Description
Full view for best qualityAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*dead*
OVER 24 HOURS!!!!
I've passed my drawing limit 5 times
you must read until the very end
This is by far my current limit
Fav it or die (like me)
actually since this is my absolute limit right now I want you to comment
really comment, criticize the shit out of it, but only if you think you qualify
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is Arvalis redesigned for 's contest
The objective was to redesign his OC Arvalis (dugh..)
I've redesigned him into a skater/break dancer with a hover board that extends into his weapon; a glowing double edged scythe.
-The hover board's core bends into a scythe like shape when activate as viewed above
-The blue orbs are the mysterious futuristic way that the board floats, it's also the thing that allows it to bend into a weapon. Since the blue orbs can repel they could also be used as a shelled when in weapon mode
-The red orbs under his shoes do the exact opposite of the blue one, that is they attract objects, useful for walking on walls, sticking to the hover board, or in this case keep it floating
-both orbs can change color so he can throw the scythe and attract it back under his feet
-His fighting style consists of jumping around using both his hands and feet to hold the scythe and attack, occasionally throwing the scythe

since people before me have already mentioned anatomy, i'll break some comments about your painting technique.
i don't really know if you use a tablet or a mouse, because there's a huge difference between the two when painting for me. it looks like you paint with either the fuzzy brush tool or the regular paint tool with generous use of blurring/smudging, which results in an IMO rather stale shading style with very diffused focus. moreover, it's a lot mo e time consuming that way...i say this because that's how i first started painting. i'd advice you to try using the opacity brush instead (ignore this statement if you're with a mouse).
i like that you're not afraid to experiment with colors, particularly nice job on the luminosity cast by the scytheboard. creative concept overall, and your willingness to learn and acceptance of criticism means you only have great places to go from here
i apologize if some things aren't very coherent in my comment because it's late here and im typing this with one eye opened.

Here is the critique that you ask for,
The light and shadows are too much off, example no shadow under the guy since he has a bright "blade" on top and the idea is awesome but the colors are a little dry
I can see that you put a lot of work in this one just by looking at it, and keep working hard and you will get better little by little, I recommend a book of the human anatomy to start with the basic, and start practicing in black and white, this will help you understand the volume of the objects, most artist use this method to be able to see and paint a semi, or realistic artwork XD See ya

Thank you for your opinion
I completely forgot about his shadow

NO Problem, I do make mistakes as well XD

well, since you wanted some crtique, here it is
first of all, some mistakes on anatomy.
it's hard to mix realistic anatomy, with cartoony anatomy. i think the head will be made look okay,
but adjusting the arms would be better.
im sure you do practice, im not bashing here.
looking at breakdancer photos, or take photos of your own.
so basically, the left arm - little adjustments there..
and head - maybe hide the face a little, so that it shows he cant tilt all the way like that.
thanks for asking me to critique

HOly SHit What's to criticize??? this is beyond awesomeness *A*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks a lot
criticism can be good to, it's not a spotting the errors game
but there's a lot of anatomy mistakes
although the background screams epic
if you concentrate you'll start noticing a lot of mistakes, for me it's easy cause I've worked on it for so long, sadly it's the same reason why I couldn't see them until I was finished and posted the piece
I still need to improve a lot
well I'm collecting errors so I can fix them, the contest isn't over until the 8th so I have some time left
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're welcome!
you're right about criticism and all. If you want my critic I'll give it you ^_^
First of all I'd Like to Praise you for the wonderful colors and background. Your style has greatly improved and Im sure you can even go further. there are a few anatomy errors here and there but nothing too extreme, I think you should work a little on the proportions perhaps? personally Im not any good enough to give criticism but I'll go ahead and tell you what could possibly be wrong (but that could be just me XD) I'd like to point out his right arm seems to be at an odd angle? Also his left leg seems to be in a slightly awkward position, or maybe a little out of proportion.. Im not sure how to explain .. uh for his leg to be this close means that his scythe should be at a different angle (the tip of the black part should be more into the viewer's direction)but this isnt really obvious unless you actually have a really good look at it. also I think the most noticeable mistake would be the brown bag at his back .. it seems to not be affected by the gravity XD you could either make the strap tighter around his body or let the bag dangle slightly (that could be fixed easily). last but not least how about you make the joints a little bit visible? when I saw this I thought he had jelly hands (no offense intended) It kinda reminded me of luffy X3 but considering the position and clothes you really did an extremely good job 
and dont worry about spotting the mistakes a little late. It always happens with me XDDD sometimes I dont even notice until I upload the picture lmao
anyway I hope my critic was slightly helpful too you

Thank you so much please don't hold back when commenting on my pieces in the future
it's almost impossible to anger me(only Omar can do that) and I'm usually understanding of others point of views(mainly cause I've usually been there, and I get that people think differently)
so shoot me down so I can become stronger(metaphorically not literally nor with the intention of actually bashing me)
OK I hear by declare that I am phoenix
all hail my internal flam of awesomeness
I my be getting a little carried away
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're welcome! X3
I never get angry when I get constructive criticism , despite the fact that I could easily and I mean EASILY get angry 
lmao dont worry im not into bashing 
I prefer something helpful cuz I hate those kind of comments that go like: Omg diS Ich SUXorrss!!! u BaDDD DrAwEEEr!! Go To HEllL . Yep those are gay and I wish they'd atleast speak English
*A* *gets burned by flames*
did you mean eternal or Internal? XD

did you mean eternal or Internal?
I could cover up by saying I meant my internal flames of awesomeness will devour you
but yeah that was a typo, I meant eternal

