soulwithin465 @ Monday, January 18th 2010, 4:13 AM

Kyuubi-Kitsune @ Monday, January 18th 2010, 8:09 AM

Oh good grief, the pants on the ground song is awesome. My family's been singing it nonstop since the episode aired. xD

well, i'll just say that my first tryout is done..FINALLY

(bg from Full Metal Alchemist--the anime)

crits?

(Edited on January 8, 2010, 9:45 pm)

Pav @ Friday, January 8th 2010, 10:34 PM

im not to great with crits but i really love this background its very pretty
one crit is that the fence would put a shadow over the water.
but thats all i can think of right now!
this is really pretty good luck <3

Arf @ Saturday, January 9th 2010, 10:21 AM

=O i totally forgot that!! xD
Thank you!!

Kyuubi-Kitsune @ Saturday, January 9th 2010, 10:47 AM

Yaaay Arfy you're done!!!

Ok so I'm a bit tired and typing on the Wii so I don't really think I'll go into much detail~
The stone wall is just wonderful, very pretty. I do think the buildings in the back are a bit... lacking? Idk, it's probably me, but you got these solid walls of pretty much one color- I dunno if you could've made a pattern or shaded/highlighted them more but uh THAT'S JUST ME, it's not really anything you have to worry about or whatever lol
I do think that the water is off though- water is a clear reflective surface, the reason it's blue is cuz it's reflecting off of the sky. So um the shadows of everything, while still being darker & blueish, should really be similarly colored to the thing that's casting the shadow--I'd give you a link but uh ON THE WII so yeah. I also wish you had broken up the colors of the water (you've got another one of those SOLID WALLS OF PRETTY MUCH ONE COLOR going on again), y'know, making it look more like, er, the water's moving a bit (idk, google search Venice or something). Uh.... sorry for making no sense rmtifdmifhdbr.
One last thing, I don't think Arf's tail should be bending up like that when she's lying down

BUT this is still a lovely tryout and I can't wait to see your next one bby <3333333

Arf @ Saturday, January 9th 2010, 11:05 AM

THANK YOU

i rly like the constructive criticism kyuub<33 And I understand what you're saying completely. I slacked off on the water, partially because I was unsure of how to get the right colors to make the reflection, and also because I'm lazy.(Water is extremely difficult for me in solids.. should've used watercolors.)
OH, and here's what i was using as a ref--I KNOW MINE LOOKS NOT NRLY AS GOOD AS IT http://www.iaza.com/work/100110C/FMA12025416.bmp

once again, thank you so much kyuubi

I'll better myself with what you said

soulwithin465 @ Sunday, January 10th 2010, 3:44 AM

I like the fact that while you did reference this you altered some things to make it your own, specifically the angel and railing. However, I think you could have used that reference more involving the colors and shades of things. Your drawing, while it does show some perspective, still seems rather flat. The stones are grey, water blue, dog brown and the shades and highlights are simply the one color but darker and lighter. But if you look at the reference you?ll see that the stones are more than just grey but have all sorts of shades and colors such as greens, blues, and reds. Also water (no matter where you are) isn?t just solid blue. In fact the colors found in water are mostly created by whatever is being reflected. Nonetheless this is a pretty decent tryout. The image itself is rather interesting and the subject is obviously involved with the background which is excellent! The composition is nice and the atmosphere is quite peaceful which goes well with the subject. Overall this drawing is wonderful! I can?t wait to see what you come up with for your second tryout! Good luck =]

.Psychopath. @ Friday, January 8th 2010, 11:32 PM

tryout. since i never finished my last tryout.. and i believe that i have improved since then..
okay its a crocodile thats suppose to be falling into water. it looks like it's dancing so i added in a little bow tie XD
and yes i know, my backgrounds suckkkkk
but i like the colouring on the croc 8D
timer lies a bit cos i ate dinner.

anyways, any constructive critiques would be appreciated (yes i've already spotted a few things, like the fact that a crocodile's tail most likely cant bend that far. its just that i ran out of canvas space and i didnt wanna resize it and ruin the picture XD and i didnt really do much scaley-ness.. it was hard enough to colour lol )

oh and i referenced from this-
http://www.guzer.com/pictures/alligator_jumps.jpg
looks like its doin a bum drop there.. XD

now i gotta get inspiration for the next tryout XD

Kyuubi-Kitsune @ Saturday, January 9th 2010, 10:20 AM

xD oh geez, the picture you referenced from made me laugh really hard
So first, I gotta say the pattern on the crocodile is just too cool <3
This picture feels very flat. Y'know that artist who makes paper cut-outs of animals? (I can't for the life of me remember his name) This reminds me of his stuff; you seemed to have focused on the patterns and not on the shading. While that style works well in some situations, I really wanna see more depth for your next tryout. Picking a lightsource and shading/highlighting in accordance to it is something you should try to do. I'm also having some trouble figuring out the background: is it water against the sky or water against water? Both ways would be a bit off perspective-wise. And I like the pattern in the water but... it's a bit boring?

idk, I'm tired and rambling.
Good luck on your next tryout!

Anne Dyari @ Saturday, January 9th 2010, 12:57 PM

I can tell you did take time and added gradients to the sky and texture tto the water, but, as stated above, a strong lightsource would dynamically improve this.

Though I do love your choice of composition xD Very cool! We like insteresting tryouts!
Goodluck on your next one!

.Psychopath. @ Saturday, January 9th 2010, 7:03 PM

thank-you very much for the input

yes i agree, my backgrounds are always bland and ugly. i try to make em look half decent buttttt.. i see this one didnt want to turn out XD
i will try adding much more depth next time XD
i've actually already semi got an ideaaa C:

soulwithin465 @ Sunday, January 10th 2010, 3:03 AM

I love you for using a ref! They really can be quite helpful~

I think you could have gone a bit more detailed and distinct with the textures of the scales but the tones and shades you used on the body are good enough that that?s not that big a problem. But yes I do feel a contrast in lights and darks would give this image a POP! I do like the idea you have going on here though. It?s always nice to see a variety of subject matters being used~ Well, good luck! Hope to see a second soon X]

You should be able to retouch as many times as you want! But I personally have trouble with it at times...just make sure you take screen shots regularly~
