First off, I think you definetly deserve praise for this wonderful artwork of King Dimentio and Ashtros (They seem redesigned ^.^ They look amazing). The art just has this creepy, evil, slightly perilous feel to it and I find myself absolutely loving Ashtros's red eye staring right at you! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart"/> It's a wonderful piece of art and I'm glad I have the honor of critiquing it. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
Now! Down to business...
THE GOOD!: Your technique in this piece of art is wonderful. I loved the angles you drew the King and Ashtros in. They give off the impression that Ashtros is gloating while King Dimentio is panicking and, if you don't mind me saying, pissed off xD. Some other good techniques besides the angles and expressions include the glows that you used in various portions of the picture that do indeed add a very nice touch. The bachground also is another plus. It has a good amount of detail without stealing the spotlight too much. It gains just the right amout of attention. The shading in the picture is also good for the most part, however I do have some comments on it for the next section e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>
Now!~
What needed a little bit of work: I can't really say that it was easy to find anything that needed work in this picture. It wasn't until I pressed "Download Image" and took a closer look that I found some minor adjustments that could have been made to add a touch of perfection to the picture. As impossible as it may be to achieve, striving for it was never a crime e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>. Upon looking closer, I found that the shading on Ashtros's chin and a little close to his ear (the MUCH darker shading) seemed a little awkwardly placed to me. It seems like the shading is very rough and just a little messy, and lacking a little in slightly lighter shading around that area.There's only one more problem that I had with the shading and that was it seems like there could be more shading on Ashtros's torso and the back of King Dimentio's shoulder and head (mainly the har could have some darker tones). considering the amount of shading elsewhere and the darker tones in the picture, a little bit more of dark shading would be encouraged. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> Like I said, nothing that big, but it all helps, right? Now, the only other problem I had was with the outline itself. First glance, it looks amazing! Enlarge it and then stare at it for a few hours and you may notice that in some placed, it's a little uneven and could use a little more refining. For example! The ends of Ashtros's cape seem like they are a bit thick, rather than tapered. On some other parts of the cape, such as the top part, you can (if you look closely, like I did and hurt my eyes doing XD) There are some breaks in the outline. Now, what I mean by that is you can almost see where you lifted your hand from your tablet, shifted your position, and continued the outline. This simply means that the line shifts a bit from a smooth curve or straight line. Once again, I'll say that you can't see any of this unless you actually stare at the picture for a few minutes/hours e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
This is all that I have to say about this picture. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> It's truly a wonderful piece and I decided that going in depth (as much as I could) with each section would hopefully benifit you in the way you hoped from the critique
Keep on drawing, you are amazing~

^__^ I want to thank you for the critique. I normally never get anything when it comes to these except for the "Awsome" and "cool" which doesn't help me at all.
^__^ I'll apply this to my next big pic. Thank you again for the review

And to think that the staff that Ashtros is holding is Igy's. It really makes me wonder how Ashtros got it from Igy (The Crystal Star).

Purpleclaw: Damn. King Dimentio's P*SSED. : P I like the fangs you gave Ashtros. Nice artwork. Question, do you use digital art? OH WAIT, yes, you used it for this pic. Screw me. I didn't notice. NU, Dordtchild, put down the rifle. I don't need to die on the day after my birthday. OK, so maybe the day after after the day of my birthday, um, f**k.

Why is Ashtros hates all NoFaces, because I think that King Dimentio and his son did not do anything (except for pranking in a cruel way), but still, they should live!

DordtChild In reply to TheMasterAura [2011-11-15 00:12:08 +0000 UTC]
it started waaaaaaaaaaay back when the two tribes became their own. The Ghstiums actually had the NoFace as their slaves until a lone NoFace named Orion Kingstree rose up and broke his people free and had their own race. Since then the NoFace and Ghastiums are at a constant war over magic

wooow, I see, but crearly Ghastiums are more sadistics towards the NoFaces, because in your Comis I saw that they murdered an entire village in Cold Blood

DordtChild In reply to TheMasterAura [2011-11-15 00:44:01 +0000 UTC]
actually, that village was murdered because a group of Ghastium nomads were hired to do so

OMG this just reminded me... today at the First thanksgiving at Berkley plantation in VA, I saw a reanactor that looked exactaly like Ashtros! The bad thing was he saw me staring at him and said "Stop looking at me you stupid girl!!" and then he walked away.

I know you're gone for the weekend, I am going to comment though! XD And giving you the
critique you requested (because I'm always doing that). Nice job on these two, I really gotta
say that. The angle and the poses are just awsome, and I'm happy you're back to cell
shading! Not, that I didn't like the other, but you're so good at cell shading and it just looks
great! ^w^ Again, very vibrant colors, and the glowing effect just fits the dark atmosphere
somehow. And I see the "new" King Dimentio, I love the clothing a lot. Wait... Did you
redesign Ashtros, too? : D The light effects in general are ver well done, especially the
lighting around King Dimentio. The void looks pretty as always (you just can draw it, I totally
fail at it XD) The expressions rule, I can really see the anger of Dimentio there, and the Count
looks kind of gloatingly, and his grin is pure evil, wow. Hah~ What else to say? You're
improving about the poses and proportions , I recognized... But I'd be nice if you could
ask something specific, like, "What do you think about...", know what I mean? ^w^
Because I really don't want you to tell the same things over and over again. Heh, but
you know that you are awsome, so... I'm happy you enjoy your own pictures, too. We
do enjoy them more though XDD Haha. Good job, like a.l.w.a.y.s... >:3

I really love your art!it is something I look forward to everyday !lol hm I need to finish reading for when the bells toll or I think that is the name I have very bad memory...hm I have heard of cell shading but I am still fuddled on what it is...how does one cell shade?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
DordtChild In reply to nevermelticecube [2011-11-01 23:52:11 +0000 UTC]
Cell shading is basicly using a layer over your color layer that is dedicated to greys and light blues/reds on Mutiply. this will instantly give the color a darker color and overlay the color layer. Cell shading allows to shade a mass majority of areas without the need of cleaning the shadow off the background.

DordtChild In reply to TCVPITDIFan [2011-11-01 22:42:08 +0000 UTC]
I drew personas for Blumiere (Count Bleck) and Dimentio's fathers.
If you go into my gallery and look up the pencil comic series called "Blumiere's past" it will explain alot here.
As for this, this is actually a very serious peice. The void in the back and King Dimentio (the Dimmy we know's father) is trying to get Count Ashtros (Blumiere's father) to stop the void
