[Bunbun]

mMmmeMMMMMmmmm

Great for the Flood Logo, yes! Mm, chocolatey brown bunny, yummy.
My complaint is that the foreground grass doesn't look layered, because there's no contrast between neighbouring straws.

Otherwise, mmmmMMmmmmmMmMMM.

Ah yeas good point

[Hank plus AR15]

Aight

I'm not a fan of Madness.
I'm a fan of Rhunyc's Madness fan-art.
Your pics capture an extra 1-dimension of drama, action and sheer epicness in a single scene.

This pic Hank is just blasting away at some unknown which produces a bucket load of gore. The dynamicism of the pic is all down to the diagonals - the flow of blood, the direction of the (gorgeously detailed) rifle, and the fall of the bullets. Not to mention the gritty colours you've decided to use.

My negative criticism is petty, since you shouldn't add/subtract much more to this pic. One is that I think you could have shaded/highlighted the head scarf a bit better, since the first thing I look at is either Hank's face, or the exploding barrel of the rifle.

The second is the size of the canvas - it's too tall! I think it might be easier to understand if you treat the rifle as a line that splits the canvas in half. It's an odd trick, but it helps enclose your character within the canvas. I think it would also keep most of the good bits within the centre third of your pic.

Summary: Yeah it's good and stuff.

Rhunyc responds:

Hey thanks for the amazingly awesome review. It makes me warm and fuzzy!!

Also, the depth of your review is great too, awesome feedback! I like to know exactly what I can improve on and what I should do to make the image better.. So thank you! :)

[cb -Dawn and Diana-]

Sorry, no thanks.

Lesbian rape, bunny ears and gravity defying solid masses of hair.
It's a tragedy that these stupid themes find their way into almost every single anime pic.

I'm awarethat this is an old pic , but please keep an eye on your anatomy since it's still lacking in your recent pics. If her right eye wasn't covered with hair it would have surely evacuated her skull, her palms are huge compared to her face, and her bodyshape is a rectangle with boobie bumps.

DawnieMewMew responds:

majority of these pictures, especially the recent ones are old that were never posted here...but thanks for the criticism.

[Comas]

Mmm

Four panels too long :( After panel two the joke drags.
It's a shame you decided to restrict yourself to C&H style, when you could easily be original with your own simplistic style.

GenericJosh responds:

Thanks, but I thought it looked better in their style, I wanted to do a guest comic for them and couldn't really make up a style on the spot. And don't all C&H comics drag on? like really?

[Stand On My Own Two Feet.]

Yup

Great colours, and nice lighting on the mountains and the edges of the castle.

If you changed the blobby clouds so they looked more natural, and tightened up the detail on the silhouette of the castle, you'll have an excellent pic right here.

Kuoke responds:

I accidentally started painting the clouds on the same layer as the sky, and seeing as how I was rushing myself - yeah. I'm also really bad with clouds, so I guess that was expected.
I will have to do something about that.

Thanks for commenting.

[Cahnel de Bleu]

Woo

Great job, I was almost fooled in thinking you uploaded an image off the web. The glassy sheen off the bottle is really interesting. Do you think you've learnt anything to use in your future paintings?

You may want to provide a link to your reference in the Author's Comments, so people can compare the two.

banegame responds:

Good Idea.
Thanks for the comment

[Friday Flood 3]

CAT POWERRR

The drawings a decent concept, and the boss claw-creature looks awesome. You defintely get the idea that we're now deep in a SHMUP game.

There's a few negatives which people have noticed, though. The composition is everywhere, and crowded. Ideally, you should work out what the main parts of the painting are (here I guess your primary focus would be the cat, secondary the boss) and develop the initial sketch so that the lines "point", so that you direct the viewers attention. Like here, you've got the missiles pointing at the cat, but you could also have had the boss's claws grasping round the cat, and the whip addding to the composition, say circling round the cat, or making contact with the boss.

Also aim for symmetry, since the axes of the picture can work wonders as well. It's a shame the cat has been nudged away to make room for the rocket on the right.

... that's a huge review! Sorry, but I wanted to give some decent composition advice.

Felis responds:

Lol, huge reviews aren't minded when they're helpful. Thanks!

[Kingfisher]

DIVE DIVE DIVE

Yeah I like it. The bold, striking colours of the king fisher are gorgeous, but the best bit is bubbles and the surface of the water that have been pulled along with its dive. Gorgeous. Great use of brushes for the background, too.

I ~think~ the kingfisher needs some more contrast on the blues. The detail you've got is fine, but I do feel you could have brought it out a bit more.

I'm giving you a 10, though, because it's a great image, and I love it's dynamcism.

J-qb responds:

Thanks for the 10 and review, I guess I could have used abit more contrast in the blues .. especially the second darkest shade could be a tad darker probably..

[I DONT WHANT YOUR BEANS]

TAKE MY BEANS DAMMIT

Review time, hmmm
I like that you've played about with brushes, cos its really given some life to an otherwise plain bg. Hopefully it was quick and painless.
I also like the emphases you made on the text, and the mock perspective on the beans. The face looks similar to a lion's roar, too!

Bit i don't like is that the head doesn't fit with the body, which doesn't fit with the hand, which doesn't fit with the plate ... as though you've drawn everything separately. But I know you don't usually work like that, so there's no need to take much heed.

Oh, and draw circular things like the plate with the circle tool - it avoids the odd distortions you make when you do it free-style.

J-qb responds:

thanks for the review and tips; yeah I probably should use circle tool but It feels like cheating... the background is just some layered textures; hardly any work at all.

Cool job orn, great to see some more traditional media on the front page.
Can't remember when you started this, so how long did it take to make?

ornery responds:

I restarted the whole thing, the first one was all messed up. Overall work time on this one was probably about 16 hours.
