Requesting feedback pretty please^^
« on: January 26, 2006, 06:38:38 am »
Ello all, long time no \"see\" just thought I\'d see if I could get as good a feedback as I used to for one of my inane scribbles, and here is said scribble



youl have to forgive the outfit, I was more making it as a test for skin patterning as well, something I am yet to add as I\"m sure youve guessed.

It\'s Kintall! :D

First off: unusual number of fingers = <3.

The eye to the right (so her left eye) is set too close to the edge of the face. Remember that there is supposed to be a space of one full eye between the two, and even less in 3/4ths view. Here, it\'s more.

She seems a tad too thin - it\'s unsettling when the width of the shoulders is so much greater than the width of the hips.

So. Erm. Hm. Can I ask what it is? :P

ahh yes, sorry. the picture is for a personal project its of a race of sort of lizard/dragon people, the waistline and proportions are rather askew as I\'m trying a slight little sortof warner brothers influence to make for a slightly more expressive look, hence the wacky eye positioning as well. I\'m also taking a page from the western books as they have a long history of anthropomorphising (gods of spelling forgive me) people with animals like daffy and mickey.. possibly not as cartoony as them but the ability to acurately display human emotions and facial traits on faces that clearly arent.

anywho sorry to interupt, and any further sightings are always apreciated even from those that already have (always liked the art community here, got a lot of art skillups doing all those requests)... even criticism, so long as its more than \"U sux n00b FAIL GTFO etc etc etc\"

Greetings!

Good to see you again Kintall. *bows* I like them both, drawing seems to come so naturally from you. Muscle form, pose and hands especially.

The lizard female is very cute and friendly looking. :) *imagines her in a dress* Hmm, I do agree that broad shoulders make her look more manly. However, the hips may be a bit twisted there, hiding the full width. The eye looks better now, I agree. Typically herbivores have eyes more apart from each other, but that makes them look less human. http://www.nhm.org/mammals/page010.html

In the night acrobat picture the hand behind the head seems slightly too robust to me. Would give nice perspective if it was a bit smaller. I like her clothing. If it\'s symmetric though, another flap of her dress could be showing. The background is nice and nighty. If this is happening in Yliakum though, the moon and stars conflict a bit with the setting.

If you want, you can also test how reducing saturation affects. But that\'s more of a style thing.

Hello *bows back*

I thank you for your words of both praise and valuable criticism but first let me assure you drawing hands comes as naturaly to me as knitting to a harp seal, that amusing mental image aside..

I am glad you noted the wider shoulders, while they do imply masculinity shes actually supposed to be a warrior so a bit of increased beef doesnt go astray, but if I were to do a more peacful character then indeed there would be benefit to softening the bodily features as well as the facial ones, lol and as for the hips well I just plain ran out of paper on the bottom of the page, it would look right if I had the space I assure you :P

and the nighttime hopper lass, the clothing does seem a little incomplete but to be honest I had enough trouble wrestling the pose into submission I wasnt game to make the outfit any more conflicting ^^ and well the stars and moon fall more on the ills of quickly grabbing a backing frame from google imagesearch (best timesaver and reference tool in human history as far as I\'m concerned) yes I\'m, bad and I\'m probably going to hell... if not for this then for that incident with the scotch tape, the bucket of wax and that now abandoned nunnery... ahh good times...

oh and thanks for the useful link too, much to think about in these hallowed HTML\'s... hmm bone structures... hummm

might as well do a request if anyones got any interesting ones. lol though they wont be as fast as they used to mind you (I have a job now, evil is the act of growing up indeed)

[edit]oh lol and whilst no ones probably interested I have in my absense gotten work doing Tshirt Designs, band logos, album covers, concert and event posters, and even a feminist zine. A lot of which I can atribute to the skills I got here doing that mountain of requests for the assorted masses[/edit]

..I.. I remember you, I think!
Looks at the blinking signature..
Yes, I deffinately remember you. XD Good to see someone coming back, for a change! Hope you see a warm welcome.


I\'m deffinately not very good a critic, so if you read what I say, and then want to change something due to it, you\'re probably on the wrong track ;)

For your warrior girl, the only thing that I can see that hasn\'t already been stated, is the that the mid-section, mainly the rib-cage, is a bit odd positioned when looking at it in perspective. It could be just my eyes, or the way she\'s turned, but the rib-cage looks more straight and relaxed on her left side, than her right.. especially with the under-arm mark giving the general depth of her body. Besides this, your artwork is as always awesome and great  :]

Welcome back, Kintall!

well here we are again, these three I have partly state transit to blame for, (I have to wait about 45minutes from when I get to the statuion to when the blasted train comes) theyre all unfinished lol and two of them are in a sense \"naked\"

heres the first its nothign special, I just had an idea for a sorto enchanted stone tomb/temple/dungeon/generic oogy boogy place guardian thingie, the whole thing centred around a guilded stone eye for a head and hands that each have half a runes parts on it, so ifit claps its hands .... well I dunno but its cool though lol



this next one was another possible pose for the cat lady thief one, but this one was her halfway through a cartwheel and an escape ^^, youl have to forgive the nuddyness but I havent decided on clothign yet so theres just the basic body form there, the main problem I am aware of the the rather inadequate deformation of the left breast, because they elongate and flatten when the arm is raised but then theres the problem of what they do when theyre upside down... lol and moving. all very complicated and anatomical, any sugestins on an outfit are also welcome



Lastly I had an idea for a para-diaboli bloke, this ones nakey too but I gave myself a mental block when I finished the pose... I just cant stop picuring him with a motorcycle jacket and a cigarette stopping for a quick smoko, lol so with this one especially any clothing ideas are also apreciated... though he could stay that way and have the whole \"wildman of the woods\" look... hmmm  



as usual all comments and suggestions are apreciated, and if anyones got any interesting requests I\"d love to hear em (theres a number of ones in that fanart project I gots my eye on already... specailly that bloke with the mask)

I really love that last one :) Though to be honest I\'m a bit confused as to what\'s going on between his legs. Tail? Cloth? Too ambiguous and confusing. The wrists/fingers are oddly bent - it\'s a strange angle. Have you tried finding reference images, or perhaps even taking a photo yourself? Adore the head though.

A bit more flesh on that second character may be a good idea - simpler forms are great for animation, and stylizing as well, but it has to have enough other detail to hold the viewer\'s attention. It\'s just in sketch form, I realize, but in case you plan on doing more with it.

First image - also <3. There isn\'t much to critique because mecha\'s don\'t have to follow any \"correct\" design or anatomy, and it rocks right now.

I personally really like this one. When detail is added in, I think it will be eye catching. The positioning is different and great. Clothing suggestions? Not sure...Something clingy, defintely, since she\'s upside down, but I also think something full body, not showing a lot of skin. Like a wetsuit you would wear to fight someone in, lol. I like your style, keep posting some more of these :)

heres a very unfinished pic, its of that Idea I got from that other unfinished pic^^, and the idea of an \"unfinished\" armour in a finished way... well here it is, its not all that apparent but it will hopefully look good, I was going to give him a bloody great two handed sword... but then I think he\'d just look like nightmare out of soul calibur:P



as always comments/suggestions on works both old and new are apreciated and in fact the very reason I am here :P
