You did a great job lucy. Darker darks, careful where you place them (the eye follows them through the pic so try to get the eye to move from upper left down through the pic with them) and distinguish the background by pushing it back a little (things in the distance get less detailed and grayer, in this case probably a tad darker and less focused) The only other thing is the symmetrical face. Faces are not <i>really</i> symmetrical. If you look at a photo of most anyone straight on you can cover half the face with your hand or a piece of paper or whatever, take a good look, then cover take your hand or the piece of paper and move it to the other side of the face and take a good look at the other half of the face. You'll find that the eyes are not identical and the other features are a little different from one half of the face to the other. Of course you might be doing the symmetrical thing on this panting on purpose for an effect, I don't know for sure, I'm not there. Good job.

I'd appreciate if you guys stop insulting each other's beliefs. If you disagree with someone, tell them on your own time, somewhere else.

Wonderful job. The texture of the grass is lovely, but there 'is' room for improvement on this peice. Typically, if you leave a border like this white, it should be filled up with other things.. For instance, you could add little dim feathers here and there. Thick white borders are normally unattractive.

Wonderful job overall, however.

Tamuriil (Jan 30, 2004)

Yes,well,er..The reason for all the extra white-ness is because it's going on my web page,and the background is white so it'd looklike it would blend in.As for the compression,it totally killed it. x_x;

Thanks for the C&C though. :)

you should be shot for changing the mouse cursor over links. everyone who does that without good reason should be.
p.s.: the front page image background isn't white, it's kinda pinkish and doesn't match the background.

whoosh

reminds me of the Venus painting by....uh, someone famous. Oh well, I'm not an art historian but consider it flattery to be compared to a master.

marcello (Jan 22, 2004)

It's alright, but I think the lighting on the face could use some work (like I mentioned on another piece). More contrast, "lighter lights, darker darks."
Also the face seems somewhat deformed to me, almost cat-like. Maybe the jaw/mouth comes out too far. If you wanted to fix it, you could try moving the neck and back of the jaw forward rather than the whole face back.

No, Marcello, the shadow is behind him, on the inside ledge of the cliff that you cant see. Consistent with all the other shadows. (That is, if he is casting one yet. He just now jumped :) He would have to still be standing on the ledge for there to be a shadow there.

Look (Jan 29, 2004)

lol @ that jump onto the ground comment. If you move him furthur up, it might help to clear it up. I like the sensation in the drawing, probably because of the free and open pose of the chracter. Feels like flying.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 29, 2004)

Yeah, I do see what he means... I probably wasn't successful in portraying how it actually looked - We are (supposed to be) viewing it from a rock a little higher up on the cliff looking downward at him and he was right on the edge. But if i gotta explain it, it means it sucks! lol

dixielandcutie (Jan 29, 2004)

i see it. and i think its great!
