BlueMode responds:

Thanks! :) :)

[Look for the sky]

This piece feels a little different from your others; I'm not talking theme however, though I suppose that could be part of the "difference" that I'm feeling.

The composition in this isn't as unified as your other pieces; the singer who's the center of attention is an odd distance away? I just noticed now that his right foot is elevated, and that the ground is slanting upwards. Perhaps more color contrast? Darker darks? I think some of these perspective wierdness that I'm feeling may have been remedied if that left back foot came towards the camera a bit more. Or perhaps I'm being anal attentive in wanting something more exaggerated from this piece.

Your background though is gorgeous. I do love the other hooded individuals, and the palette you've chosen for the fire and sky. They look really nice together!

He needs a neck! But well done otherwise. I do love the digital painted look.

BlueMode responds:

Thanks I'll remake it specially for you with a neck! :)

[Get Your Own]

Pardon me for faving and running yesterday!

I really enjoyed this piece. I'm quite a fan of dragons, and so when I saw this scene, and the relationship that these two apparently have, it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. The pose, expressions and layout of the overall piece feel really natural, and I'd love to hear what the dialogue would be between the two characters.

There's some funny perspective things going on with your background. Some of the trees. The stream. But its not anything jarring enough to take the viewer out of the moment.

A very very nice concept. Keep up the good work!

[TET Project Mock-up]

Padon me for faving and running yesterday!

I love your work. There's just something so clean, and fresh, and imaginative about your work that really draws me in. Your concept and design are original, I really enjoy seeing the things you have to post.

Thanks for sharing this with us, and keep up the good work!

While this is very good, there is a huge difference in quality between this picture and the most recent one you have posted. Is this one, and the man one perhaps rotoscoped? (Colored over in Photoshop?) IN which case, do you have the reference pictures for them?

Just curious! This is a particular style I really like- a kind of photo realistic/ painted look.

This is beautiful! I love the atmosphere and lighting! Quite splendid! Was this done in flash?

AtTheSpeedOf responds:

Thanks, it was done in Photoshop CS6.

[Satashi in Dersus city]

...And Satashi is a hot piece! The pose, expression, and environment are all really nice. I love your composition and how its busy, without being too cluttered. Just the right amount of gestalt my friend.

A critique however; your lighting is pretty wonky, and because of that, its noticeable that your picture is, indeed, made up of layers, rather than being a unified piece. Atmospheric light, despite the lighting in the background, should still play a part in your landscape; especially objects further away from the camera. You're also missing some lighting from the moon in there. Your lighting would then be less white, and more of a soft lighter blue; which I think could really help to push the depth in this piece.

Overall though, a great scene. It leaves a story to be told inside the viewers head. Keep up the good work!

Evil-Rick responds:

Thanks! Yeah, lighs are some of my weakness, but I'm trying to work it out, in this particulary pic I was looking forward to go deeper with backgrounds (yes, they're layers) which, if you look on my other pics, I don't do background sthat much, I also consider them to be my weakness and I'm trying to work that out. Thanks for the review!

[Ayano Matsumoto]

Suuuuch cool designs. I can't spend as much time on each piece as I'd like to, but out of all the ones you've posted, I think I really love her design the most. It's almost got an avatar airbender feel to it. Really love your attention to the detail on the clothing, and the vector style in which you've created the smoke behind her.

A stunning yes simple piece with a lot of beautiful action. Well done!

Jettyjetjet responds:

Wow! What a nice comment, thanks! A comment like that deserves a handshake and a hug! Yeah it was avatar inspired. Glad you like it =) Take care!
