Description this should show this time. if not, i'm gonna be a tad unhappy...

This is the kiriban I promised some 3 months ago. heh. the only thing i'm particularly unhappy with is the hair with it's highlights. by all means, please tell me how you feel i can improve. just don't point out the lack of shineys....... i almost gave up finishing up this pic more times than i care to count, and i'm mostly pleased with the end result. that said, leave critiques and criticisms on a friendly level, shall we?

Simply fantastic, a kickin' job my friend! I really feel sorry for whoever just pissed Zero off. Well, only slightly.

Fave!

Yeah, I forgot just how ready for action Zero looks here. Glad you enjoy it.

Ooooh, very nice! Very clean and all. I especially like his hair, and the green blade. (though a white/light-green shiny or two could make it pop nicely, as I think a couple people suggested. X3 )
( *has no idea who the character is* XD;;;;;; )

heh, yeah, i think you're right... i know a bit more about light and contrast now than when i first did this, though (just a 2nd quarter student). I think i'll try something like tis again, hopefully soon, as that would be sweet......

This is great Astro! I love the sword and the hair
I think that the blade should be more shiny though and you should do sopmething more interesting in the background, but it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo COOL

Now that I can actually see it, hehe...
#1 - The sword might have stood out better as a different color. The green against blue doesn't show up as well as the red and yellow.
#2 - I think he needs some legs. (I'm one to talk.) I just keep imagining that he's really short or something 'cause I can't see his legs.

Critiquy enough?

YAY! I see it!!!! It's really good, hon! I love it!! I actually like the hair, I think it looks really good. The only comment I have to make is about the blade. It looks a little.... flat. To me everything in the pic but the blade appears to come out off the page whereas the blade remains very 2D. It still remains a great pic though!

astroXLR In reply to Silvawen [2004-12-23 06:00:51 +0000 UTC]

actually, i agree with the blade..... it gave me the most grief, so i kinda gave up after a while..... so yeah, 'flat' is definately the word.

but you actually like the hair? thank you very much for the and comments/critiques.

Hehe, don't worry chick, it still looks good to me

Yeah, I like hair! (If you'll forgive me for slipping into my childish mode) it looks shiney and pettable!! Anytime, hon.

YAY I CAN FINALLY SEE IT!! that's realli good!
yeah the onli improvement could be the shading, but it looks good the way it is!

astroXLR In reply to pink-winged-angel [2004-12-22 08:51:28 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i messed it up some, but it looks ok, so i'll go with it... it would have been better if i had made the sabre stand out a bit more and treated it like a greater lightsource. aside from that, it's not bad.

ain't it grand, now everyone can see it!

CurseReaper [2004-12-22 05:23:42 +0000 UTC]

Only thing I would do is the lightsaber-effect by making the interior blade white. Other than that, it's golden.

astroXLR In reply to CurseReaper [2004-12-22 05:28:04 +0000 UTC]

ok, i'll try some experimentation with that. most of my time was spent trying to make the sabre look right, but even now i'm not especially satisfied with it. thank you for the suggestion!

thank you very much! it's a lot better now that it can be seen, am i right? do you see anything specific you think i could improve? since your art beats the crap outta mine like a hot knife through butter.... um, let's nevermind my analogy?
