[Trying to be gangster...]

Not bad

I still think it's fascinating to see how you've improved over time with Blender.

I'm going to assume that the background is simply a picture you found? It doesn't look anything like the style of the potato, but it still fits very well, and doesn't look out of place. Really seems to be a part of the piece.

My main problem is that it's not very easy to see that this is a potato. You might want to add some more texture to it, it seems fairly smooth right now. I like how you did the mouth and nose, as well as the eyes. Would love to see a bigger version of this though. Not too sure about the lighting, seems like this wannabe gangster just got spotted by the police or something like that.

The hair is pretty good, apart from the bald spots I see. Still a huge improvement over some of your earlier hair.

Dat coloring

Sick color job on this piece. Love the flow of the image, a bit different from some of your other art. Nicely done shading and lighting as well, and really creative and original.

sucho responds:

different is good

[Skuvari]

Get a scanner :P

No, but really, you should get a scanner, because the quality on this one is really harmed by the fact that this seems to have been taken with a regular camera.

Either way, looks like a cat fused with a bat and Cyclops. Terrifying, IMO. The lineart is pretty good, the ears and wings look like they are different sizes though, want to check in on that. There are some lines from the sketching that should've been erased completely, and there is a slight lack of texture to the head. I suppose it's a hairy face, so there should be some more lines to it.

It sure is original, crossing creatures like this is something people don't do often enough. The result can be pretty hilarious. You could also try coloring it in. You've used a pencil to color in here, which is well done. I also like that you've done some shading on the ears.

Yea, I took this with a cam. I do have a printer scanner but the thing has not worked in years and I actually do plan to buy a scanner/printer very soon so I can upload other art pieces I have done.

Well I looked up something entirely random in middle school and came across that thing. I decided I would draw it as close as I could, the ears and wings did not go as well as planned. Guess I could do a second version of this with colors adding more life to it as well too I guess.

Yea, I guess it could be original. Thanks a plenty for the review though, appreciate it. :-)

[red scorpion]

Well drawn, but very unrealistic

It's a really well-drawn piece, you seem to have some knowledge of anatomy of this style.

I'm really enjoying the coloring and shading on this piece. The shading has multiple gradients, as do the colors. You've also added in lighting, which looks fairly good, and the facial construction is also good. Even the fingers you've made look good, and I know a lot of people have big problems with that.

The background is all right, abstract, I don't know if it's just there to fill in or something else, but it looks good nonetheless, and makes sure the picture doesn't look boring.

My issue is the hard edges and lines, and the fact that there is absolutely no texture to the body. It looks good, but it looks far too plain, and very unrealistic. I'm aware you didn't go for a realistic feel with this piece, it is after all in a style inspired by Japanese/Korean drawings, but even the drawings in such styles have characters that are somewhat flawed.

Rennis5 responds:

i must thank mega-supreme for the anatomy.
i'm not sure what you mean about not having texture on the body.
i explained about the background in coops review,
as for the hard edges i did do another version of this with no line art but it dosn't really look all that good, maybe with a bit more work it would put this one to shame.
I would not say that those characters are flawed because art is whatever you want to make it and exaggeration is key to representing what you want you'r aduience to experience

[Freaky Food]

Wow

I'm really impressed with this piece. Been interesting watching how you've changed, artistically, throughout the months you've been requesting reviews.

Did you make the background as well?

The fruits look really good. Their mouths, teeth and eyes all look very cool in this style, somewhat cartoony. I can still see some lines, but you've smoothed it all out very well. The shadows are a bit unnatural, being so black, but it's easy to see where the lightsource is.

I'm also missing the "stalk" at the top of the pear and apple. They look very much like plastic, unnatural replicas, now, almost too perfect. The texture of fruit is rarely like this, flawless.

PlusPlusKid responds:

to answer the question about the kitchen background, no i didnt make it, that is a post-render image that i edited in, i am aware of the stalk, and i will try to make any fruit in the future less shiny, i have just learned how to make a decent face texture, so expect to see another face with a maybe body :)

[No More Running]

Very well drawn

Your cartoony style is really well done, absolutely impressive character design.

The color palette you've used is perfect for this piece. I love your shading and, as mentioned, character design, especially the facial expression in this one. I don't know the story behind the character though, which could probably change my impression a bit.

That said, it doesn't really look like a void if that's what it's supposed to be. THen again, I have no idea what a void is, but IMO it seems more like a cheap trick not to have to draw a background. Oh well.

The pose does look a bit odd, unnaturally twisting the body like that, like she's running away from something and looking back, but I'm not sure what the setting is.

Aigis responds:

A void is a place where there is nothing.

[Willburt]

Not bad

Really like where you're heading with 3D art, always nice to see someone's skill progress.

However, this is not your best piece. There are some odd lines on his throat and face, and the anatomy is quite off, same goes for the shading. The feet look different as well, like he's wearing uneven shoes or something like that. His hair looks more like a cap or something like that, and there are some hard edges that you still want to work on smoothing out. Other than that it doesn't seem too bad, you have improved on the face with the eyes, nose and ears in your own style, and not looking off at all.

Review Request Club

PlusPlusKid responds:

sorry about the face lines, thought people might not notice them :P

also the shoes looked better in the non-rendered window :P

[The Classic]

Good

It's a good little 3D rendering, but it has ome things you should fix.

For instance, it doesn't look very realistic. Now I know your style is more cartoony, but the texturing on the bun for example looks way off, looks more like sand to be honest. The meat too looks more like a lump of something brown. and the salad looks a bit off. See if you can add some running ketchup, give the meat some more texture, and change the texture on the buns. Also, it has some sharp edges, so you should smooth those out (:

PlusPlusKid responds:

ok thanks :)

[bromo the brony]

Eh

Feels a bit dizzying looking at the texture on this. There's no real depth to it, no shading or lighting, it's just all very flat which is why the texture on the skin is really somewhat dizzying. Concept is okay i guess, though I think this whole brony thing is pretty retarded :|
