[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.

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!

[Scissor Tail in Flight]

Very nice use of colors and blending

~~REVIEW~~
Now i noticed this on your profile and thought i would review it, its actually pretty good, i like the "LIGHT" touch of colors, on the bird and the over view ground, Now i dont really know much about this type of bird but i wouldnt mind seeing the the wings span abit more, really great use of colors and how you blended it into the next one, the overview shot of whats below, atleast i think thats what it is, but you should show more stuff down there maybe some shrubs, some dirt piles, maybe hills and even trees, might give the whole art piece more idea of where the bird is flying through, another thing and or effect that might be nice, is maybe addome some not alot but some "WIND-STROKES" its not really needed but seems like it could be just another added effect that may improve on your art piece, so with all that said i did enjoy this, i didnt even know you had some art but glad to know i found these, and hope to see more of your work sometime soon, and keep up the awsome art stuff, this was very original i thought.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated above some more overview, of whats below, trees, dirt trees, etc, and maybe even some windstrokes aswell

~X~

reverend responds:

When I read your review and you thought it was an overhead view, I knew I messed up. I added a horizon in order to show how it's really meant to be viewed and in do time I'll add some backgrounds as you mention. Thanks for the review!

[Taudzi Wallpaper]

Needs abit more

~~REVIEW~~
Now this was kinda neat, i like your character here with a big yellow head, and looks like theres a story here to tell, and looks like something is going on, the backround is kinda like a blast so i wonder what this guy is yelling or talking about, so with that said i feel this needs an audiance, maybe if you had at the bottom of the canvas shadowed heads, like if the guy is speaking to a croed of people, now even with that i wouldnt mind also seeing some text in here to give the viewers of this piece something to go on, more then just the image, some random crazy text would be nice such as "YABBA DABBA DOO" allthough i wouldnt put that in there just an idea to work off of, all and all you have some good work here, great colors for the backround, funny character and some story within the story, so work with it more and tell us more. hope the few i deas i did show help abit, anyways good luck

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
needs some text above his head, maybe some people he is talking to give it some story.

~X~

DonStracci responds:

Thank you for the review! In fact the background was made pretty fast just to make a wallpaper. I made the character without the red light and with transparent background at the first place. I always do so in order to introduce it in a animation. My plan for this character was as you said to make a crowd but in a video, making every single persons one by one and transform them in a 3d layer as the character aswell. Thank you again for the review, feel free to ask me if you want more informations.

[Heavy Sword]

Awsome

~~REVIEW~~
First off the blade is very impressive, i love the "TWIST" and its been so long since i played majars mask so i dont remember anything like that, but you 3d version of this is very impressive, i love all the little added axtra features like at the end of the handle the red ball, and the blue like crystal in the blade, now i think those two points i mentioned could have a sorta glow effect like maybe the "SUNLIGHT" is hitting there, and if your gonna have a sunlight hit the blade, the "GOLD" edgings should have a much more brighter shine it should already have a brighter shine without any sunlight hitting it, but anyways the sunlight is just an idea to give the blade more of that effect and to standout more, something to think about i guess. but anyways you have a good looking blade here, i posted a neat idea that can help to improve on your already neat wepon here, so keep up the good work i like what you got here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Have some "SUNLIGHT" beaming down on the blade giving some shine to the gold coverings and or other parts of the blade

~X~

Nanakisan responds:

actually i originally thought of a glow effect for the red and blue crystals but immediately discarded that because of how long the render would have taken.

