Resubmitted, due to duration of time without result.

Examples:
Example 1
Example 2

CC:
For Number 1
The overall quality of the Image is good, but some things distract from the focus. The sparks are very bright, and some arc away from the girls face, drawing attention away. Most sparks appear to be headed towards her, so the sparks effect is essentially neutral. Also, on the left side of the Image, you see ripples that appear to distort the size of the head. If the ripples were extended to the very edge of the Image, the effect would be lessened.

For Number 2
The picture is great. the way the woman is standing combined with the stretched effect of the background makes the Image have a natural flow. The way the womans right arm blurs into the background provides continuity, instead of breaking up the flow. Unfortunately the bright spot in the corner will inevitably draw the Viewers eye away, and it breaks up some of the flow.

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

Tag 1
Tag 2

CC for Image 1.

First off, nice choice of colors in the background. Fits the render very well.

The render, on the other hand, needs to blend in more with the background. Perhaps blurring the some of the outline. The sig also needs to build more depth, so perhaps a basic blur on everything but your focal point, which I'm assuming is the face of the render.

I don't see a constant flow with the signature, but rather, it's all jumbled up with the flow being random directions from the render. I suggest making it flow the left, since that's the direction the render, and in turn the focal point, and facing towards.

Of course, the text needs a lot of work. The plain, black text really contrasts with the white and light pink background it's on. Perhaps move it to the top left hand corner to give a better effect.

CC for Image 2.

The blending of the render into the background is fantastic. It gives a great effect.

The background needs work, seeing how 2/3rds of it are just plain brown. The flow caused by the smudge effect of the render will go great with a C4D or two.

I think you should blur the bottom half of the render's body and make the signature focus more on the face, which in most cases is the focal point and is therefore the part you should be concentrating on.

The text is short & simple, which is nice. Due to the size of the sig, it could be bigger.

Alright, umm... two forms of art: Art form #1, and Art form #2.

Constructive Criticism:
Image #1: 'Eagle88': A very neat, mythological-like image. I enjoy how the background makes it look caged in, as if surrounded by a fence, and with the way it's flying, it seems as though it's trying to escape, or perhaps preparing for battle. The blue feathers look kind of unnatural, almost as if they were glued to the back of the wings. The mask and neck brace(?) Seem to give it the appearance of a tiny head and a giant neck. THere is something by it's foot that looks like an oxen's skull, and that seems off, as he is flying. However, I suppose it could also be a chain, adding to the effect of him trying to escape. Well, that's all I can think of for this image... Let me at the next one.

Image #2: 'Inspire': Hmmm... Well, pieces of the woman seem to be swirling off into the upper Right corner, as if there was some kind of black hole, or dimensional nexus there, slowly sucking her in. The woman is also glowing, probably another affect of the 'black hole', slowly sucking her outline away. The 'black hole' appears to be made up of some kind of fog, perhaps a cloud from heaven, or something, as if she was a ghost, maybe. A part of the swirls forming off of her seems to form a flower, and there is something lightning-like coming from her left arm. Yeah, well, I'm all dried out, now, so... on to the next requirement!

first image: i love the colours but it seems her shoulders are meshed into the background. also, you may want to change the colour of the title and the lines above for something more bold.

second image: i like what you did but i can barely make out what i think is a building in the background, and also the (is it lightning?) clashes with the background. maybe try to accentuate on the lightning and brihten up the background a bit.

Art example 1: Fire -The game
Art example 2: Game icon (it's colours has been blured out by the format, NOT MY FAULT)

Critisiscm:
Image1:
I really like how the body of the dragon is drawn, it really shows what's under the skin. You can easily see the muscles and bones, this makes the picture more realistic, and much cooler to look at.
The head is also amazingly drawn, however i get the feeling that the head does not fit with the rest of the body, it seems to be much bigger than it maybe should have been, and the neck is way to fat. I also liked how the mouth is, it looks almost snake-like, whitch actually is one of the closest relatives to the fictional dragon.
The wings are also well made, but it covers alittle to much of the body

With a fitting tail, this pictures gives me a overall good impression.

