[Sailor Simpson]

Welp!

Welp! I've seen countless images of American cartoon and movie characters turned into Anime characters, but it's nice to see an Anime character turn into an American styled character! And you've done it very well, it looks spot-on as far as the Simpsons style goes. I'd say you've got a good blend of proportions, neither the adult or child proportions in the Simpsons are accurate, so if you're going for a teenager look I'd say you did it quite well.

Thank you very much :D

Nice work

I like the simple shading style and he definitely has an epic feel to him, although the background is bland it does help to set your focus on the character rather than the scene as a whole. I would've at least finished the background though, even if it were just colored better.

[Fire for feathers]

Wow

Wow, this is an underrated piece! Excellent work on the details and on capturing so much character in her. The personality really stands out and the bare backgroudn really helps the image--somehow, I don't know but it does. I love the subtle rim lighting on her right side.

[Fathers and Sons]

Great style

I love the style of this piece, really really well done. I don't particularly know what's going on in it, but it's a commission--I don't have to :)

[Old Guy]

Nice.

Nice work, nothing extremely detailed but nothing bad either. For a quickie it's a solid quickie with good sense of style and cartoony proportion.

[Loam thrush]

Rubbish?!

Rubbish? Where's the rubbish?! This is a fantastic image with a very whimsy yet well illustrated feel. I like the smirk on the bird's face, and there's many fine details in the image too.

[Kill Me, Free Me]

Beautiful

Simply superb work for such a not so simple piece. A great fractal that has warm inviting colors that look great from a far and even better up close. It almost looks like you're glancing up at a chapel ceiling.

Love it

I love the style of this piece from head to toe-such as the soft glow around the metalic parts to the goofy character designs. I really appreciate that the character in the suit has some bulging around his neck where the suit is constricting his body. And excellent work on the eyes too, they are slightly realistic without breaking the cartoon look either, it's a fair blend of both. Technically speaking, this is an excellent image.

As far as telling the story goes... I don't particularly like how both of their faces are staring straight into the camera. I think it would give them more personality if the one at least angled their head towards the other.

Osuka responds:

Thanks

I tried at the beggining adding angles to the camera and i didnt like it, also looking directly to the front look more like a flash cartoon XD

[3D Desert Car]

What caused the accident?

The composition is actually kind of nice, although it doesn't really make much sense--there's no other car visible. What happened that caused the car to lose it's tire? There's no other vehicle, there's no barrier. Did it crash into it's own accident sign maybe? :P Speaking of which the sign is only posted one foot away from the car, it wouldn't give anyone warning soon enough. Finally a bunch of pyamids are kind of arbitrary...but style-wise, I really like how the rays of the sun kind of "swirl" in the sky, really makes it feel like it's hotter--even if I don't like the sun. And the image does a superb job of giving the sense that there's absolutely nothing to be seen for miles. I know you can't update this image any more since the project file was lost but just remember to think think more thoroughly about the concept when working on new pieces!

[Star Fighters]

A little empty

This piece seems empty even if there are four ships in view, this is mainly because of your background and viewpoint. At first glance it's hard to make out that there's a planet that has rings behind those ships, all that's noticeable is the sharp white crescent and this green orb with yellow rays coming out There should also be more stars in the background and maybe a few more planets too, to give it the feeling that there's a real solar system around them. I like the design you chose for the ships, but maybe alter their individual colors or details a little.

It's a good piece, it could just be a little better.
