These are two awesome pixels, man.
The dog:
I like this, it really has a color woodblock print feel to it, especially from color choice and line use. I just kind of circled where I though you could maybe smooth out a bit--the front leg, I guess is debatable, whether you are trying to show muscle there or not--but the back leg feels much to straight and harsh...the lines kind of lose their flow there. I also want to say good job getting a fur texture without over doing it.
The scarf:
Your subtle use of vertical lines makes this piece really fucking cool--I'm not sure if you did so on purpose or subconsciously, but it gives it a rhythm for the curvy lines to contrast...a feature that a lot of Japanese color woodblock prints actually have (though it's more a background-foreground thing, but still). So, the blue lines are there to show that, not to shun it
. The red circles are where it looks blurry, almost AAed for the sake of AAing, not so much the top circle, but the bottom one for sure. The greenish circle is where I think you could make look a little more curved....I donno, just feels way too straight, or AAed wrong at the moment.
As far as colors go on this one; I almost think the shade color is too light..but I guess this lightness gives it its ethereal, elegant feel.
I really like these--I especially love the scarf...I saved it like 10 times
. Great work man. Can't wait to see more from you!
