a passtime in picture format

Hey hey,

I really like the prom dress one. If you actually get it made you'll have to post some photos.

Also, we should get some sort of art battle going again. Although somebody else should head it up aside from me this time. With school being so busy, I just don't have the time to devote to something like that anymore.

Glad to see you're keeping your skills up. Pretty pictures as always!

Most amazing jew boots

Ah, you're right. Silly Me. Although I was hoping for a photo of you wearing the dress.

Your photography looks sharp. How many soldier sculptures are in that field? That's wild!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How sweet of you! You look so pretty too, even with your tongue stuck out. Hope prom was fun.

Ok, down to business if you wanna crit from Me.

The Yuna one: They've got a point about the proportions. The face is really pretty and well done, but the body is too small for it. Look how wide it is in comparison to the waist as well as the height. Measure out how many heads tall she is. In the pic it looks like she's about 5 when she should be closer to 6 or 7. Beautiful line weight though and nice detail on the face.

Crosshatch: this one is great. the only thing i'd say is to go darker so you have a wider range of value. I used to do the same thing, (only using about 4 different values) but if you go ahead make your dark areas darker, you'll really get the image to pop more. Then again, it could just be the scan. Sometimes my scanner has a tendency to wash out my stuff now and then.

5min pose: this is awesome for a 5 min pose in that you actually started on the hands and did the face. so many people skip out on the hands and face (i know I do a lot of times) and it makes gestures look amateurish. But this one is awesome. The only thing I'd recommend is to start to get away from the sketchy furry lines and start laying down lines with more confidence. You've obviously got the talent, so take it to the next level by just committing to a line and nailing it first time. It's super frustrating at first, but eventually it starts coming together and you can lay out some awesome stuff very quickly. Keep the line weight varied complimentary to your light source.

The rose woman: the hair on this one is great. the value contrast is awesome there. you'll wanna vary the line weight on the arms to get them to pop a little more. The eyes on this one are kinda tricky. I keep looking at them and there's something creeping me out. I think what it is, is that the eye on the right side of the page is a little too high. The eyes look placed on the face as though it were a box instead of rounded. so to put the eyes in perspective, they should be placed on the curved plane of the face.... if that makes any kind of sense. If not, just be like, "Gelf you don't know what the hell you're talking about, and I think it looks cool."

Great work as always.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
