One last piece for my portfolio. Now to get a shitton of life drawing done for it. :V

Any suggestions/critique on this? I feel like something's off.

~TheGreatMazzu Apr 20, 2012 Student General Artist

The shading is excellent and the character design is of your usual quality (really good). If I had to make any critique, though, I'd say that the line art still looks a little rough, so I would have gone in and made some new, crisp lines over what you have. Also, I see where you have the light spots on the floor and the walls and how they eventually fade into shadows... I would suggest seeing how a little more realistic blending of the lighting and the shadows would work for the picture.

Mind you, I don't know how much of my critique was pointing out stuff that was supposed to be intentional in your piece... but if you still have the linework, maybe try experimenting with thicker, crisp lines and more realistic shading.

You should also totally post some of your life drawings... I need to know what to expect when I start at SCAD this fall.

Hell yeah, so excited to hear you're finally coming to SCAD

Wonder if we'll run into each other. Yeah, I plan to scan some old life drawings soon for a portfolio anyway so there will be some soon.

Thanks for the critique!

the thickness of the legs threw me off, it feels they don't support the position he is but I think that's more a realistic view of things. Other then that it's really impressive with shadows, color and expression really shows he discovered something big.

I feel like the light is expanding itself more on the creature than it should. Unless that object is really really bright I'm not sure the upper half of him should be lit up as much as it is. Otherwise, I really like the design and the premise of the entire scene.

I love the character but the background just isn't quite where the character is. I think folks are on the right track. You have this great scratchy black line on the creature, but not anywhere else in the image. There's scratchiness but not the dark contour-look. It makes it rather disjointed. It looks like a meeting of two styles, but not necessarily a meshing.

In my opinion, you don't really get a strong sense of where this is located. It appears as though it is a cave, but there is no depth or distinguishing details that makes it look like so. The background is very flat, color and value wise.

whoa.. I love this. I totes love this.
The shading doesn't seem quite even, it should probably get brighter exponentially as he gets close to the orb, with his fingers positively glowing from it, while his chest shouldn't be nearly as bright as his face since it's further away, the lower stomach should be nearly matching the feet right?
Oh and I LOVE this design.. weird donkey monkey ... lizard.. kobold? I love it. and I love glowing orbs in caves. I will never not love those.

I think the only thing that kinda looks a bit off is the shading, I feel it should be softer, mostly on the background, though. Just my two cents.

Other than that, it's very good!
