Wowz

Nice pic. Very nice. The detail is incredible. If only it were bigger and had more vertical lenght, it'd fit nicely as a wallpaper.

On to the pic itself. Starting with the background, i loved the dark purple gradient you used, as somehow it seemed to mix perfectly with the foreground picture. I also liked the fact that the background faded to black as it approached the sig. As for the streams of light thingies, i liked the fact that they werent completely solid, but more separate beams. I also liked the helixes spiralling around them, and the white splashes of paint drops which gave the pic some extra cool factor.

Overall, its a fantastic piece, with a great use of the division of thirds to draw the eye to the main section, but with enough detail in the remainder to allow the viewer to enjoy every pixel of the pic. Nice work!

Yeah, I did want this to be used as a wallpaper...kinda of stretched out but it still looks good.

Thanks for the review!
Had to spruce it up, so I added the paint splatters!

I find this review helpful!

Id say that the most detailed part of this is the stitching on the shoe. The realism you put into those areas are amazing, and the different darkness and great use of shading helped to make the shoe 3D-ish.

The lace was also pretty well done, as was the sole of the shoe, with variable shading incorporated into the thickness to help the realism to increase. The one thing id comment on was the foot hole, as this lacked shading and as such gained an almost 2D look which didnt mix in well with the rest of the pic.

As for the rest, its pretty much brilliant. I cant wait to see it when its finished.

Thanks

Not bad...

Starting off with the face, it has a decent amount of detail put into it, and the bold colours served to contrast well with the background and general abstract nature of the rest of the pic, However, i feel that the eyes didnt match well with the face, as while the face was sharp and clear, the eyes were all fuzzy and blurred up.

As for the laser, its pretty decent, with a great use of perspective to help along in making the pic more realistic. I also noticed the fact that the blue particle things didnt follow the helical shape that the white ones did, meaning that while the white particles spiralled around the laser, alternating from front to back, the blue particles seemed to be constantly at the front. Other then that, i liked the realism in the laser, with an interesting use of shading to give it more depth and to not make it look like a big blue line.

Overall, a decent piece of art, with a great background which helped the main image along and decent work on the main image itself.

The eyes were blurred on purpose.

Thanks for the review, and yeah I re-edit the pic, just haven't got around to reposting the fixed picture....but will get around to doing it sooner or later.

Glad u like the realism of the laser!

Nice work...

It looks very well thought out. U used a lot of different colours which contrasted with each other to provide an interesting and non boring piece of art. It definetely looks like it could fit in any rpg game. Well done.

The one thing u could've put in would've been a background as this would definetely help ur cause when it comes to attracting attention. Most people take one look at a pic, see no background, and scoot off to see others taht do have backgrounds. Luckily, i'm not one of those people ;)

Overall, its a good piece of art, which deserves the eight i gave it.

Thanks for the review! Yeah, I wasn't thinking of backgrounds when I did this, but I will be sure to incorporate some into my new pics coming up!

oh dang it...

This picture is pretty good.

=Concept=

Not a bad idea and well portrayed too. You have a good way of turning ideas inot solid art so keep it up. Good work.

=Colour Choice=

Colour choice was good too although i noticed the same thing about the eyes as Coop83 so you might want to change that.

Background didn't contrast enough with the main image so you might want to change that too. But still, not bad work.

=Background=

This is whatu need to work on. it isn't much of a background as it could use more variety.

As i mentioned already, the colour is way too similar to that of Goomba so that is something you might want to work on.

This section is what ur weakest at so work on it and u'll get a better score next time.

=Foreground=

Not a bad work, outlines do need to be thinner though but Goomba was well portrayed,

i especially liked the shadows as they portrayed what u wanted to say very well. Good job at this and keep up the good work.

=Overall=

As i mentioned in the above sections, i really believe that this is a very good piece but work on the negatives i mentioned and it'll be even better.

Cool, thanks. I do think the background should be worked on, but I couldn't think of a floor choice for a Goomba that would describe the setting from this angle better than bricks. Most of the floors in Mario Bros. games are shown from the side with a cross section. The textures don't really have much in the way of overhead details. And a Goomba in a fortress doesn't seem as pitiable. A lot of people seem to want thinner lines too.

Well it's not really much of a pancake. You definetely need to work on improving your ideas and portraying them better.

For one thing, its way too perfect adn circular, a normal pancake needs to be rough and irregular, it's one of the things which make a pancake a pancake.

The butter and syrup look pretty good but still, way too regular and perfect. You need to work on that.

There was no background so tah reduced your score even more. The use of a background is important in pictures like this one, as it provides a more varied and interesting piece of art.

That's basically it, work on this more and you mgiht get a better score next time.

Thanks for the review. Apparently the lack of flaws is one of the biggest flaws, that and no background.
