Description
For all the trouble that I went through with .Rising Moon. This went a lot better
; But of course I still have my gripes lol. And yes, I did cheat XP But anyways here it is! I'm hoping both go together well enough. When I look at it, it doesn't go so well..ack >.>;
I tried to write out my little story for it. I suck at writing, don't laugh at me ;_;
Note: Ark - Under Time. Oni - Under Death.
-----------------------------------
The rising moon and the setting sun.
As time passed, the Mazoku Gods warred, and in the end the Phoenix always soared in triumph while the Dragon descended back into the dark.
Time had allied with the Phoenix. Death had allied with the Dragon.
Generations passed. The Dragon faded into the dawn and the Phoenix disappeared into the night. Death and Time, having become brothers, only had one servant each. They were to be partners, but one was better than the other. One hated the other. One simply looked to the sky.
But the Phoenix's time was at an end, though the one did not know, nor wanted to see. The one to looked to the sky, this one's time had already begun.

Heh. I saw rising moon, and had to go look at this one. I like rising moon better, but i've alway been a fan of the dark. It's still really good though ^^

i love his almost careless posture. he oozes arrogance. the shadows..folds.. *has a minor fit*
i don't think the orange-y sky blends in too much with the woodwork. going from dark to light made it stand out to me more than anything... but i'm a whore for geometric shapes (since i'm hopeless at drawing them) so they were the first thing that caught my eye anyway.

Oh wow. This is awsome :3
I think the blue stands out too much though, and I think the contrast of the blue is just...too much. It disbalances the picture
Yeah...I think Rising Moon came out better...but I still love this one. And I still love that pose and that window. The background looks INCREDIBLE. Did you do that on the computer? Whoa.

Great pic as always. I prefer the Oni pic, but only because I like blue a lot more than red. The only time I've ever seen ark was when he was weilding 2 guns and looking kinda crazy, so to see him so laid back is odd to me.
Other than those minor complaints I can't think of anything bad to point out. Once again another's amazing talent has made me look at my work and nearly cry in shame. Must... keep... practicing.

amazing backround and the colors are nice and smooth... definalty amazing

Ahh...this seems so relaxing, I wish I could be there. The contrast of the blue on the red turned out really well. Your pheonix is beautiful in design, and the shadows really give it the real life look. Muy Bien! +fav

I honestly cant see anything wrong with the picture, maybe the shadows on the clouds could be a bit darker, but it still looks amazing to me! you have such talent.

Oh I hope I didn't come off as not listening to critiques o.o;; I love them and will listen to them, sometimes follow them when needed or when feasible. I just don't take it well^^; And of course I need them! I always want to improve and critques help me do just that!

I think I will agree with Firekitty in that Ark stands out a little bit more than Oni did in her picture. I think that if you added some reds and oranges to the sky he would blend a little better with the rest of the image. I believe part of the reason why he stands out so much is because of the intense blue of his tail and eyes. Now, I am by no means saying that this is a bad picture because it's absolutely gorgeous. The coloring is wonderful and the shading is astounding. It looks to me as if you gave his red robes draping over the window sill a bit more of a shiny, slick texture. There are definitely differences in the way they look, and they seem as if they would be smooth and soft, almost like resplendent silks if you will.
You did a wonderful job on the carving of the Phoenix. It really looks like wood! I love the lattice too; it's a nice contrast to the rest of the picture.
I think there are a couple of things that you could have done though, to give this picture a little bit more character. First of all, I am going to commend you for the shading on his pants. I really liked that you shaded them with a light reddish color since he's wearing red robes. His pants are white, so obviously they'd pick up more color more easily than black for instance, or blue. I think in the places where his robes are right next to his pants, the shadows could be a little deeper, but I've already established that I have a great love of dark values, so it's just a personal preference.
I also think that the highlights on his bangs could have been a little brighter, maybe even with a hint of orange or yellow, but it's not something that's really needed.
You have some amazing talent. I always look forward to seeing more of your art. Your style is very distinct, something that can't be easily recreated.

Yeah I know he stands out >.>; But then again, Oni blends alot since she's basically a monochromatic blue and the pic is overall blue. I tried to make him more orange but it looked bad so I stopped. Then I added reds to the sky but then it blended too much with the latice and phoenix. And by then I was getting really fed up
And a thing about me is that I don't like shiny clothes, skin, or hair
And thanx to everyone for the comments and especially to those that have given me nicely thought out critiques and suggestions! I don't take them well but I really do appreciate them and the effort/time put into them!!

I never really like to crit because some people take it the wrong way, but all my comments and crits are always out of my love for the picture and/or the artist. I think a lot of people would agree with me on that as well. The crits usually end up finding their way into many of my comments anyway so I just let them come.
I'm an art student too, so I can't really help it. ^^; But your art is so good anyway you don't need to listen to anyones crits. Your use of color is wonderful, and I can't see that there's really anything to improve on concerning your skill.
As a matter of fact, I very much wish I could use color as well as you do. I can draw on paper quite well, but scanning and coloring digitally is a totally different world for me. I greatly admire your abilities.
