Image 1:

A very well done tag at the most, but the top left corner is to distracting, i believe if you moved the brightness behind the head of the render it would bring out more of a focal. The text in the bottom right is also a bit distracting, but with a little smuding it could really blend well. I see no harm in the the top right text, but you may want to raise the size so it sticks out a little more. the colors of the render (especially the black) do not seem to blend well with the Background. all-in-all, this is a good tag, none the less.


Image 2:

The first thing i notice is that the fonts are different. That alone can just about ruin a tag. the second is that this seems to have no real focal whatsoever so it just lets my mind wander. as I said previously, the text "pyronix" could be raised in size by a little to bring it out more. the thing I love most about this LP is the beams coming out of the holes, the pure genius idea there was amazing. I believe this is a good tag as well.

Really nice image, though the text in it is a little hard to see, and I'm not sure what the background is supposed to be. is he skidding on something? However, nice use of contrast and special affects. It really brings it together!

Image 2
Really good depth in there, and though cleverly added in, the words can be hard for some people to pick out. Nice work spriting the skateboard, though I can soo tell it's one of those small toy ones (yeah, my bro has one :P). Good blur on the skateboard, though that may just be the natural camera focusing watchmajiggy. The skateboard really stands out, and depending on your point of view, it could be in either a good or bad way. Perhaps the skateboard could be transferred to a cartoon one, and just be lonely on a cartoon skateboard ramp with all your current effects as the night sky. Epic job, though!

Image 1
Nice work here. The quality of the GFX is high and the colours are nicely defined. The text suits the general theme fairly well, although I personally do not think the placement to be particularly effective. In addition, "A Pyronix Production" requires too much straining to read. The c4ds are overused to the point where they create multiple focal points, which can be a really negative feature. I also think the reflection could do with some touching up upon. The reflection itself isn’t an overused theme in signatures, and I like the fact you're not going with the flow. I just feel as though it ends abruptly, as though it starts to fade and then someone ran an eraser along the bottom. Overall though, good job.

Image 2
This is another great piece, although personally I do not like it as much as the first. The first thing that sprung out at me about this piece was that the brushing seems fairly blurry. However, upon closer inspection I can make out some pixelation already occurring, so I understand why you didn't risk oversharpening it. The text: “Kaotic Toxic Hazard” is nicely blended, although it also looks a bit off centered to me. The main issue I have with this graphic is the word “Pyronix” in the bottom right corner. It stands out and I can see it is there, but it’s too small to actually be read without straining my eyes.

CC

Image 1
Great work. I like how the image has depth and the beams of light are coming off at different angles, it adds some "realness" to the image. My main concern is with the text, the placement of "Toxic Hazard" does feel rather off-centre and does imbalance the overall image.


Image 2
It's a well proportioned image. I like how you've not made the design too elaborate and letting minor details like clothing creases and the roles light and shadow in the image give it depth. The image could do with a little cleanup to remove some of the pencil lines but is overall it is an excellent piece.

This is a really nice piece but due to the transparency of the reflection when placed on a white background it looks too faded. But as soon as I saw it on a different background it was fine. The problem with this is that you can not really tell what the image is supposed to be, this is due to the light that catches your eye and distracts you from the main picture. Because the C4Ds are the same colours as the rest of it it all blends into one image really. And to be honest I think this would look better making it into a background.



I am quite doubtful about this piece because it is too similar and has no really lighting or source. If you look at the persons face there is light coming from down, I would have put maybe a light source in his hands like an orb of energy. I don't really like the lines going across his arm, I think the image would look better with some sort of other depth effect. Maybe having a different background would help. This is because the background is a lot the same as the other effects and it lacks lots of different effect.


Thanks I hope that this is okay

You know, this is probably one of the lamest attempts at plagiarism that I've seen in a while. Either that, or your presentation is very unfortunate in that it makes it look like plagiarized material. Until I have substancial evidence that this is indeed your work, I'm not going to approve this.

