[Color Study]

the wispy hair, the translucent glowing edges, the reflected shoulder glowing on the face, her facial expression, the subtle curves, im in love.

[Elk's Deathwing]

This is... I... uh...5

[alien dorg]

beam me up, a scotty? I think the snout is great. the eyes are good, but it does not look finished. its a real good start though.

[Hulk]

I like the musculature, the shading, etc. that's all great. I am not a big fan of the chaotic scribbling penwork. also the face should be much more emotive. its not much of a furious expression. its kind of a sad scowl. like karl urban in Dredd. it is very well executed though.

Demp responds:

Thanks for the advice man, will have in mind :)

[Rick and Morty Season 2]

I only looked because of Mr. Meeseeks. this is quite good. love the coloring and shading its like something they would put out themselves to promote it. you even nailed the mortys suggestively seductive lips and those squiggly little pupils.

IceBreak23 responds:

thanks :)

[Flash]

excellent. glad to know the Noid finally got his shit together and made something of his life.

[Super Meat Boy]

excellent, despite the absence of Dr. Fetus and an extra Meat boy. it looks like you painted past the edges and used the eraser to trim it. ive been experimenting with that technique on clouds and things. love the teeth and eyes too.

deathink responds:

Thanks a lot man :)

[Star Eater Dark Alt]

to quote Texas Ranger Bobby from Talladega Nights- "I don't even know what that is but I love it!" is it water color? I like the subtle warping distortion around what I assume is a black hole.

[Fallen Kingdom]

its like bob ross with some "happy little ruins" right over here. excellent

[The Tough Truth]

this is quite excellent. I don't really understand the placement and orientation of the shoulder in front of everything with the face so straight on but that in no way deserves points off and is easily counteracted by the 9 out of 5 star work you did on the face, particularly the mouth. and ears. and eyes. and nose. how long did this take? were you using a photo as a reference?

RussFairchild responds:

Why thank you! And that's funny, the main thing that is bothering me about this too is the freakin shoulder lol. In the concept of it, it was more meshed in with the fur and the neck, and it actually looked like a wolf walking towards you, but then i put a dark shadow on everything lower of the face, to push the face forward. But for some reason, i brightened the shoulder back up, losing the wolf feel and getting a werewolf feel. I used several images as reference, mostly for the fur, and how it rolled over the wrinkles and muscles. Thank you for the critique though, I was waiting for someone to notice, besides my roommate lol.