Image2:
This image really caught my attention, the combination of colours used are really good. As i look closer i get to see alot, by the look at her face (expecially the eyes, and eyebrowns) i can tell right away that she is sad or upset. This impression is strenghtened by her body language, low shoulders.
The hair is outstandingly good drawn, very good detailing, however maybe lacks a bit variaty in colours.
Overall i think this picture could have been alittle more properly shaded, because it contains rather few colours, but it is still a very good picture.

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.

O Hai I'm new XD

Background (I didn't just screen shot)
Chronicles of Goroth: Help (Unfinished, Meh first comic!)



The colors really make it look epic, like something hit her, she's trying to breath. You know, those sparks n' all those pieces flying everywhere XD! But I think that the background is a little too dark, maybe you can lighten her so the render can really stick out. Also you can put the text in the bottom-right corner, then you can fit some stuff in the top-left. The "B" in "Breath" doesn't, or barely, has an underline. The sparks were a great addition to the render, like she was hit back 'cause something hit her or something XD. This is a awesome tag and I can say that it could use a notch up!


Color of the backgrouns really sticks in with the render, the render could be a little darker, that way the render could really stick out to the background, even though it already does XD. There's a lot of space on the right side, perhaps using it more? The text... I only know how to read English, French, Arabic and Urdu XD, though English would be best XD. The guitar was... sparky good! Though at first I couldn't realize it was a guitar until I looked at the rest of the guitar, so I think that the sparks could have less affect. This is really good if you mix the results up, but it could use a cherry on the top!

Piece 1: Personal (incomplete) website (Only 1 page needed to be viewed as the layout is universal around the site) [GFX]
Piece 2: Incomplete furry AQ Guardian sprite [2D Sprite]

Constructive Criticism:
Images: Image 1 & Image 2

Image 1:
Overall the placement of the elements are well placed however the colours are somewhat glaring in the background. Perhaps darkening the white or switching it for a light green would be an idea on this piece. Also Pae's digit (just below the o in gecko) seems a little lost, personally I believe it would work better without out. It just seems so out of place.

Image 2:
Overall this image is good however there seems to be a slight issue with the glow on the subject of the piece, it seems to be pulling her ever so slightly out of focus and is making it slightly awkward for my eyes. Other then that I see no other issues with the piece.

[Artwork 1]

[Artwork 2]
______________________________________________________
[Alt Image 1]

This is very well done, especially the head of the dragon. The dragon has a great head with life-like teeth, and the neck goes down, very smoothly. and the horns have absolutely no flaws, but the eye of the dragon, is too small for a head of that size. Also, the shoulders and body do not match with the big, giant head. The shoulders should be broader, and the eyes should be larger. Next to the dragon, I see what is somewhat a dentist, checking on the dragon's teeth. Very humerous! But, the dentist, along with the dragon head, is confusing together. The dentist was very poorly drawn. If the dragon is detailed and awesome, the dentist should be very detailed as well. Also, what confound me was what the dentist was standing on. Is that a floating platform? Or is it a invisible ladder a few inches down? The text is very hard to read, and the text bubble does not connect on the right side. Overall, this is a great drawing, but has major side flaws that confuse veiwers.


[Alt Image 2]

This is a lovely picture! I see the whole head has matched greatly in orange! The orange pointly ears out of her head is good, but the one on her right, (The ear that we can see the pale orange in) is very two - dimentional. Unlike the one that is farther away, which has fairly a good amount of three - dimentional features, looks like a colored peice of paper sticking out of her hair. The orange eyes puts emphasis on the fact that she is depressed. The paintings on her face makes her look like a cat - person, which is very creative by the way, are also matching with the hair, ears and eyes! However, the mouth seems like it was cut in two peices. The center of her closed mouth needs to connect with the left and right. Her green clothing seems to tell us that she is a person based on fantasy, not life - like clothes. Overall, the picture has great light colors, and has very few flaws, plus the picture is actually one of the best pictures I have ever seen on the forums!

