Exquisite.

This is lovely. Your skill with skin tones and anatomy are quite impressive.

thanks :-]

Honestly the background is a pixelized eyesore, but I just can't argue with the adorable octopus holding a flag. To improve, I'd eliminate the white space (especially in the corners), and consider extending the canvas a quarter to the right to enhance the composition.

WetPhyseter responds:

It is an eyesore, isn't it? But it's just to fill up the space because this, m'am, is part of a GIANT ANIMAL THING, or at least the 'tapus. But great advice. I'll buy you an ice cream cone.

Funny but...

Mildly amusing, but the least you could do is scan it properly and rotate the image so that the text is right side up.

decent but...

This is largely well handled, but the mouth quite honestly is terrifying and the photograph is blurry. Tripods are wonderful things.

Scarifying responds:

Yea I agree. The photo too was very blurry and hard to work from.

looks fine to me

The solder mark is actually really well placed- so symmetrically it looks intentional. It might bother visiting metalworkers who recognize it as a soldering line, but I think the average viewer would just assume the silver line was a decoration.

Did the copper piping come with the ribbon-wrapped tube effect, or did you add that?

DarkSword responds:

Yeah, the soldermark position is intentionnal, I wanted two separate pieces, rolled in different dirrections to merge in the center. It was also planned that it would completely dissapear when the handle would be electroplated, since the solder material was filed and polished to be flush with the copper (you can't feel it, only see it for now.. )

The ribbon wrap is from me, this tube came in 2 foot diameter roll, so didn't had anything close to a handle shape.. : )

I know it's a bit crude, but I am not equiped with fancy tools, so I came up with a simple but still ok design, that like I said, is very nice to the touch.. I could probably engrave it to add some visual complexity.. : )

Arm?

The image is largely fine, but unless the subject is an amputee, she needs the rest of her right arm (viewer's left).

OnionsXD responds:

Yeah I'm sorry. I kinda saw that mistake but I just couldn't figure out how to fix it...

Collage, you mean?

Do you perhaps mean collage (the integration of multiple two dimensional elements into a single composition) rather than college (higher education institution) ? Otherwise, the face is very nice- put the head on a neck on it and give it some sort of background, and I'd give it a ten.

desktoppirate responds:

lol no, higher education it is. it's on a poster with text etc but i didnt think to upload that...

blur begone

I agree with the other commenter: the blur is hurting the image. It's also hurting my eyes, as they vainly attempt to focus on the picture fail miserably.
If you're certain you want to keep the blur, I'd recommend localizing it so that some parts are blurred and other parts are in focus, which is a good way of guiding the viewer to around the design. Selectively focused areas will also give viewer's eyes a place to rest, and save an otherwise worthwhile image.

HOLIMOUNT responds:

hehehehe now i fix it thanks for the comment reallyc helpfull

Well done

My reaction (before reading author's comments): I have no idea what hell these are, but they're rendered so skillfully I can't help but like them.
I'd recommend finishing the upper two sketches or erasing them, though, as they're distracting.

Nicely ethereal

The imagery you have here is powerful, so I can understand the frustration of being unable to put your finger on what's wrong with it.

The things that bother me:
a)The shadow on the left jaw is so severe it presents a jawline at odds with the one below it: I'd recommend eliminating that bit of white that seems to be floating above the left blood stream , or runs some more blood over it.

b) neck looks a bit wide for the head size.

c) I'd add a bit more negative space: as it is the figure is cropped so tightly and symmetrically that it fails to fully exploit the painting's strength, namely its elegant fading-into-the-background-ness.

sucho responds:

thanks, i agree especially with c) this would look much better if it wasn't so forefront and i had it hidden somewhere off to the side and concentrated on just the texture of the painting.
