[Joyful Chaos]

Nice effect, but the structure is off..

The colours are alright. It has that sorta thermal camera look to it, which is fine, but it needs a bit more structure if you're gonna use that effect.

I think that the bits of red are too small and spread apart too much..You would have been better off with 3 or 4 large patches. There isn't enough blue to make it worthwhile either..

Maybe you should try doing something figurative in that style

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

Well, you are right mostly. Thanks for that.

[The Eye]

A bit muc..

As with most of your work, it looks much nicer in full size, but it still doesn't look quite as nice as your other pieces, in my opinion. It looks like you got a picture of an eye and just put loads of filters on it. I'm sure you didn't do that, but it just creates that illusion.

The colours are a bit much too..Maybe just stick with 2 or 3 colours, rather than the full spectrum.

I really like the contour line effect though, it's very effective and interesting.

HeavyTank responds:

I respect your opinion..

[Biological Catastrophe]

Epic.

I absolutely love pretty much everything about this. The detail is fantastic, and the colours are really nice. It certainly feels like some form of bacteria..I can imagine it'd be wonderful if you it was animated, but that'd be really hard. It'd be amazing if it was blown up to like 10 foot long and hung on a wall too.

The M shape kinda makes it look like some logo for an evil Bond villain or something.

I'm not gonna give you a full 10/10 because the shape isn't quite symmetrical., which would have been nice.

HeavyTank responds:

Ah, l should've removed the M shape..

[Black Desert]

Nice textures.

As an abstract piece, I don't feel it needs interpretation. It does not represent anything in life, but merely emotions or thoughts.

The thing that strikes me most about this are the textures, both in small size, and full size. This just adds an interesting dimension to it.

The colours used are decent enough, but a little generic and bland.

My only other complaint is that the a lot of it looks like it was done using the spraypaint tool in MSPaint.

HeavyTank responds:

Heh, thanks for your review...and no, l didn't use MS paint.

[Pyscadellic Birds]

Image quality is bad.

I quite like the background, with its psychedelic thermal camera effect. However, I'm not too keen on the scaly bit in the bottom right, it just draws you away from the subject (the birds).

The quality of the image is quite poor, too. The Art Portal will accept PNG images, which is much better quality, so maybe do that in future.

The plants on the edge don't really make sense, but I think the picture would look bare without them. Good job putting them there.

The birds themselves are good too. I like the fact you've used silhouette, as anything else wouldn't have worked at all.

TheThinWhale responds:

Thanks, that was well thought out. that scaly bit in the corner looked good before I changed it's color :I

[Cliff Top Perch]

No major complaints this time :D

Unlike most of my reviews for your art, I actually like the colours here, they work well together. Maybe the dragon could have a been a bit lighter, just to make it more central to the picture. However, if you were the doing it with charcoal, you probably didn't have a wide range of colour.

I really like the texture you've created with the charcoal. It makes it feel much more realistic.

I'm finding it very hard to find an issue with the actual anatomy of the dragon, but if I must say something, maybe move the far leg on the right of the picture a bit forward, and the one in front of it could be a bit thinner...

Over than a few tiny issues, it's excellent.

EchoRun responds:

Woot! An agreement on colour! *happy dance* ;)

The colour range for the tinted charcoal set was thus: Chalk for highlights, that earthy yellowish tone on some of the scales, and 22 additional shades of Dark (the purpleish shade here is one of the 'strong' colours). I knew when I was getting it that this was going to be a test in subtlety, but I think I underestimated it somewhat. lol

I would have liked to tweak those legs when I did it, but I honestly had no idea how to redo or go over my existing work at the time. I may have some ideas now, but I have yet to test them. So, aside from a couple of alterations to the original sketch, this was all done without corrections.

Thanks for the review. :)

[Blue Eyed Dragon]

Woah.

Wow. The background is amazing. I love the detail on it, and the texture on it is great too..

The actual dragon is pretty good, and once again I love the texture and attention to detail. However, the dragon looks a bit like a cat, which doesn't really work. There's also something about the perspective which is off..

I always criticise you on your colour choice, but here it's better. The only thing is the blue. It just doesn't work with the colour scheme. I think some shade of brown woould have been better.

[Review Request Club]

EchoRun responds:

Ah, that colour scheme again... It's all a matter of contrasts really. Contrasting colours make each other stand out. Blue and orange contrast. So do the purple hints in the frills contrast with the green plants. I went with blue here (and the purple flecks) to do just that - make this stand out. If I had made it brown, a colour very close to orange, the dominant colour in this picture, then it would have become flat (believe me, I test this when I make them - I like to play around with colour balance).

Contrasts can be a matter of personal preference though. A few like them in huge amounts, most like them only if used in moderation, while others just don't get on with them unless used very subtly. I like them when used as highlights, and I do make use of it a lot. You seem to prefer an Analogous colour scheme; colours that sit next to each other on the colour wheel (red, red-orange and orange for example). That's fine, but unfortunately it does create quite a clash in our art tastes!

[Why So Serious?]

Not the Joker..

Well, this is a subject that has been completely worn out, but never mind.

I like the sketchy style. It suits the Joker's menacing persona. The shading is quite simple, but nice.

Because you based this piece on yourself, it doesn't look much like the Joker. The nose looks like a pig's. I know that's the angle, but it's still true..Lips are usually hard to do, but you've done this very well. Good job on that!

Overall, it's very nice, but not really the Joker.

Viridis responds:

Thank YAW <3

[may I take yours?]

I like the head.

The head has been done really well. I like the sketchy style of it. It looks like you've taken a lot of time here, but given up on the rest of it.

Try not to use generic MSPaint shapes so much. One example of this is the speech bubble. It would look better if you had drawn it freehand.

The colours are quite nice.. One thing that strikes me is that you never colour your characters. There's nothing wrong with that, but why do you do it?

Overall, I think you just need to get a new art program and spend a bit more time on your art.

Silent-G responds:

I gave up on the rest of it because I only cared about his face. I mean, honestly, who wants to look at an old man's naked body in the hot desert? do you? because I think that makes you a bit gay, which is okay, but you might want to let your friends and family know so they stop trying to find women for you to date. I actually did draw the speech bubble in free hand, my hands are just good like that. I don't like to color my characters because they are ugly and not to mention it might be a bit racialist. Overall, I think you just need to come out of the closet and spend a bit more personal time with yourself. thanks for the review.

[help me out]

Cluttered.

It looks like its trying to be really psychadelic, but it isn't really working.

I like the top bit with the textured effect, but it just splits the picture in half.

I'm not too keen on the shades of green and blue that you used. They're too generic and boring. Try to find more interesting shades of colour.

I also don't like how you've coloured in the holes in the text, it looks childish and cluttered.

Nothing really makes any sense. It just looks like you've taken some random text, and drawn a picture completely unrelated.

[Review Request Club]

Silent-G responds:

things rarely make much sense, and then I try to draw them, and then people like you don't understand them, and then you tell me how much you hate things that you can't understand, and then I let you know what's up, and then you're man is all over my girl sayin all like 'wut up lemme fuck yer butt hole' and then I'm like bitch fuck you, and before you know it there's milk all over the floor and what then? huh? what then you fucking bitch!? thanks for the review.