My pieces: (1 sig and 1 LP)

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

Image 1
This is very good piece, IMO. The render blends well into the rest of the sig, the text is really nicely done, and the flow is really nice as well. However, a slight point for improvement would be the empty space near the render. Those parts are completely black, and it really doesn't suit the sig there. Also, I liked how you used multiple colors of purple for the "cloud" of petals (at least, that's what I think they are). The only points of improvement in this tag that I could find besides the black parts next to the render, are the blending of the render (I said it was good, I didn't say it was perfect), and blending the text some more. Also, I'm missing a bit of lighting here...

Image 2
Even though it's not a valid argument or anything, I just must note the fact that I absolutely love the render. A girl with a guitar, what's not to like? Anywaaaaaay....
The render blends /really/ good into the rest of the tag. Even so, it's a pity that you over-lighted the guitar, it really annoyed me after I discovered that, as it pretty much disables you to see anything of the upper side of the guitar. Also, I think the chinese symbol is a bit random and out of place. That may just be me, though. Also, I noticed a few light green/blue dots in the lower left corner, and I think that is something that should be removed. Composition is really nice, just like the flow. It gave me a feel of a girl sitting by an unseen campfire, and sparks from that campfire are flying upwards right next to her. Still one of my best liked tags here :)

Image 1
-----------
Theres Some Dull Colors,Needs more effects On the render or that matches the render
Text is Realy Nice, Could use some c4ds for some flow and depth.Lighting Could be bright and Darker
To add more lighting Depth.

Image 2
-----------
Looks Like Some Color Adds, and some C4ds, and a bit of effects.
The color is a bit caotic. Needs some more effects, Like Smudging or Some lighting you could add.
Try mixing some colors, like yellow and Green, Blue and Green on Gradiet Maps (Spelt Wrong).

(Btw i like to Keep it simple, and get right to the point)

1)
My artworks, inspired by MechQuest.
Mecha 1
Mecha 2

2)
Alt Image 1:
The first thing that my focused on is the dragon head. To me, it's not a good sign as the head seems to be a little too big and, despite the angle, it's not proportionate to the rest of it's body.
Next is the left wing, thought it's well-shaded, it seems to be totally different from the right wing, mainly due to the appearance; the back of the right wing seems to be smooth while the left sports some humps.

Onto colors. A blue dragon will go nicely BUT not when it's ALL blue. Orange seems to go well with the dragon's primary color, so it's be better if there's shades of orange on the belly of the dragon. That will give the dragon a much more fantasy-ish look rather than a dull, cartoon drawing.

Overall, the dragon looks just a little too dull because of the blue color scheme. However, it might be better if there are small details such as scales covering parts of the dragon instead of the head alone. I maybe wrong, but details are one of the primary features to a realistic drawing, even if it's actually fantasy.

Alt Image 2:
The primary problem with this artwork is it's completely dull colors. Sure, grey does go well with warrior armors. However, it doesn't make the warrior look like one. The armor looks more like a statue. Despite the dull color, it does have an admirable shadings. This feature kills the statue-ish look of the armor, making it look more polished and refined.
All it needs it a bit or white and yellow here and there and there you go, a warrior armor.

Next is the sword. Admirable details, but it needs a wider range of shades so as to make it look sharp and deadly. Other than that, all looks ok.

The head goes well with the horns, successfully straying away from the normal helmet headgear and yet it fits well. Thus, the horns makes a unique variation for a warrior's headgear.

Sig 1
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/Pae.jpg
I enjoy the green throughout the sig. A few more effects and maybe a C4D or two might be nice. It looks a little too “simple” though. Also, the right side of Pae to me looks like it is a little distorted.
In other ways a good sig.

Sig 2
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/sentimento.png
This one is OK. I like how the female seems “interested” with the guitar. She's so concentrated on playing the guitar, it seems like she has played guitars many times before in her life[so much passion].

