[Silvain]

Minor discolouration on his left cheekbone/orbital area, but & his right eye is a slight bit far off to the right, but this piece is pretty bangin'. Those two small complaints can easily be fixed in post production, although I'm assuming this is done on a traditional medium, and not digital, correct?

Great job either way! You're full of these works, I bet!

jiejiep responds:

Thank you for the feedback! You mean the eye above the yellow blotch on the cheekbone? His eyes are far-distanced from each other, haha. Though this was on purpose. Perhaps it's also the nose, I don't think I was planning to have it this crooked, LOL!

Yes, this was done with coloured pencils. When digital, I can cheat by dragging eyes and noses around :P.

My scouter indicates you need scoutin'.
...because you have some awesome works so far. It's like a series of pencil crayon scribbles, but dem scribbles amount to heavy articulated styling. Very good work. It's like cross-hatching pop culture on acid.

jiejiep responds:

I had no idea that the scouting was a thing on NG, but I was scouted today, so that's all fine now, haha! Thank you very much for your nice comment! Pop culture on acid? I'm not sure I understand your comparison :P

[Dark Souls 2 - Forest of Fallen Giants]

The key to this boss fight, you have to lay down in the fire. Once you do this, the Earth Knight simply walks overtop of you, and past the screen. After he's left the side of the screen, and presuming you're still alive, you can get up and proceed to the next screen, where there'll be four Earth Knights, and no fire pit. Good luck, players!

bluemagma responds:

Dark Souls 2 is going crazy with the whole "You against a bajillion other enemies all at once" thing. That fight against the gargoyles drove my crazy, since by the middle of it it just look like a giant mass of moving rock. xD

[The Man on The Silver Mountain]

jesus, has it really been that long?

akoRn responds:

YEAH :(

[Population Zero: The Grid Glow]

This should have been frontpaged.
It's amazing!

YakovlevArt responds:

Hehehe, thanks!
I think it still can be, right? That would be an honor!

[Tamed]

Perfection.
You should do your next piece as a tutorial, or step-by-step, so people can bask in enjoyment of your final piece, knowing how you put it together. Not only would it show us how you end up with such amazing results, but it could teach some of us a few new tricks!
10 Stars if I could give 'em. You're one of NG's best artists and I love everything you churn out.

G3no responds:

thanks for the kind words, but i'm just not a good teacher, if i give something like a tutorial or lessons, i'd feel i am pretending to be a GREAT teacher, some super master artist

[Random Character]

Great job on this.
If you are looking to go back into this with some fix-ups, the areas most noticeable, personally, would be:
Left arm: Appears her hand is backwards. Could always reverse, or put more emphasis on her palm with shading to show it's the underside of her hand, and not the back of it as it appears to be in this shot.
Foot in foreground: I believe what's causing this to look out of place is not the foot itself, rather the boot/shoe itself. A rounded boot-tip (shell) would help fill up this area, even if it's a small diameter. Her heel goes from a nice 3D to a flattened 2D state, so the shell would help the consistent 3D-ness of her foot.
Arms: The weakest complaint I have about this piece, because it's not really that bad. Her arms could be a slight extension longer (notably, from the shoulder to elbow section in the right arm - the forearm is of perfect length as it is), and likewise with her left arm, only a slight adjustment to that forearm, to compensate for overall proportions.

Still giving you a 5 for this piece, whether you touch it up or not. Faved as well. I see where you were going with it, and it did it's thing for me as soon as I saw it. Good job.

AkiCarlito responds:

hmm oh yeah now that you mention it! thank you! i had a feeling that the legs were off and all

and got it! thank you greatly for the critique! i'll try to fix it and see! > <
