I love how you use the red and blue as an accent in the first two drawings. The third though, has a bit much and would have fit better with the other two if you used less of the colors. Instead of the red hoodie, have it black and the strings/beads be red.
you have a good style though and I wouldnt mind seeing more of it ;)

I was playing around on gimp and eventually made a pokédex based on one of the iWatch designs, the Pokéwatch.

Residential New person here:
You guys have some talent! <3

I was looking for something on the pixel forum, but this is art too. I wanted to share this picture with you guys, and any KH Fans.


I linked the picture to my deviant art page. I honestly just did my best. Meet Mega Scrafy guys.

I could try making this 96x96 but I'd rather not xP I know shading is wrong, and what not. I never learned lighting 100% yet.
Anyhoot God Bless.

Guys I apologize for this dual post, but today I'm looking for a critic.

The creature is loosely based on Naturia Beast. Admittedly this was by accident.
I would like it if some one could point out my errors, make a few fixes, or even a few words of encouragement. More over I would like raw opinions on the piece, and fixes to the backdrop and the character in the foreground. I admit to knowing nothing of art. I do wish I paid more time learning it traditionally, than focusing my time on manga pieces. Digital Painting is a new media to me.

Well assuming that your art is still your signature I'll just give my review here. I love it, you've got shading, proportion and a good color scheme. Were I to find one fault with it, it would appear to me that where the abdomen meets the back thigh seems to be off. Though that's probably because on the rare occasion that I draw my thighs are never at such an angle (i'm a very boring, artistically speaking.)

Drew my shiny Noivern Norbert, and decided to try and mimic the Sugimori style. Hopefully i pulled it off. First time iv atully tryed to draw in this style.

I can find no fault with this image, or at least any fault other than it's not a vulpix. Good job Pangoro.




This is my first pixelated art, I'm hoping to be get good enough to design some buildings for my own pokemon game using rpgmaker and pokemon essentials (all the other tilesets just never clicked with me. It's still a work in progress and the top frontal roof tiles were by lotus king (the diagonal ones I designed on the same concept). This house I was hoping to base off a romanesque design (historically accurate since some romans did use glass windows) Please note, I do not like the door or the windows, and they are subject to change.

That's really good, although there is one thing which I think could be improved.

To me, it seems like the perspective of the head / ears is slightly off. Maybe I'm wrong but this is what I see / would change:


Spoiler:

What I imagine the perspective should be


And this is how I would have drawn it, with the ear which is farther back, slightly smaller. [Exaggerated to emphasize point]


Coloured:


Maybe I'm wrong, I have a weird way of looking at things.


Anyway; this is my current WIP:

So this is Gallberaptor, it's a grass/rock type pokemon based on... well a raptor if it wasn't obvious enough. anyways, I drew him in like 45 minutes but I'm already very confident about it, despite the fact that it looks like Sceptile according to some people (dunno if it's true, but I didn't base Gallberaptor of Sceptile anyways) so yeah, what do you think, does Gallberaptor need some improvement, be sure to let me know. thanks :D

@Somniac, your anatomy is really spectacular in your work. Just keep in mind when you're finishing it that the human body has a lot of different shades and tones. As she is right now, she looks rather two dimensional. Make sure you really give her depth! I'm just astounded by how delicious her legs look omg.

@bartyboy6, I really, really love the shape and profile of your fakemon. The size of the tail relative to the rest of the body is very reminiscent of those small, carnivorous dinosaurs (who's name totally escapes me right now). That said, I think you may want to narrow out it's feet a bit, if that dinosaur was your inspiration for the design. It's lower body makes it look very stalky, slow, and heavy, where everything else tells me it's a lean, fast, and muscular creature.

Oh, and I don't think it looks like Sceptile at all. :) So don't worry about that.

@bartyboy6 Hmm, from what I see you've drawn I think my favourite thing would be Gallberaptor's posture from that drawing. The only thing I think you need to work on is the tail, I find it a tad too big and he might just fall :( But everything else is great! Just keep practicing.



So I couldn't find any threads here/shops that did signatures (by signatures I mean tags) I've never done this sort of thing before so... yeah, I know I probably should've used a more "visual" fractal/C4D but I just couldn't find one that would blend in :/

Tips are greatly appreciated!

Okay, I really don't want to delete two posts, but the rules of this thread state that you must critique the art of the above poster, so please go back and edit your posts or I'll have to delete them. :(

Alright firs of all I hope this is not considered gravedigging but it's the only thread with this kind of topic and I felt like making a new one would not be considered good manners.

Now as for the art piece above me

I really like the whole theme of it. I'm never able to get a good "background" flow going when I'm making singatres but you certanitly seem to do:D But I would blur the mon a bit more below the head maybe even the head a bit. It just seems quite sharp.

Now here is my piece of art that I just threw together today. It's a bit of traditional work and it was my first time trying to color some of my art.

Yes, this is definitely grave digging, however a new thread like this would be awesome to have.

Anyways, I'll critique it anyways. It definitely looks really nice, and a lot of it is nice and crisp. However, you seem to have some parts that still have that sketch look to it, especially the right side of his hat. Just work on some of those parts that don't look as clean cut, and you'll be golden.

Yeah, unfortunately this is technically necroposting. :( But I'm not going to deal out any warnings or infractions. The idea of this thread was the "everyone's gallery", so you'd update at your leisure and since A&D doesn't consider a gallery owner bumping a gallery an offense, it's theoretically okay for anyone to revive this. How'd you like that circular logic? B)

I'm going to rehash this thread, actually.
