MICKEY WE NEEED YOOOOU

[Hello?]

I think this could be a great pic, given more polish. There is some great rosy-warm colours going on all around this picture; the change of colour in your shading/highlighting is also nice. I quite like the ripple effect in the bed sheets from the flowing brush strokes.

But, as I said, it needed more refinement. She has chubby fingers, which was the first thing I noticed since we can't see her face. She also doesn't seem to be holding the phone correctly; since we can't see the top half we're lead to believe that her hand is clenched tightly around bit you talk into, which looks wrong. The few places you did put linework didn't really need it since they're contrasted either by the colour of the bed or the shading of her body. BUT the telephone on the bed prob needs more definition.

CryBurger responds:

She's got elephantitis in her hands though :C
Nah really, thanks for the review!

[Angreh Burfs!]

Backgrounds are noobs! But it helps slightly adjusting the colours of your subjects so that they look like they belong in your background. In this case, a blueish/green tint would help.

Nice job trying to draw realistic versions! You've gone to a high level of detail, and the three little blue birds look great! The red jay does look a bit asymmetric, though. Thanks for taking part!

Luwano responds:

Thanks for your input. I always forget about "joining" foreground and background. In this case I ran out of time and just did something that indicated some kind of movement. The red bird was the first I did and the blue birds were the last. I felt I learned a bit along the way. Red's eye is lopsided and I am not sure about the eye position of the top-right blue one.

Thanks for hosting another flood and for your advice.

@SirNightOwl will love this

That head is tiny compared to the body. What's worse is the waist is as thin as the head, so overall you have this weird lanky pseudo-human.

The more you draw like this, the further into these bad habits you are treading. You love drawing people, so at the sketch stage just refer to some photos to see whether you are getting proportions right. Otherwise your final piece suffers hugely.

What on earth is going on with that anatomy? The length of her torso is as long as one her legs. After more than 120 pictures of doing the same thing over and over, these shouldn't be mistakes you should be making.

[Crashsite]

The thumbnail got me here, but the look of the mountains, ice cliffs and spaceships gives this a look of a composition of stuff from photographs etc. I read your response to a review on your previous piece, which said you used photoshop, and the elements were rendered, painted or photo manipulations, and that you didn't want to go into detail on techniques and workflow ...

... but I kinda want you do that. What parts of this picture is taken from a photo, and how did you acquire the space ships?

Cheers, now I don't have to go down the shops for a card.

Also you did a swell job on the nebula - heart shaped, but looks natural. The colours are golden and otherwordly, and I like that you've got a hint of green (I think?) in the core of the nebula.

[Plauge of Bullshit]

This isn't a review, just an observation: Judging by the thumbnail, I'm wondering what the reaction to this pic would be if you changed the rating to A.

;)

Was thinking about it but I gave up in the last minute :D
