[Elvish Weapons]

Really good work.

Out of interest, how do you hold number 4?

Thanks.

RussFairchild responds:

Thanks! =D Kind of like a fist weapon, or the warglaives in World of Warcraft. I thought about adding like a forearm guard that would act as shield and connect the weapon solidly with your forearm, but i'll admit...... i got lazy =( lol

[Decor]

Wow, this piece is excellent.

I'm struggling making hair, would you mind giving me a tip as to how you made her fringe look so realistic? The hair there looks brilliant.

Thanks I'm advance.

zephyo responds:

Thanks. Well think of it like flat chunks, with small brighter hairs throughout.

[Stress]

Spot on! Excellent!

A few suggestions
Saliva trickling off teeth
Red veins in the eyes
Wounds on the face caused by the fingernails

Just a thought

Thanks

[Fire godess]

Wow.

This is fantastic!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your process in creating this?

Reference photos of lava? What platform/programme do you use for your digital paintings? I really like how the lighting turned out. The hair is epic.

Thanks

Rennis5 responds:

Thank you :D
All made in paint tool sai, i did use a photo reference for the body but the hair and the colouring was free hand, i used blur tool a lot, even on the line art layer.

When i make the glow effect i usually copy and paste the layer a couple of times to increase the intensity, sometimes I blur one layer a bit more or make it luminescent, basically just play with it until it looks how you want it

[Batman]

Great pic dude,

Sorry to give you a low rating, but that's because it feels like his eyes are in the wrong position. His head looks like its a little skewed to the right

The rest of it is perfect.

Thanks.

Rennis5 responds:

Don't be sorry, the important thing is you took the time look at my artwork, rate and comment on it,
i can see what you mean about his face but to be honest i couldn't see it until you mentioned it.
I will try to keep that in mind in future drawings.
thank you :D

[Legend in Waiting]

Hey that's great!

Quick question. What programme did you use to create this gif? Is it even a gif? Usually gif format reduces picture quality. Or am I wrong?

Plus I noticed, when he throws the apple, the apple's shape changes to show it moves fast. I like that effect. Did you keep some of the old frames from the animation to get that effect?

Really good picture by the way!

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards.

CartoonCoffee responds:

I made this in Flash, and it is a gif. The picture quality is lowered hahaha glad it wasn't too noticeable though.

I did use the cycle in the original Eden episode as a reference for this animation.
Thanks for the comment!

[Dragon mounts]

Brilliant

Very creative

vinsight responds:

Thank you!

[Feeding the.....Old people]

Nice drawing

I can imagine the old people complaining to the duck saying;
"This is the wrong type of bread"
"Did you bring me any Gaviscon, this bread gives me gas!"
"Ooh my back"
