My color vision isn`t perfect... So thank you. Critique is very helpful!

Can`t you just edit the Earthworm Jim one and remove the tag? Then you can upload another later if you want.

The way i shade my pictures is by shifting the hue and then giving it a darker shade ( for example if you have red add a little blue to the base Color and than make the shade darker ) that makes the Colors a little less boring. Thats the way i shade. You could try it if you want but the Colors are better than they first were

It takes me way more time that it's supposed to to do this thing haha.
Also I apologize in advance to all the Romanian people who might be seeing this for, probably, totally misrepresenting your cultural clothes design with this piece.

Yeah tell me about it. It seems to take me longer to do on a PC than on Pen and paper. I really need to win that Cintique LOL

Response to Jan 2016 COTM: "New Resolution" 2016-01-10 15:00:36


I would probably check with Jazza first to see if he will allow it? The rules state we cannot change the angle etc of the pic although we can draw in our own style. Would hate for you not to have a chance at winning.

I don't see them either but if you are worried about your entry, Jazza will find it as long as you add the right Tag.

Like the progress so far with yours.

on a side note here's another update on mine. gonna refine toe detail of the bg and maybe the lineart a little. Any tips on shading or anything that can be improved?

I'm going to update the female character from golden axe because she was my favourite on the mega drive, so far I've only done the torso in a rough way to get an idea. Any tips with getting the proportions right?

Hehe looks like we picked the same epic scene. Though it seems we went different directions with it. Yours looks pretty awesome.

It doesn't have to be a character. It can be any scene from any game pre-1990

Nice volume and very ambitious angle. Let`s hope Jazza accepts the angle change, I think he was clear on not allowing that.

When you are this ambitious with the angle and use foreshortening, reslly sketch it out again and again in very rough lines before you start painting it, so you are sure it looks right. Draw the limbs and parts of the body that are behind others too, that we won`t see in the finished piece, so a foot or hand ends up looking like it is pointing the wrong way or the angle is a bit off. Make lots of little thumbnails and sketches in more or less advanced stick figures, then start drawing over the sketch you are happy with.
Quick tip: on the face, the heavy shadow on the right makes it look like there is a big distance between the face and the helmet, on the left side, the dim shadow makes it look like the face is very close to the face. You could either dim down the shadow on the right or heavier on the shadows to the left of the face to make it consistent.
Also. a more defined line or more shadow between lips and mouth would be good too.
Keep it up, lots of potential! :D
Megaman rules!

PS: Sorry for any bad english grammar or misspellings..

Thanks for the constructive criticism.
ps. Should I enter in the beginner or open category?


I've finished coloring the Spaceship from Galaga, tomorrow I'll start coloring the Yellow Bug, and if I have finish early I'll start coloring the White Bug. Feedback on my shading is very much welcome.
