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!

Love the red hair

~~REVIEW~~
Wow now this was a really intense drawing here, i am in love with this girls red hair, its an outstanding drawing and sketch as you say, her "NAILS" seem too long if you ask me, that one "THUMB" one especially, it might be the only blemish in this drawing as this was welldone even if you dont think so yourself, but really its an awsome piece of work and ill add this to my faves, now as some extra "DETAIL" like maybe give her a few tatoo's here and there, it will reflect on the dark theme you have going in this one, my fave part of this art piece was the red hair and the fine detail, now i like the "CLOUDS" around the legs but it might look much better if it was, more all around her so like a vampire she is coming out of it somehow, anyways nice art piece here, i really liked this one and i will add it as my fave

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
have more clouds around, add some tattoos, and maybe clean up the nails abit as it looks odd

~X~

zigan responds:

Thanks for the review and kind words. I did want to add more tattoos but was running out of time, and for the fact I didn't want her body to look too cluttered. Thanks for the fave as well. ^^

Also thanks to everyone so far for the comments. :)

[Digimon Fans are Really Hot]

It is cute

~~REVIEW~~
WOW this was pretty damn good, you are very "BOLD" you showed lots of "SKIN" in this one but i suppose that was sorta the idea but you did dress here up abit it is a her i think lol, but anyways onto the review, the character design was very welldone almost perfect, there was alot of skin but i like how you dont really show much of what would be "RAUNCHY" but anyways good design good colors also nice job on the shadow just there on the back of the shirt it reflected well, you also presented us with some good backrounds, all and all you have some awsome skills that really brought out a unique character with awsome shades and details, if anything could work even better i would give the "EYE" on the head piece a bit of a "GLOW" it would set it just perfect i think, maybe even have someone peeking an eyefull in the backround hehe, ohwell nice job here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
put a glow effect on the eyeball on the head piece, and maybe have another character in the backround peeking an eyefull or something

~X~

Tootmania responds:

Thanks for the neato review! And that's actually a cool idea, the whole glowing eyeball helmet thing. And thanks for the kind words!

Nice variaty of work

Now you have a nice variaty of work here very "COLORFUL" stuff from the sun to the running elephants, atleast i think they are running, but you have really filled the "CANVAS" from top to bottom with alot to see, and you have a pretty good creative side which is always nice, i think the onlything lacking here is probably that it doesnt have any "BORDERS/FRAMES" along the edges which i think if you had some maybe even a colored up one since thats kinda your style, it would workout perfectly, but with all that said you have some fantastic work here and cant wait to see more soon

As explained some borders would fit i think.

~X~

UnderARock responds:

yeah I see what you mean, borders are nice

Lime green

Well this was notbad i like it to be honest, its a really light feel as is the color, the backround, has really nothing to the visual view, but as for your main drawing here its very "FRESH" looking probably mostly from the light color, now this can still work with some sorta backround you dont have to go all out with some crazy dark stuff but maybe a darker mint green would sufice on the lime green of the drawing, or even a grey backround but even if you didnt go that way you could alsways go with a scenery or backdrop something along them lines

My improving suggestions would be add some sorta backround even if its a solid color that reflects with the main drawing

~X~

PixelCake responds:

I think you missed the part where I said it was for the MONOCHROME ART COLLAB IN THE ARTIST'S COMMENT.
It's not supposed to have a background because I was limited to just those colors. Sometimes not having a bg makes the subject pop more.

Why is the bulk of NG so dead-set against a fucking bit of simplicity?

More basic then the rest

~~REVIEW~~
Now this was not your best, more basic and simple then the rest but still has a neat design or character not sure there, but it can be improved on such as adding some backround or some landscape in the distance, also giving the character more detail and ofcourse use of more color all around, as for the "SIGNATURE" i think you can either lose that or give it a more fancy feel as its abit on the sloppy side so could work either way, anyways its notbad for what it is

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Remove or make the signature more fancy maybe blend it with the backround more, also more details needed for the characters face

[Tyrannical Boss]

nice work here

~~REVIEW~~
Now here is another nice piece of art from you with lots to seem the pink creature being whipped seems like he is suffering so in that aspect of things you might want to show more emotion in that area, now your best work in this art piece is the Tyrannical boss now ofcourse thats your focus of art right there, his "WHIP" atleast i think its a whip seems lacking in design it needs abit of two tone color to it, and maybe a small design in it, as for the "TY" it was your best work here as i said awsome detail, lots of props and great skin texture to make it like it was really there, so nice work all around.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
add some design to the whip, and maybe show some emotion from the pink creature like he is in pain

~X~

Celx-Requin responds:

I agree...

Thanks,

[Shark: Shattered Guns Poster]

a poster you say

~~REVIEW~~
Now i love posters and this one actually does look like a poster, i love your sense of "COLOR" you use it at the right times which i think really brings out your stuff such as this one with the red and black and have the colors intertwine at times, its a nice style that notmany use so props to you on this style, so as this is a poster i think, in my opinion that posters need, "BORDERS/FRAMES" or if not that like "PINS" in the corners of the poster, just an odea though, so this was pretty neat with the swords and guy but i would like to see more then one guy in there, maybe there was a fight or something, you could have one guy standing and one guy dead well something along them lines, anyways it was a pleasure reviewing this.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add more characters to the scene, maybe add some borders / frames along the edges or pins as explained above

~X~

Celx-Requin responds:

Yeah a border would have been a good idea, I'll keep it in mind for any other posters I may decide to do!

Thanks,

[CoolJaw Comic Preview]

Nice

~~REVIEW~~
ok now this was neat, i really like the "WHITE" over the "BLACK" backing it gives it a unique viewing of the art, and this is also kinda neat because of the touch of blood coming from your characters mouth, makes you wonder what else is in this lil story or behind it anyways, i think this could be better like make some blood drops and or stains in the distance, like if the guy just came from that type of chaos and or madness, and i think it wouldnt hurt to add some color in the eyes it wont take focus away from anything but probably give more detail to this character

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
add some color into the eyes aswell as some backround history of the maddness he just came from

~X~

Celx-Requin responds:

I read it too tired to respond to it coherently.

Thanks,
