Art Piece #1 Art Piece #1 CC Topic 1 Great job on this piece. I really like it. One of the best things about this piece is the background. The bright, yellow background lightens up the darker shades and hues of blue. The background brings out the colour of the dragon, making everything brighter. Another thing I like is the amazing choice of colours for shading. The rich blues blend perfectly, and the points at which the blue is the lightest are great. I also felt almost spoiled when I saw the various spots around the head and neck where I can see scales and reflections. Amazing job. There are two things that I can point out that could be changed to make this picture even better. First off is the horns, claws, and various spikes on the dragon. I don't like how you used the rusty, redish colour for those. I think it would make the dragon look much better if you used a dark orange colour, because - after all - orange and blue are complimentary colours. I think that would make the dragon look better all around , evening things out a bit. The secound thing is the head. i found the head much too big. The first thing I saw when I looked at this picture was how big the ehad was. Yes, I understand that the neck is there and a little depth perception helps, but the head is just about as big as the body. If the head was smaller, it wouldn't grab the very first attention of the viewer, lettin their mind's eye take in everything as a whole, not just the head. Great pice of work, I really like it. A few tweaks and it'll be even better. CC Topic 2 Wow... incredible edit. Spectacular edit. Tons of great stuff. I especially love how every sprite matches perfectly in terms of colour. Matching skin with the armor, armor with the weapon, weapon with the trim. Just everything. Great work, except for a few places. Amazing sprite work. I especially love the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion refrence ;) The biggest thing here is the head of Lorine. Her body has a great sprite, but the head of the-NPC-who's-name-I-curently-can't-remember just really doesn't match at all. A sprite-like head, different from the Escort's would make her look even better. Another thing is the boots of the green Escort. Everythign about that Escort mathes, the armor, the skin, everything; excpet for the shoes/boots. The brown doesn't match with the dull, dark greens in my opinion. Try a darker, less-obvious brown, or just go with green again. Both the other two sprites are perfect, couldn't be better. And if you want to get into the really nit-picky, itty bitty details, than I dont think Lorine and both the Escorts shouls have the same amount of HP and MP. But that doesn't really matter. All-in-all, an incredible pice of work. I really, really like it. Two little fixes and it'll absolutely perfect. I hereby will follow the rules set by the admins and mods of the forums. I understand that failing to follow all the rules, I can be removed from the Gallery and the forums themselves. Approved
