Oh of course don' worry about that, I appreciate your lovely insight and I understand what you mean when parts of the line-work looking like it blends in with the background and confuses the foreground I love input nonetheless and of course I want to improve as an artist, that's the beauty of it all.

Impact


Meant to write one of these last night, but for some reason the critique thing wouldn't show up on my screen. Weird. Ah well, it's here now, that's what matters. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod"/>

VISION: I believe the vision is pretty good on this. Drawing all of those scales was ambitious as hell, and I very much like it. Very impressive. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

ORIGINALITY: While not really a very original idea (GreedySpike and Rarity has been done many times), it's still a pretty unique take on it. I particularly like how smug Spike looks, rofl.

TECHNIQUE: As always, your technique is incredibly astounding. I really don't see any flaws with the execution. Have I mentioned I love the scales? Excellent job!

IMPACT: Your style always leaves an impression, and this picture is no exception. While I may not be a fan of the Sparity ship, I can still appreciate great art like this. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Overall, fantastic job! I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod"/>

Mega-Gojira In reply to gumballkitty [2014-01-31 02:02:33 +0000 UTC]

They wanted to add a little bit "King Kong" to their Godzilla homage. Spikezilla was perfect for both roles, as he may grow up as a huge dragon, and he really cares (loves) Rarity.

Well, look at that another great moment from a great episode captured to perfection in this pic! First I must start saying that Rarity looks cute to the highest exponent! God, that worried look in her face and that blush make her look just to adorable. For Spike, well he looks pretty, sorry for this if there is any inconvinience, badass! And the scales make him look more like a realistic dragon. The clouds on this pic are very well done, I just loved the way you did them. Well, not going to make more blah, blah. Amazing job!

I'm extremely jealous of your shading and lighting in this picture. I'm also a huge Sparity fan-guess you can tell by my fav's list.

karkovice1 In reply to Aurora-Chiaro [2013-02-16 13:33:01 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it's the fact that Spike's got his tail wrapped around Rarity like that.

tamalesyatole [2013-02-14 04:05:56 +0000 UTC]

Some critique...

The texture in Spike's back looks pretty good, as well as in the tail.

However, IMO, the texture in the face is a lot more evident, and looks more "flat", but I'm not sure if that's because the shading is less contrasting in the face than in the back.

The scales in front of the neck looks shiny, like polished, and I think that's good; however, the lower chin looks a little like a beak, for the same reasons.

And the green part of the "ear" looks very good. Very good shading there.

Thank you very much for your wonderful insight, yes I agree that the scales look a bit discontinuous. It's something that I have to still improve on Thank youI totally appreciate this feedback

Wow this is nice! I'm pretty neutral about shippings but Spike and Rarity is a cute one in my opinion. And plus Rarity is my favorite main pony anyway. I really do like how you drew her she looks adorable.

Oh, and nice job on the scales- a very cool touch

This is so amazingly detailed, and to be honest I can't really believe you did it only with traditional medium because it's just amazing!
Lineart is amazing, and the colors are wonderful!

Also Greed!Spike with Element of Generosity... they somehow fit together, and I've never noticed it before reading the description 0u0

Lovely use of your lineart dear!
I especially love the thicker parts, it certainly helps make the characters pop up from the blue background and stand out a lot better.

The scales on Spike are just crazy! There are so many, it really gives a nice touch of detail and texture to the entire piece.

Lovely work dear!
