Artist's Comments

Commission for ~laquaza

I'm fully aware that the hands are too big. ^^ Otherwise feel free to critizise as much as you want.

And let's play *Find the Omkara* ;)

Critiques


:iconhiita-hime:
Once again, I will compliment you on the use of colours, because you have a real flair for what colours suit which and so forth. The coldness of all of the different shades of blue, be they pale or vivid, really make the painting that much more intense. I especially love the shading on the left hand; they streaks of blue look almost like veins, which is totally badass. If they're just muscle shading, then it's equally badass. The movement in this is amazing too, particularly with the body, and I love the tension in the tendons of his neck and his forearms. However, I think that you have the potential to make this seem even more charged with energy if you concentrated on muscle tone. There's nothing wrong with the anatomy - even though you insist the hands are disproportioned, which they're not, in my opinion, I think it's just foreshortening - and the concentration in his expression is fantastic, but there's something stiff and unnatural about the hair. Normally, I'd say that it could just be your style, but considering that the water seems full of energy but slightly awkward as well, maybe you need to practice on that a bit more? By that, I mean, the concept of this is excellent, but the water just seems a little too unnatural to me - it looks like fabric to me, not water. I would suggest making the edges less linear and maybe more rounded, I don't know. Your folds and creases in the clothes are good too, but the fabric of his trousers, especially the crotch - oh god, I must not giggle like a little schoolgirl - is bothering me. Apart from that, it really is a stunning work of art.

To start I will have to say that this is of course amazing and beautiful as always, you simply never cease to blow me away with your awesome skills. XD

Before I read your artist comment I thought that the hands were big because of a perspective reasoning, as if we were looking down on him at an odd angle. And you do hands so beautifully I never normally have complaints about them :heart:

The water is beautiful in shape, but I think that it could use some reflective colors because it might pick up traces of his color and the dark background to his left and some strong highlight into the ones that are really dark since it almost seems as if there is a light source behind/around it. The light around the water is a little confusing to me as well because the dark blue shadowing is a different type of blue, and to keep the picture universal I think the water could have used some of the dark shadow you used on him. Because right now to me the water seems separate from the rest of the image.

I must know your secret to clothing. :lol: It's gorgeous.

-and I'm not sure what vision is myself o.o So 4 stars for you lol-

My critizism: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!!
And withi that ends my part of the critizism:3

But I really don't notice that the hands are too big, it is very subtle at my oppinion (or it is simply that I am still in ave of this ^^';)

Anyways, keep up this great work ^_^)

This is beautiful, Dra.
I'm really itching to critique though; I've gotten addicted to it as of late, haha! So, would you mind awfully if I did, or are you getting fed up of my critiques? ;)
:iconericquin:

This is amazing. I love the way you did the water, but I also like the markings you made on his skin, and how they're a little hard to pick out, but still visible. Again, amazing.

Pretty! You draw humans(humanoids?) very well too, you should do them more often. Nice water magic effect...thing.
