Here's a very quick color-in of my sketch of
"A tiny witch flees a voodoo wizard in the vestiges of a lost civilization".
(the witch is on top of the big statue if you didn't notice)

The main thing that's bugging me is the guy in the bottom -right-; he just doesn't seem to fit into the pic right.

Any suggestions on how i can fit him into the composition before continuing?--or any crits for that matter.

i might try this...
ive started drawing already
ill have a shot at three to see
A chubby-cheeked sniper uproots a woman in a hat
A Naked combatant uproots a man on a skating rink
A viking in a frock communicates with a troll beside a tornado
and do you mean the guy on the bottom right?
i suggest moving him more towards the camera and giving him a lower angle shot
but otherwise its very good

Electricgnort! :o

That is one excellent start!! There is so much depth already... and the angle is spectacular! What you've done with the trees, birds, and clouds is very aesthetic. It really grabs your attention at first glance.

The wizard in the corner does look a little funny that you mention it... I'm not sure qwite what it is. You've chosen an interesting canvas shape to work on, so naturally the composition is going to differ from a horizontally laid one. Right now the wizard sits at the bottom of the canvas, nearly in the corner--- so she slips off your eye's radar, yet the detail demands attention. Move her a little closer to the camera and more towards the center of the frame into the foreground, and she adds depth and commands more attention:

(Tried not to butcher it too much. :yfok:)

I do hope you finish this one up! It's going to be a beaut! :)

Bussman- Yea it's down for me now too

Bumwipe- You mean getting your brother involved, or what you said to me?

Slinger- Thanks :D. I'll try moving the wizard closer as you both mentioned. Your image just shows some Photobucket error though :(

Yeah the original link doesn't seem to work anymore, but if you go up one level in the website you can click on the 3ch_web.php link and get to it. If you can't navigate up one level on the site try this.

They must been getting a lot of hits. I've seen this generater on ConceptArt.org and Polycount. You can always download and use the app here. You've got to dowload the zip file and the contents of "Hollywood action EN/".

Then you can put in your own words! :bing:

Edit:

Here's the thread on Conceptart.org, that's where I found this. Lots of good samples there too!

I'm probably not the best guy to be giving critiqes but i'll give it a shot.

First thing i noticed is that their skin is alot brighter than the surrounding lighting. You could darken their skin, but it might blend them into the backround too much. --So you could try using the meteors as a light source and illuminate their bodies with an orange glow.
That would probably give it a slightly darker feeling also.

The horizon is also something i noticed. Im not sure whether you were going for a fish-eye lense type look or it's just two hills on the sides. If it's a hill, hills rarely have such steep changes of direction so close together. If it's a Fish-eye thing... well, i dont really know how to make those work well either.

You might also want to add more land or a tree-line in the distance. The ground now just seems to cut off at a ledge.

The meteors look nice though, can't say much about them.

----------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, here's my attempt at coloring my pic.

I'm not really too happy with it --Alot of it just seems unclean and i don't really know the technique to fix it, but.... meh.

I googled it for you and it seems it is a brand of mountain bike and a type of guitair. I think he would be jumping on a bike not a guitare but there are some really strange things coming from this generator.

And humbleego how long is this on for because i am hoping to do alot of tests before i do the real thing

God i really want to try this but i dont know how to finalize a picture after drawing it in alias. I cant use paint in photoshop, and I'm bad with coloring. Does any1 wanna record themeselves painting somthing in ps and send it to me so i can figure this out. I dont understand how some of you make such perfect drawings its confusing.
