NDA Art Critique Message Boards

Time for a new WIP! It's one of my many charaters, Brinsingr.



Redlines or C and C are welcome.


Also, I've been thinking about doing a contest. Ideas for it are welcome. I will be posting another thread for it if I start it.

I'm really attracted to the paws and the neck. The Detail on the paw is amazing! I think what could have benefited and been a little more worked on were the front limbs, they seem out of proportion a bit and a little two thin near the joints. The Eel(I think it's an Eel..) IS adoreable. I love his expression, the texture on the fins is outstanding and overall you are getting better and better with each piece! Keep it up Hydra!

I would do some Red line for you, but I can't honestly... I'm not going to disclose why but you can blame my Dad for it. However, I can give you worded Critique! The overall design is pretty okay, I'd take a look at the wing joints though, they seem to be a little Too thin! You have to remember a Dragon that flies a lot(just like with exersice and a human) Excersices his wings alot, therefore they are strong and muscular! Unless the wings are not meant for flying and just for show(or he is a little baby dragon). I like the triangle shape of the head and how you have th neck seems fine to me, not too thick, not to thin, very good. I would work on the head perspective just a little bit, try seeing a few tutorials on an overhead view of a creature/dragon flying. I like the originality of the Horns(I guess they are horns) and how they cross over like that, it's pretty epic. I think the hips need more dfinitions from the tail, specially since there is a set of legs there(I think.... I could be wrong.) and the chest region probably needs to be slightly more broader and muscles(Since there are four Wings) I've always kinda liked the Four winged Dragon idea, I have one of my own, but she's an ooooooold character and she was designed after Vlakas from LineageII. I hope I helped ^^ I can't wait to see this one done!

And I contest sounds pretty epic, I might not really be able to join in, but still seems like a good idea, just be sure you know how you are going to score it and what prizes will be. My first contest was a bust because I did not know much of the scoring... I need to go draw the stuff for the winners of a contest on a RP board still... I SHALL DO EET... After homework. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO HYDRA! No really, I must say you have gotten a lot better since you came here. Practice and patience!

Thank you so much! And, yes, those are horns, he's got legs, etc... I'm sure this will help a lot.

Ok, update!



I still have a bit to do, but tell me what ya think! And the contest has started, there is a new thread for it in the other forum. If you have any questians for it please post in the other thread.

I was playing around with the head and I drew this. I have no idea where this came from. But I think I'll call him Yellow Jacket.

Update.



Inking is done. And now I just have to color it.


Here is a picture I drew on vacation. His name is Zephyr.


And here is my first ref. sheet! It's for MistMaker, my Night Lord.
