WOW....I love this piece. +fav for sure.

Wows. There is so much depth in this - BEAT THAT HEARTLESS! (yes, I know it's not a Heartless but still

Yeahhhh, the resemblence can't be avoided, huh? ^^ Given how diverse the Heartless race already was in the first game, I wouldn't be surprised if they cornered the market on every monster design that just happens to be shadowy + sports glowy eyes.
My only regret is I wasn't able to flip the image horizontally (because we read images left to right, subconsciously at least) - two of the characters have asymmetrical designs and I wasn't about to compromise that.

Heh. Whenever someone hands me a graphic novel or something I'm always like, "Which way do I read it?" I did that with a book once and the person looked at me and said, "Well here, in ENGLAND, we lead left to right!" Not a Japan fan clearly

You know you've been reading TOO much manga when, not only do you want to read right to left, but you want all the speech bubbles to be taller rather than wider.

It's like opening a can and OHMYGODRAIFUISWANDAFURU @0@!!
Some stronger reflected light might pop the forms a smooch better, like sword mang's legs in front~

Ahaha, yeah the values do suck. XD The only reason I haven't changed it yet is because I'm working off my laptop which is *super* backlit. As soon as I get my desktop going again, I'll have a clear idea of what everyone else is seeing.
Dahhh, the sword mang ISH WO-MANG. ::really not sure where he's confusing people on this:: >.0

Ummmm....Defined hands, flat-ish hair, shoulders (at first glance) seem wider than the hips? That's what strikes me first~
Backlit screen + DigiPaint = ;A;
It is true~

HOLY FUCK ON A FUCKING FUCK SANDWICH THAT RECOVERS 15% OF YOUR HIT POINTS.
Seriously, I was already goin' all o_o upon just seeing the -thumbnail- ... and ... yeah ... just ... WOW. This is completely and totally GNARLY. (And I dunno how much more than thaaat I can say, since it's VAST MAJORITY-ly been said before me.
I love how Senel's going SPROOOIIIIINGGGG! to deliver the ass-kickery.

Wow, impressive. it makes me think of one of my own work [link] a battle vs a water elemental. But yours is a lot more better, colored and awsome

Dude, that doth be teh awesomeness, roxxor and out-rage-ously cool pic ever O_o
*showers you with cookies for great job*

I hate that I can never do comments for great pieces like this justice since I have no technical skill, but I do believe I will sing your praises anyway.
I am absolutely enthralled by the "Sea of Rage". Your monster is just so... fearsome and that sweeping arm to crush the heroes is wonderfully rendered. CRUSH! CRUSH! CRUSH! And I like how the fighters' designs are a mix between the eras past and present, though you may have not intended it. The lack of facial features really brings the attention to the piece as a whole, rather than focusing on just the creature or heroes. And I like that.

Oh thanks~! Could not have asked for nicer, more insightful words on this piece.

I really like the movement in the beast's arms. The texture in the water on the floor is good too.
I can't help but think that taking a sword to fight a water creature seems a bit stupid. And her hat looks positively gravity defying. The back girls shoes look oddly big too.
But damn impressive, obviously.
π: 0 β©: 1
......the girl in the back you speak of is a boy. O.o (not that it's fair since they designed him plenty girly). Big shoes for performing mean kicks ...and um extreme forelengthening? Yeah.
π: 0 β©: 0
Is impressive, and my attention was such to the chars at right that I did not figured out the big one at right... it also looks quite hiding in the shadows... and the details, like the walls and so, are quite defining the mood of a death-and-life fight ^^ Awesome!

