Nice! :D

I really like your style. Lots of detail in some parts, and very little in others, and soft and smudged in some parts but well-defined in others. I'm glad to have been of help, especially as I couldn't do stuff like that myself! :D

I'll offer a little critique again. I don't think the tree leaves should be that bright in a cloudy day, and the green is also more saturated than the other colors in your screen. They're good-looking trees, but I think they'd fit better into a different scene.


Second, black is black only in the dark. In the light, black is full of colors, usually grays but sometimes browns or blues as well. I think the rat and the rabbit would work better if they were very dark brown or red or blue, instead of black.


Not medium-gray, but a gray that's dark enough to look black at a first glance. This post doesn't have a single pure-black letter!

Thanks soooo much! :oops: :D

Thanks for the critique it really helps! Yeah maybe the trees don't fit properly... but I had NO idea of what could fill the sides. Maybe rocks? Or those cubical-granite-structures in Lugaru?

PS: sorry for my English but what do you mean by:"This post doesn't have a single pure-black letter!"??

THanks again! :D

He colored his post with colors resembling the default color to prove a point.
These are the colors he used, compare them to the original posting color.

The trees could be there, but the leaf color doesn't quite fit.

Here's a poor edit of your picture. I changed the color of the tree leaves, and made the fighters gray instead of black. The characters are really poor, but I just wanted to demonstrate the point. I'll also post the original for comparison:

More probably a problem with your computer monitor. Brightness, contrast and gamma all affect how well you can tell the differences between very bright and very dark colors, and the quality of the monitor itself, too. There are online guides for calibrating your monitor, you could check one of those.
Basically, what you see in your monitor and what I see in my monitor can be VERY different, even though if they are printed out, they look exactly the same. However, if the prints are scanned, the scans will once again look different. So it could be that the changes in the above image, which look good on my computer, look bad on yours.

Nice! It fits very well together. It also looks like Aperson has been doing lots of perspective practice, and has also learned a new trick or two with brushes. There some very nice small detail in that picture.

That picture reminds me of Assassin's Creed overly much.
Not that that's a bad thing, it just takes away from it a bit 'cos I'm thinking of that instead of the picture type of thing.

Still, it's a sweet picture. Love the rawness. Also that's some sweet depth in there.

Evenin' Everyone!

This is my first post here on the forums, my brother introduced me to this great game! I'm currently going to school for Game Design/3d Art and Animation, so I follow the blog with great interest! With alot of persausion, he also got me to do some fan art. Scribbled this up over the last hour, so its still rather unfinished. Any input would be greatly appreaciated and if anyone as a tip on how to do fur, I'll worship you!

Cheers! :)

Dude, the armor flaps are really detailed! That's really cool! Love it. Can't help you with the fur, though.
