MC08-Tierra: you have a nice cartoon style. i'd really like to see these when they're colored. and... this is just my opinion, but just because its cartoon-styled isnt an excuse to skip out on creative details. (ie-clothing/footwear) you've still gotta give thought to all the aspects of your characters not just the parts that are seen the most. just give it some thought for future reference.
Suicide Squad: umm...heh, it made me laugh a little. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif instead of saying something mean, i'll give you a few tips...#1. when doing a group portrait make sure the character photos are the correct dimensional size(ie-jude law is a little to big for his position compared to the other characters, and also the characters should be a little more diverse with their heights i think)....#2. if you intend to keep on going with this hobbie, you are going to have to start working on images longer than a few hours to create a serious end result...#3. jessica alba's hat, if the image you've found is at the wrong angle, its okay because you're smarter than the picture, you know that you can erase the back part of the hat or cut and paste peices/shapes to give the illusion that its at an angle you want it to be...#4. blur blur blur, you can use different opacities/strengths of the tool to blend pasted images to where it now is...#5. always get rid of all the white when you cut out an image(you can zoom in)...#6. with a portrait like this where you have men and women and one or all the women are scantily clad DO NOT SHOW IT ALL. one of the most basic rules of attraction, tease, don't just show it, or give it. you gotta make the people who see your work want to see more, and admire your ability to portray this teasing with your artwork. even if you were to get into cartoon porn/hentai/fake celeb nude pics you'd still have to follow that rule if you wanted to produce work that was sexy/appealling. thats all i can come up with , good luck with future works.
The Thing: cool. nice work. good job with the shading on his body. i woulda done a few more lines/cracks myself. did you try crystallizing at all? or dont you have it in your program/programs that you're using? i think that it mighta helped, but i dont know. i havent used that tool too much.
Wolverine Rebooted Page 8: ...nice. another good one. very funny. nice ripple effect.
IRON FIST: very nice work with this one. nice background, and manip of the costume. only thing that bothers me is the logo at the top, there isnt any blue anywhere else in the image. you usually stick to having multiple instances of colors in works, its just an art rule. i woulda done like black and maybe had it so that it looked like the letterd kinda fell through the yellow/green. you get what im saying?
Batman Begins Costume: decent work on this one. i like it. only problem...with the lighting you were trying to acheive, there shouldn't be any shine on the inside of the cape under his right arm.
dawn of a bird: batman begins sequal: i'm sorry but this is just kinda weak. did it take you a whole 45 minutes to put it together? or less than that?
Leary as Doc Ido: very nice manip. but, you gotta pay attention to the lights. his face and hand are being hit from above at a slight angle, but his hat has no where near the intensity/brightness of light on it nor does his hammer. and there probably shoulda been a shadow cast on his right shoulder from his head/neck. you did do a nice job with the jacket and collar. just work on the lights/shadows.
Thunderbabes: very nice...and sexy. nice job with the hair and costumes. but, songbird and moonstone's crotches and a little too blurry. you shoulda put atleast a line for the crease between leg and crotch.
Tara Reid is Supergirl: nice. cute work. its put together quite well. nice backround. i woulda added a little more shadow on her legs right under the skirt though. the cape also needs a few shadows.
Superman 2006 Action Figures: Superman: cool idea. very original.
Daredevil: heheh, what is daredevil Sly Cooper now? i'm just messing with you. the drawing of him is nice, but with a huge spotlight on him like that i'm definitely sure that there would be more yellow on him than any other color.
AOA: Sunfire: this is pretty cool. i've always liked sunfires character with that costume. a tip for your flames i found to work nicely in photoshop is to use the smudge tool and get a small brush and just start wiggling up making my own flame whisps. it works very nicely.
The Last Tale Of The Brothers Grimm: wow. excellent work. ...is anyone else kinda turned on by this? all those rubber costumes, chains, action figures, candle-lit rooms with large stair cases, oooooo and an old woman who likes to watch. DAMN thats sexy. heheh.
(...its late)
Luthor: very very nice work. maybe i'm wrong but i kinda think that the reflection of superman on his desk would be a little higher up then just his feet. and maybe ed harris has a freakish pinky finger length, but his pinky finger in comparison to the ring finger on his left hand is a bit long.
Transformers: Blackrock's Ultimate Weapon: cool. nice work. you could've maybe added like a glow to the back of his head or even on the mics from the gi-normous screen behind him.
hope i've helped.
