when a gun is on a plane this small in comparisson, the recoil pushes the entire ship, because there is nothing that holds it in place.  Recoil within a part of the ship would feel strange i think

this is nice stuff though, id love to see finished

On the other hand, i think this piece would benefit a great deal from a more interesting palette.  This is very nice, but it lacks a certain life that i personally think comes only from mixing and bending light and hue.  I would continue to advocate for at least a better color in the shadows than brown (you could pull a Rembrandt and put in a dark green, which would really throw some life into her.



Basically i chose a blueish green because the overall tone of the piece had been red/orange.  YOu may want to use a different color, but this is color theory at its most basic; complementary colors used near each other will make a piece more dramatic.  it also works for atmospheric perspective if this piece were outside, but something tells me its indoors and so the color of the air is actually the color of the lgihtsource, which is why things tend to look more interesting outside than they do in a windowless room

im rambling.  Basically, this is a technically good piece, but it feels lifeless.  Having another color will probably help this, though which color you pick is more or less up to you (basic color theory is knowing how to use the rules, advanced color theory is knowing when to break them)

except that those are not the original colors at all?  the light ones are.  copy-paste one of the first versions, you will see the differences

snake, those are not the original colors, those are a darker version that neverest started.  Id much prefer to stick to the original lighter version.  Can people please just use MS Paint to avoid this?  theres no reason the colors should ever have changed.  also, if people could look at the thread for updates before posting their tiles, to avoid the 'time machine' problem we have now



that should have all of the colors restored to their original values, but if i made a mistake people should please just correct it.  Also grayed in reserved tiles for myself and snake

not to be a pest, but the new legs look flat still, and stiff too, like bent cardboard.  i much preferred the old legs which had a graceful flow to them.  these look to heavy

that aside i really like the upper portions and i cant wait to see this come out

i took a shot at your lineart, havent done anything with much actual hue shift like this in a while. i had to put yours beside mine because somethings looked a bit cluttered. dont know if it deserves its own topic, i lmyself like it, but hey what does a 14 year old know?

Hey, looks pretty cool, reminds me of Krenkel a bit in the color shoices.  Also, dont put yourself down because of your age; age is seldom a factor (except where it involves life experiences).  in fact, there are a lot of kids that are really good artists.  Im 16, so im somewhere in between the kids and the pros :S

example of krenkel's work:

maybe this all belongs under the collective lineart thread?

sorry, thats not a legal group, groups must come as all 1 color, with every face sharing at least 1 edge

no, its completely intentional, it has a bunch of shark teeth along her left hip and rear.  if i ever animate it they way i plan to, youll see them

perhaps i should curve it though, since your not the first to notice   ::)
