I'd Boost Her Peach

This is a great example of a simple but effective design. It has hardly any color, but what it does have simply adds to the entire thing.

The only thing I would add is some simple ground shadows to give the characters a sense of placement.

wesley-johnson responds:

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm not a bit digital painter or anything, so I'm starting to try to figure out other way of coloring. More of a design approach I guess. And yes, shadows would make a world of difference. I'll make that happen.

Good Job

Well, you have come quite a way since you came here. I hope this New thread has less annoyances than your last.
>.>.... should have probably done a more epic background though.....
and a spinny head...

"Everything is Shiny Captain"

Oi!
Very nice, It did come out well, and of course being a robot and a gundam, it got a fave. we all have our weaknesses, right?
The close up in the back really does this thing too. I mean a lot of artist have been using close ups as a background over the past year or so, but it's always just a close up of the same image, but you did a completely different one and I feel this sets it apart from some of those others.
Congrats

Thanks, this means a lot coming from you.

It's pretty decent... with one big flaw

Over all I think you have achieved the feel of spring. This has a good solid feel that makes you think about going up on the hill, throwing down a blanket and watching fluffy clouds roll by.

But there is a problem with this. one that truly bashed the illusion, and threatens the picture. The Shadows!
For a few of them here and their, the shadows are ok but like for the Butterfree, probably the biggest offender, should not be casting a shadow that far away. If the shadow was to fall on the ground it would be much closer to them on the ground.
The male Nidoran is the second problem. compared to his partner, his shadow is nearly twice his size.
Also blurring the shadows as they get farther from their source would be a good idea as well.
Many of the pokemon need shadows on them selves to be a little darker as well.

alfa995 responds:

I had a little trouble with the shadows because of the sun´s position (it´s morning in the drawing). I didn´t knew how long or blurry they were supposed to be.
Thank you for the review, it´s really helpful. I´ll practice more to make Autumn and Winter much better than the first two.
(Are there any other things I could change to improve it, or future drawings? PM me if you have time, thanks)

down loaded brushes.... meh,,,

Really shouldn't have used the brush presets. their kind of obvious.
you should have studied a graffiti style more.
This really doesn't fit together at all. Everything is kind of a different style, which is a major downside to using down loaded brushes.
I guess the texture on the lettering is alright though

darkenedlover666 responds:

Have you any idea how vast the graffiti style is? It took me 3 hours just to learn the text... And I wasn't sure what to do for the background... I'll try to do better next time.

I think it works.

I don't think it is too dark for the web, but maybe for print. if you are going to make mass printings of this for some reason I think it would be best to consult the print shop you are going to use.
over all I think it is a win. This has strong line art, good colors, good layout, spacing, the how deal.

Lintire responds:

To be honest, I just printed it out to paste on my wall along with the other concepts - it's a great compliment to be considered somewhat professional (mass printings and consultations are somewhat professional, aren't they?) - seriously, I'm flattered =D

Glad you like it, and nice to know that researching art pays off.

What is right, What Happened?!

I understand just having a little modeling session to take your mind off things and just goof around for a day or two. But this is so much lower than your other work.
I just feel disappointed that you put this along side your other great work.

I can see some places where your skill shines through like around the top of the coat, the mouth.
Perhaps if you did some fill maps, rigged it and done some funny poses with it, this could be a good solid funny piece, but as it is right now, I just give it a slight "huh...." and go on...

I hope you get some better work up soon

DeadExile responds:

I appreciate the review Kinsei, since starting uni i haven't had much time to dedicate to a large scale piece of work. But i guarantee that bigger and better things are on their way soon!
Cheers!

It's me again Margret

Here I am to review another piece of 3D by you again.

I'm going to start off with the bad of the bad this time.
I don't like this work. You have done much, much better than this. The robot day entries you did are an example to this testament.

The model is blocky, awkward just lacks a sense of style. I do take in account that this is a fan art piece, and not an completely original design, but I feel you could have added a sense of flavor this lacks. I know you have the skill in 3D to do it too.

