|[SUTARI]| lotta concept art

[Sutari]

The gallery confused me and I thought that would count as a thread, then I saw critique corner.... bleh. anyways,

I have been drawing since 2006 on the old old MT. I would not be as far as I am now without the amazing critiques everyone gave back then. Hopefully I can continue to get them and improve more!

i don't know what to crit. your really good in anatomy.
though if i can go back to 2006 i could probably do. xD

now i'm kinda seeing amatsu ken in those past drawings. i thought you were kidding when you said that

[nisaren]

The anatomy looks good enough that I can't find much without really digging. I do have some suggestions for the colored version of the last piece. First, the red light/flames that surround the woman should be reflected in the surroundings (and probably would be noticeable on the both the woman's and boy's features). The white light of the moon would also probably be reflected off the leaves and trees in the background. Can't think of anything else. It's looking nice so far.

[Kodos]

Oh, Rei.

[Outcast]

Oh, Rei.

Agreed

[ram]

oh i agree with nisaren, even if i can't crit in anatomy i guess i can still do something with the coloring.
so i'll add something in what nisaren said.

if that's something like a glow aura, you could make add some soft light layer and put the the same color and brush it around the leaves.
make another layer for light again in the moon. but not in soft light this time, just go with normal. then change the layer style and put some inner shadow and outer glow with it.

[Gedeon]

Ahh you and your red and grey colors......magnificent!

[Matt]

I'll react to this thread the same way Kodos and Outcast did.

Beyond that, I don't have much to say besides THANKYOUSOMUCHFORDRAWINGSIERRA!

I know it's not important, but what's happening in this picture? I can assume a sort of coming-of-age ritual, but that's just an assumption.

[Joosh]

[Chuchu]

Woah, your improvement chart is amazing! O.O
I can't really point out anything to critique, you did an amazing job with the colors!
