Description This is a contest entry for the contest here: xxshilo-chanxx.deviantart.com/… hosted by XxShilo-chanxX and XxNemi-ChanxX

It took me 3 days to work on this.. but I did enjoy working on this because of the colorful elements which are fire, earth, water and air, that I was able to paint on! It's been sooo long since I've drawn something so colorful.

I used poster paints and colored pencils (for the finishing) and slightly cleaned on Adobe PS3 (the white latex paint that I used was dirty).

I hope you enjoyed guys.

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


You did a really nice job in the separation of each elemental character while still maintaining the togetherness of the entire piece. With the mediums you used, I think your technique was executed very well. You also did a nice job with the portrayal of the actual elements. I am mostly impressed with the water and fire. Those seem difficult for many people to pull off. The only thing I would suggest would be to try and match the characters to their element--Their characteristics don't seem to coordinate with their elements and it makes them a little bit confusing. However, this could be done intentionally and the characters don't necessarily have to be executed in that manner.

You did a really nice job! I didn't look at the contest results but I am sure you've done well e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

Thanks so much for the wonderful critique!
It was required in the contest to draw the character's clothes as is so, I cant really match them with their element. I only ended up as one of the honorable mentions but i'm glad since there were a lot of entries too.

This is a hard one to pull off! figuring out the borders and a way to express each element (I could tell before reading the title/caption!) I am in love with bright colors, and for someone who doesn't do them as often (as you say) you did a phenomenal job! I think the flow of this pieces is wonderful, and no one sticks out more than the other, it keeps your eye moving around the paper.. Wonderful job! Love all you work, not just this one! And thanks for the llama!

Woah! This is so lovely!! The way you split this in four yet made everything fade into one another is done in such a creative way! (And the guy at the top looks a lot like Allen hahaha xD dontcha think?) I especially like how you did the Earth girl. Your style works so well with plants and the like! ^^ incredible!!

Oh this is amazing! I'm amazed by the idea you chose by putting all four of them in an elemental way like this. It's truly gorgeous!
Your style is so good and you drew their clothes and expression and hair so well! The elements are beautiful! Nature, Fire, Air, Water. They are gorgeous all four of them!

Thank you very much for particapating in our contest! We apriciate it so much~

MariposaLass-93 [2014-05-31 18:09:32 +0000 UTC]

Very interesting way that you do with the idea.

I'm planning on writing a fan fiction crossover that involves 4 different characters having control over water, fire, earth & air. Surprisingly, the very first group of people to have that power are of the same gender as these people in the drawing.

Great job! Keep a good work!