Try Again - With your *own* work.

Ampy34 has been caught stealing an armor he posted on his Twitpic account.

This armor was posted from an artist on Gamespot, and appears to have the artist logo on the bottom left corner, which is clearly not Ampy34's signature.

With all of the billions of images on the internet, it would obviously be difficult to find the other two plagiarized images; But it's very clear that they were stolen due to the low quality of the images and signature on the Deathknight sketch.

... May this be a lesson to anyone in the Art Village that plagiarism has a 0% Tolerance. If you try to steal art,
you will be caught.

Hi Drakt,
I like your work, it has a unique style to it and not to mention your Pencil-Chibi looks fantastic.

One thing I would suggest, however, is saving your images as .Png file. This will make your images looks alot sharper as well as giving you the option of a transparent background. Your CC looks good besides the occasional grammar errors. Welcome to the gallery!

First of all, some of my work:

Moglin Edit
My TwitPic is full of edits like this

Sword Girl
The only drawing I've scanned in at the moment, it was drawed during a boring German lesson...
One of my friends (the one that likes my hair, if you've read my blog), thought the elbow looked odd, and then she destroyed it >.>

Programs I use:
Real life pencil - Approx 10 years
Paint.NET - Approx 1 year
Flash CS4 - ½ day ( got it this morning :D )


And the CC:

CC Image 1
Great armor and background.
The sun makes a good light on the cape and the lower part of the character, but his right arm could be a little less light, that would make it easier to see where the focus is. Also, those rings that comes from the sun, can't remember what they're called (solar flaw?), is kinda misplaced, normally they would be in a straight line coming from the sun.

CC Image 2
I chose this as a challenge, 'cause it's hard to give critism to something you really like.
And because I like it I have saved it to my computer :)
If I should say something that could be improved, that would be removing the white triangle from her chin, it doesn't really connect to any of her other clothes and looks out-of-place.
Another thing I notice is the dagger; it's rotation on the y-axis doesn't seem right. By looking at the position, it looks as it's supposed to be at the front of her, like at the front of the belt. But the rotation (or lack of it) makes it look as a weapon that would be on the side of her body.


I hope it's acceptable, if not, please inform me :)

I like your edits, your drawing is pretty good too. Nice CC as well.

I like this image, it's very well done but I have trouble reading the writing in the corner, it's a bit blurry, also the guns, you are missing quite a lot of detail because of the blur, the rest of it is great, I would just like to see more detail on the guns.

https://2img.net/h/i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/Pyronix15/Baseballintotennisballcopy.jpg

I really like the transition effect, it really shows good control, however the speed lines (is that what they are?) are too solid for the picture I feel they should thin off at the end or fade out, I feel that completely solid speed lines spoil the overall effect of this otherwise brilliant piece.

Well, now I wait I guess :/

This image is rather attractive, but there are many issues. One issue is the motion of the piece is hard to understand, and me not understanding the sport, cannot understand if he hit the ball upwards, or away from him. Another issue is that I cannot understand which parts of the body apply to which of the two sequences, making it even harder to comprehend. The balls really do make up for the empty space that is presented. A suggestion would be to offcenter the player and make the motion clearer.

https://2img.net/h/i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/Pyronix15/Tenissswingcopy.jpg
A much better show of motion, as I can better understand where the ball is coming from. The five arms present do not seem to go well with the two sequences of motion shown. The ball itself shows inconsisity on where the lines are located, as when it is hit the lines are not where they should be. Again, with no knowledge of the sport, I would not know if this is intentional.

Amazing work, and equally as good CC. Approved!

constructive criticism*

Image 1 drawn
This is a really good example of shading and control of proportional movement, the artist takes into consideration the limitations of his figure and how close up objects appear to farther away ones in color and size. One thing id like to change would be the decoration of the knife the young girl in this picture is sporting, I think how the rest of the picture is well detailed it isn’t as intricate and it off balances it a lil.

