any critics?

Well since it isn't fnish I can't really say, but the parts you have coloured are amazing. It's rich with details, just as one would expect.

Average score: awesum

ya, whats there looks good, maybe, ( and this might just be me) it seems a little to busy, but thats my opinion, take it or leave it.

Yeah, the composition is really really busy, as lo_res said. There's just too much stuff. But the coloring looks amazing, so I hope I'll be proven wrong when I see the final result. Looks great, otherwise.

i also agree it is quite busy but I would like to see the final result before i commit to that deciesion.

also the two tables in the forground kinda confuse me it almost looks like the close one is floating! not sure if it is a perspective problem of if i'm just sleepy

You thinking of the carpet?

Anyway the table on the right looks like its circle cut in the middle, notice the table cloth falling straight?
(Probably fixed when painted i guess)

Ayway I like it it came out very CMI, As for being busy Looks good to me well have to see the end result though..

Keep up the good work!

Looks quite nice, bu it think the overall perspective is too warped, like a fish-eye lens. You should look at some of the Art from CMI (which i presume you have been given the style.) and try to look at the structure of the BGs. Yes, thyre warped, but they follow contours and curves which make them pleasing to look at. Ill try and post an example of what i mean later.

Also, again, i advice folks to colour onto a more neuteral colour than white, your work will look better for it.

Its a nice layout with some cool detailling, and i think if you revisit it you'll get some good results

"they follow contours and curves which make them pleasing to look at"

If Dan's art isn't evidence enough that this is true, let me agree wholeheartedly with this!

The backgrounds are looking good so far -- I think the beach scene's composition falls apart in the upper-right corner, though. I can't say anything until you finish one or both of them, so please do so that we have something to talk about.

(It's frustrating and unhelpful to critique a piece and have the artist respond, "Well, it's obviously not done yet, I just haven't added that yet...")

lo_res_man · Wed 22/03/2006 21:18:06

I agree with Desmond, fed27. Finish one of your pictures, then repost. one crit I can say is, on the second pic, is that moss or sun dappling? either way it doesn't look right.
