Description *** Sorry for the repost, gang. I just wasn't feeling Starfire's hands, so I went back and defined it a bit more.***

I was going for a simple background. I wanted the focus to stay on the action...

Hope ya'll digs the final product....

Argh! You add so much life and creativity to these characters! I can't help but feel that if this job were in anyone elses hands you would just see some generic action scene with un-dynamic colours... But with people like you in the comics scene the medium of comics is really achieving its potential. Thank you for making so much more than just another comic related xerox.

BTW, love your colours, as usual.

Dude! This is way tripped out! I love how everything just seems so soft and seems to flow in this. The simple lines and the muted colors really help create a certain mood I think you were trying to go for. To top it off I think that the simple backround really works for this. It brings down more attention to the charaters and what they are doing, and slowly brings your eye from left to right.

Hats off to you my friend. +fav.

Chris-Supernerd In reply to ??? [2004-09-15 22:40:41 +0000 UTC]

thats the coolest teen titans fanpic I have ever seen. They should put this on a DVD

I'm not sure how to go about critiquing this, the color definetely goes along with the style (more shades or highlights would make the pic more 'restricted', know what I mean?), the lineart is GREAT, and the background (or lack of it) makes the pic all the more interesting. I would however had made cyborgs hand appear just a little behind the shoulder instead of under his torso because I didnt know what was going on with him and the paper (I thought his arms just extended/he had a grappling hook), I would make the beam more defined (no spray edges), or maybe more transparent, or transparent on the inside, or outside (whichever).

koosh-llama In reply to ??? [2004-09-15 19:41:32 +0000 UTC]

First off, i've gotta say that's the greatest Raven ever

as to critique...
i'd darken up your dark areas. This seems to be one of the only critiques i give you, but i'm a freakin' dark area WHORE. styalistically, i've noticed you stick to the lighter, softer tones in your stuff and it's awsome. but then here, when you stick those blacks into cyborg, it does wierd things to the composition.. my eye goes straight from starfire (whose surrounded by negative space) to cyborg who's got the deepest blacks in the picture. if you darken the tree in the foreground that could act more like a framing element for the "kids", as well as balance out the bright white on the other side. then, if you add to the darks on raven (just a bit), that could make a sort of visual check point and help to make her stand out as much as the rest of them (you know, other than the fact that she's on a giant turtle ). it would also help her stand out against that pickett fence, which she seems to kind of blend into(i think it's the shade of her cape that does it, mostly).

also, not so much a critique, but... what the hell is the turtle staring at???

but man, the teen titans have never looked more appealing then they do here. i can't STAND what cartoon network's doing with them and the original comic's... funky. awsome stuff man.

That is awesomely cracked. As in like wickedly twisted. Or something. Very abstract. Lovely fence shadowing, and the unconventional design pulls the viewer in. Crap aaaand I love the girl-person-at-front who's-name-i-forgot's expression. X3

PunkDame [2004-09-15 19:10:49 +0000 UTC]

this is awesome. there was only a slight bit of confusion when viewing this. at first, for whatever reason, i didn't realize that the cart was going around the corner, therefore the papers look like a BG high-rise building or something. and about the minimal BG, I dig it, but i can't help and feel the need for it to extend a little farther on the right side, or maybe extend the shadows of the fence, something, anything to make the last character on the edge coexist in the same space. and one last thing, what is the turtle being hypnotized by??? ok, anyway, this is great.

I am a bit confused by the stack of papers. Are they on the cart? They seem to be behind the picket fence. Can ya help me out?

Other than that, I really like the colors and mood.

Duffzilla In reply to ??? [2004-09-15 18:34:47 +0000 UTC]

excellent colours, the shadows are very atmospheric and strong, kinda like evening sunshine. The 'throw' pose over on the left hand side is really dynamic. Looks excellent to me.
I know you're going for the simple BG but personally I would've liked to see the BG colour stretch over to the right more, or something with colour on the right to kind of frame the whole composition because it kind of feels to me like they're walking off the page or into nothing. Y'know? It's a small gripe and I can't complain at all about the line-art and colouring, I can't even touch that style no matter how hard I try.
Excellent work, the hypnotised turtle is a personal favourite from this pic

Now that looks a whole lot better. Never doubted your cel shading colors for a moment. What can I say? You da man, supaman!

Yet, I still can't figure out what it is that's hanging on the end of that fishing rod. Maybe if I watched teen titans more often I could figure it out. Hmm.

Anyways keep up the excellent work
