The only reasons to post something here are to show it off and/or to get cnc and posting something that you know is bad defeats the purpose of both, so why would you do it?

By my standards, everyone's standards here at this site are incredibly low.


Nothing too seriously wrong that I can see in this, since im fairly certain most of what I (personally" don't like can be chalked up to stylistic choices, BUT! One thing I do think would make this look better is if you found a way to create a better foreshortening effect in this.

Now, I know foreshortening is hard enough even just within the realms of realistic drawings (where the tricks to create depth work a LOT better), but if you could find a way to push the feeling that his arm is coming at the viewer it'd really improve the piece. The first thing that comes to mind is the head to closest arm relationship. While it DOES make sense for the arm to start under the head layer just like the body, its also throwing things off. I feel like if you change the drop shadow under neath the head to not show that that arm is UNDER the head it might help a bit, but then the new problem would be how the arm and head are the same color (thus removing depth). To remedy that, you could try adding gradients to give some dimension to the arm at that shadow would change the color of the arm possibly enough to differentiate one from another. Idk, its mostly just theory but the bottom line is that closest arm is bringing you down.

(also on a side note, you might want to try adding some highlights to the Gladiator, you have that bright white energy ball but no shadows being cast, or highlights being generated. These are things you need to keep in mind for future pieces, because details like lighting can REALLY step up art game. **also, try and avoid so much pure white, its really competing with itself when the eyes goes around the canvas, try slightly grayed white or REALLY light versions of your primary color, ittl add mood too!)

I can think of at least 4 or 5 thing this art needs serious fixing.

@plasmaghost, wow you really know a lot, i wish i had your mind n art intelligence

@drone, i dunno, i always thought you could post art here, sense it was an art thread, even if you dont thing it looks good, some else might, everyone doesn't think the same, that why there is always more than 1 person in a counsel, if it was up to 1 persons opinion, ppl would rebel, just saying all of this to get back to the point that is:
If you are good @ art, you might see something thats not so good and say it looks terrible, but if you are not good @ art you might think it looks good becuz its probably better than what you could do, see, its still art, nothing less
would you like me to treat you as less than a person if you were ugly?

@hewitt, im not equip with the knowledge, intelligence r pro-ness to argue/discuss anything with you, i'd lose, so ill stay out of your way. toodaloo :)

None of your arguments really have anything to do with the point I made, you seem to just be rambling on in a desperate attempt to defend your opinion. Look at what I said again then read through what you've said and compare the two, we're both on two completely different topics

I hereby declare this thread the FANART thread. Since most of these things are virtually the same schtick (dohoho), I have assimilated all these posts into one thread. Post all fanarty shit in this thing and let the shit fly. We'll see how this goes.
