Cool

nice drawing, quite atmospheric. My fav part is Alduins head. Ridley is a bit hard to make out; I initially didn't see his head and though it was all part of the same dragon. Personally I'd have put ridleys tail and leg above the flames. All in all good work though.

Lintire responds:

Yeah, Ridley's whole composition is a bit iffy. Just kind of happened, you know?

And thanks! I really do plan to get better at making these kinds of paintings.

okay idea

but very basic execution. Everything could be quite a bit more detailed. The way the moustache curls outwards on the top is quite odd, and the way you drew his hand is a bit messy; the line quality doesn't match the other lines. The cane he's holding is much heavier lined than the rest of the drawing; which makes it look weird.

Got the makings of a good stylized pic...

but it's not quite there yet. It looks a bit rushed to me; I would have liked to see more bold black areas; the hatchin makes this look a bit messy; dunno if that's because of the hatching or just the execution of it (which could be a bit neater).
I like the way you drew the nose and the almost square hand (which doesn't quite seem to be holding the beerbottle).
Like zane I'm no big fan of the sparce coloring.

good idea

I like the idea of this, but it would have been cool if you had incorporated more beer related elements. The thrusters could be beer kegs spraying beer out of the back, maybe you could have incorporated a bottle opener too.
The way you outlined the thruster flames makes them look solid; I'd personally have made it a couple of lines rather than a closed shape so that it's more obvious that it's not a solid.
In such an industrial design; it's important that symetric stuff is actually symetric, which you didn't quite manage in certain areas of this drawing.
I always like your pencildrawn stuff much better than your digital inks; maybe you could try doing some pencil shading too.

Movement

Nice work; I could definitly see this as some advertising for beer brand x. I like how you integrated the thumbnail a couple of times (but you still didn't set it right).
Anyways, really goot movement in this; like some kind of tribal dance or a party or something. The beer orb looks a bit like an orange, maybe if you had made it a little less perfectly round it would have been better. I can't really make out what's happening with the head/face/mask?
I'm looking forward to seeing what awesome stuff you'll make with a tablet ;)

ZaneZansorrow responds:

Lol the portal won't let me re-crop it right. And I'm so psych for that tablet too :D

Nice lighting

Good job on the lighting and reflection in this one although you could probably add some harder transitions, e.g. in the handle.
The bottom of the mug is pretty flat, rounding it a bit more could give it some more depth. You could have given the table cloth more depth if you had blurred the white lines towards the back. The mug seems to be slightly tilted relative to the table too.
All in all good work though, nice rich colors, makes me thirsty!

hiya, though I'd just chip in.

I'm no fan of most of your work, but you have made a couple of great stylistic pieces that I quite like, this isn't one of them. I'm not trying to bash you or anything, just think it's unfair to you that you don't get a decent review because poeple are busy licking your ass.
I like the general atmosphere in this piece; the brownish grey background works well. It might have ben better to move the lightest part of the bg to behind the head rather than her elbow, so that that's your focal point.
Composition-wise I don't like how her fingertips are almost touching the right edge of the canvas; it would have been an easy fix to just add 100px to that side and get rid of that tension, or you could have moved the entire dancer to the right a bit. Furthermore I would have moved her down on the canvas a bit so that there is a bit more empty space above her than there is below her.
The anatomy is off in a number of places; the fingers on her left hand seem pretty mangled and thin, her neck is quite long, and her left foot is a bit big I think, especially for a dancer. Her left shoulder appears to be dislocated the way it bulges up. The way her right knee bends sharply inwards suggests that is her kneecap we are looking at, whereas we should be looking at the back/side of her knee if she is to turn her foot away from us so much. If she is standing on her entire right foot; it should be sloping upwards to the left (her toes are farther away than her heel, perspective dictates they should be higher). If she is actually standing on her toes, the bend in her heel shouldn't be so sharp and the shading is off.
Unless she actually painted her legs white, her toenails shouldn't show that much ;)
Other poeple have mentioned her right arm; I'm not sure that there is actually that much wrong with it apart from shading. Fact is that it looks mangled, even if it is actually a plausible pose. This is a problem I'm familiar with but there are two solutions: you could have made the bend in her arm more clear with shading, or you could have just changed her pose.
Another reviewer was especially impressed by the face, but I personally think it's actually (one of) the weak spot(s) of this drawing. Her eyes are okay, but the nose is quite short and high on her face, which throws the entire thing off balance. Her mouth seems to be too high up too, but that could be caused by the nose. Her ears are quite big and are placed too far to the back of the head. Ears normally line up with the jawline as it bends upwards.
The human eye is trained to immediately look for poeple's faces, it tells us more about a person than any other part of their body. That's why it is so important to get faces right in a drawing. They don't have to be extremely detailed or anything, but certain aspects of it have to be right.
The shading in the entire drawing is pretty rough, which isn't a problem per se, but you could have solved some anatomy issues with it. You don't really seem to have (a) clear light source(s), which leads to some inconsistencies in lighting and which makes it harder for yourself.

Lot's of points; again I'm not trying to bash you, just hoping you can take something away from it and get even better at drawing that filthy porn you draw ;)

awesome

some aspects of this r cool.

other aspects r awesome.

the coolness and awesomeness strenghten each other, and overall it's a 9.

Seriously though, awesome work, not to fond of how you drew the shoes, doesn't really seem to fit in with the rest; otherwise great!

Cool

Cool idea. A bit messy in both the linework and the shading which is a shame cause I really like the design.
Personally I would have probably chosen to go with either top or bottom lightning rather than from one side; that could make it a lot more dramatic; especially if you used really bold shading. What shading there is does in general make sense, except that the bunnies fur is awefully flat; His face curves just as much (even more probably) as the helmet, yet it has less shading.

Toast-Tony responds:

Thanks J-qb, i like the design myself so am considering redoing this image, i will take the advice of the lighting, never thought of the way lighting would change the image, making it more dramatic is what i am after. i feel the cheeks are a little too small and the fur doesn't look like fur lol so there is much to attend to in making this image finished. Thank's a lot for the advice dude, good as ever.

DAMN RIGHT THEYRE CUTE!

D`awwwww so cute! A bit of a nonsensical collage with the three of them. All three of them are really well done, but you could have put some work in how you presented em. I like the left one the most, its fur is really well done. I like how you put hints of color in the middle one even though is just black and white.
Also: happy belated birthday!
