[{BT} City@Night]

really nice!

I really enjoy looking at this city! my favorite part has to be the shape of the lights. most people think of lights in cities as lots of little pinpricks from individual square windows, however you really captured a more realistic feel with the rectangular windows. Also the colors are really good. the purple and orange lights go together really well. i also like how the water is mostly undefined. there isn't a definitive boundary and, while ordinarily that would be bad, it looks amazing in this picture. the only thing i can find wrong with it is the moon, it seems a little too sharp. I am not sure exactly how you made it, but it looks almost cut out. maybe a bit of blur could help that. other than that though great job!

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks very much! I'll see what I can do about blurring up the moon a bit.

wow!

once again your art is just perfection. I really like this piece especially, because it is not only amazingly detailed and fun to look at, but just looking at it you can tell that you didn't go way overboard. for example the rooftops of the cabins, especially the far ones are the perfect balance between detailed and not. they look realistic without looking photorealistic. i could look at this all day!

AlvinHew responds:

So glad you like it! Thanks for the review.

[Pluto's Revenge]

very nice b movie poster!

sweet concept! i am trying to submit something but cant seem to think of a good enough idea. anyway, back to yours... the only thing i would change if you could would be to maybe change the text to "they told us that pluto wasn't a planet... we never should have believed them." i also really like the font. what font is it? great poster overall!

Aetolon responds:

I prefer my text because it sort off implies that "we were wrong", "inferior" etc, but also because Pluto still wouldn't be a planet, whether they believed it or not.
The name of the font is "Nasalization" btw.

[Samurai Stronghold]

Amazing!

as usual your art blows me away. the line art in this piece is truly amazing! I especially like the animal head on the front. the many windows and roofs on the ship give a feeling of life and busyness to the piece as well as the vibrant colors. the background also is amazing and fits very well with the ship. Well done!

Kamikaye responds:

Hey thanks man :) The animal head was more of a filler first in the sketch but it seems that it worked out well :D

[semy realistic Bitey]

very nice!

the actual model is very good! the skin is shaded very well and the hands are very well modeled and as a 3d animator i really understand how hard that is to get right. the only thing that i could suggest is to use a hair shader on the ground to make grass and also to be carful about the size of your base plane and how it connects to the sky. it is pretty obvious that he is not on a continuous background. other than that great job! i will have to try to make a model of bitey as well he looks like a lot of fun.

Manuel-Dangelo responds:

In fact I didn't even try to fit the base with the back ground. when I make serious renders I tend to affect the ground with a "noise" effect plus adding the green "fur" for the grass. the thing is that all that work for a basic model would be a waste.
Ones I have the bones in place I'll start working on poses, lights and adding some foliage to the behavior so it looks like a real 3D scene.

awesome art!

the blurb and the title combined really makes the drawing that much better. the whole thing is amazing!

zigan responds:

thanks :)

[Larry - Splitted personality]

amazing use of shading on the main dwarf!

love the whole idea of this picture but my favorite part by far is the dwarf in front.

Kamikaye responds:

thx , the idea is on JAZZA though ;)