Image 2 drawn
This is a interesting hand drawn picture though I find it lacking a lil bit in flow of movement even for a cartoon style picture, especially the way the background woman’s hand bends as it hits a oncoming tennis ball, I’ve never seen someone use a tennis racket like that but that’s my opinion, I’m no expert. But I do like that you can tell a lil bit of the distance how one in the back grounds colors are just slightly more faded then the closer one.

Your art is interesting, you may need to work on your grammar a little, but the constructive criticism is nice and informative. Approved! ~A

This drawing recieves my rating of 3/10.
*add a baseball court as a backround (maybe a photo)
*add a couple of shades, and change the outfits color to a more lively one, maybe red and dark grey and add more color to the skin.
*add more deatils to the bat and make it bigger, since the actual one is too small.
*make the movement lines more defined
*and last but not least, redo the eyes so that they look more human (color the iris and change the rest to white)

Constructive crit.
Picture 1.
Her waist seems rather thin and her head also looks large. The shading is pleasant enough, but the shine on her chest is rather distracting. This picture is quite good, if the proportions were fixed, as in making the waist a little wider, her left shoulder and head a bit smaller, it would be even better. The sketchy look doesn't really blend so well with the smooth coloring. May I be so bold as to suggest smooth lines to better complement the colors?

Picture 2.
The girl at the back appears to have short legs and a hand that's much too large. The rackets held by both the players seem rather on the small side. Making the handle longer may help in the proportion of the equipment.

Although the action of hitting the tennis ball is depicted clearly enough, the arm swinging the racket could have had a blurry effect instead of a solid color, just to convey the speed at which she's hitting the ball. The girls seem to be crowding into each other since there's a lack of perspective in this one. Overall, this picture is lively, but could use some work on proportions.

Fairly good CC, could do a little better on telling the artist whats good about the art, good work on the pieces, they have nice color and position.

CC 2Well i think theres not enough colors only really different shades of black and green it would look better if the hazmat symbol was not green maybe yellow and if the words had a yellow glow on them so you can read them better overall its a good graphic though but id try yellow hazmat symbol if it was mine.

Very interesting concept, however the starting pose's hands seem a little bigger than the others, likewise its foot blends in with the sock of the final position, what I would recommend only having the final postion as a solid and increase contrast on the the first postions to give a better feeling of movement as well as fix the hands and the foot.

https://2img.net/h/i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/Pyronix15/Baseballhomeruncopy.jpg
Im confused here, all I see is a big mess of arms, legs and heads, likewise, the bat seems to have dissapeared in the point where the batter hit the ball and the arm in the final postion is missing, likewise I cant seem to understand where the ball is coming from. A solution would be to increase contrast on all the positions but the last, the starting being the brightest, second darker and so forth as to provide the feeling of movement, likewise it would be nice if the poor guy could have a bat and an arm back´.

Is very good but seems a bit loud. Also the flashes seem a bit out of place. The background has some parts that could use improving such as the shading and the colors. Adding maybe some reds or lighter blues is what I suggest. I notice the focus on cool colors and green should probably have somemore BLUE on it then

https://2img.net/h/i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/Pyronix15/Baseballhomeruncopy.jpg
Nice mix of colors. The helmet seem to shift just a bit and the "h" changes from boxy to curved. Also from what I can tell the proportions of the muscles on the right arm increase and then decrease. I would add some shading on the uniform and maybe some marks of wear and tear on the bat. I like the way you can see the movements and the motions. The color of red was a good choice

I think the drawings show potential, you need to work on your proportions though, before I can improve, you need to expand on the CC. Go into more detail on the picture's pros and cons. ~Icey

Example 1
Example 2
Program(s) you use: I use Corel Painter X
Medium (What you do most of) I'm an artist. I draw my OCs, mostly Alanza (myself), but it seems I'm starting to develop a love for making signatures/banners.
*Experience: I haven't been to Art college yet, but am planning to in the future. I learned to use PhotoShop in a subject called Studio Arts in year 11 High School. Last year I was taught how to use a similar program by the name of Corel Painter X and I've been using it ever since. I'm a self-taught artist.

