 I was inspired by Comlock to take my own crack at a truly polished digital painting... Who knows if I'll finish or not, but I'd like to try. I blocked this in over the last hour and a half and I wanted to show it now so any major issues with composition can be caught quickly. I'm also trying to push the illusion of depth since Noob mentioned that was weak in my last picture. Crits please. |

Great start, Ang. I'm diggin the pose on the dragon. My only crits would be some small adjustments composition wise. Are you familar with the Rule of Thirds? Basically if you divide your canvas into thirds, the intersections are the "power points". In other words, if you want something important seen, place it at one of the intersections. In my mind, the thing that draws my attention is his/her eyes. If you shift everthing right a bit, you'd put his/her head at that intersection. It would also help with that bit of uncomfortable negative space between the dragon's legs. Which in turn, gives more negative space to the left, giving your subjects more focus. Also, you might consider giving the drag's neck and his/her head a bit more negative space between them. It might help it read more quickly. Lastly, the dragon's shadow feels a little light to me, personally. If you darken it a bit, it'll set it off from the background and wieght that area better. Overall, it's looking really nice, great sense of color going on. Hope this helps and I hope you finish it, it'll be tight.... |

Those proportions look nice Cole! What i think you should work out is some detial, especially on the hair. Right now it looks rather simple and clumped. Try making his fur less clumped in those triangled shapes. Try for a more seperated, detialed, and flowing look. Or really bunches up and tangled, or short cut and spiky. Depends on how you want him. I sketched out a few quickie example to give ya a idea of what im talking about >.<  EDIT* lol, okay the shaven/slick example looks a bit.. naughty. Pay it no mind! 2nd Edit* Okay.. fixed the naughtyness... it was getting to me >.< |

Yes!!!! Yes yes yes! As soon as I posted this, I realized that I had basically centralized both of their heads. I wanted to kick myself. I have another idea with how to position the smaller character, so I'll fix this post-haste (They're both girls, by the way :lol:). Thanks Humble! Cole, you seem to have given Lucky too many leg joints there. The place between his foot and his heel shouldn't bend in half like that. Also might want to consider making his legs slightly longer overall, but I like his long torso. |

Naturally, Noob. But, don't you generally learn the rules before you break them? Further, while I wouldn't have that rule the only one in my tool belt, it shouldn't be boo-hooed. It's a visual convention that can be used to one's advantage. If you know how your audience will be interacting with a piece, doesn't that make it easier to manipulate them? |

Hey everyone. Nice picture Jettison, i like the eyes and the lips etc. It reminds me of on old film called 'Double Dragon'. Hehe. I got a bit of a problem with the feet... I think its just the fact theres no background etc. But i can see that it works... Its just not the best bit of the picture :P. All your other pictures and good too! I really like the chubby purple shouting guy. I think he's alround just great. Last night, I decided to give digital painting a (proper) go. I've only really done 2 other painting things on Corel painter/photoshop, And this is what i came up with... I used : Sketchbook (Original drawing) Corel Painter (Base colour, I hate that program...) Photoshop (Detail)  Aha, me mateys! |

But thats you, so thats we just gotta accept you for the fool beast you are... (lol jk). Seriously though, we know your only trying to help, it's just a conflict of opinions... |

Noob, we love you! Don't listen to those heathens!! We don't mind if you're the forum problem child... I do NOT think you are offensive in any way. Stubborn, maybe, but you have a unique perspective on art which I find very refreshing. Don't worry about it. |

Wow Thirsty, nice coloring. That last panel makes me strangely happy (I think the little pointing finger in the corner does it for me). |