WOW! I didn't realize this was ToL until i looked at the picture closely!
π: 0 β©: 0
Whoa.... This. Is. COMPLETELY. BAD. ASS!
Senel, Jay, and Chloe all teaming up of the ToL's final boss. What a cool picture. This would drive all tales fans mad!
π: 0 β©: 1
That's the tough part about being an Iron Eren; you pretty much have to charge straight into the enemy sometimes. ;D
(Ah well. Tales fans are picky about what they like. And by picky I mean they always just ignore Legendia. 
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I meant, tales fans would like it. I do hear that recent tale games wise, Legendia is the least liked, but not hated. I personally liked it. I only played Phantasia, Abyss, and Legendia. Always wanted to play Symphonia, Destiny, and Rebirth though. May get to play Vesperia, if it comes to PS3 one day.

This is really nice, I can see all the effort you put into it. But the white highlights just bug the absolute shite out of me. xD; Only shiny (oily, steely, wet) things have white on them. Everything else is its own colour, because that's the colour it reflects under light.
The soft brush you used for water spray and what's coming down the walls makes it look like dust, not water. At the bottom where you've used a texture, it looks much, much better.
The dude jumping in the middle doesn't appear to be jumping at the sea monster, he feels inbetween the monster and the foreground guy. Is that intended? Something is pushing the monster into the background very well - probably the blurring. Jumping dude is too sharply painted, or maybe he needs less colour on him to push him back a bit. Conversely the monster could be made clearer.
The glass roof is well done, trying to draw that myself would have broken my brain. x__X
I like your little logo/signature. xD;
To be honest I was waiting for somebody else to critique, but it wasn't happening. I get the idea that you get plenty of crit from your school though. Sorry if it's a bit much.
π: 0 β©: 1
GAH! So many mistakes. 
Bleh, I just hope you know all those things that were bugging you now were bugging me for hours and hours at a time too. So nyah.
at least allow me to defend myself... XD
The intense, white rim-light is something called "God Lighting". It's considered do-able if you're dealing with a whiter-than-white light source that negates the local color of the lit subject matter.
The water coming down the the BG isn't important, so I tried to breeze through that (and if it were dust, it wouldn't fall so quickly down, but rather dissipate in cloud form)
The dude (Senel) jumping in the middle used to be MUCH worse off because I wasn't putting enough atmospheric perspective on him then.
The foreground guy is a girl (Chloe).
The monster... yeah, I'm working off an existing design (and a really vague one at that). I tried to give it a lot of unrealistic rimlighting (which I'm sure you spotted) just so it'd stand out from the BG at all.
The glass roof is a photo I imported and tweaked. XD;;; But I could have easily spent the extra 4 hours drawing it from scratch. ~.~
....haha. I'm glad my sig is winning people over (including my super-critical older brother) XD
*shrug* Hey, it's HARSH, BRUTAL, COLD-HEARTED criticism (such as your's) that got me as far as I have. ^_^; So... thanks~!
π: 0 β©: 1
Weeeeell even a professional who'd been working for years would have some problems (surely) with a picture of this scope. A girl? I thought she looked a bit odd for a boy. The roof photo blends in really well. xD
I don't like giving out brutal criticism :C It's earned me too many bitchings. And I never get any myself... ugh, I just wish I had the time to try making pictures at all any more. The game art course I'm in is dropping a lot of its old 2D parts (like.. life drawing) in favour of more 3D practice. Which is good for most people in the course, but not me. Not that I don't enjoy it. It just eats up all my time.
That light still bugs me despite your explanation, though. I'm sure it's a composition/overall contrast thing, but I can't say because I know crap-all about it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, as far as the standards of my school go, you went about it the right way (i.e. explaining what you liked first before pointing out what could still be fixed and why) 
(.........which kinda makes me wonder how well a certain young Canadian artist would ever fare in the job market... XD XD XD)
I say just be yourself (or at least a nicer version of yourself) and people will appreciate you most for that.

