Description This is actually a pretty old pic...I think from the summer of 2007.

lets see, composition is bad, background color/darkness is bad against the characters....sigh.

I am worse in character composition than I am in perspectives @__@

just gotta start practicing more i guess...

I love all of your work, but this is without a doubt my favourite. Even if I agree with you about the background and composition, I think it's great, and I would be reeeeeally disappointed if I won't see the same one but altered (>_<

Even if it is bad it is still good by a lot of standards, but that is to be expected from such a talented artist. Eager to see these characters posted individually for a clear look at them, especially Nero, unless I totally missed them in your gallery

My only problem with this (or your style in general) is the way you do hair. I mean the styles are neat, it's just that the hair looks less like hair and more like yarn or string. A nice shine would fix that instantly methinks.

And don't beat yourself up. You're one of the top-top dA artists; you should be living in perpetual glory and gloating about it. I would.

Love the detail, love the characters, not fond of the compositions though at all :S

You have such detailed work, that when you see so many things together, most of it is lost on such a vague background.

I didn't notice the character in the back on the cross until my 3rd look c.c

I still love ya though.

monde-fou [2009-03-16 07:26:15 +0000 UTC]

its very good :]
I think the thing that bothers me most is that the girl in the background seems almost overshadowed by everyone else, especially the transparent character. The transparent man makes it a bit hard to tell where certain things are coming from [the feathers and wings].

Otherwise, I like the piece very much :] The two foreground characters are done very well.

You should do master studies of people with better composition skills than you do. That should fix whatever you feel is lack in your composition skillz!

*snort* The composition looks fine, considering this is a commercial effort instead of a personal one. *pats* Besides, the two foreground characters were done separately at first, right?

Look it this way, you're way better now and this proves you're human and you actually sucked a little more at some point of your life.

It's...some kind of relief for us people that are still in their first steps.

We never will stop growing as an artists, right? :3

Shquiggles [2009-03-16 06:22:16 +0000 UTC]

The the @#$% are you talking about?! Why do you think your art isn't good enough? Seriously though, your lack of confidence in yourself is almost annoying. Your one of the, if not thee best fantasy artist, I've ever seen. And I'm sure most of your watchers would probably agree. You shouldn't be getting down on your ability to create fantastic art. I wish I could draw half as good as you.

Tsiamon [2009-03-16 06:15:41 +0000 UTC]

I like the concept, but I think you're right, the composition is kind of wanky. If it were me, I'd take out the two 'side' characters and put more emphasis on the crucified chick and the white guy beneath her- get rid of the others, they clutter it up. Enlarge the girl in the back a bit, get a new background, and it would be much cleaner, more dramatic. If it were me, and I had time. Still love your character composition, though, and some of the ideas you have going on here.

kurichan In reply to ??? [2009-03-16 06:00:00 +0000 UTC]

Little constructive compositional thoughts:

The comp isn't THAT bad. It's kinda standard for presentation of multiple people without having said figures interacting. The way you could have maybe solved the issue is having the last character up to the upper left smaller. There's a really beautiful curve going on with the gestures of the first two from the bottom and the positioning.

Other than that? Awesome work as always. I love seeing your stuff. Your attention to detail always really impresses me, and you have really solid colors!

*relurks*

... Ok I like the characters, execpt the ghostly one, but yeah the backgroud throws a little wrench in it. Seperately the characters are Awesome! but in this perspective I see it's "off". Just remember this was 2 years ago and you have come a long way, not to mention those are just little things so don't dwell to long. AWESOME Characters!
