I like it actually, but heres some things....

That are good and that can be improved:

-Posture & Anatomy:
She looks like she is in a rather uncomfortable turned position of the head, and her shoulders look as though they might be a bit to far back for the way that she is turning, or rather bring her right arm around more to the front to give her a more "I'm running, aren't i cute" kind of look.

Her mouth looks a tad to high, and her jawline seems a bit to rounded, maybe add some small detail marks and shading to give the jaw a bit more depth.

Other than that the rest of the body looks pretty good overall.

-Background & Scenery:
The sky has a nice subtle but effective feel to it. The detail to the plants is actually quite nicely done. Maybe a touch of shading on the grass and the other plants around the grass. Also make it look as though it is flowing along with the (what appear to be) leaves flowing in the wind, by having the grass bend in a similar direction, but without making them look exactly the same.

The floating "leaves" look a bit to out of place as far as the detail goes, but would look nice with a bit more color and shade.

And well, the ground looks like it is either sand, or dirt, it is to hard to tell. Practice a bit more on ground styles cause along with the rest of what is a pretty good looking picture, it is a bit of a distraction rather than a nice detail.

Hopefully i wasn't to harsh on you, i actually really liked it, even with it's minor flaws! =3

OnionsXD responds:

OMG!! this is just about the most helpful review I've had! Thanks so much! I even see and notice all those minor flaws no and I even realized something else as well. those kinda big green leaves in the foreground WERE NOT supposed to be leaves or even green. They were flower petals and I shaded them and everything and somehow they turned all one shade of green and I never noticed!! Thanks for the review! these especially help!:DD

Hmmmm....

Well there are a few things i wonder about this:

1) Is the ship design inspired by starfox? Because it sounds an aweful like that to me.

2) What program are you using to get 3D effects?

And here are a few pointers:

1) There needs to be a bit more detail work in the wings. Give them more of a fly-able look.

2) Maybe smooth off the edges of it just ever so slightly, but don't make it look spherical(if this makes sense)

3) Use a bit more color overall.

4)More general detail. Give it some aesthetic charm.

Anyways it wasn't too bad. =3

Kinsei responds:

Detail seems to be eveyones biggest issue with this model, so that is a sign that I need what? Yes, thats right. more detail.
Honestly I'm not mocking you on this, I just needed a creative starting line for my response. Although I joke around a lot, I take critique and reviews very seriously.
Ok back on track here

this ship wasn't inspired by Star Fox, It was just something I was playing around with when I was trying to come up with the cyberpunk stage.

For my 3D I tend to use 3DsMax, Maya, and Zbrush, or a mix of all 3.

I'll get some more color and detail in there I promise. :P
thanks for the review and 7 it'll come in handy later when I use my 3D models to RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good

I can definitely tell it's Charlie Brown.

There are a few problems:

1) The color of skin and clothes kind of blend in. But this might just be the fact that Crayons can be a bit hard to color with at times lol

2) The background is a little overly simple. It's hard to tell the difference between the floor.

3) Shoes look a little funny. Though i know how hard shoes can be.

I can tell there was some obvious effort put forth into the making of this picture, so it was a good try anyways. =3

Fro responds:

1) Yeah, I wish I had colored pencils. The scanner really messed it up though and the original is more obvious that they are different colors.

2) Read a Peanuts cartoon and you'll realize this is as complicated as the backgrounds get.

3) Lol, my bad.

Thanks

Pretty cool

Here be some things i found about this one, both good and bad and maybe a little off:

1)(Good) The overall proportion was done pretty good.

2)(A little Off) The crotch area seems a little be large and low for a person lol

3)(Alright) The background looks okay from here, but you should make sure to tell everyone to look at it in full size since the black in the background isn't really black it's clear, as you probably know?

4)(Good) The details overall is very well done. Though the hair is a bit off and is your typical spiky hair thing, but it works alright.

5(Good) There is definitely not a lack of color in this pick, with a lot of colors that aren't to bright or piercing in it.

It's pretty good. =3

Kinsei responds:

Low crotch....
>.>... he's compensating yeah....
I'll take note of enlarged crotch area in the future. :P

I guess I really should have just put the original white up with that background. the transparency really isn't helping is it.

thanks for the tips.
sweet review

Hmmm....

It wasn't awful, but the text was.