Many of the parts, like the fingers and the medical cross on the chest don't feel like they are part of the robot and feel like they are just simply stuck on there.
A similar issue with the torso and how the leg simply runs in to it. Again, it feels as if it was just stabbed in there.
On the other hand, the arms have a connection to the body and don't feel like they are just shoved in to the model. Which is good.
Back to the torso, I feel that the over all shape is kind of a problem. The flat chest and the point at the bottom just doesn't cut it. you should have popped out the chest a tad and gotten a connector on the bottom point like on the shoulder to connect the leg.

The wheel on the bottom is a another issue. I feel like the hoses you have on the wheel is not enough to support the bot. you should have made some sort of bracket and attached it. Other than the attaching issues I find the wheel quite pleasing
Other things I find good with this is the head design. I think its simplicity is very effective and well done. I do admit that I would have like to have seen a little more advanced modeling from you with perhaps some fabrication seam lines and such, but I think it is alright.
The bend in the leg was a good touch. Many would have left it straight and that would not have worked at all. It would have completely ruined the sense of weight of the robot.

I know what you said about the background, so I'm not going to ride it too hard. I think what you have going on here is working. This is an over all simplistic design and too complicated of a background would have cluttered and destroyed the piece. I do think that maybe you could have placed a thing or two to give it more of a doctors office/medical lab feel but what you got works.

I'm sorry but even with quite a few good things, I know you can do much better than this. so I have no choice but to give low scores this round.
Next time you have a piece like this, spice it up, and add a little flare to the original design.

VidGameDude responds:

Fair enough...

i just dont want to always make such detailed work...
it kills me soo much.

that angel thing took me about 5 days to come up with a design, 2 weeks to actually build the damn thing, and then 3 days to come up with its textured state.

3D is not the same as regular drawing AT ALL....
it takes a major toll on me to make such fine pristine work and i wanted this to be quick and painless...

=_= i feel sick just thinking about making something like that again

Pretty Sweet

I chuckled, so you got a 5.
too bad that the lighting is a little dark.
You should pose them all together and sculpt a mock NG style base and get a big picture of that.

PikaRobo responds:

I like your idea, but because the models are SO delicate, I don't think it could be done without photoshopping. :(

Over All Good

Comparing this to your angel since the two are related, I feel that less time was spent on this one than was the last. The biggest reason I say this is due to the lack of detail in the midsection. The last one was teeming with extra random detail. The second thing that leads me to say that less time was spent on this robot is the stretching of the material on the dark underside texture and on the hammer.
I noticed on Beelze-Bot that you kept consistent with some of the reflective parts. It is difficult to tell the proper reflective parts from due to some distraction from the background. Speaking of the background I am noticing some perspective issues with the ground plane that your robot is standing on. The first thing to be noticed is how flat the plane looks it really could have used a good solid bump map to bring out the texture of the plane. I know this doesnâEUTMt seem much like an issue, but it slightly damages the overall with breaking the illusion of depth. Also the robots legs donâEUTMt fall back in to the perspective as well. I understand that might be hard to fix especially if the original ground is a rendered jpeg that was dropped in.

Design wise this isnâEUTMt too bad, it seems like a strong, vile bot that would oppose your other crafted machine. The overall appeal has a more sinister feel. Starting with the chest spikes, although small they are a good solid touch to the design. This followed by the bipedal legs switched for the more spider look again just adds to the feel of less human creature. Lastly the claws present a cold unfeeling dose of madness to the beast.
Other than some mapping stretching and some perspective issues I still think this is a decent model. Thanks for uploading a large image right off the bat.

VidGameDude responds:

again thanks for a review dude!

yes this one piece unfortunately would not cooperate with UVA texture mapping or bump mapping. for reasons unknown i did the best i could and yes i did rush it cause im leaving in 2 days and i have to pack stuff and plan out and what not.

anyways i tried to make a more sinister feel to it and i apologize once more for the lack of detail but i cannnot texture for my life.

though i really deserve a 6/10 from you, i thank you on being lenient to me.

If you think you have what it takes, then come at me. I'll enjoy this.
