Look like screens from the newest castle!

I certainly couldn't do any better.

Though the broken tear one was crap and cheesy.

Whats with you and blood?

[Bloody Shadow]

Thanks mate , and agreed on the broken tear
And the blood thing...I still don't know XD

[TheOnlyHorse]

You've improved your art over time :] I like "Little Billy", "Dead Snow" and "Asylum" because of the perspective.

(If you need help with GIMP just throw a PM at me )

[Bloody Shadow]

Thanks mate

[Shadowtime23]

Looks pretty cool, nice to see you're improving and keeping it up

Dead snow is my favorite

[Bloody Shadow]

Thanks man means alot.

[Razgriz]

Hm, pretty good.

This thread has been LISTED!

I haven't listed an art thread in the long, long time...

I hope that you plan on adding more art; as the art thread list states. (Or at least more art after this post. =) )

Oh, I'm not in the mood to make a constructive criticism. So don't mind me.

[Zola]

Good art, but what's bothering me is the shadow in Asylum, the leg in your world is there world (anatomy ) and the foot looks like a shoe (at least for me), left shoulder of the creature in the ywitw 2 seems to be shorter than the right and the skull's nasal cavities are placed straight (you should bevel them a bit) but I love the skull effect. I've laughed at Little Billy (good imagination) and the best of all is "Dead Snow". Cheers m8

[Shinoi]

You have to work more on anatomy.

In "Asylum", his legs are very different from each other and his hands are unclear and undefined. His right shoulder is set too high. Shadow isn't drawn really well and it's position is very unreal. Judging from it's perspective it should be either moved to the right or window to the left, as it seems light is coming from the left.

I don't have much comments on "Dead Snow".

Leg in "YWITW" is wrongly drawn. Human calf is like this:

Also hand seems kinda off to me.

Creatures right shoulder in "YWITW2" is way too big (or the left one is too small). Make them more like each other next time. Wings of those flying things are somehow weird to me. I don't exactly know what, but something is wrong there. Also, they are flying to the sun, right? I would blur them a little and make them unclear.

Not much comments on "Little Billy". Hands and fingers need much work there. Especially on the right hand, thumb is very badly drawn and out of place. As for the blood pool, I wouldn't make it so symmetric like you did, but more uneven. Also, what's with his legs? They are kinda... wavy.
Whole picture gives me a Castle feeling. Cool.

"A broken tear" is just plain bad, sorry. Blood is okay I think, but tear is just wrong. Also, you could define wall in the background. Or is it that black rectangle?

"Airport" needs more work with lighting and shadows and such. There are two sources of light, so there should be two kinds of shadows for each object. And if there was no title, I'd have no idea what is this picture presenting.

Those were just quick critics, so I may forget something. Nice work you have there, you just need to improve. Keep it up.

[Bloody Shadow]

Thanks mates and thanks for the critism but I want to clear some thing that the shoulder of the demon in YWITW2 was drawn like that in purpose to give it a more "savage" look. =)

And thanks Razgriz I'll try to keep you guys updated

[Matthias]

Wow you're pretty good with GIMP

[Bloody Shadow]

Thanks mate =)
New art anyways =).

Bridge
http://i42.tinypic.com/282jb5y.jpg

The metal (bridge) doesn't look "metalish", just my point of view. What do you guys think? =)

[Shadowtime23]

Wow, I like this one a lot. But something about shadows is that they never have the same density/sharpness when they move further from the ground. What I'm trying to say can be seen here:

You see how much difference there is in the sharpness of the shadow near the legs and at the end?

And the angle of the bridge floor seems a little weird in contrast to the shot (kinda seems like the ground is way too vertical)
Left hand is tiny.

But other than that, I really love the view, the color selection, the gradients and the overall feeling this picture emits. Nice job

[Bloody Shadow]

Hmmm thanks mate on the shadows . and thak you :3

[Bloody Shadow]

Worked a little on textures. I tried to replicate a "Silent Hill" feeling into it. Enjoy ^^

Did you forget about the wall texture overlapping?

I like the hair on the first guy, I don't see that too often.

[Bloody Shadow]

I tried making the lines myself...but I was only making it worse . I Remade the first guy even the eye from the begining again, added some blood and some dirt and the hair :3 Thanks btw again for pointing out some of my mistakes .

[Bloody Shadow]

Not much sorry. Having alot of work right now =/.

Elite Soldier Patrol (yeah almost same picture but for the other one I wanted to put a "dirty" scope effect)
http://i40.tinypic.com/107730i.jpg

[Shadowtime23]

I don't like the look of that scope effect, it's imperfect. You should've used a ruler or something and copied a side to make the distance between the points even.

Man, I really love your images involving snow. Looking forward for more!

[TheOnlyHorse]

Those chains in "Execution" should be affected by gravity and the sword thingys (whatever they are called ) has a white pixel in them. Or is it supposed to be there?

Also, what's up with the sniper scope? I like the effect but why just not make it circle shaped?

Man, I really love your images involving snow. Looking forward for more!

Same here =)

[Bloody Shadow]

Thanks mates. For that scope I wanted to accomplish like some snow hit the lens of the scope for that, the lens will not look like a perfect circle and yea shadowtime, didn't think about using a ruler, thanks for the tip for future work =). TOH yea that white pixel on the sword thingys was supposed to be there . And thanks for the snow art .

Anyways I found this image, it was made about 3 months ago (using MS Paint), Today I just edited with GIMP.

[Killing_Time]

Is it really that difficult to make a round curve and a line that isn't wobbled to death? I won't talk about the rest, this just seems a little too lazy.

EDIT: Oh shit, accidentally closed the thread. :0