A lot of people on dA are just pansies I guess. >> *wonders who the person is*
If I have nothing good to say (to accompany my prodding), I say nothing at all. Which sounds right, and common sense, but then I think of all the pictures that I look at that I don't comment on, and I feel like an awful person. x: Not that I don't like anything. I'm just lazy and need to cut down my watch list.
π: 0 β©: 1
Errr..... I was talking about TechnoRanma......?
Yeah. I'm overdue on 400+ drawings already (with the artists of said 400 pics giving me nice comments all the time on my work and journal entries...) XD;;;
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh? 
I just keep remembering that one contortion fetish artist flipping out and threatening to sue because somebody did a tiny little paintover as a critique. I see that happening on art forums all the time, it seems like a normal industry practice (between artists) so it just made her look really touchy and unaccepting of good advice.
π: 0 β©: 1
She's... still drawing Beyblade stuff (guess which pairings XD)
Ohoho. We were just talking about blacklisting today at work. 
It wouldn't be so scary if only I'd at least know when I'd be screwing up or not. @_@;
On a side note, creepy fetish artists being bitchy = HUMOR. Y'know, because they have so much to be proud of... XD;

Well, saying who you did a particular work for seems a given, since the concept of the work isn't always yours... there are people who claim the whole thing? xD Wow. I'd have thought letting people know who you worked for previously would only help you.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think as far as not telling people exactly who you were dealing with is a matter of waiting until the so-called confidentiality agreement (which can last as long as 3 years) is lifted. i.e. If you're working on a highly classified project and aren't allowed to leak information about it ...in other words- so that the parent company can maximize its own profits at your expense.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I did mean after the NDA had been lifted. xD A lot of games stop the NDA just before release.. heck, I've seen concept art uploaded here on dA from somebody who does work for Lord of the Rings Online... I'm sure some of it is for content they haven't even released yet.

Requesting permission to hate your guts for the envy I hold toward your digital art godliness. *shot*
Seriously, this is great. How on earth do you and other people manage to create stuff this good? The best I can do with digital is a half-arsed (shading wise) portrait of Tear about to molest Luke -_-;
Ah, well, ignore my ranting. Did you use Photoshop for this? I'm in a computer graphics class that teaches Photoshop ...
π: 0 β©: 1
The best answer I can give is that I attend an art school where the competition (i.e. my classmates) is SO FREAKING GOOD that I force myself to get better, or face become a joke in the eyes of my teachers and peers. XD;;;
Yeah, this was done from beginning to end in Photoshop.
π: 0 β©: 1
My sister goes to an art school. Yeah, Photoshop is one of those magical programs that take some time to harness properly.

Wow, beautiful work!
The values seem sorta on the darker side, but nonetheless; keep it up! yeaaaaaaah!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, you'd think with all that water there would be more bounce light... but, um, ummm, it's dark, EVIL water, you see...! So dark and evil it sucks up light, yeah...!!! XD;
(nah, thanks for pointing that out; fixed it a little)

Wait, you fought the ocean in Legendia? *so confused* XD
Still muy awesome. Jay, Senel, and Jay came out great!
π: 0 β©: 1
Err.. Jay, Senel, and Chloe. XD

Okay. I was wondering for a moment there. XD;
(Yes. As one of my friends puts it: "You get to PUNCH THE SEA. RIGHT IN THE FACE.")

I'm not complaining; made a unique concept for a piece

Man... I think this is proof that I really don't listen to you enough.

'eeey, no worries, Shin. 
I'll try to get back online more often - right about the same time you're freed from school - and sure enough eeeeverything will be as it should be ....ah-gain. ;D

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
DUDE
THAT'S HELLA SWEET!!!
You really picked some sweet textures, man! The water going across the bottom looks tight. Everything gives off the final battle vibe!!
The second I opened this page, the Beach Boys started up on iTunes.
"Oh if everybody had an oceannnnnn...
Across the USAyyyyyyyyyy........"

O U. And your beach bum ways...
It's too bad you can't win friends with Legendia. XD; Final Boss Battle pic of Symphonia or Abyss? = SCARY AMOUNTS OF OVERNIGHT FAN-LOVE.
