I'd really appreciate your feedback and critique of these illustrations I just did in Photoshop 7 (love that program!).
See the rest of them here:

Perhaps a grade for each: C, C-, D+ whatever would really be helpful along with your critique.
Thanks!
Thomas Denmark

Well, you are good I grant you that and could teach me a few things. But I can see several improvements.
I think you should definetly work on anatomy and sketching.
Here is specific comments starting from the bottom and going up (on your page):
Image 1: This is too monochromatic. Brushwork is too lifeless. Boring. Anatomy ok. Composition ok. Work on colors!! See some life in it please.
Image 2: Looks too generic. Professionl all the way but doesn't say anything special to me. Arm anatomy odd?
Image 3: This has promise. This might be something good.
Image 4: Arrow girl looking good but composition looks amaterish. Background an after thought? Oddly off balance.. adds interesting but needs refinement
Image 5: Not liking this style or anatomy. High quality painting. Background weak? Needs more figures?
Anyway.. I gave you pretty harsh critiques because I see you are really good. I hope they are beneficial! And maybe yuo can make some tutorials sometime! |

(painsaber) Yeah monochromatic is bad. And I see what you mean by lifeless brushstrokes, they're far too similar. More variety would help. I've been studying a lot of Frazetta lately to learn how to get more life in my work. My stuff is way too static.

(not this time) The characters could definitely be pushed a lot more so they're not so generic. Gotta work on that arm anatomy more. Anatomy is always a tough one, can never study enough.

(highest bidder) I don't know if this is good or has any promise, seems really weak to me. Boring.

(ricochet) yeah, that composition is WHACK! Pretty weak. I should resolve problems more in the sketches before I go to finish, I'm always getting ahead of myself.

(ravage) the style and anatomy pretty much suck, as I said above I should study anatomy a LOT more! That crappy background...what was I thinking?!
Thanks for the useful crit!

not shabby. the lighting could be alot more contrasty n stuff but that's not what really bugs me in this one. she seems to be examining her sword more than in the midst of action or whatnot. that's just my 2 farts.
