[Warframe - Ivara]

Real good job, mate.
Thanks alot! :)

Syrupmasterz responds:

You're welcome. :P

[Elder Thing]

Has something lovecraftian about it. Love it.

ThePsychoSheep responds:

Thanks!It is actually lovecraftian since it's the Elder Thing from "At the mountains of Madness"

[Mut]

Great job.
Love the overall rought feel you gave Mut and the ambient light sets the tone very well.

I'm just wondering if perhaps the theme of transformation could have been incorporated more. Drawing god figures always opens up many design possibilities to go nuts with. Especially when given a theme you can create very stiking designs.

I suggest to check out Mohrbachers Angelarium artworks, especially the "Tree of Life" series. It is an excelent example of what I am talking about in regards of design.

Xephio responds:

Funny you mentioned Mohrbachers, its namely a huge inspiration for these.
I'll admit I gave him the theme Transformation a bit randomly and didnt really design him based on it.
Initially i was gonna give him the theme of Insanity but I didnt think it'd quite fit with the rest.
Thanks a bunch though, ill study the tree of life series a bit more

[Sample Comic Page]

An interesting comic idea, Ill give you that.

The inking seems ok, but it would benefit from a bit of line variety (having thicker and thinner lines).
The shading with the dissortion tool seems like a nice stylistic idea, but IMO it should be used in moderation. It tends to take away quite alot of platicity from the picture if overused. My advice would be to use the dissort-shading to reinforce the insane images the protagonist sees. Use normal shading everywhere else.
That aside, the overal style that you seem to pursue fits very well to the tone of your story (jugding by this page alone).

The core for a good story and comic is given here, though. I'm interested to see where this is going.

InsufferableCrap responds:

I really like that idea! Originally I made this quite a while ago so my shading with distortion kind of fell through while making Horrorshow (my current running webcomic). But I would like to revisit this little page and give it a nice redraw some time with a good variety on the lines and shading techniques. Thanks!

[Palladium 2.0]

The Bandages are sweet, but the shape of the body gets kinda lost in them. Try to warp the mandages acording to what they are covering.
Pretty good nontheless. You got the "insane" part of her character very well.

Quixote87 responds:

Thanks for the feed back I'm glad her insanity/mental instability came across, and I will definitely work on the bandages not muffling up her shape the next time I draw her!! :D

[Malines]

This is incredible.

wartynewt responds:

Thank you! :)

[Demon]

Became really cool.
Was a good idea playing around with all the orange tones. Gives it an "infernal" vibe.

Rhunyc responds:

Thanks man, and I agree with ya. <:

[Speedpaint compilation]

Really awesome. The way you used lighting is incredible. Makes me want to start doing speedpaintings again :D

wartynewt responds:

Thank you! Go for it! :D

[Dark Souls]

I had a relatively hard time making out what is what. It's mostly because there isn't much use of contrast, turning the image to a grey mass. Stronger shadows would have been nice. Not necessarily in the extend of "Revelations", but just more. It would have given the picture more depth and details of the environment and character would become clearer.

Nontheless, the linework is incredible. It looks like you put alot of time and sweat into it.
My respect for that. Definetly keep doing what you doing.

JPJPJP responds:

I appreciate the review. Completely agree with what you said. The background looks like a mess, but I guess after drawing the character in the middle, drawing the rest was just a grind. I am definitely glad I changed my mind on the size of this piece, I originally wanted to draw a lot more background, make the whole scene wider. It was taking waaay to long.
I will definitely work on more contrast for my next work. Again, thank you for the review!

[Scrooge McParody Avatar]

Pretty sweet. I like that you colored the outlines, giving the image a smoother look and creating a border between back- and foreground. It's pretty hard to make out what you are trying to swin im, however. Is is comics, unreasonably large bank notes or cloth ?
Still a good work. Definetly an improvement and I'd like to see where your future works will be going.

leakyduck responds:

Have i told you that i dig your reviews buddy? thanks for the input yeah those are supposed to be comics that are bagged and boarded, and there is a lot more i could do to make them a little clearer. i'll have to keep that in mind when i do more of this stuff.