Give Constructive Criticism on the following images:

Image 1
As I always say with my art, editing mostly, is 'Too many cooks spoil the broth'.
It's a handy lesson to use, and I believe it applies to this image. Using too many words in one piece can make it look, oh I don't know, uneven in a way.
I think just having 'Kaotic' without 'Toxic' or 'Hazard' would turn out much nicer. It looks a bit too cluttered, in my opinion. But it's not all negative! First glance, it's an amazing image! I love the font of choice, it goes well with the scheme.

Image 2
for the most part, I love it. Although even when I look closely, it's hard to point out what it is. I'm guessing that's a creature in the background? I would say bring the creature out a bit more, as in more clearer, perhaps an outline at least so it's recognisable*. Believe me, it is a great pic, but it's kinda hard to identify it with everything going on in the image. I'm asking myself, "What is what? Is that a tentacle or what is it?". Still a great image. ^^ I must say, Pyronix's work is great.
* Australian spelling. xD

Approved! Not much to say here, your pieces look good and your CC is excellent. My only suggestion would to be pay a little more attention to detail on your drawings. Unless if your going for the particular style, the example you provided seems a little 'flat' to me.

Thank you V. :) The flat one I did on Paint. xD I only have one drawing that I've done on Corel so far but I don't know what people would think of it. It's not mature or offending, I'm just not sure if people will like it. The art I reckon is good though, generally. :)
Oh and I forgot to mention: When MS Paint was my program, my second example pic was the style at the time, but it's changed now since using Corel. :D

Im guessing nobody saw my first post since I never got a response on it. I also decided to go with some of my better art...

Example 1: http://twitpic.com/13s9pg Example 2: http://twitpic.com/zwj46
Program(s) you use: Pencil, Pastels, Pens, Paint, Photoshop
Medium (What you do most of) I Doodle a lot of times and have a sketch book filled with weapons. I also like to draw with pastels but dont do that so often, likewise I am pretty good at spriting.
*Experience: Lots and Lots of years of drawing (my estimate is 14), Spriting for about a year

Very interesting concept, however the starting pose's hands seem a little bigger than the others, likewise its foot blends in with the sock of the final position, what I would recommend only having the final postion as a solid and increase contrast on the the first postions to give a better feeling of movement as well as fix the hands and the foot.

Im confused here, all I see is a big mess of arms, legs and heads, likewise, the bat seems to have dissapeared in the point where the batter hit the ball and the arm in the final postion is missing, likewise I cant seem to understand where the ball is coming from. A solution would be to increase contrast on all the positions but the last, the starting being the brightest, second darker and so forth as to provide the feeling of movement, likewise it would be nice if the poor guy could have a bat and an arm back´..

I like the sowwy pic ^.^, The CC looks good too, it points out the problem with out being too harsh. I think this is a good application, sorry for not noticing the first time.

First thing to say would be that there is too little going on. What you have looks something like a tentacle spaceship, what I am saying is that it is too hard to see what is happening to actually appreciate it. I suggest that you dim the lens flare/light things and enlarge your focal to draw a viewer's attention. The text doesn't fit either but I am no good with that so I have no suggestions. Other than those few things this a pretty decent tag. It has good effects and has a bit of depth and color balance. Good Job!

I would have to admit, this is the best of the CC tags provided. The depth is good, the lighting is exceptional, the sharpening of the focal to bring
out wad done well. Even the text doesn't stick out awkwardly like the othe one did when it is overlayed/put on low opacity. The single thing that put me off was the completely visible bubbles. If you have seen a real bubble you notice that they are transparent, I suggest doing the same thing here by putting the bubble layer on overlay or addition.

Approved.

I like your style, and your CC is great.
