That was one of the problems, the other one was more of a personal problem

You've got come nice suggestions of form going on with the body, but you really fell flat with the teeth, looks like you drew them symbolically with no effort at all. Also, more values, most of him is white. Bump up the darks under his gills and so on, and add shading (I would suggest smooth shading rather than line shading) around the rest of him. Pick a light source if you haven't already done so.

Well, that shirt was on shepard tees but since they're going to shut down I submitted them to the usual shirts sites, so if you can, give it a vote?

This is pretty damn cool, I'll buy one if it gets enough votes or whatever they do there
I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but here's a piece that I made for studio art.

I'm looking for some constructive criticism on an attempted horror short story I've tried writing. I can't think of any other place to post this than here. I know writing is kind of frowned upon in this thread but I really would like to become a better writer, even if it doesn't take me anywhere.
[quote]In countries such as Japan where real estate prices are high, it is not unusual to find young couples who will work at opposite times of the day in order to make ends meet. It is 10:30 at night in the outskirts of Tokyo, when a young woman sits down to work at her computer. She helps with the online customer chat service for a small fashion company her mother manages. Her husband has been out most of the day working as a junior executive in a marketing firm nearly an hour away in the heart of the city, but he is due back any minute. He has had to work overtime lately because he recently took off time in order to recover from the flu.
She doesn't hear the key in the lock until near midnight. Because the husband is respectful of his wives' work, he merely knocks on the door to signify his arrival. Often he will utter a few words but tonight he is apparently too tired and she hears him quietly shuffle to their shared bedroom. She wishes they could spend more time together, but understands that this cluttered lifestyle will lead to a more comfortable life in the future.
She finally sees the message box appear which notifies her that her replacement has just logged online. She turns to the clock and is surprised to find that it is only 9 A.M. That would mean only hours have passed instead of the days it actually felt like. She takes a solemn pleasure in turning off her computer, and makes her way to the bedroom. After taking note that her husband must have actually made his sheets this morning, something she usually has to remind him of daily, she slips into bed.
She awakens to an electric ringtone, not the usual siren that accompanies her alarm clock. The caller I.D. On the phone lists the number as her husbands firm. Thinking it must be her husband, she answers with sarcastic annoyance towards being woken up. It is not her husband, but is instead his manager. He is calling to tell her that her husband has been fired effective immediately for his absence that day on top of the two weeks he had for sick leave. She insists that is impossible, but the employer won't hear any of it and simply hangs up.
It is now 3 P.M. She calls her husband hoping that he can talk some sense back into his employer. He doesn't answer. Nor does he answer any of the five consecutive times she calls. It isn't until 8 P.M. That she get's a call from police asking her to come identify her husband's remains.
The mortician and several officers solemnly greet her at the city morgue. They spend an hour or two describing theories about how her husband must have been murdered when he tried to pass through occupied Yakuza territory on his way home, because they are the only known group insidious enough to completely decapitate a man and leave only his head. Finally they give her the approximate time of death being near midnight the night prior. At this point however, she has so distanced herself from reality that the only suitable reaction her mind can muster is to simply leave as quickly as possible.
She doesn't return home until 10:30. In it's wild state, her mind has gone completely bare. She forgets even to remove her shoes at the entrance, as is customary in Japanese culture. All she can focus on is the fact that she must log on to her computer in order to complete her job for the night. She closes the door to her office and sits down at her laptop. She never turns the laptop on, only sits and stares at the absolute blackness of the screen.
It must have been an hour and a half, at least, before she heard the key turning in the lock. She estimated the time to be somewhere near midnight. She was frozen, not with fear, but she understood that any effort would be ultimately wasted. All she could do was wait as she heard the form outside slowly shuffle down the hall before it arrived outside her door. She was able to glance at the digital clock on the wall and noticed it read 11:59. She spent what felt like hours staring at that clock, when in fact it would have only been seconds. As she saw the clock blink in and out to signify the start of the new day, she heard a knock at the door. She remained paralyzed as she heard the door knob slowly open. She didn't need to turn around in order to realize something was behind her, she could hear labored breathing. When she finally turned around, and in the stupor of her mind's depravity, the last thought she would ever think was, “あなたが喉を持っていない場合、呼吸が困難である。”[/quote]
filmed a movie an a day
[IMG]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/084/c/0/wizard__s_tower_by_lieutenantawesome-d4tuoqy.png[/IMG]
I went for a game'ish style and made the backround smoother and the tower more sharp and cell-shaded.

it's good except the print is quite a lot smaller in reality
Hey guys, please help me squash the weirdness out of this:
[img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44722719/LI14.jpg[/img_thumb]
I did a lot of minor changes since last using the feedback, still looks weird as shit.
needs bigger brushstrokes in general. it's good you're using some hard brushes with high opacity but the strokes are too small and scratchy
Thanks for the tip. It's just something about her face though that weirds me out. Doesn't look right. I don't think I'll finish it because the composition isn't great, but whatever helps me figure out why it looks so godawful will help me improve my next painting.
Her face looks mellow as shit. She should have a real mean action pose.
She really looks like she's just gesturing to a waiter or something in a restaurant. Needs more emotion, more anger or at least determination.
Originally she was really angry but she looked so much like a bitch I had to change it. :v:
try to add some sort of a background, right now its kinda hard to picture what its doing, it could be gesturing to a waiter or heiling hitler, or maybe even steadying itself after tripping, who knows?

Thanks! I know it needed more value, but I was not so sure how to do it without messing it up too much.
The teeth were rushed for sure, I like doing my sketches really fast I just scribble the smallest things to get it out of the way. Not a good thing! (I am lazy too.)

Please tell me you didnt just do outlines and then fill it in; regardless of whether you're doing silhouettes or normal sketches you need to do a lot of lines and markings for the anatomy in order to get it right, then fill it in with colour later. That said it looks reasonable, but you messed up a little on the torso it seems. The pose looks a little unusual on the right I have to say.
Well such an uncreative and bland composition and a bad pose made me do one with a better motive.
I'm one hour thirty in

Always be looking at negative space in the background as reference on top of the figure itself. Thinking in terms of the diamond shape makes placing the arm in the correct place much easier.
I did this today :

Consider your use of colour more carefully. Read up a little on composition (in terms of colour and contrast).
At the moment the colour combinations are too busy - too many colours placed at random points so that the eye isn't really directed at all