[First Moleskine Drawings]

Notbad

~~~REVIEW~~
Well notbad first of all on your two sketches and such, it took me awhile to get to and find your art so i am glad i did you have a couple of nice sketches here, but i must say they are still hard to see even a close up version, but regardless they were both pretty good i thought have some sorta story to tell and nice sketches good line work especially with the hair and all, it could use a touch of color even if its just pencil or even pen, you have some nice stuff here i would love to see how you can process this with maybe photoshop and or paintshop pro, to really beable to give it some bright and fresh colors, would really be something neat, anyways good work, and i look forward to reviewing more from you soon

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
the artwork seemed very hard to see from the computer so maybe somehow you can maybe outline the work with a darker pen or something, some mixture with photoshop would also be nice and allow for some fresher color thems

~X~

Luxembourg responds:

Thanks for the review! Your score was pretty fair, although your review itself was a little peculiar in the language department. I get what's wrong with it, though. I've been improving with darkening lines, though, and I recently had some ebony pencils that I used to make thick, black lines. Problem is, I don't have a scanner anymore!
I usually only digitally touch up on pen drawings, by the way.

[YARD]

Hmm interesting

~~REVIEW~~
Hmmm well this was interesting and i really like the idea of "GRAFFITI" but with the one you have here its really hard to see the word "YARD"?? I think its because of all the extra stuff you have going in out and around, the lettering self is notbad ok color not too much shading but its slightly there, the texture is something you may want to work on though, So my suggestion for improving on this would be have the word yard show up or standout more or what you could do is have the main word "YARD" standout in one color, and have all the extra stuff mend into a differant color something lighter so that the word is the main focus point, i like your idea though maybe you will like mine.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some backround color besides the bland white would be nice, And have the main word "YARD" standout in one color, and have all the extra stuff mend into a differant color

~X~

GOSTEONER responds:

i could do backgrounds for future drawings, but backgrounds usually take focus off the main piece. i have to disagree with what ur saying about making the letters stand out more than the extra pieces, the extra pieces are what make it look like graffiti and less like a piece of typography. the real image has darker shading but once scanned the brightness of the scanner kind of distorts that.

[Adept]

Wow very awsome

~~REVIEW~~
Wow i was very impressed with this, infact i added it as my faves, but anyways this really reminds me of one of the older jedi from starwars?? but i guess its not. i really like all the effort in color like with your backrounds and even main charcter, the backrounds were pretty neat but i wouldnt mind seeing more visuals back there even, maybe also give the character like a glow effect around him maybe his eyes or whole head would be a nice little effect and such, maybe even have another character in the distance maybe thats the one character he is looking for, so what im saying with that is give the image abit of a story like something is going on, anyways nice job here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
add another character in the distance, sharpen up the backround cloudy effects, and possibly give the character some aura or glow for the extra effect

~X~

Seriously responds:

yeah I plan on drawing all of my friends characters from our DnD campaign, eight, maybe even sketch some of the situations we encountered (some where very funny and all were interesting). Thanks for the good review and the fav. :D

[{BT} Under Water]

Its notbad

~~REVIEW~~
This is notbad, it kinda reminds me of a skyline, some mountains then the ocean?? but anyways if thats what it is its all great, but i think you need to change up on some colors, like the ocean is fine with the color you have, but maybe the mountains could be slightly darker and such, then the sky could be maybe even lighter then the ocean itself, now you could add some sorta prop out there like a small boat or something, maybe a fisherman but it does need a "POINT OF FOCUS" something that gives the viewer a focal point, the image you do have is nice and pretty fantastic but it does need more to it, its more or less just a nice backround which can be used, but i hope you do ad more to this in the near future.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
add a focal point, something other then just the backround you have, and change up the colors abit so its not all blending and such

~X~

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks for your input.

[Falling apart.]

Interesting

~~REVIEW~~
This was neat i like all the blocks and even the uplifting msg you are sending across and such, now this could be much better i think, first off i think that thoe whole canvas should be larger so you can also show much more blocks and maybe even other people with uplifting mesges and such, just an idea but it should be on a much larger canvas, gives you more room to show off much more, now i also think this could be even better with other colored blocks and such, so i do hope them small tips help, but as this art piece is, its pretty good looking and a pretty good idea i thought. anyways nice art piece , keep up the good work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
a few things would be first make a larger view screen with more blocks and more mesges and such, more mesges and such, maybe even adding some differant colored blocks aswell

~X~

BobtehLog responds:

Thanks for the review, it could of be alot bigger (I do agree) but this result I have no is nothing to what I had first planned so it pretty much just all got recreated on the spot. Thanks for the review :)
