NDA Art Critique Message Boards

The rider reminds me of a green avatar. But I love it!

Nothing like Avatar to me.

It looks lovely so far. Enjoying the progress, I pretty much agree with everything that's been said before .

The movie Avatar took so much of its stuff from everywhere in the fantasy art world, that almost anything and everything "looks like Avatar" when the reality of it is "Avatar looks like insert creation here". I think it looks very nice, and although it might resemble the Avatar characters slightly, it looks very good on its own merit. Also, she is not blue, and I am very much glad for that xD

Thank you so much to everyone XD The final piece can be found here on DA: Linky link. For now I'm pleased with it, but i'll probably look back in a few days and hate it :P

Andantonius: Thank you so, so much <3 <3 XD I did what you suggest as best I could, and it ended up looking much better in the end. You've also taught me a really useful trick for future pieces :D

Rabbidelf: XD With lots of scribbling :P and annoyance ^^

Gingerleaf: *cringes slightly* :P I was waiting for someone to say that XD. But these guys aren't inspired by Avatar (as much as I love that film) in any way at all and have been running around my head for nearly 5 years now. Plus, they're smaller than the Nav'i, have tripple jointed legs, long hair, and are green XD Thank you muchly thoughs anyway XD I can't see how my characters reminding someone of a Nav'i is a bad thing :D

Lhune: Thankies <3 For now I'm calling this finished- I handed it in yesterday and mah tutors seemed pretty pleased with it :3 I hope to go back to it one day though, just need a break for now.

Conundrum: Thank you so muchs ^^ <3 And that is a really good way as to how to look at everything really ^^ Nothing is original these days, though it's not a bad thing as long as actual thought is put into a design :3 Thanks again ^^ <3

Oh, sorry. But it still's better than me.

No need to apologise Gingerleaf; tis all good ^^ XD

*applause* my dear flute this is really a great pic! i love it! so much!

Thank you muchly my friend *hugs* As always I really appreciate it ^^ <3 <3 <3

Here, have three cheesy space people designs, and a crazy, deluded Viking Goddess XD



Some designs for my newest uni project- our group decided to go for sci-fi/steam punk type theme, but I'm failing miserably at somehow incorporating steam punk into their designs. I think the technology will be more steam punk based, rather than the character costumes. I've got another 2 guys to do by Thursday, so I'll update that then.



I started this months and months ago, and was really upset when I lost everything on my hard drive, but then remembered that I had uploaded a WIP to photobucket. So today I started to re-work it- trying to smooth the pixaliness out. I think I've messed the values, etc. up, but so far I'm happy. I'm having to work on top of it as one layer, which is making things a little difficult. But hopefully I'll finally be able to get this character portrait done soon ^^

As always, crits, red lines, etc. are very very welcomes ^^ Thanks for looking <3

Moar art dumps XD



This is for a contest- theme was some sort of dragon girl, and it has to have green in it :P So she's going to be coloured with very natural greens and maybe some earthy reds. Her left foot looks funky as hell >.<



My half of a trade over on DA. This one is taking me a lot longer than usual because of all the different colours :3 But she's a fun character to work on :D



Slowly getting there with this one.



And I re-vamped the Welsh dragon XD If you look here you can see a more detailed picture

Thanks to any and all who look, comment or crit <3 <3 <3
