[Monstrous Predator]

Ambitious

Best of luck man. That's some dedication. Probably emerge with some major improvements. I look forward to seeing you evolve over the year.

J-qb responds:

Thanks, I certainly do hope I'll improve from this, that's basically the goal.

[Adieu.]

Fantastic

This is fantastic work Kuoke. Really stunning. Great use of Color and lighting. Has a really good balance to it.

The stars are a little too evenly spaced, and the ones that have the sparkle are mstly on one plane.

Also the right hand looks odd. I'd rework it if you can. Otherwise dandy of a piece.

[Friend Drawing.]

Nope

Dude filter raping a photo isn't a drawing. I can see where you've tried to make 'corrections' to the output. But it still looks like a filter raped photo. My advice to you is to take it down before it gets deleted by the mods. This is sooooo lazy on top of that. The 'corrections are half assed. The first time the hair dips of right you got white background showing through. All of your edges are wonky. You smoothed the hair, but nothing else? All those other lines cry out to be clean. And you didn't even completely paint over the white with the leaf brush. Totally lazy.

How about now motherfucker?

[Skateboard design]

that's some good stuff right there.

This is just a damn fine piece of work. Composition. Color. Like the rendering style. The only thing that bothers me is that background aqua color. It seems a bit drab, and disconnected. But that's really nitpicky. This is a great piece, and you should be proud of it.

TyraWM responds:

Fixed it... or made it worse

[Shiia]

Great piece

Playful. Great sense of color. Playful and fun. Composed really well. The only reason you didn't get a ten is that without a background it doesn't really feel complete. The board and dragonfly hint at a setting that feels missing. I favorited.

Don't get me wrong.

Don't get me wrong. It's a great piece. It's really well done. But it does rest in an uncomfortable place between formally realistic, and exaggerated. And I think it would behoove you not to dismiss the critics who point out that the anatomy is off. Not because they are right, I can see you intended to exaggerate, but because I can only see that you have skill enough to know better. Not because I can see the intent of exaggeration in the piece. Maybe if we knew who this person was. But right now the only aspects (without having seen your subject) that are outside the realm of physical possibility are the eyes and neck. That's not enough to firmly establish exaggeration for me.

[Swamped]

Well now I really hate you

Not only are you really fucking talented, but you're also a Puscifer fan.

Seriously though. Great piece. Like the color choices.

skarl3tte responds:

Puscifer's freaking awesome. :D Maynard James Keenan is amazing.

[It's The Flood!!! 3]

Nice work Kash

It is exactly what it intends to be. Simple and funny. The coloring works really well. The light seems natural. The coloring while more formal than I would expect, works really well. This is a damn fine thing. Congrats.

Why would you delete this? :(