If you are able you "make" something that looks fairly cool, such as the background then you should be able to do something cool with the text as well. And why would you want the text of a piece of are to be the focus? Text is meant to describe what is going on in the scene, not distract you and reduce the overall look.

The dot (Oh sorry i mean the "BULLET SHIP") in the middle works though. This should be the focus point, as it helps bring all of the surroundings together.

Oh and another thing you need to work on is being able to take negative criticism. Coop And Celx And haggard all said about the same thing with the text. But i believe you only thought Haggards review was helpful was because of the review score.

And Coop also brought up a good point about the descriptions. Yes you can pick up different things from the same piece of art, but having an idea of what is actually there can give you a good contrast to maybe what you see in it. I mean We probably would have had no clue that it was a ship if you hadn't said so in the responses.

And yes you can interpret a GOOD piece of art in different ways. But because this is DECENT and the only things we know about it from looking and the description are, something to do with "Hyper Warp" and the GIMP editing program.

Please don't be a dick to the people giving you negative constructive criticisms, otherwise you probably wont get any help other than the "This sucks," and "This was Cool" reviews.

mikkim responds:

First and second paragraph : I already know that, just that I cant fix it because when I saved it as an .xcf I merged all the layers, and also the bullet AND the text was the focus.

Third paragraph : It's a BULLET, not a bullet SHIP, and it IS one of two focuses.

Fourth: The reason I didn't like them was because they dissed the bullet.

Fifth: Okay, that is a good point, next time I submit a piece of art I will do that (I know that Coop said that first, but I am acknowledging that here.)

Sixth:Repeat of the fifth.

Seventh: I am taking CONSTRUCTIVE criticism properly. It's just when people take away points for something that was INTENTIONAL and others have found okay, when I feel that they aren't reviewing properly, because reviews aren't about opinion, they are about telling when something completely destroys the image, such as the text hurting the image in this. If I could fix that I would, but I now know not to use such text in that way.

You and your strange fixation with checkerboards

I say that only because I'm reviewing his one after i reviewed the other two lol

This feels incomplete. The "Fog" effects seem to be just kind of there, not really doing much, just there. There needs to be more connectivity with the white spots, or a shown reason as to why the spots are like that.

The chess piece looks a bit strange but it's not terrible. The checker board itself looks alright, though it looks like it may have ended suddenly in the back. And the positioning of the checker board to the background seems a bit strange to me.

It's not bad, but could use some work. =3

lol

Well it looks like it was fun to have drawn, but there are some issues going on here.

The sand is kind of bland and lacks fine detail to it. The coconuts are oddly shaped and remind me of those madness guys from the madness day thing.

The tree is too erect and not shaded very much, and the leafs on the tree are all connected and don't really look like a coconut tree leafs.

The thing you've got going for you that's done pretty good is the shine effect going on.

Just keep on working on it, it could turn out alright. =3

Thanks for the review Kirby

Interesting

The 3d effect is working well for this one. The only 3d weirdness seems to be around the door though, it doesn't look as 3d as the rest of the room.

The color scheme is simple, but it works out well. The shine effect is a bit spotty, but it looks nice still and gives it much more life.

The door that looks like its giving off the light looks a bit odd, the "star" in the center of it looks cool, but could use ever so slightly more detail.

Keep up the good work! =3

Some random lines here and there

There is some shading here and there, and some shine effects as well, but the lines on the grey and around the board are a little strange.

To me they don't truly serve a purpose other than being little distracting. The shine effects on the lines connecting the individual checker board parts are a bit strange as well.

But it's not to bad though, you've got a good start here. Just keep up the work. =3

Not to bad

Good shading where it is used. Decent proportions. Nice sword design.

But for all of the detail put into the shirt and pants, it seems to be missing in other places.

The arms and fingers could use some more defining in the curves, the neck could use some too.

And i know how hard shoes can be to draw, so i wont be too harsh, so i'll just say, keep practicing on the shoes till you get them how you want them. =3

CelestOrion responds:

Thanks for the response! I'll admit, hands and fingers are my worst enemy. I'm surprised I even made them look like that in the pic. I'll also take note on the clothing, and see what I can do there.

A giant lovable teddy bear here to hugs kittens. =3 FEAR MY "=3" face!!!!!!
