Nice, nice!

I've seen the epic journey of this drawing and I must say the the shadowing worked out really well. The hair and the bones were drawn so impressively and of course, the clothes are impressive too.

It's really a shame that you had to take a picture of this, and that it's drawn with a pen. If you'd like you can use my scanner to solve one problem.

Anyway, I'm going to give you an 8/10 and recommend you for the art portal, I expect great things from you, but do it outside of school :P

SamZee responds:

Thanks, but I think I'm not gonna make it in life when I don't draw at school ;D.

Reading the review below...

...My god I want to see that flash! This is very great indeed!

Personally, I love futuristic types of art, especially if there's a city or landscape involved. I've started a small collection of really awesome artwork and this one is definately going straight into that certain folder!

Let me say first of all: great shadow works, everything seemed so real, (this is gonna sound lame :P) it's like I can walk straight into there. Also, even though it the city seems empty, there's a lot to see, take the factory(?) and the few people there. I love the one who's fishing, it seems perfectly fitting with the emptyness of the city.

Then lastly, the colourwork; great. From every detail in front to the far lands in the back, just great.

While I am typing this I'm thinking how to not give this a 10/10 by finding anything I don't like, but I really can't find anything bad, your 10 is well deserved, good job!

10/10 5/5, keep it up!

I think the most important thing here is that with this artwork, especially, I tried to imagine a scene and work off that. It helps in that case because you're already imagining a world in your head, thus the details seem more natural. Like I said earlier - there are colors I would have wished to have used, which I hope to use in my other artworks.
And cheers, I'm still figuring out kinks in actionscript and haven't even begun art assets but this is the art direction I will be using.

Heh, not just some daydream.

I'm currently into army movies (mostly Vietnam) and a few months ago I've gone to Ieper, a place in Belgium where the first world war took place. We'll walk through the trenches and have to write down the first things that came to mind.

War was always for me a stupid thing that adults used to get more power, prove that they're right, or whatever stupid reasons they might've had. I have understood that that's not it and you have perfectly drawn my last months' experiences in one image.

I'll get to the point now,

The image is drawn perfectly, the shadows were placed correct, and the trench gives a... How to say this... Trenchy feeling.
I'm feeling this picture lacks nothing and it's going straight into my favorites, truly amazing man!

Ah, t'is nice.

I must say, I'm really impressed with what you did here, I'm only slightly familiar with WACOM, but I know you made actual art here.

The scenery is truly stunning, I'd love to see that one time, but the thing is, the waterflow is kinda... odd. Water doesn't flow like that, but I know that that's hard to draw.

The pity (for me) is, the girls. Sure I don't mind to see a girl in bikini, but well... I guess they wouldn't fit my 'tastes'. I do count them in the score, but the '8' is well deserved, so great job!

I'm going to check out your other work, hope to see other great stuff!

8/10 4/5.

Awww

I just wanna cuddle that, it looks like one of my favorite stuffed animals from 10 years back.

Are you gonna make more? I sure hope so :D

Asandir responds:

Well, it is based on a stuffed animal that looks like that, so.... :D
I thought about making more art, but I concentrate on searching for abusive reviews lately.

Love it.

I simply love all the details, yes there is a nude chick and... Well she looks good, but that's not what makes the drawing so well, it's every detail (I love the wings!)

What also is great, the title fits. It's a long time since I saw a good fitting title, so kudos on that!

I came on your artpage via your wilhelm park upload and was checking all the artwork, but didn't review. eventually I came through everything and decided all deserves a review, but that would take... a long time and I'm not feeling like doing that... I'm drifting off. What I'm trying to say here is, keep 'em coming!

8/10 - 4/5

My first reaction:

WOOOOOW dit is zo mooi! (WOOOW this is so beautiful) Then I viewed it in full size, and it's just so.. detailed! You can see the small roads in the back of the picture, you have worked out the shades really well, and man... I'm speechless!

"This is the first time I've tried using mechanical pencil in a drawing. I think it worked ou very well" Dude, that is a big understatement! This is one of the finest are I have seen on NG!

Keep them coming, seriously!

1600 responds:

Thanks for the review! :)

Wow...

It's just so realistic... I'm jelous!
While I was typing the previous sentence, I noticed the 'More by this artist' box, and I saw even more by you!

I'm really impressed by your talent! You should start doing this for a living (comics?)

Keep 'em coming, I'm going to check out the rest of your work!
