maybe it has to do with the height of the toon in relation to the long cape? just grasping at straws...

Great read... my stand with Soul & Celtic reminded me of the ferry scene in War of the Worlds... Awesome job Plasma!

Skills, schmills, you gotta fail 100 times before you get it right, but then you do get it right... print it out, put a piece of tracing paper over it, and take a fat black marker and go to town... experiment with a light source from one side, then take another piece of tracing paper and do the light coming from the other side...

My comic art teacher in college had us to that excersize with brushes and india ink, it was a pain, but great practice.

Go for it, never give up, never surrender! (okay I have to stop watching Galaxy Quest)

wb, i'm probably new to you, but i suppose such a greeting from Rowr means you are A-1!

not bad, I would suggest adding some shadows in small, medium and large blocks to give the thin weighted outline more 3 dimensional depth... or in other words, ink that sucka!

okay but your wolf lost it's legs and arms in a poker game... then he woke up with bionic parts...

I've desaturated the background a bit, see what you think

(I hate being colour blind, I can't tell myself >.< )

My son is color blind, if you actually are, this is damn good for that... As for the changes, it didn't need them, but now it is easier to see her. Overall I think the piece is a lot of fun, as I said before, Soul will definitely like it.

I'm moving on, but I appreciate your explanation. Thank you for that...

That's no excuse, fix it, or I'll set the dogs on you!

Thanks Doug, "you" on the other hand, need no preface ever to critique my work, cause a) I know whatever you say, you mean as a friend, and b) I respect and enjoy your own work tremendously...

The thing with this piece is, I did it really fast, so any mistakes that are there, I know are there because I wasn't trying for a masterpiece, just something for ST to enjoy. The face took longer than the rest of it, because that was really the only part I wanted to get dead on, so that he'd get the "new hair style" and my choice for it.

I could chalk it up to laziness, but does everything we post have to be perfect? And I can't say this enough, commenting on someone's art negatively as the only example of talking to them is both untimely and unappreciated, no matter the intention to help. It's not helpful, it's just rude.

The head's too big, no too small, the nose is too nosey, the feet look the same, the blue particles all look sleepy, and the skin color is too dark, light, medium.

J/k

Very cool... nice action. Actually if you desaturated the red background just 20%, she'd pop forward more. Got that trick from the DC Guide to Coloring. I'm sure ST will love this!

Thanks LJ! I love playing with you guys...feels like I'm playing with celebrities! :P

Yeah and you only played with a few of us, you need to be on an 8 person Envisionaries team against an AV, then you'll see just how cool it is...

Awww, c'mon, critiques are fun

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah but you're on the giving side, assuming that your intention is helpful, wanted, or even expected... I'm on the receiving side, posting a 30 minute doodle for a friend who I hope to make happy, who was happy with it... I'm not showing work so anybody and his 17yr old can pull something from their incredible proportional powers to make me see the light?

At the least, preface an undesirable comment with a modicum of humility, grace or class. But yes this is the internet, so I can't expect that. Again, this is not personally directed at you Zikar...

oh and Thanks Kilo , I don't know about betterer, but it's done as far as I'm concerned. It was done the first time too.

I'm gonna start labeling my posts with "No critiques"... or perhaps people with manners only. (not you Zikar, at least your post was 99% nice)

Thank you, now I can die...

Repairs with the Fro Added...

Yeah I'm not that bad, but it was an old keyboard, one I had thought I had cleaned a few days ago, little did I know I was moving the crumbs around to just the right Rubic's configuration.

But lesson learned! Though I have to say, typing on this thing drives me nuts, I'm constantly substituting \ for '

OMG I played with the Wombat last night, and she looks just like her avatar! Welcome to the Envisionaries Fuzzy!

The face is very well done. High five for that.

Unfortunantly, there are some problems with the rest.

First of all, her sholders are incredibly broad. Ridiculously broad even. Her body in general is much too big for the head.

Also, the head and the body seem to be done in different styles. The head is very detailed and drawn with thin lines. The rest of the body, however, is made up of thicker lines and is less detailed than the head.

But seriously, the head alone is amazing.

The shoulders are broad because I think superhero women should have broad shoulders. I may have gone too far, but I try not to draw women with small rounded shoulders, as that doesn't appeal to my aesthetic.

As for the head being small, well I draw on a 17 inch screen, usually I step back more, and size the image down, adjusting the head then, in this case I thought it was fine.

The body and face are the same style, done with the same brush tool. I just don't put as many lines on the body, as I usually color these, and it's redundant to me.

The thicker lines are there for overall shape emphasis.

By the way: Unfortunately has 2 n's and an e in it, and shoulders has a u... but the rest of your review was wonderful.

I could add the fro if you want?

So wait, this hasn't won yet?

Hilarious... hmmm I should be getting that in about 21 months...

First two winners for art are Power Sarge and Cypher D from the Freedom Server, the event is still going on, look for King Blaze the event holder who will be doing another CC contest for influence, and I believe another one for art... goodluck to the other two winners.

It's very good BAS, two things... the space from the edge of the last stomach muscle to the bottom of his groin should be half again longer than it is. Also yes the forearm on the full arm should be larger, more rounded from the elbow to the wrist, but keep the wrist slender and tapered in, not straight like a pipe, more like a cone. The back forearm could be a pinch bigger, but doesn\t have to be... Also watch that far bent leg, it's connected to the top of his abdomen being so high, should be lower and not connected to the hip so much but below it and then coming out, kind of like a reverse L. Hope that helps. I didn't redraw it for you, cause I didn't want you to just copy my corrections. Plus I know you're capable of fixing it yourself... keep going! It's coming out great.

LJ

LOL you beat me to it...
