[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.

Thanks a lot man :)

[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.
