Description So I finally finished watching Gurren Lagann a week or so ago, and I've had something like this cooking in the ol' brainsack for a while...

But I'm not really happy with it. From a distance, it looks rockin', but up close, there are a lot of little flaws that I couldn't figure out. But maybe I can explain that away with the ol' "all I did was a pen sketch, took a picture of that, then GIMP'd it into oblivion" excuse.

...Or maybe not.

ANYWAY

What's REALLY important here is that everyone who looks at this is now contractually obligated to watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It's amazing. You won't be disappointed.

RAW RAW FIGHT THE POWER!

EDIT - It's a bit sharper now (not ideal, I know), and a little tweaking was done with the eyes.

Ok, so you're always critiqueing my stuff, right? :teaseing:

Well here's mine, I love your colors and your presention!! Great job on this peice. The only thing is, I do wish it was a little sharper! That lime green in the text and the background, as well as, the purple really "pops". I just think it would be a little more explosive if it was a little sharper.

It bugs me too. I really hate it because of that. But I have no idea how I'd go about getting it sharper at this point, so...call it a learning experience.

Though I wouldn't have had that problem if I didn't have to get the silhouette in the PC through a camera, then repeatedly apply cartoon filters and high contrast to it until it was just pure black and white. That really messed with the sharpness.

Thanks though. Good to see you've got critical eye too.

I always look forward to your critiques (pressure's on now buddy).

So how could I not say something about your stuff!

BTW, I'm still working my way through the recent deviations that have been uploaded by artists that I watch. I know you uploaded a Starfox one. I looked at it breifly when I was at work, it looked pretty awesome.
