    Nice work on these man, good range of color and I see you fixed up some stuff too (removed the cut line from Bayani's piece, made Alpha's neck mechanical like it should be etc etc)... the colors are even a bit more vibrant than your norm. Cool stuff Eddy.

    Only things I might suggest (just a preference thing) is to color the pages/debris blowing around in Caemgen's scene... even if it's a light color like yellow or amber just so the only white is the background. A white piece of something on a white background with only a black outline looks like it got overlooked.

    Also the codpiece on Alpha... with the inner side of his right thigh being dark and a heavy drop shadow (from the torso) over his left thigh I don't see how there can be "top-lighting" striking his crotch in between them. If there was another light source it would have to be from a side or below and so a different part of the surface should be white. I am no expert on metallics though so by all means correct me if you see it differently.

    P.S. Just noticed Bayani's piece got flipped horizontally too... is this a correction because he is left handed?

    heh schweet I barely have to answer my own questions these days

    yeah, I get what your saying with the codpiece, but there is alot more flexibility with shiny so I dont think it looks too odd. and I did add a slight bit of color to the paper, but it must not have been an active layer when I saved the jpeg for web.

    and....

    New Stuff!

    I have no buyers remorse. I hated 'electagonist' and using 'Eddy Swan' has brought me nothing but good.
  14. I generally work at A3 or A4 (international paper sizes) at print resolution. (300 dpi) when I am painting. Its better to have a picture be big enough for print should the urge arise then not.

    With coloring I generally just work on what ever size I am given. But it is generally 300-600 Dpi

    sorry to hear that buddy. I know I have come to that train of thought a few times this month, it is difficult to find time in a month to devote to this contest with other things going on.
