Awesome

The lines on this drawing are really well done! I just wish the shading could match up to it, it looks too much like a vector... on the other hand that's kind of it's appeal too. I dunno, I think I like it.

IAmSpullen responds:

i was going for the same effect that ultrapitchfork has... not sure if i got it right or not though

Really well done

This piece is realyl well done, I like it a lot. Especially the eyes and the shading on the face. But I do think the rimlighting on the left side of the character could be fleshed out a little bit more, and to be fully honest it looks like things were a little rushed on the right side of the image? The staff doesn't show as much attention to detail as the armor and because of that it looks a little out of place. With that said, this is a very nice character design.

Good enough!

Really nice work on the face and the eyes, and props on the hair strands too. I do think that there could be more facial shading though, especially since the hair is so detailed yet the face is very flat. Maybe just add some subtle shading around the nose or the eyes, it would really flesh it out.

TheAlterEgo responds:

hemmm..
i'll try for next :D
thanks,
sometimes i think twice to give it more shading 'cause i afraid make it worse :P
lol

greatness

Really nice caricature! The mixture of soft lines and hard lines is interesting, but it's also distracting too. Kinda makes it hard to focus the eyes on any area specifically. But I really like the tones and the style.

Very nice

I love the distorted look and how it's made up entirely of circular blotches yet it's still detailed, and I really like how the shading changes colors yet still captures the depth so well.

IAmSpullen responds:

I like that you like it

Yummy

Really enjoying the clean lineart and the style of the character, she looks sassy and you illustrated that well. The anatomy looks nice and I love the coloring and her hair. It's a good mix of sharp shadows and soft highlightst.

Thanks much!
Inspiration for the style of this one partly comes from the stylized promo pieces for Hooters and other sports bars... =D

Superb

What a wonderfully done piece, it's excellent in so many respects. I freaking love the subtle luminance on the top of the Crono's sword and the full flat glow on Marle's hand. The character shading and details are excellent and so is the texturing, such as the clothing folds. The background mimicks the pastel look of the game's environments. I really like the look of Marle's face too, that's great and so is Frog's... but I'm not too fond of Crono's face, I dunno why. His nose looks too rounded and his mouth doesn't match his facial structure, like it's too masculine/rounded. Anyway, that's a minor issue. Favorite'd. This piece deserves more attention.

maniac086 responds:

Thank you very much! =)

Crono's facial features were a trick and a half to work on... haha
My goal was to give him slightly Asian eyes and nose (and even hair), with a Caucasian complexion and irises.
If you look at the full size, you may be able to notice that he really has dark/black hair, simply "dyed" to look that bright of red. I just thought this would be an interesting take on him since he's from a seemingly medieval European town but has plenty of familiarity with the katana; figured I'd have a little fun reimagining the character to help explain that a little.

But the mouth... the mouth... haha!
That got changed so many times, for the exact reason you've pointed out. Ultimately, I took a judging glance at it with the overall piece and felt satisfied at the time of completion. But it's definitely the biggest drawback for me as of now. So I will most likely definitely be going in and restructuring Crono's jawline and mouth when I get around to completing the Lavos half of the piece!

Thanks again!

ha!

What an excellent visual commentary. I love the lineart and attention to details, which is consistent with your other great works. Really well done.

Since this is a WIP, may I suggest adding a panel that shows a computer screen with a website on it similar to youtube... and the video in the page being the video of the suicide, and numbers racking up with the right-most numbers being a blur? It may or may not be too much, I dunno, but I thought i'd put it out there anyway. Feel free to ignore.

Excellent

This is has high potential for both the calendar and a t-shirt too.

Kembry responds:

I would piss in my pants , if I could win in the calendar contest :B
And for shirt, yes good idea man.
I should try to put it in Threadless.

cool

Very nice character, I like the muscle work and even the glossy material on him. The anatomy looks fairly accurate and I love his posture. I do think the gun-arms were a bit unnecessary though, it looks too over the top.
