[Stitches The Butler]

Looks like great practice

Hello again!

You truly seem to be improving, but the main issue is still the same, the fact that the head has some unnatural sharp edges. It really throws of the realism.

You did the eyes well on this one, but I think you should do something about the monocle, if that's what it is. It's the same color as the background, whereas I'm pretty sure it should be see-through. The eyes other than that look good, though you might want to work on adding eyebrows.

Not sure about the ear, but I liked the moustache. It suits the style you're going for. Ear on the other hand looks very unnatural and out-of-place.

THe lighting is also somewhat off, giving the head a glossy look, whichseems quite unnatural.

You should probably be focusing on the lighting in your next piece, make it look natural, and with the shading. That actually adds a whole lot to a piece like this.

[Super Creep]

Whack

Actually thought this was some sort of clay sculpture at first glance. I guess that's a good thing.

3D art is pretty tricky to make, but I'd say you did a pretty good job on this one. It looks somewhat realistic, in that i looks like a clay sculpture. The dude really looks like a creep, your personal style really enhances that pretty well, so does your coloring.

Main issue is that there are still a couple too many sharp edges on this model. The lighting also looks somewhat unrealistic and unnatural. IF you can smoothen those out, you're in for a pretty good grade here.

PlusPlusKid responds:

yeah, I am still trying to figure out a way for the sharp edges to be gone, but the lighting is an easy fix :)

Some issues

I don't dislike the cartoony style you have, it's not bad at all and this could easily fit into an animation of sorts, but there are some major issues with the piece.

First off, the color quality. You need to play more with the colors. These are quite bland, and the quality of them are not very good. You can see lots of pixels in the picture, which should not be there at all in 3D styles like this.

The eyes are maybe the only thing about the actual art I really don't like. It looks like the man lacks eye lids. Eyes are bulging quite a lot, looks like they could simple roll out of the sockets at any time.

The quality of the picture in general is also problematic, considering the fact that I can easily see a lot of pixels.

But, as I said, I do enjoy the style, and I'm pretty sure that with some practice, you can get some really good-looking 3D models out there.

[Chubby white seal]

Very cute, very simple

I don't think I'll be able to write a long detailed review on this, but I can at least write down what I think of it.

For a 3D Model, it doesn't look very 3D. I'm guessing you're using a very simple program?

The texture on the seal makes it look like paper mache. You might want to change that.

I do like the kawaii style of the seal, though. The oversized head compared to the body. It does look a tad sad for kawaii, though.

Shading too looks good, though the skin texture does make it look a tad weird. Not saying it should be completely smooth, just not as rough as it is.

Not really sure what else to say. These are just models, so it's not very easy to make out a detailed review.

It's cute tho :>

Asandir responds:

Yes, it is made with Sculptris, which is pretty easy to use.

Well, I wanted to make it look like a plushie with the texture, but it looks indeed more like paper mache.

Thank you for the review, it is a very good one!

[feelgood hit of the summer]

Earned it

Gotta say, you really earned that prize. This is absolutely the coolest poster of them all. It has it all. Colours, cool characters, and an awesome name.

thanks!

[Doubles13- First Contact]

Ominous

What an amazing piece. I usually don't like handing out 10's, but I can't find anything I don't like about this one.

It's a very dark piece, which I can really enjoy. It's not that there's a lot of black, but that the colours used are darkened. The lasers provide a contrast, which enhances the feeling of darkness. Shit is going down, absolutely.

You've coloured somewhat outside the edges, if you enlarge the piece. I can't really give you a plus nor a minus for this, because I can't decide whether I like it or not. The lines are smooth, nothing feels choppy or uneven.

I don't really see too many people here, though. There should be some running out on the streets, panicking. I get that this might've been a surprise attack, but seeing the havoc they've already done, people should be reacting.

Overall a great piece. It feels good, it looks professional. I love it.

