I like the characterizations and the illustrations for the most part, but the effect breaks down at the coloring stage....it just seems to fall short imo. One example I can point out in the first one is the bg seems to be theis smooth gradient and the rest of the image is painted with bush strokes - the two things seem contradictory style-wise so tehre is a loss of harmony. In the second one...as much as I like clouds and smoky stuff for bgs this just seems to be an after thought.
Good luck with the folio
Cheers. _________________ Steel Dolphin Creative |

Great style that expresses a new kind of character, but Hellboy is missing one vital feature:

Indeed these are refreshing.
Hellboy:
I think the harshness of the lines and structure which stands as the outline is too strong. When making lines that are this heavy they get a large impact, and at places you have used the lines is a rather scruffy way which brings the entire image down.
I am not a big fan of the way you used the lighting filter on the grass.
Perspective is really interesting and gives the image a lot of depth.
Leaping guy:
I like the idea of his body getting twisted to elaborate on his dynamic. Though I do think that his pose does follow a harmonized direction and therefore is confusing. I like the choice of colour, but again the contrast/pressure of the outlines is too harsh. |