There is also a little problem with this sig. The background doesn't seem to “flow” well with the render. You could try to do a new background to flow with the render.

Overall, I believe this one is OK. ^_^

Why not start with the dragon, the first thing that drew my attention is the head, its been well drawn and shading is incredible ^_^ I would highly recommend that you fix the horns, the double horn on the dragon is a bit distracting or maybe you can just make both horns one nice big horn. The eyes could have used more detailed it looks to simple, adding a light source to the eyes can make a big difrence for the outcome. Now I will CC the teeth, oh... some of the teeth are on the lips and some are smaller then others. Teeth are pretty easy to draw, You also have to take into account that reptiles usualy have those pointy diamond shaped teeth and the front part is bigger then the back.
AND THE THING THAT RUINED THE DRAWING WAS THE DOCTOR, I MEAN IT sheesh >.<


http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/bigship3jx9.png
Well the first thing I noticed is the "squareness" of the boat, I mean come on boats arent square. And if you asked me the whole thing looks like its made from paper, this can be fixed by giving it a "boxy effect" example: cubes not squares stuff like that. Aslo shading helps alot. I noticed some parts of the ship are shadded and some parts aren't. Also if your gonna shade I think it would be better if you shaded everything. Now the color it's sort of plain, brown. The people on the boat have more detail then this (BTW awesome sprites) maybe if you made it have 2 prime colors example: white and brown, then the minor color black then yeah it could have given the boat more "life".

Constructive Criticism



I am loving that background! When I first saw this, I was instantly drawn towards the young lady.
One of the things I like about her is that her jacket matches the strings of the guitar.
I also like the blend of colors in the background, but I can't figure out what it is meant to be.
I think to improve on it, you should make some brown in the background to match her chair,
and the cream lighter to match her clothes and guitar.
Apart from that, great sig!



I found this to be a very eye catching sig. I was drawn to that background, which I very much like.
One thing though is, that none of the colors really blend. To increase the appeal of the image,
the purple in the background should be darkened, to match the ladys hair. Also, I think (this
is just my opinion though) that the font should be changed, to match the mystery theme.

My Examples

1a. Example 1
1b. Example 2

Constructive Criticism

2a. [Image 1( Death from Above)]:

Pros: The background really makes the eagle pop, and the colors on the eagle really stand out from the background so it looks like its popping out at you. Adding a helm was a bonus. Also the feathers on the end of its wings blend with the background ever so slightly making the image seem 3-D. Ultimately a beautiful piece that is much better than something I could do.

Cons: The only real problem is that the text doesn't really do anything for the image like the other pieces. The text just kind of stands out and I was hoping it would blend. Other than that there's really nothing wrong with it.

2b. Anti-Flossing Dragon.

Pros: I love comedy and this really kind of gave me a quick laugh. The dragon has a lot of quality, detail and time put into it. I love how it looks like the mouth is 3-D but the rest is kind there but not quite. The shading is beyond belief. The double horns really make it look like a dragon.

Cons: The person really could have had a bit more quality so its a bit dissappointing. Like I said, I love the comedy but the person seems like it was drawn incredibly lightly, so it really contrasts with the dragon. If it was colored then it would be beyond belief good.

Image One:
Overall Nice effects but the tag is a bit monotone, the lighting distracts from the focal point and is off a little IMO the are to the right is a bit dark and distracts me from the overall tag and I find myself staring at it.Depth is good and the overall execution of the tag is nice I also like how you added effects behind the chair to create a deeper sense of depth. Colors are dull and could use better lighting and depth but other than that the subtle placement of the text does not distract at all. The tag needs better flow and with those fixes could be amazing.