Thanks a lot
also for the fav
but is there something that doesn't feel right don't hold back thinking it will hurt my feelings
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To be honest, I really don't see mistakes on this picture :/ Maybe the head is a bit errrr strangely rotated? But I saw it now when I looked really closely...and it's probably just my head anyway =.=" I'm tired today.
So shortly: I REALLY think you did an awesome job :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are correct
please don't hold back when commenting on my images
since I don't have a teacher, I can't improve otherwise
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much
but saying great job even with '!' means you have something to say but afraid to hurt my feelings or sound rude
please I can only improve if you start giving me advice
I for one can't criticize properly so it sounds like I'm attacking someone when I give advise
being someone who knows that I can understand when all that you can do is point out the errors without giving a solution
that's why I want people to look really carefully and tell me what they like and dislike about this piece since I worked really hard on it
I'm bot saying go and spot the error though, if all you can see are good points than that's that, criticizer can be good too

Actually...
I quite like it, sometimes I think you are trying
difficult potitions, and then it doesn't always come
out the way you want it.I have that all the time.
Therefore the proportions don't always seem right,I really suck at proportions..
I suggest references, they really help.
I really like what you have done here,because I followed the proces.
I commented you with 'GREAT Job!' mostly because I like the piece, but
also because I'm at my internship now, and don't really have time to comment.
Well, I hope this is a better comment..it's almost time for me to go home..woohoo
weekend!! I'm working a 9 to 5 office job..not really heavy physically, but more mentally..
Anyways Have a nice weekend..!!

Holy Shit....DUDE..You are now in the Next level....
I love the Cloths it So Real
This is Great..i like it better than that other Crap Daily deviation...
[link]
i am Still arguing about it and ....
i Used your Deviation...as an Example that lots of people Deserve a Daily deviation.>Better than that Person....
Wait For it You will be mentioned Later in the Conversation....
FREE VIEWS FOR YOU LOL....
[link]
I totally See you deserve that spot on the DD..
deviant art Sucks....But i cant help not spending Hours on it..lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
still lots of anatomy mistakes(shameful for me)
you're comparing 2 different categories
this DD is going for pixel art you can't compare them
it's like comparing an apple with a tomato, there both food but it's a fruit and a vestibule(technically a tomato is a fruit but you get my point)
you might like one(for you it's apple, for me it's also apple) but that just means you like fruits better
the only way to compare a tomato is to compare it with another vegetable
so among vegetables tomato wins(yes tomato doesn't actually win, it's for the sake of the example)
and among pixel based art this deviation deserves a DD, the one giving it is responsible for this kind of art, I fall under another GM's category

Ok... Now i got it ....
But it Doesn't Say Pixel art..
It Just says oekkeki..
Which means scribble or doodle....
And that "Scribble" Doesn't Live up to a Daily deviation Spot..
Even in the Category of "Scribbles" ive seen better..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That scribble is below scribbling standards

I didn't know you've gone that far into the conversation [link]

cof cof...
ok first i gotta say, its pretty cool and caught my attention, but still some stuff looks kinda weird...
first i comment your anatomy, dont know if you good at it or not...but in this drawing is kinda strange, first the head doesnt go that far...or...you die...
and his right arm...its not ok, the perspective, is weird, and his hand...its kinda...
but still his hair is very cool, his left sleeve is very cool, looks very realistic
just one more thing, that weapon pieces, dont know if is to look like that, but they dont arent in the same perspective...
well hope u dont get mad, since you asked for a critique
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I was talking about
you're completely correct about the anatomy mistake(s)
the reason is simply that I didn't have a ref so I had to make it up as I go
for me this is a completely new pose it's not that the head is to far(well it is)
it's that the body is to long, I also had to make up muscles on his back(I've hid that one pretty well)
this reminds me do you know any good reference galleries
you're also correct about the scythe's perspective
the original drawing was created without regard to perspective
when I redesigned the scythe I took a couple of vantage points witch naturally the body didn't take
you're comment regenerated my stamina
now I'm ready to start fixing my mistakes
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah You listen to him and not me...*cries*
I agree on these stuff..i just was too lazy to mention..
But i only saw it when you told me,,,THEY ARE HIDDEN,,,,lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
well glad that u aint mad
well to do my anatomy, or i use my wood model(thats crap to me XD) or i use final fantasy toys, or, when i really in the mood i use manga studio 3d models they are very cool, cos, when you look at the screen you only see one perspective, and you can choose how strong is that perspective, it can be a little hard in the beginning, but you look like a smart dude, so you will "hit" ir fast
and im glad i restored ur stamina
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dud you're icon just blinked(lol didn't notice it was a gif)
I tried standing on my hand and visualizing what it would look like(That wasn't smart)
after drawing it from my head(many many trials) I got the idea of posing backwards IE my legs would be on the ground an I'd pretend I'm standing
to bad it came after I finished the line art, well I used it to correct the leg anatomy, naturally it wasn't the correct pose but it helped
doing while sleeping on the ground didn't help ether, it just made my brother laugh
I had the idea of using manga studio 3d once
why did I forget that program?
well thank you yet again for reminding me

yeah, i changed, the other one didnt bliked
no problem hope u get better
