[Hank MC 6]

Not bad :)

A decent enough image of Hank, though I would certainly recommend that you get your hands on a tablet and start drawing these things digitally.

You could certainly use some work on the background and perhaps even a splash of colour - you could do so much with the shading, just using the pencil and adding the red of the goggles and the blood stains to Hank's clothing, making it appear more menacing.

I'd have centralised Hank more for the image and tried to make that the focus of the image, rather than adding a large signature. changing these things about slightly will certainly help in the long run

Interesting impressionism

What looks like a Black Castle Crasher on a cross amongst a rain of fire. Visionary in the concept of this piece of art, I will admit, but the message is somewhat lost on me, to tell the truth.

I think that the main issue here is that there is still so much white paper left over. The real problem with pain on paper is that when you apply paint to the paper, it will wrinkle and this does give a poor finish to the page, when the piece is complete. Hence why artists use canvases to draw and paint on - this reacts better to the moisture of the paints and can retain its shape better.

Scanned or photographed?

[First flight]

One of my favourites

A great little piece that certainly captures the essence of motherhood with the dragons looking so graceful and yet ready to cause some serious damage, as the myths and legends would suggest.

The best part of this piece is the background, as you've clearly spent a long time looking into making the most of the cliff-face and the starlight. The moon peaking out from behind the partial cloud cover and the mother's tail just goes to show how you've concentrated on it as a whole.

Perhaps we need to see the baby a few years after the creation of this piece, to see how it is getting on.

Thanks!!

Maybe I will do the baby when it is older, or perhaps its siblings... not sure if I will do another pencil study or a digital piece though.

A nice job

It's not a bad paint job, but it does go a little fuzzy in places (Very technical term there :P) and some of the quality may have been lost in the rendering process.

Kudos to Mindchamber for the original piece and your vision to alter is subtly this way. I can certainly see this beast winning some friends among the rest of the Autobots in their brightly coloured 1980s technicolour dreamland.

Any more pimped Transformers that you've got your eyes on taking for a trip to the paint shop?

yeah I think the jpg compression is a little high on the image resize... if you check it out full size it's WAY cleaner
