Harsh Critiques! Please

Think of it as constructive criticism instead of harsh criticism. :wink:

'Yousuck' is correct...most of your drawings have a 'cookiecutter' look to them, so you might try doing as he says. Try varying your poses a bit more...when you do drawings outside of your normal three-quarter front view (like the drawing LV used for the Avatar to your gallery), which for a lot of people is outside their 'comfort zone', some wonderful things emerge. Try some more 'intermediate' inflations, instead of the full-blown stuff...when I do that, it forces me to pay more attention to body construction and anatomic detail. Try some inflation sequences, they can be good learning tools. Do a sequence where you show the inflatees face only...where you can practice with some varying emotional content with the characters facial expression.

That's just some things that helped me come along in my style. Oh yea...try some different drawing styles...like do a drawing using pencil only or scanning and colorizing a rough sketch. Some times rough, unfinished sketches can have a lot of cool things happening in them. Keep looking at what other people are doing and use a keen eye to pick up little detail things here and there.

Above all, don't get frustrated and draw, draw, draw in every spare moment!

Hope you can glean something useful from all that crap! :D

where can I see this game?

I believe the "game" he is referring to is not an actual game, but rather his talents. e.g. "I got game". They don't teach that across the pond. :)

As for critique... I like your general style, but I think your inflated characters are too "lumpy". If they are supposed to be portraying WG, then I can understand, but if it's air/water, I imagine the skin should be pretty rigid. But then again, I'm a complete hack when it comes to drawing and critiquing art, so take that for what you will.

Like what was said, I agree that a lot of the pics look alike. Just try different poses or angles. Or possibly a different form of inflation.

EDIT: While I'm here, can I get a harsh critique or sugestions on my stuff? I don't know if I have enough to show though. Any bit of info or tips helps. I don't care how harsh. I'll take no offense.

Cali: Who the hell are you? I don't reconise your name. What timezone you in? I'm on Centeral and I'm on AIM from 12PM to 12AM (Noon to midnight). And which site you talking about? I have a couple.

Or are you talking to Arcanumbot? (if you are, forget what I said. Thats the problem when you use shortened names)

Arcanumbot: I agree with what everyone here as said, variation, you need a little in your work.
