I didn't see a UIR for today's update anywhere, so...
Arch Enemies: Part Twelve by Junkyard
"I... think so. Yeah." Heh. A damn fun ending to a damn fun series. Certainly your funniest work ever, kudos. It's an anti-climax, but that anti-climax works perfectly, somehow. What was that about a sequel? (I know, I know, "read the thread" -- it was a rhetorical question!)
Shadowcat by Majik1387
Not bad, you've improved a lot since your debut. The belt and shirt are nice. It's all really blobby and ill-defined, though, you need to work on making your pics sharper and better defined. That's certainly the biggest weakness in your work. Also, proper art notes would not go amiss.
Jetta by MaidenRaine1300
Nice for Paint, as usual. Fun to see more Jem pics. Uh... That's about it. There's not really much I can say about this that hasn't been said at length about your other work.
Batman by spi
Very nice drawing. Cool cape. The perspective on the legs seems a bit weird, as is the anatomy/musculature here and there. It's still a way better drawing than I could do, of course.
Supergirl 2004 by NightScroller
Art notes please. The skirt's really blurry, and the S doesn't conform to the shape of her chest.
So It Begins... by Sonic1002
Yeesh, three pieces all using the new Bat-pic? A bit much, surely... Anyway, good pic. Nice background, I like the cityscape. Cool colours. The logo in the bat signal should probably conform to the shape of the clouds, though that would likely be easier said than done.
Term 2 In Gotham by eceDrihten
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's funny cause it's true. *ahem* Sorry. Political commentary? Where? I know no political commentary. Good piece. The dummy's face is really nice, particulary for something done from scratch. The hair doesn't blend in particularly well, but for a ventriloquist's dummy, that kinda works. The lighting's nice, though it all looks a bit, I dunno, hazy. I get the impression it would look better if the shadows were all a bit sharper.
Captain Britain by Ecthelion
Good piece. Nice colours, and a really nice background. There's some problems with the Poser, his shoulders are huge and his arms miniscule in comparison. Also, some minor costuming nitpicks -- the positions of the flag-bits (for lack of a better description) on his cowl don't quite match one another, the hole for his mouth's asymmetric as well, and the edge of the glove on his left hand should curve more. I'd also put more shading (ie, shadows and highlights) into his costume, it's a bit flat. Don't mind my nitpicks though, this is a good pic.
50s Batman Begins by kman
Welcome to the DCG! Another pic using the same photo, yay. Good recolour, nice job doing the grin.
Batman Begins Desktop by oorat
Welcome to the DCG! And another one. Good collage, though the layout's a bit cluttered. Nice lighting adjustments on the various photos, when it comes to lighting for movie posters, uniformity is a definite virtue. Mind you, the intensity of the lighting varies drastically.
Iron-man by ali786
Hmm. Very nice piece. Admittedly, the metal's only so-so... it needs far sharper contrasts and more highlights. But the mood and lighting of the pic more than make up for that. His face looks great, some of your best work. The lighting there is just gorgeous. Mind you, the ears are way too high up. Aside from my earlier comment about the metal effect, I like the armour. The light on his chest unit is really well done, and I like the helmet as well, though the face is kinda blurry. Really good piece overall!
Bats by pwhitrow
Welcome to the DCG! Very nice drawing. I think I like Robin better overall, though I'm unsure as to why. Nice cape on Bats. And, damn, you can draw hands! What I wouldn't give to be able to draw hands... Nitpicks (besides the one you point out): Bats' arms, especially the right one, are really small; and Robin's hairline seems a bit too high. Otherwise, this is gold. I look forward to seeing the sketches you're doing now rather than several years ago.
Superman: The Movie by effektdmentality
Good frankensteining and recolours. The armour and cape look good. Nice shading on the S as well. His face is okay, though the skin tone's a bit too yellow in comparison to the hands. And he would appear to be wearing lipstick! And speaking of the hands, they're really blocky, the knuckles should be better defined.
Electra by the uatus
Welcome to the DCG. Not a bad debut, though the costuming is really, really blurry. And pixelly to boot. I like the lighting of the piece, though.
Losh: Cosmic Boy by kev_incal
I don't believe it. An awesome manip from our Mr. Leung. Next thing you know, the sky will turn out to be blue. This is shaping up to be another great series. I like the backgrounds you've picked for it. Great colours in the costume, particularly the blacks. And a very cool power effect. Not really your best work, but very, very cool nonetheless. And yeah, I'm looking forward to the Waid/Kitson LSH. Anyway, I don't really have any problems with this one. Keep the goodness coming!
Blue And Gold by bearbot
Nice piece. Nice work on both sets of goggles, they look really good. Good costuming, though Booster Gold's wristbands and collar look a bit blurry in comparison to the rest of him. And Blue Beetle's belt buckle, conversely looks too sharp. My only other nitpick is that the background is rather generic.
