Please tell me exactly why it looks as shit as I think it does, especially the run cycle.[/QUOTE]
The character's center of mass seems to fixed in one position when it should be moving up and down. It gives a better sense of weight.

The character's upper body remains completely level aside from perhaps a one-pixel bob. It should be high when both legs are beneath the body (mid-step), and at its lowest point with both legs away from the body (full-step).

I made this "Dubstep" track with a sample of my friend being drunk and spilling wine on himself, adequately commenting "dude I have become wet and purple". The joke is he hates electronic music

I think you could try playing about with the values. Your character is quite hard to differentiate from the background, especially in this scene with all that grey conflicting with his jacket and hat.
Yeah in retrospect it's strange how vibrant the environment is relative to the character, where it should be exactly the other way around.
[QUOTE=xalener;47517326]One thing, I think his head might be a bit too close to his torso. I know, early Araki pose and all that, but I really don't thing there's room for a chin. Either that, or the dead on perfect side view of the head is screwing me up.[/QUOTE]
His neck is supposed to be really forward, [url=https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ric4jtcwa01th06/avetruetocaesar.jpg]something like this.[/url] Anatomy is really hard though.

WIP I started yesterday of a 'remastered' version of Creation of Adam. At a small pause right now, I do need to add fingernails and add more detail to the bottom bone.
This is my second time doing an oil painting.
[B]edit:[/B] sorry for somewhat poor photo quality
The photos don't work (mail.aol.com lol?). I recommend [url]https://imgur.com/[/url]

Thank you!

critique me, plz[/QUOTE]
too dark overall, everything getting lost, claustrophobic comp making it feel really tight while the scene you're dealing with takes place in an enormous amount of space, explosion thing in the lower bg is really confusing to me and the way you've staged it makes it look important, so I'm looking there and I'm nonplussed. what's actually important presumably is the heli in the fg which I really don't want to look at cuz of all the solid black. Time of day??
on the plus side the explosion in the fg does read very well and I see potential in your ambitions here, but the execution has failed in a lot of different ways so I'd study some more before jumping into another painting

another almost done piece, the flowers in the back were just added last minute because I accidentally smudged paint on those spots. Heh, woops.

Supposed to be a giant from the fantasy books I'm writing. I'm not used to drawing muscles and I'm not used to drawing titties so doing both without using a reference was tough.
But hey the final results isn't too bad.
Maybe you should have used a ref instead of struggling without?

I was sitting in an empty classroom, no internet access and no gigantic muscular woman around who was kind of enough to pose for me so I had to deal with no refs :v:

It mostly reads as a deformed guy with very round pecks and puffy nipples. Muscular women, despite assloads of testosterone, still retain most of their feminine shapes -- they don't become men everywhere except their breasts.
you clearly haven't seen female body builders then

those are probably the steroids more than anything though
Been sculpting a more detailed version of Glottis from Grim Fandango.

It's hard to decipher anatomic detail from a character whose whole head only has like 5 polys.
[QUOTE=lintz;47534835]you clearly haven't seen female body builders then[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I tried to find an image to disprove you, but tbh every single one made my jaw drop
I guess I'm used to seeing female bodybuilders irl who look bigger and meaner than other girls on the block, while still having women's bodies. Not those frightening machines with boobs glued on to their giant pecs, lol
Hi! Sorry for posting again but I just "finished" this (it's being put up in an art showing at my school but afterwords I plan on adding more detail) and I kind of wanted to share. It's a self portrait completely based off of a picture; I painted my face and created my own antlers and everything for it, I wasn't feeling the whole paint yourself for several months and hate it because it's boring thing.

The face and hair have good depth, but the other areas seem really flat (i assume because they were unreffed) and the dark background doesn't compliment the ears at all. Also slightly wonky facial structure
I think you'd benefit from practicing some things in pencil, like learning to draw heads from spheres and blocks

Yeah, this is my first oil painting ever and it's not as nice as I would like it to be, that's why I plan on working on it still. The ears are definitely unfinished though and I plan on adding lighter colors to them in order to contrast well with the background and match up more with the colors on my face and in my hair. (The antlers/ears where homemade, so they were pretty much unreffed besides some shape and shading really) I also want to add on to the antlers and neck along with fixing the left cheek, it's much more rounded in the photograph.
And thank you, I always appreciate helpful critiquing!!

You've rendered it pretty damn well for your first oil painting. I used oil for the first time recently and just couldn't cope with the whole painting being wet and blending easily, so I ended up just chunking on paint with a palette knife to avoid the colours mixing :v:

Thank you! I think painting wet on wet is probably one of the most frustrating things I've had to do to be honest, I also ended up using a lot of weird techniques because of that, but I think he worst part was how often I would smudge and smear things with my arm or hand. Every time I would work on it I ended up coated in paint, too. :v:
homework for this week was to polish these suckers
