
And now we come to this version of the Friday flood, notbad sofar this may be my fave of them all, for the ver 8 anyways, the colors looked abit on the {DIM} side but that was ok i thought, lots of good shades and coloring, more like dragons here i thought, but still a good piece, i look forward to seeing more of these theme types from you all, anyways keep up the good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Since this is like a theme {FLOOD THE PORTAL} or {FRIDAY FLOOD} Why not have a description in the authers comments about that, kind of gives the viewers who dont know about it an idea and such.

Merol responds:

THANKS!
Hmm, I don't know, they look like dinosaurs to me!

I saw your comment on the Friday Flood thread, but for the other persons who don't know what the friday flood is...

[Friday Flood! 8]

Nice detail

~~REVIEW~~
So this one was another portal flood, or friday flood i mean, still confused about it all, but you have a nice piece here in this one, has some 3-d feel to it and all and is differant with some nice ideas and such, the colors could be brighter,now im thinking this is a dino? somehow it must be since thats the theme and all, but anyways it was pretty good i thought, anyways nice job.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Would be nice to add some brighter coplors on the lighter areas, As i have suggested to the others, Since this is like a theme {FLOOD THE PORTAL} or {FRIDAY FLOOD} Why not have a description in the authers comments about that, kind of gives the viewers who dont know about it an idea and such.

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

Thanks, but the colours are meant to be coppery/bronzish, and ever-so-slightly miserable to reflect the mood of the head.

Also I feel a bit odd on you reviewing my lack of author comments, since it's not part of my submission. It's quite fun to cause a bit of confusion in the art portal once a month, but the intention is to cover the page with thumbnails (which didn't happen this month!)

[Flood the Portal 8 - Dinosaurs]

Nice use of color

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so im not too sure what {FLOOD THE PORTAL} is but guess its make one theme by a number of users? as a tip to improve on that idea i suhhest you all put it in the comments, might even draw more attention to the other pieces, as for this one, its very colorfull and a good dino in the middle seems rushed and somewhat simple like, its not bad its kinda neat actually, i would love to see abit more {TEXTURE} in the dino but from what it is , its pretty good if you ask me, so to better improve on this maybe some more texture on the dino skin, and an update on the authers comments. anyways good stuff as always.

Spags responds:

Flood the portal is an activity that the art forum does once a month where everyone uses the same thumbnail in their piece so that the portal all has the same thumb if enough people participate.

I realize that this dinosaur is rushed, I had to make him in like 40 minutes, so you're pretty spot on there. I agree that a texture would have been nice, or at least some more detail.

Thanks so much for the constructive feedback!
