"Really Good"

date: November 22, 2009

This picture is excellent. Everything is detailed and done really well. However, I find that, at a glance, the characters clothing blends in to the background and seems to be overshadowed by the bright orange of the trailer. I found that my eye would look to the dark blue water bottle as that seemed to stick out the most. Maybe a different colour for the trailer would have made the character stand out more. I learned in Art school that people tend to look at bright vibrant colours like orange.

But the characters suit colouring is done well enough that it does stand out from the trailers orange and my complaints really are nothing more then nit-picking. Overall a excellent picture.

Congrats on the front page, this definitely deserves it. It's incredibly detailed and precise, as well as stylized, and aesthetically positioned. The only thing that bugs me is the background, while I'm glad you put one in, there are certain points which aren't very detailed in comparison to the figure.

Only reason not 10 out of 10 is the clouds. while really good and also making good use of lighting(much props) the bottom cloud has to much contrast that is too drastic compared to the rest of the pic. Outside of that I can give you no criticism.

hey up and coming art god, good stuff you got there everything is extremely detailed in proper porportions the only thing i see wrong with this is that woman has a stern stern face thats like I just took part in a major corporate take over not i just ran my ass 20 miles also the water bottle is a nice touch but - the thing is, you have the bottle empty yet the bottle has no visible condensation on it and idk but if you go out running on a hot ass day that bottle is gonna have a good deal of condensation - even if it is empty and youre girl who HAS been running (nobody takes off to run with an already empty bottle) is gonna be sweaty if youre going for stunning realism you have to make sure All the tiny details are takin care of but good work friend i look forward to your front page worthy submissions in the future - bernard out

"Quite nice, but off in a few places"

by: Xatu

Very good drawing. The one nitpick I have is with the right leg. The knee is too far down. Since the leg is going behind her, the right knee should be equal to or higher than the left one. As is, it makes her right thigh look about four inches longer than her left one. A similar problem happens with her right elbow, although it's not as pronounced. I mean these comments in a totally constructive way. The rest of the anatomy is really good and I look forward to your work in the future.

Too bad you messed up on the leg sizes, would have been really cool if you fixed those up before uploading.. her right leg is waaay thicker than the left..

That's actually the shadow on her left leg that makes it look so skinny, but the light from behind her is shining on it, it can be tough to notice unless you look at it full size.

It's almost 12pm and I have to go to bed but I had to post something about this even though I virtually never post on this website.

You have phenomenal skills. I'm a decent artist all around, nothing really too special, so I have an understanding of what's skillful or the other way around.

My favourite part is the shadowing. It's absolutely beautiful.

I highly recommend you try really hard to put your name and your work out in the world because people will love it. No doubt. I also suggest you keep on drawing. I stopped about 2 years ago and I can already notice how I'm lacking some technique. I know this isn't really meaningful coming from a random person from the internet, and I couldn't care less whether you're an ass hole or an angel in person, but I can tell you that you have an amazing talent and personally I'd feel offended if you didn't do anything with it.

I don't even know what else to write to express how much this drawing has appealed to me in numbers of ways. You have my complete respect man. Don't stop what you're doing because it's working.

Goodnight.
