[Smelly kitty!]

stinkay kitteh

I see you're going for the iconoclastic style.. whatever that means. You missed a little shading on the cat's body. The cat's "skin-handle" wrinkles don't look realistic. It's a cute piece!

Loopykitty responds:

Thank you I shall indeed heed your words! :)

Expressive

The angles make the attitude work in this sketch. It really looks 80's like, with the exception of the tats - most punks never had enough dough, but piercings can be infected by anyone! One star off for facial composition, though I like the one or two lines that hint at a 3/4 look... well done and welcome to NG!

g4mbi7girl responds:

thank you so much!

out of curiousity, what about the facial comp is bugging you?

[Sucker]

Ever so slight mess up

Myself, I would've overlooked the hand (composition seems right). See? There are so too female tentacle monsters! Nice job.

thanks!

['World II']

I like. It works.

Great colors in a patchwork! I especially like the gray shading on the space-ship thingy in the upper left (in the red area); it kinda shows (infers) there is a light source on the right side of the picture... really brings out the depth of the whole piece. Good show, old man.

Butzbo responds:

Well curiously the 'space-ship' was one of the first things i collored, and it worked quite well with some sort of shading, but for most of the "creatures", it was hard to create the same effect without making it too 'weird looking/confusing', so i just kept the first one like that, and it's interesting to know that just that was enough to make it look deeper.
Thanks a lot for reviewing!

If this woman was the inspiration... damn. Excellent work all around - great job on the freckles, bg and hair! I guess I've had muses of a sort, but mostly draw upon my own idiosyncrasies, which is too bad when I consider this piece.

knobbywood responds:

Yeah the freckles were fun, I just threw some water colors onto a scrap piece of paper, scanned it in and then made a new layer set the properties to color burn and dropped the opacity to about 50%. The result was a natural soft freckle, it worked out pretty well

Thanx for the comments.

cute oc's

Spotted your style of drawing on the art page straight off! Good luck with the comic... maybe in a flash form, later on?

LovelyKouga responds:

Wow, really? X3 Thanks so much!
Haha yeah people have been pushing and pushing for the new flash...it will have Jessi, Riley and Leem in it (the one in green). But I'm having trouble even starting to animate it.

Long time fan

Nice setting and subject matter. 2 stars off for face composition and lack of wing-detail. Her boots are colored too closely to the grass (unless it's a golden-hour lighting thing). This is a good first attempt at a single character; please keep trying!! The white background works (for me at least).

Kamikaye responds:

Thx a bunch :) Ill definatly continue my work on characters, so I can integrate them into my other pictures one day.
