[QUOTE="Acquana, post: 2225219, member: 1616"] Well ... Please don't take any criticism personally, but you did say it was welcome. Your work has a lot of promise, and you're being rather daring in your choices ... But it lacks a lot of techincal prowress. Mostly what'd do you good is anatomy. The face structures on most of them are kinda off ... in that it's fairly obvious you're letting what you seen of other illustrators dictate how you draw things (shape of the face, eyes etc) rather than figuring it out on your own ... Especially the one woman you've posted. You'll have to excuse me, I'm a woman so I tend to get very picky about how they're drawn. Your body structure is better than a lot of your male figures ... Though if you're going to be as detailed as it seems, chainmail will not allow the curve of the breast to be seen. It would simply flow over the top curve and drape. Most importantly (at least in my opinion) over-rendering does not make an illustration better. Adding lots of lines that don't really serve much purpose is what it may seem like people want to see ... But if you don't really have a definate light source it just ends up looking a little ... boring. And the really bad thing about lots and lots of rendering? If there's even a little bit off in the under drawing, it's going to stick out far, far more if you rully render the piece. So anyhoo ... I hope that helps! There's some talent there, how old are you? [/QUOTE]
