Work: http://www.swfup.com/file/123248 http://www.swfup.com/file/123252 Image 1: http://i30.tinypic.com/fy2x4h.jpg First off, i noticed the posture you gave your monster an agressive presence. I also have no trouble to imagine that monster to be of gigantic size. If it you didn't design it to be giant, the fact that most elements of its head and neck are rather rough, big and relativelly threatning lead to assume you actually did imagine this creature to be of epic stature. I enjoy how you have drawn the teeth in an awkward disposition, as well as the seemingly sharp shapes of the teeth ... making the creature look all the more dangerous. The shading you applied is efficient, most elements stand from one another. The only confusion i can see here is the sort of spike shaped form behind the eye, near the horns ... it also seems to follow the other spike-ish form in the very back of the head, however its nothing major i believe. One thing i do dislike in this drawing is the Eye. From my observation, it seems to me that it doesn't want to fit well on the skin's surface. The unnatural feel to it brings a bit of a less impressive feel to the drawing ... but again, its not something of dramatic importance, just a detail here hehe ... I imagine the drawing wasn't solely bent on the comical quick side drawing, nevertheless its not something that bothers me ... i wouldn't be saying the same thing if it was a coloured full drawing of the beast, but by then i'm not sure you would have drawn it there either hehe ... Overall: I enjoy beast drawings, this one's portrait has got potential, but needs more work for me to go "Whoa" on it, but dont get me wrong, its still very good drawing :D Image 2: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/sentimento.png (i play around with photoshop, but its some of my first times i actually review a sig, so i'll do my best heh) Hmmm, i enjoy the posture of the girl (its called a render right?), i think it delivers a sense of concentration. Of course, you may not have hand built the render, however making a sig with that choice of picture is creative in my mind. I do enjoy the background as well, its doesn't hook your eye out of the main element of the sig. In fact, the hazy feel to it seems to enhance the way the girl seems to concentrate on one thing with nothing around to distract her. The title seems to be in a strategic spot. The border is simply but just as efficient as needs be. Overall: I think its a fine sig, demonstrates a good dose of experience, i'd display a sig of this quality anytime. I'm not impressed nor disapointed, however i'd need more knowledge about sigs and digital art to distinguish great from weak ... and i am not as interested by sigs and all so i'm not completely sure how pertinent my analysis is. 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
