Adventures in color!

So yeah. Put together a portfolio and submit it to the comic companies. It's professional level. Maybe not tip-top professional, but that will come with time, experience, and more projects. It's still professional level, regardless.

Be as picky as you like my friend. Lord know's My future employers(should I succeed ) will be

another new one. http://eddy-swan.deviantart.com/art/...lors-137308430 Critique is welcome, I think I definetly need some for this one.

Not a chick this time Yuri

>_> You know I was mostly teasing about that, right? Though, it gave me a smile.

It looks like you really had a lot of fun with this one, Ed-man. The little added details here and there through shading are pretty awesome (especially on the belt), and the light off the claws is a very nice touch. The only thing I can see immediately is that I think the claw-shadows on the leg are a bit off - given the approximate angle of the lighting in the picture (High back left [my left, not Logan's]), I think the shadows would be a bit closer together and somewhat distorted given the angle that they're sitting at (in a straight line), and maybe a bit lower on the leg. But, I can't tell for sure (I suck with that sort of thing myself). And maybe a little thinner up on the hand (though not by much - again, I'm approximating).

Other then that, things look pretty spot on, except maybe one or two particulates near the top needing a little bit of light shading (unless they're catching reflections off the claws, anyway). I do like some of the little added touches, though. :3

Another very ace job, sir.

haha thanks yeah I knew your were just foolin' Just thought it would be funny to add

I agree 100% on the shadow on the leg, it was a pain in my side, SO I got Fed up and posted it hoping someone would 'Shed some light' on why it looks silly

Thanks for taking the time to list some thoughts on the picture! it will help me fix it!

thanks for looking

Well, I don't even play a professional critic on TV but jere's a couple random thoughts

1st piece: Very nice. I specially like how the wings were done, with the flesh tones slowly giving over to the more colorful wings. Too often the wings just look stuck on but the slow change makes them look more a part of her - organic.

Raven - Love it. Greet dark feel to the piece. The red and gold (brooch? necklace? button?) beneath the chin... Well, there's nothing wrong with the coloring of it and it may not throw me a bit if I was more familiar with the character and knew exactly what it was... But I only slightly know the character and don't so that seems a bit off to me. But like I said, it's not a coloring issue so much as probably my unfamiliarity...

Iron Man - Not my favorite piece but that is more a personal taste than any commentary on the coloring. I enjoy the more realistic pieces generally, not a huge fan of the overly cartoony art... Still, I think the colors perfectly fit the genre so good work

Last piece - I love this piece. This looks like it could be a frame right out of a comic book. The colors add a nice sense of menace and excitement... Nice.

Very awesome colors! I really wish I had more time to learn how to do this. You're stuff is awesome Swan!

Very cool, as always.

I'm not sure if I like the mesh pattern across the entire pic though... It definitely adds something to it but I'm not positive I like what it adds? Maybe I just thought about it too much, trying to figure out what it's suppose to be... Are we looking through a screen at the scene?

On the second one with the ultra colors... Or whatever you want to call the negative colors or whatever... It's very cool but I'm wondering if you tinkered with it a bit more maybe you could make even coolor? Couple things I'm thinking is maybe Batman's cowl shouldn't have the same effect? Or maybe her face should have a bit of it? Or maybe the background should be greyscale only or something? I think she's just not popping out to the eye as much as when you originally used that effect.

Still, I think both are awesome... Actually the first thing that popped into my head was perhaps the pics should be taller so that the could be like a door length banner. Heck, for all I know that's a good height/length ratio for such but it seems to me to be somewhere between normal wall poster sized and a door sized poster... Of course the whole thing doesn't fit on my screen so hard to be sure.

I totally love the colors!!! Beautifully done, Eddyyyyyy!!!!
