Honestly? I just didn't erase my hand smudges. I liked how they looked, so I added more graphite to the left and right lower corners to give a more churned up effect, smudged it with my finger and then erased (cleaned up) from the upper right corner to his helm to give the illusion of a light source.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this critique, Aungie. I know that they take more time and effort than the average comment or fav, so thank you. My only nitpick is that you might be too nice! I don't know what to work on next in order to improve.
Still, I would be lying if I didn't say that I'm happy (THRILLED) that you like this piece so. Thanks again for the glowing crit!

I know T.T I just can't help it, your stuff is so awesome!
I'm not very experienced with noticing technical/artistic errors except for anatomy wise so I don't always notice errors (if there is any) especially when it comes to something as epic as this
I'll try harder to find you better critique though!

LOL, I'm sorry! I did not mean to critique your critique!
All you need to be a good critic is to be aware of what you like and what you don't, and understand why to some degree so that you can explain it to the artist. Art is subjective. So for me to expect everyone to LOVE what I did is silly. Same thing for the flip side. In every piece there must be something redeeming... something that the artist did well, whether it was colour choices, composition, the general idea of the piece... you get the idea.
It's not about redlining. If you loved this, and that's all there is to it, then that's cool. You told me WHY you love it. I should smile, feel a moment of pride, consider what you liked and keep working at getting better as a whole. Does an artist ever stop learning? Really? I hope not.
So your critique was fine. The blame is with me for not being content with your beautifully articulated praise.

Such a beautiful work! I'm getting further into the series and I'm eager to learn more about Rhaegar and Lyanna. I hope that eventually we get something that tells the full story.

Thank you.
I love him too. The beauty about loving a character who is already dead is that GRRM can't take him away from me anymore...
Name me one other dead character from that series who gets mentioned even a quarter as much as Rhaegar Targaryen? That man was larger than life.

I have to say, I always look forward to formal critiques like a kid waiting for Christmas!
Thank you for the praise, and I look forward to hearing more from you. I understand that you're busy and that you have art of your own that you want to produce.

WOW!THIS IS SERIOUSLY SUPER COOL!
I think Rhaegar Targaryen will be rise from his grave to congratulate you, he must be very proud! (OK, I know I'm being hyperbolic here but I don't really care )
the detail is just
from the armor, to the horse, even the veil (is it veil, right?) in his hand is just well done. I definitely can see the different surfaces and textures in this. your drawing/ coloring/ shading skills is definitely improve, my friend!
I can see how much work and love you put in this piece, the result is AWESOMEEE!!!

Heh, thank you for your kind comments.
Yes... the (stark) white veil, lady's scarf, favor... thing... Yeah. I know it should be tied to his shoulder or tucked into his gambeson, but I just liked how it looked on his lance. It flows so nice way up there.
I just had this idea in my head for awhile and I wanted so desperately to do it justice. I'm glad that you like it.

Wow, this is beautiful, I love the colours and the epic pose, also the fact that you added a horse in there too makes it even better! I love the details in the armour and the way you coloured the fabric, it really does give it a lot of life

CMBaggs In reply to Sleyf [2013-09-08 14:22:51 +0000 UTC]
I'm trying really hard to convey different surfaces and textures with shading and colouring, and to show the different surfaces of his armour. Which I find difficult with black. I didn't want him to come out like a shink's inkblot! I'm such an amateur, but if I can see even a millimetre of progress I'm thrilled.

Yeah black is very difficult to shade with to be honest, lol but I think he came out fine!

yes! finally a dark armor, but the only thing I didn't like was that the picture wasn't... huurrrrr, how do I express it? it should been 'horizon' not 'upstanding' >.<'''
