holy!... you're good. I LOVE that hair! You have some nice chunky tendrils and 'sections' which is good, and realistic. Gorgeous work on the anatomy and colouring too!
Advanced crit encouraged... hmm actually I'm hard pressed to really think of much. One thing that I can see is the eye, maybe could do with a little more definition along the bottom rim... I know the skin is pale and the eye is blue, but it just reads a tiny bit awkwardly. A very small bit of darker pink along that bottom rim might just have polished it up.

I am picking though. This is beautiful

thankyou so much!!
Ive been trying to improve on getting those sections of hair, and I think its finally paying off
And I'll definately give that a go, the eye has bothered me from the beginning, normally I spend ages on the eye, but I started to get bored and focused more on the hair and body =/ I might go back soon and add some more detail
and thanks again!

yeah sadly with hair there is rarely a quick-fix... just have to bite the bullet and take your time over it! It does pay off though!
no problem !

You should seriously think about submitting your digitals to ImagineFX [link] - it's a fantasy and scifi digital art magazine I often read. I think you'd blitz some of the people already featured!

I really like the painterly quality of this, its very lush and velvety. The only thing that looks a little.. not right, is the eye? Maybe if you gave it some lashes it would look a little less cartoony, and maybe put in a little shadow to pop out the ridge near the eye socket? I think a little more contrast near the eye would balance a little more, because right now the focal point is his butt

But it's amazing nonetheless! I wish I had that kind of patience XD

I love the canvas quality you worked into the background, how'd you do that? D:

Gaurdianax In reply to syberdine [2009-01-09 04:47:44 +0000 UTC]

wow really?? Ive seen that magazine around, thats quite a compliment that you think im good enough to be featured!! o.O
I agree with you about the eye, normally I spend a fair bit of time on the eye, but to be honest I ran into an art block about half way through, and the details I planned on going back and fixing...i just left XD and LOL i agree with you there, the focal points sure is his butt, maybe I will go back and make a few changes (especially the one about the shadow on the eye, thanks!!)
and thankyou again!!
I used a very light texture on the background, set to something like 4% opacity. Unfortunately ive lost the original link and only have the .jpg file. But you can find heaps of textures like that around the place, just search for canvas textures etc

lol ok, will do, but you should try getting into digital! its pretty fun, though, id hate to see the digital take over the lovely pencil drawings in your gallery!

syberdine In reply to Gaurdianax [2009-01-17 14:31:25 +0000 UTC]

I have to admit, I really don't know where to start in digital! Block and gradient colour I can do, but these proper paintings my mind can't fathom.. I think it's the underpaintings that stump me. Though I really dig my traditional roots, digital is definitely something I'd love to explore... if I can get started <__< I'll just have to look at more of your awesome gallery for insight

yeh give it a go, it took me ages (and is still taking me ages XD) to be able to get to the painterly look. It just takes practise i guess.
aww thanks hun
