Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Let me start by saying overall I like the picture. You have good proportions, and excellent textures. The clothing looks good, but I think could be better by showing more folds. This would compliment your smooth style by adding some contrast and thus giving the picture some additional layers.

I cant stop feeling like this is a picture I have seen a hundred times before. I would have liked to see some additional originality. I know this is harsh, but it just seems like something that has been done but in your style.

Let me close by saying that I also like to take a concept and put my spin on it, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I always like to end my critiques with a positive. In other pictures I have seen like this (young xmen) the toons look to be the same age as they are in the present. Your picture does not do that. The toons look like they are late teen, early 20s, and thats how it should be.

Overall Good job

I like the palette you used on this piece. It's unusual. I like when people think outside of the box. Using this pastel palette was a very cool idea!

labguyinwa [2011-02-03 07:09:49 +0000 UTC]

I'd agree. There a lot of VERY impressive brush strrokes and effects in the top in bottom but it doesnt have the same contrast as your typical stuff. Not "bad" just different.

Eddy-Swan-Colors In reply to labguyinwa [2011-02-03 09:25:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah...thats probably it. not my favorite image I've done but its seems to have gone down really well with everyone so I guess thats a success.

I think ANY work you see through is a success. This comes from a recovering procrastinator.

If this is 75%, then 100% must be Scary Good! The scary good that makes you drop to your knees and cry!!

This is beautiful my friend! I have been drooling all day! This is Wow! You opened my head, looked inside, and did exactly what I was thinking! Each character is captured perfectly, and the colors tie them together superbly. That is a special talent my friend. Great,Great work!

I havent checked the cast and roles for that yet. I fiugre they'll find them self in a bit of a ditch with patrick stewart dead and unable to play xavier.

JohnVichlenski In reply to Eddy-Swan-Colors [2011-02-03 03:48:54 +0000 UTC]

Well whoever they get, I'm not too sure about it
From what I've heard its just Kevin Bacon as the villain and a bunch of no-names

Eddy-Swan-Colors In reply to JohnVichlenski [2011-02-03 05:51:27 +0000 UTC]

lol kevin bacon? I'll go check it out... as sabastian shaw... interesting choice.

your right.. that is alot of no names.
the guy playing magneto looks like he could be a young Ian mckellen and the girl playing emma frost looks the part

wait... james Mcavoy as xavier??? and where the hell is jean gray?
