Description was nice enough to let me colour some of his lineart
This was the original version, before Cpc made some much-needed improvements on some of my lighting.

Very nice! I like the reflections, and the background is very nice too. Shadow's got an interesting expression, and I really like it.

You always portray such simple and effective coloring effects and traits unique to you. ^_^ You've done well here. The shine, glow and darkness stuff is all well done out. You've finished up an excellent addition to ~ CPC 's series, and his line art and your CG mixed well.

MechaDaHedgehog [2004-07-22 04:22:03 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, most intresting deviation. I must compliment over the use of the coloration of the scene. It really attracks the views attentention and also the expression of Shadows posture as well as his face to the surounding lab facil.

..Now for my own crit as to help you improve on this specific deviation.

Always maintain a steady and well matted prespective line of sight. As I can see within your deviation, your forground has been matted over at a very flat prespective point. Im not sure of this because of the mixed back behind the forground where Shadow is seen. Its almost as if the perspective is being warped from one line of sight and as he look back, very softly becomes a 2 point perspective... Hmm, its something that should be worked over in the next intent of a scene such as this.

o o; damn...you know if i start to sound a bit arogant... just slap me or something... Im not here to thrash your stuff... its just when I post, its generaly to help the one Im commenting to... o o; ask Marina de hedgehog or Emmy enchinda if you need to check on that XD ...

*eyes glow*

Grr, Im really liking your creativity with the scene but im really disliking shadows little mouth for some reason... XD it would be soo much better to me if it was just eye expression or a smaller mouth... Again, I dont know ...x x; Im just talking over what i feel for the deviation... and with that... Ill conclude my thoughts with...

*Metallic thumb up*

ROCK ON Umbra!
