[Ink Dragon]

I find this to be a completely interesting piece and the background only seems to make this even better. Could make an awesome wall scroll to put up on a wall I think.

The border looks nice and seems to have been done later after the dragon as to try causing as little interference as possible since I don't see much in the way of the dragon and border possibly blending which is wonderful to see here.

The dragon itself seems rather intricate and the tails and face have a lot of detailed lines added to give them more life. The wings have some which gives a feeling of the wings being flexible and sturdy and not flimsy.

Overall, incredibly awesome piece of work!

Thank you! :)

A wall scroll eh? Awesome!! :D

Thank you for the review!

[Mr Potato - Painting]

This is a very interesting piece. The potato seems to have a life of its own but from above the kid simply sees it as a tree above ground.That and the potato kid seems to be staring out as if they felt something or someone was watching them just walk along.

The sky looked very detailed as does the dirt while the dirt strangely gives a feel of light shining down there with darkness in the corner near the signatures. The way the potato seems to be huddled gives the weird idea that it could pop out of the ground at any moment and just run somewhere leaving a huge hole in the ground for anyone to fall in.

The grass and tree like top of the potato creature also look rather nice too.

Overall, just a very interesting drawing.

[Quote and Curly]

Well the male character seems to remind me of Ash Ketchum quite a bit actually. His attire though hides neck and the face makes me think he might just be a little nonchalant on what happens with his friend too. The character seems to be a bit of a redneck stereotype looking android as well making him kind of cool I think.

The female character seems to look like she a happy go lucky sort and just enjoys having fun and being with her friend too. She looks like someone even humans would be able to get along with as well making it all the better.

Overall, I have to say they both look perfect as they are. Excellent work!

[Falling Girl]

Leaving it all behind

Seems as if she was leaving it all behind. Almost as if she had fallen meaning all her friends had eventually left her all alone and she had nowhere to go. She took all her time and soon discovered new ideas and when they came back she left them behind as she rose to the top or she felt that way and the background visualizes her rising above it all. Very wonderful drawing.

The background is nice to look at too. Feels slightly like it was a mirror showing both sides and yet the stars cancel that idea out showing she is simply floating above the atmosphere and just being able to feel happy for herself and her accomplishments so far in life. I like how the bottom area shows light which makes me think she is leaving the atmosphere and the colors are wonderful too and the stars just make you feel good.

The swirls under her kind of make you think she is spinning as she keeps going up higher and higher. Very nice.

The girl seems like she is slightly sad that no one is no longer around as she ascends to the heavens and her hair looks great though. Her face seems to be expressing a bit of curiousness as she keeps on going higher. Then her clothes look nice as well. The loose looking shirt looks like it will keep her warm and the blue jeans also have a loose look to them too. The shoes look to be more simple.

Overall, I just feel she is rising above everything as she tries to better herself. Nice drawing.

FrostDrive responds:

Huzzah my friend! You've won the golden ticket! There's a couple hidden meanings of this, but they're all really just slightly different ways of saying the same thing. Although, I'd say your the best so far at explaining this. Even better than I am really. haha Great job! And thanks for the review! :'D

[With A Little Help]

Well then

Not really much different from the other one i just reviewed for you aside from them being drawn in a chibi style which is actually rather cute here too.

I like how you added colored blush to their face, wonder if that's actual makeup or they look like that. The eyes are also different and nice to see them all just having a fantastic day too. Wonderful chibi style, like how they are drawn too.

Overall, chibi style of your characters, nice.

[Friendship is Paramount]

Yay for comics

Well they look rather interesting to say the least. The characters look kind of bubbly but at the same time very happy.

Green looks like she might be the daredevil of the group along with Blue. She kind of has on possibly a bit too much eye liner possibly. Like how her zipper is green though, good custom look. Then her hair is pure white giving the feeling she might blend in with guys from time to time or at least it feels that way. She looks drawn nicely.

Red seems like she would be the nicest of the bunch seeing as she has a skirt and seems to look like she has a nice demeanor too. The shirt has some red smileys which is real nice and the ribbon in her hair just makes her look even nicer. Her face seems to express joy here. Very nice looking.

The striped shirt one looks kind of like she has a rough life actually seeing as it looks like she has something on her face that would cover one of her eyes. The shirt looks really nice though and her expression seems to be a bit down or angry possibly. She looks pretty nice actually.

The Blue looks like she just enjoys music and having a good time as the heart on her shirt seems to show her enjoying the music and the day. The hair looks a bit fuzzy too making her pretty different in way of hair from the others too.The glasses are a swell touch.

Overall, they look pretty neat. Have fun with the comic!

[Vikings!]

Well constructed

This looks incredibly nice and very well created. How long did this one take you this time anyways? Liking the water surface here as it has reflective properties and looks quite realistic. Very well done 3D piece once more too!!

The little cross I am guessing is part of a graveyard and then we have fire in the background. So I guess they set fire to village as they felt like doing so and then left them all to die. The smoke could be a bit more realistic and having it look like it is being blown everywhere rather than just going straight up I think.

The boat is dark and so I guess this is either dawn or dusk that they did this since the boat has poor lighting at the moment. Then however in the water you can see the sail is pure white which kind of contradicts the sail color on the boat.

The trees, grass, and sky all look great here too.

Overall, another wonderful 3D piece.

samulis responds:

Thanks for the review. This piece took me about a hour and a half since I didn't need to make any new items to do it (the terrain is custom, background is custom, the characters are template, and the rest of the props are royalty-free by Arteria3D; I have been using a lot of his stuff lately).

The reason for the differently shaded/colored sail is because that is where the sun itself reflects on the water, so it looks more saturated and brighter.

[Roman Forum- Full]

Looking good

The only bad thing here is possibly just the reflective floor. Everything aside from the reflective floor seems to look natural and realistic. I think you maybe could have spent more time and put in some floor tiles to remove the reflective looking ground since it gives a feel of it being over water or at least it looks that way to me.

The pillars holding up the forum there look really nice and you get a feel that there could possibly be actual people standing under them unaware that at any moment an earthquake may one day come through and simply ruin everything for them and make them have to start all over again.

The entrance, main place on the right and the secondary floor looking areas all look pretty good here. How long did you spend working on this one to be exact anyways? Looks rather professional.

Overall, very nice looking piece aside from the reflective floor.

samulis responds:

This was my longest project 3D wise... I spent about 10 hours total, I estimate, over several weeks of off-and-on working. I thought the reflective floor would add a certain feel to it, but I see now it was a mistake that I will not do in the future. :)

As a side note, you can watch a slideshow of the construction: http://s385.photobucket.com/albums/oo300/Imparus/Forum%20Build/?albumview=slideshow

[Paarthurnax Bust]

Dragon head?

Well that is a nicely detailed dragon head and seeing in the "More by this Artist" box you have other dragon artwork so this one is just as nice as all the others. I guess if I could really suggest anything is that a neck is added so it doesn't feel like a floating head. Very interesting dragon head design.

Coloring seems just right and light green down the middle with brown on the sides and most of its head makes me think that it could possibly be a forest guardian of some kind and it is now having to chase after someone that decided to harm its friends in the forest.

The horn designs are very nice here. Then he has more horns protruding under his mouth too. The teeth look rather sharp and as if you would not want to get bitten by it either.The inside of his mouth looks a tiny bit like a mix of black and purple which is a nice combination. The eye coloring and snake design for the eyes seem rather fitting and I like that too.

Overall, nice artwork of the dragon head, nicely done!

Thanks for the review! I do sort of draw a lot of dragons I suppose; I'm not really a good enough artist to draw anything else.
