Still needs a lot of work but I'm lazy, so yeah...and is it just me, or did it get funked up when I uploaded it O.o? It looks pixely.

Yeah the little pixelyness isn't helping the picture at all -_-...Safety save.

I have no idea how to make the skin less...bland x.x. And the airbrush tool is being annoying now. Lovely eh?

Still looks pixely =/! Oh well...as for the background, I suck at flames -_- it was a first attempt. CRITIQUE ON FLAMES WOULD ROOOOOOOCK! No idea what to do next, if it comes to me then I'll do it. As for now it will remain hidden.

ARGH! Forget it -_- this is not how it was suppose to be. Don't post according to this picture, post according to the finished on when you see the animation or on the one on this link: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v368/Silly_lilly/ceremony.png
Critique would help a ton!

How'd you get that cool shading effect on the skin?

keikai (Nov 13, 2006)

XD? Cool? I actually used airbrush but it got funked when I uploaded. If you look on the link, you can tell it was messed up when uploaded. But I'm glad you like the texture.

Deformed (Nov 13, 2006)

Yeah. I actually like the version here better. The sharpened shading makes it look cooler.

keikai (Nov 13, 2006)

Whatever floats your boat I guess =/.........EWW I SOUND OLD....anyways, glad somebody likes this picture XD!

Well, I'm impressed Keik, you did a fine job on this. Your getting better and better. Btw welcome back. I wondered where you went to.

Like Deformed said, I like the gradation shading you have here. Looks like subtle cell shading (remember what you did and try to do it again)

If you want a little critiqing ok. (try not to be harsh) Make the left (on our right) horn thicker on the bottom near the skull, put some shading on the right (since the light source seems to be coming from the left) some brighter highlights on the jewels. Some shading where the jewels on his neck and snout are to seperate then from the head. A few highlights on the red rings around his horns (just a few near the very front) and shade the little horns a tich just to make them stand out (especially the one at the back because it looks lost in front of the bigger horn)

Other than that I love this. It's your best yet. The backgrounds great and the hound overall is nicely done. Nice job.

_{btw I finished that Link pic, dunno if you knew}

keikai (Nov 13, 2006)

Thanks! I sort of just went into hibernation x.x dunno why though. Anyways! I'm back! I'll be sure to take in everything to mind next time I do a similiar picture!

As for the background, I'm glad it didn't turn out to bad XD I had NO idea what to do. Thanks for all the wonderful information (;D and being smart enough to figure out it's a hell hound type beast, I thought nobody would figure it out so I just put dragon x3! Obviously your skills in sensing are great)

As for the link picture! I'll have to see that right away! -gets all excited-!

SpikeStutters (Nov 14, 2006)

Hehe, it looks like Houndoom from pokemon. Houndoom rules. Critique: a little more shading would make this so much more powerful. And maybe more in the bg, but not so much that it takes away from the foreground. Otherwise this is very nice.

keikai (Nov 14, 2006)

x.x oh wow you're right. I had no idea what that was so I looked it up and I realised they are really similiar XD! My bad!

Anyawys, I'll keep all that in mind. Thanks for all the help!
