April 13, 200620 yr Somehow during a month of membership I managed to gain another 100 skill total levels, so I decided to make myself a signature, as I have since 1000 skill total, it took a couple hours to make.. I didn't really count. Idea came from that I have no strong liking for either saradomin or zamorak, but guthix's preachings vaguely follow my philosophies, So I decided to do my RS self in guthix armour, with a cloack wrapped around to signify his travelling days. I had a bit of difficulty chosing the background, originally going for a wilderness scene. I decided something more serene was a more viable option, and changed the lava to a lake, and the raging red dragon to a peaceful blue. I had no dofficulty in selecting to actually have a dragon in there though, I wubs dragons ;) Anyway, I could probably make it better? A little bit of constructive criticism if you will?
April 13, 200620 yr ncie work, i like it! major crits: his hand. what is it doing? looks like it could be holding on to the pommel of a sword, but its just hanging in the air. the blue dragons wings looks a bit under-detailed as well, more of a slapdash job. there should be veins, or ridges coming form the point down t the base of the wing where the bones would be. water could have a bit more detail, but its alright. i like the drags in the sky. the anatomy looks good too. over all a great peice, well done "A disbelief in magic can force some poor souls into believing in authority and business"
April 13, 200620 yr Nice shading! :D The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.
April 13, 200620 yr You need more contrasting colors I would suggest making the dragon black, but if you inteded it to be that way, good job. Everybody lovin' it, but ain't no body touchin' it
April 13, 200620 yr Author The original image was about 250 pixels, including the entire torso, It'll be a bit ahrd to make the sword more prominent but i'll see what I can do. Aye, I did a lazy job on the wing veins msotly because I didn't know what to do, still a little clueless. The lake is meant to be placid, I probably shouldve added a gradient before posting it, so it didn't look so plain... I prefer to keep to blues and greens, with highlights of yellow. Adding more could wreck the feel of the scene.
April 13, 200620 yr Very detailed, I like it. Thanks Metroid for the siggy and dark_shadow for avvy! \:D/ :thumbsup: <3 wendy
April 13, 200620 yr Nice shading. Think you could work: -Hand, its a bit wierd. -Water texture -Fix the border, the char is infront of it, maybe its just a style, but its a tought. -A bit more of face shading. I think is this for now :P ~komodo
April 13, 200620 yr The water need some waves or somthing, nose and hand looks a wee bit wierd, but overall its very nice, good work. http://jdpr.deviantart.com/
April 13, 200620 yr Author Nice shading. Think you could work: -Hand, its a bit wierd. how? It's not a hand that's visible, it's a guantlet. -Water texture It's meant to be still, so if anything im only going to add a gradient... -Fix the border, the char is infront of it, maybe its just a style, but its a tought. Hmm, He is indeed meant to be infront of it, but I spose if I made that more obvious itd look better. -A bit more of face shading. where? I think is this for now :P ~komodo Loser, obviously a mod is a little stringent in enforcing the rules :) I didn't see the problem with an 88 x 31 x 1kb image, but looks like I was wrong somehow. Anyway, I'm off for the weekend.. I'll make some modifications when I'm back...

April 14, 200620 yr Only one thing seems kind of wierd to me. The wings appear to be attached to the hind leg joint instead of the usual front leg joints. I can see you did this to prevent the wings from blocking the head and neck of the dragon. My suggestion: try to do another wing bone that extends to the front joint. Because the bone will be at an angle, it won't block much of the dragon and the apparant increased wing size will make the dragon be more believable.
April 14, 200620 yr My only complaint is that the background just ends... Also the main dragon's wings look a little stiff, but its okay. Theres also not much going on in it.
April 14, 200620 yr The only thing that caught my eye was the sky and far background. It just looks like a painted wall as a fake prop, there's lots of ways to make a sky and blend it with a far bg (with mountains, or none, or something else), but leaving it like that doesn't look good. Everything else is nicely shaded and all seems in proportion in the person. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art
April 14, 200620 yr I really like the two dragons in the background, flying around and shooting fire at each other, awesome detail. I also like the tree and it's abstract-like shape. I would just add a bit to the background and the water. Great work. There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't!
April 14, 200620 yr Hi, it's me, eminem. Time for my 5 pence worth of C&C. This is a fantastic peice of work, you must have spent quite alot of time on it. The shading is great, the texture is ok, but there are quite a few bits and pieces that need touching up apon. These are those things: The sword at the very bottom of the screen is hard to see, make it more lookable, so people will realise it is a sword. There is a major stop to the background, it is perfect with the grass, and it is purfect sky, but they come together with one line. This is not good, as it will seam as though it is quite a plain pixel. The grass is fantastic. The anatomy of the male is fantastic. The dragon is pretty good, could use some more veign work and, You need to dither the lake. Maybe use some gradients? Lastly, it all looks like a .png til you look at the text, it looks like a .jpg, which I dislike completely and utterly. Thanks for reading and listening, hope this helps a bit with future works of art. This is a fantastic amazing peice of work and I hope to see you do some more. That's it from me, cya in future threads 8) Add me ingame: Lnterest. I am back.
April 17, 200620 yr Author Version 3. The only difference from Version 2 (not shown) being the transparent white layer on the bg ;) In case anyone is wodnering, 99% of the work has been done on Graphics Gale, which allowed for layers and transparency effects. Other changes between version 3 and 1 include a new sword, with the arm grasping it differently. slight shading on the water wings changed on the dragon grass under tree changed species, and given shading mountains added to the right side a less flat ground added to the left other minor touch-ups