Thanks so much for the great feedback, it's greatly appreciated. I'm starting to think that the chaos is the only thing missing for this to become an amazing piece instead of a great piece.

[Gone with the Wind]

Far too dark

With such a full moon and lightning strikes, even a night would be pretty bright.

Unless it's an evil tornado of doom that sucks light, or a black hole hidden inside a tornado, I can't seem to figure out why it's so dark. Sure, it's late at night, and sure, it might be a winter month where it's extra dark at night, but you put in a full moon and a lightning strike, which should make it a very bright night.

Then again, the darkness makes the piece all the more eerie. And scary. The farm house seems to be well done. It looks somewhat glossy, for some reason, like it's shining. I can get that from rain, with the moon shining on it, but again with the darkness. Either way, I also like how you've shown the destruction of the farm house. It's not completely gone, but it soon enough will be.

The addition of the tractor on the right makes it even better, showing that it's a powerful tornado.

The ground looks a bit boring as well, somewhat unnatural.

If you were to tell me that the tornado also was... a black hole, I'd totally buy that.

MCarsten responds:

Well my only intention for the true darkness was for something really doomed, was not to be a realistic perfection of the nature. Also just a curiosity, tornadoes doesn't exist on winter, they are just only on fall and spring, just sometimes they show more early hehe. Thanks for the review!

[me in chibi]

Kewt

It's a really cute peice, that's for sure, but it's not too chibi.

Let's see if I can explain what I mean:
Seeing as this is supposed to be a chibi, it could be a bit cuter. Chibis often have larger eyes and heads in proportion to their body, though it's not necessary of course. Eyes should have more of a shine, and the ones on this one looks more evil than cute, due to them being completely black. The character also looks like he's in shock.

Still, it looks really professional. You've done really good with the shading and the shine from the lights, and it's not hard to tell where the source of the light is. I also really like the detail you've used on it, especially on the mouth. Looks quite good.

Other than that, I haven't much to say. It's a bit simple, only, and not cute enough, but it's still a very good piece.

[Late At Night...]

Looks like something I could do.

A really cool drawing. Your personal style really shines through on this one.

It does look a bit rushed, even for your style, maybe you should've given yourself another two minutes on it. Anyway, on to the review:

I'd like to say there is a lot of detail here, in a relative perspective, of course. You've got books, a computer, your desk, chair and some shelves, and you can even see where the floor ends and wall starts, which I've had problems doing in some of your other pieces.

Again, I love your use of colours. I'd guess you used blue for a base and then painted on top of that, with different shades of the colours. I really like the colouring done on the wall, though I have to admit that there is a bit too much overflow on this one.

The character, I'm guessing it's you, looks really tired. Seems like he's holding a pen in his left hand, but I might be wrong. It doesn't really look like he's sitting, but that the chair is painted on him. His head also looks like you're in the Exorcist, Turned 180 degrees. Looks somewhat unnatural. There's also some transparency where I can see the shape of the computer, which you probably should do something about that.

Other than that, I like the feel of the picture. Even though you look tired and it's supposed to be late at night, your paintings always make me feel happy. Maybe you could add a window showing that it's late at night (Dark sky, stars, moon?) to this one?

this is a real thing of my room...no windows exepct behind me, also i laughed at this bit: "His head also looks like you're in the Exorcist" ummm what else can i say...that pen is a bamboo tablet pen

[Surprise]

It's not bad

Not your best piece, but it's still not bad, and pretty fun. As always.

Your style is great, and I love the colours. I also like how it seems like you tried to do some shading, but that might just be due to your overflowing colour-style, or the transparency.

About that, you should not have the transparency so high. Right now I can see the brick wall through the robber, and it doesn't look very good. The wall also looks out-of-place, as it doesn't look much like your style.

His face doesn't look too surprised, and he looks sort of innocent, which makes me wonder if he really is a robber or just mistaken for one. Either way I like the way you did his face and hair.

Also, maybe add a shadow? Seeing as the light is pointed at him?
