Description He rarely appears in the same form twice, but this is his favorite one.

No one truly knows who or what he is, but even the gods respect him.

I'm going to be like everyone else and mention that i really like how the wings turned out. However, i also like the thought of all the belts on him. The detail is nicely done....and he's pretty XD Good job!

I love the wings! Impressive detailing, and great expression on his face!

And I'm a sucker for things with more than one pair of wings, so I loved this straight away.

Beautiful detailing as always. No wonder I watch you and attempt to learn from you.

And I see now what you mean with the wings in your comment on mine.

As far as critiquing goes, though I really don't have much to say. The only thing that really seems off to me is his calf muscles, them being what appears to me thicker than his theighs. There aren't really many other things though that I beleive you can improve upon in here. But in the way of praise, I can simply say what everyone else has allready said and add it twicefold.

Right, I am a dork for not writing a comment earlier. Anyways, I love the wings. Those wings were an eye catcher for me. Gorgerous! I think I spelled that wrong. Sorry about that.
A great sense of details to the wings, clothes and hair. However, I think the arm seem short, or off in some way. I'm not sure how to describe it exactly.

I have a weak spot for ear-wings. Just thought I'd let you know. I don't see enough of them. His pointy shoes are further endearing. Your description's pretty good about him. It reveals a lot, yet makes me curious as to what secrets he's hiding.

Great detail, fairly solid anatomy (Which I won't go into because other people already have, and better than I can). I kind of wish the wings had more of an angle to them, so that one would appear closer to the viewer than the other.

One last thing: I'm jealous of your ability to render armor. The shoulder pads rock!

CheshireCat8D [2006-11-03 06:35:17 +0000 UTC]

The detail in the wings and clothing is stunning. I think the arms are too short for this body. The wrists are rather narrow compared to the size of the hands. As amazingly detailed the wings are, they don't seem to be aligned correctly. The wings look like they are directly facing the front, but his his body is turned a little to the side. In other words, the wings should be parallel to the body. His right wings would appear larger because they turned toward the viewer while the left wings will appear smaller as they are turned away from the viewer (foreshortening).

How annoying that this thing doesn't say if you accept crit's or not. Will leave that to the end, just incase you don't like crit', so can skip it.

Anyway, followed you here from the forums, so thought I might as well check some of your stuff out.

To hop on the bandwagon a bit, I think this looks really good. I love the detail you put into it all, especially the wings, hair and trousers/pants. All the lines make it look really artistic and stuff.

Crit time!
His lower arm looks a bit off; a bit small and thin, perhaps, compared to the rest of the picture. With arms, normally when a person's standing straight, the tips of their fingers reach about mid-thigh; it's a bit harder to draw when a person isn't standing straight, but if you try to make the elbows stop around the waist area, and perhaps measure the distances with your fingers or something, it might help.
Of course, that could just be because of the angle the arm is meant to be, in which case I would suggest making the wrist thicker and hand larger to make them seem closer....or something.


Good job.

I accept crits as well as any other comments Putting 'crit encouraged' tends to make a few of my watchers nervous, though.

Anyway, thank you very much! I was actually planning on making the wrist and hand bigger, but you caught a few things I didnt notice.