Image Two:
Okay, first, The text is highly distracting from the sig. The colors are monotone and distract me from the overall tag. The left seems to outweigh the right and distracts from the intended focal point. Tag could use more effects and better Lighting. I would suggest some smudging to the left and then burning it some so it is not so outweighing of the right, you could also reposition the render and use some green and blue gradients to vary the colors and for lighting you could brush your own lighting or be lazy and omni above the focal so it stands out and grabs the attention of the viewer.

snuggles sig

pros: clean sprites and creative text font makes me want to see more art like it

cons:the bright light on the left side haerts my eyes and odd font makes the text hard to read (but oh so cute)

woman with guitar

pros: the detail is astounding it took me several minutes to notice any imperfections

cons:the edge of the backround is bluring the edges of the woman and giutar and lack of creative text is disipointing

Critique:

Image one: Very good image, could be used as a nice signature. The picture of the woman is a little blured due to the effect in the background, which is also creating a distracting area in front of the face that is drawing the eye to the wrong area of the picture.

Image two: Amazing, soft subtle lines help execute the feel of the picture and set a very relaxing atmosphere, my oly problem with it is where the cropping of the picture occurs, it seems cut off to close to head and could have been minimized to encorperate a more complete feeling that I think the artist was going for.

Image One [Desire]
In my opinion, the left side of the tag is far too bright and flashy. The neon pink seems to clash with the tone of the girl on the other side. I would tone down the brightness on that side to make it mesh better with the rest of the image. As for the girl herself, she sticks out of the picture, and not in a way that is appealing. Her clothes are solid colors, and darker than the lighting of the rest of the picture. There's some graininess around her body, which isn't a big deal in and of itself, but could make the picture look better if removed.

Image Two [Inspire]
Personally, I found this tag more appealing than the previous one, mainly because of the way the colors blend to form a cohesive idea. However, in the bottom-right corner, that wave is too flashy, and detracts from the focal point of the woman. I also found myself being pulled toward the upper-left corner, where the light is much brighter. If you toned down that part of the picture, it would complement the rest of the piece much better. The woman is a good choice for the tag, but it seems that she's blurred in places, mainly the chest area.

1.I make Signatures
And Funny edited pics

Image 1
Good image, The first thing I notice when I see this picture is the
blue inner wing, which are a bit of an eyesore against the brown
eagle and the purple background The wing also brings the eye to
the three different fonts of text, one bold one italic and one normal
brings a sense of clutteredness and irregularity. the body of the
bird is connected to the feet which shows no legs at all.
When looking at the bottom half of the body it appears to be a centaur bird.
My suggestions are: Recolor the blue wing to something that blends more,
make all the texts moderately the same and separate the body from the feet by adding legs

Image 2
The first thing I notice when I look at this piece is it's rectangular
It is improbable for this boat to travel quickly or smoothly because
of it's lack of a bow /\.Sometimes there is shading and sometimes
there isn't. There is nothing connecting the mast to the post in the
center of the boat and there is no way to get to the crows nest,
yet there is someone in it.Good pixels though.
To sum it all up: try to smooth things out and not make everything
so rectangular, shade everything that needs to be shaded,
add a bow, and connect the mast to the post and make a
kind of ladder to the crow's nest

image 1. it is a fine image, and my eyes r draawn straight to the woman's face. Although the left side of the picture is somewhat blurry. The title is also looking like its left in the open, which i think needs to be changed. A little more detail could be used in the face and hair.
But overall it is ok.

image 2. i believe the picture is a tad to sexual and should be changed. the water is blurry around her back and very clear by her breast.
The left about fourth looks like it is wasted space because it is just gray besides the title. The picture is fine otherwise.

Image 1
Image 2

both are hand draw




CC for Image 1
this is really nice, the background really matches it's position.the wings are beautiful by putting some details colored some part using a pencil.If this is just real many people would like to see real this better more it's like circling the orbit by putting the circle as a background
But it's kinda beautiful for me and one more thing the wings is like kinda a hand



CC for Image 2

Even though the background is not black it's really nice looking in it's eyes it's like a villian to me and putting a moon surely does the thing and the one it's like a skirt but it's not it's totally good for villian and the one on its other hand the balls it's like
releasing a magnificent attack which is like made of shadows.I really like the eyes that matches it's personality.

Approved. Keep working on your CC.
