Yeah was going to mention that it looks quite Japanese because it has that Japanese dolls look to it. Never heard of those "kimmidolls" though. [QUOTE=AshMan55;34557716]geishas have white faces, maybe it could help changing that? i think i prefer the non black outlined one [editline]6th February 2012[/editline] although if it had a white face maybe the black outline would be better[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that make it a Geisha logo rather than a personal logo? Because then it wouldn't be a stylized illustration of her, but a doll instead.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;34557679]its based on these 'kimmidolls' [url]http://www.google.com.au/search?q=kimmi+dolls&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=jpcuT8rrN-27iAeQnMDDAg&biw=1051&bih=487&sei=j5cuT6yLOaKviQfYtc37Cw[/url] [editline]6th February 2012[/editline] i just realised (i didnt have a reference pic, just remembered stuff from what she showed me) the eyes are wrong. ill change those[/QUOTE] Maybe put some flowers in the hair or something, a lot of the ones you linked to seem to have them.

I don't see how it would take away from the original intention, if it still has the girl's likeness
Yeah a geisha feel, but it still needs to be of her. She's not asian or white. It's just like, doing her, but in that style. Not 'make her look asian too'. But if she comes across as a little asian that's fine, but it's not the whole purpose. Just to emulate a style for her japanese themed party.
If you're going to put a flower in the hair I suggest asking her about what her favourite flower is. If she has one.
im not sure about a flower
[QUOTE=PLing;34555822]The explosions are lacking, maybe make them brighter. I actually liked the first one with no action more, this somehow has less action even with the explosions. Also the light blue highlights don't really make sense. Metal reflects its own colour. I think the action thing has to do with leaving space for imagination. In the first pic the other mech is shooting, implying that combat is on but only the viewer's imagination is the limit how big and beautiful the explosions would be. Now you've limited that to what you've painted. Also, bit over an hour speedpaint thingy, crits are welcome. [img]http://www.1337upload.net/files/0commandoguy2.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] When doing highlights you have to think of the shape of the part you are adding a highlight to. For example his head is somewhat flat on the top and so is the neck guard and shoulders. Obviously the light source is those lights(holes to the sky?) overhead so any point facing upwards would have more direct light contact and so would have more intense lighting in those areas. That would mean brighter lines and possibly thicker outline to the point that it is part of the shape. Keeping the lines generally one intensity of color makes the man appear flat. Imagine if he was a 3d model or a paper model, he would be made of planes that would describe his shape. Then you can imagine which planes will be facing towards the light and thus have much brighter lighting and possibly thicker lines.

I thought this would be the awesomest thing, but then I realized I screwed up a lot. :P [t]http://i.imgur.com/vJOOT.jpg[/t] It's not finished, but I'm going to restart it rather than finish it. Any tips for the redo or tutorials that I should look at before I redo?
not sure whats going on

Square format really does not look that good, you might want to make it wider, or maybe higher. I like the design of the creature a lot, keep working on it man.

I think the thing that needs more attention is perspective. I'm not sure if I'm looking down into a chasm with the monster coming out of the ground at the bottom, or straight past a rock in a tunnel with the monster bursting through a wall. The scene's build suggests the large scale chasm, but the guy's balance feels waaaay to forward to be standing at the suggested angle
Thanks for the CC everybody, I'll take it to heart & apply it in the redo. :D [QUOTE=dgg;34560721]Man with a broom covers his face whilst confronting a demon with lightning bolts going around it's helmet that's casually leaning on the landscape as if it was a comfy chair whilst greeting the human with a big open smile.[/QUOTE] You, sir, are one of the few that really understand my artwork.

well one thing that catches my eye immediately is the values on the guy. his left side should be alot darker [editline]5th January 2012[/editline] really cool colours btw
