Title: Various Stuff
Post by: D-bones on August 03, 2010, 04:01:19 am
Hi there, I just discovered this place today and decided I'd share some stuff I've done and I hope to be a productive member of the community.
Anyways, here's my works:

I'm still learning and (hopefully) getting better each day. I'd appreciate any critiques and suggestions on how I can improve.
I hope we can make some great art together!

Welcome!  ;D
It's looks like your capable of a range of styles, and your work definitely shows promise.
However, I'm concerned that you might have a general tendency to leave out large shadow regions.

The best example might be your 'abbadan' rendition. It seems to rely solely on outlines to define his shape when there is a good opportunity to use shadows.

If we pick a light source above, we can create a strong contrast between his underbelly and say, his shoulders. The strong value changes work to differentiate the limbs and the gradual value changes can define the form.

Here's just a quick edit to show you what I'm talking about. Hope this helps.
