Artist's Comments

Pencils, ink on Bristol Board, and my first colour piece done with my new Wacom tablet in Photoshop. :)

All art by me.

Critiques


:icontemiel:
Well, this is just super =) I mean, you're obviously a professional in your field, so I figured I'd leap on the opportunity to say something substantive about it.

The placement of the dinosaur between the two figures is excellent composition, of course, since it allows for an interesting negative space. The figures are spot-on and have excellent anatomy, plus they're just hot to boot (particularly Rogue, she looks like an ultimate comic babe here). The color is great, and the setting is imaginative and fun.

I will admit to being a little bemused by two things: the disappearance of Storm's feet (I think I might see them there, but they really disappear into the background) and the position of the pterodactyl--the hanging vine is right in front of its head. It recedes into the background in such a way that it's not visually bothersome, but I do wonder if it looked distracting in the ink before you dropped it back digitally. Honestly, these aren't really complaints or suggestions, but rather questions from someone who aspires to do this kind of thing to someone who's high above her level--why that positioning rather than something different? Was it just part of an organic process, or was it planned?

This is excellent. Your babes and your scenery are a great representation of the skill level I wish I was at artistically, and a reminder of how far I still have to go. Cheers.

I honestly dont understand why you put up a critique because this is a stunning picture. The perspective is right, the shading is where it should be. Even the color is perfect. Setting sun hitting the girls practically in the face is gorgeous! I love how you actually made the effort to make Storm and Rogue have different Facial Features. Also Storm having a ghetto booty was a very nice touch lol. The T-Rex and Pterodactyls are colored properly as to not be in the foreground. Just all the little details you put in made this thing pop and its a masterpiece. You should be proud. Now all you gotta do is make it a print lol!

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Over all a beautiful image. You should be very proud of that work. I always struggle with getting my tones right when it comes to sunset lighting. Also nice touch with that reflection in the water.

It's silly of me to say, but I get a laugh out of the T-Rex's expression. It feels to me as if he's thinking, "What the HELL is that?!" lol.

So this was done in photoshop? I'm currently on the hunt for a new art software. My computer went the way of scripted television on me recently. I have a new computer, obviously since I'm typing this; but my new OS is not compatible with the Paintshop Pro I was using. I've heard it will freeze up while working in layers. Photoshop I hear is just so expensive.
