[Samus Aran from Metroid]

I love your work! I really like how you render faces and add lighting! Can I ask: Do you know of any resources like books, videos, etc that you could recommend to help me improve? I would really appreciate it if you could PM me with your recommendations! Again, this is fantastic work! Congratulations!

Tosyasha responds:

Thanks! I don't know what is PM you)) so I'll answer here) as for me, I was studying from realistic portrait artists mostly, especially Russians: Ilia Repin, Valentin Serov, Feshin, Lev Russov and so on. And I was reading in Russian. So don't know any art literature in English. To improve you need practice from real life, it's everything there, as my teachers were saying)))

[Operation 'Save Children Soul']

Dude!! This is pretty solid work! I am going to offer you some criticism, but it is completely subjective!
1. I think that your piece relies too much on the outline. But then again, maybe it is the style you wanted to go with :)
2. I feel like your lacking a bit of texture!
Again, this is entirely subjective! The action poses, the facial expressions, the shadows and highlights are all spot on! :)

rezahales responds:

Thank you so much for appreciation and critics. Yeah, actually I am going to make it without outline. But I can't because that will take me longer time to finish it since I worked it in about few last days. So I just left the outline there at last.

[Epic Santa]

Pretty awesome dude! The ice effects look awesome. I do want to offer some contructive criticism I hope you find it usefull:
1. I can't really tell if Santa is kneeling or sitting down, I

KCDallas responds:

Thank you very much. You are half right lol! He is basically just doing the Captain Morgan one knee up.

[Christmas will allways be safe]

Awesome piece, brother! I do have a couple of criticisms that I hope you will find useful:
1. Grim, dark, bad ass, but not entirely epic - I feel like your piece could have used more action poses to strengthen the idea of Santa being epic. I feel like a soldier shooting is more interesting than a soldier walking IMO.
2. Photoshopping in your references instead of painting them - this one is very straight forward, this is specially noticeable with the snow.
Please excuse any grammar errors :) I will upload my entry soon, it's nowhere near as good as yours but I do hope you can review it and help me improve :)

Flowers10 responds:

Thanks mang! I'm looking forward to seeing it!
1. Yeah i suppose your right them shooting would probobly be more epic. but because of my design background i wanted it to seem like a convoy them protecting the presents with santa leading.
I feel like if they were all fighting the trucks with presents would be kind of out of place, like what are they doing in a battlezone? good idea for a different pic tho!
2. i'll let you know that about 90% of the pic has been painted, the trick is to use the photoshopig right and in the right spots.

[Grimataur]

I'm not trying to be rude but is this actually an illustration? It looks like a 3D model made in ZBrush. Either way, it looks amazing :D

TXBlazez responds:

Thanks for the nice review! I created the base mesh in Zbrush then painted over it in photoshop, all the skin detail is overlay layers and the background was fully painted. I make the base in Zbrush as it means that i have perfect lighting and perspective.
