great colors.
watch those hands, getting a bit small.

[The face of all your fears]

creepy

[Mario]

When I put my hand that close to me giving a thumbs up, I have to force my elbow from going higher than my hand. That being said, if you're going for the "realism" here, take into consideration the arm looking unnatural that way.

[Finn Doodle]

i like how i can still see the brush marks, although I'm used to him being a lot thinner originally, so it looks a bit strange this way.

[Happy Birthday Hyde]

I really dig the low saturation and the muted darks, looks very smooth.
good job!

[Dahlia]

Nice drawing!
Did you draw it by hand with pencil then add the red paint with a textured in photoshop?
How was it done?

KarylAnne responds:

Thanks! You're 100% correct! I drew it on 2 pages of drawing paper, scanned, stitched them up together and added a dash of red to give it a little pop! I'm very glad you like it! :)

This is really nice to look at. i love the setting and colors used, creates a really cool atmosphere, likt the 60's meets 2050, haha.
The angle and shot is really great also, although as my eye goes directly to the train, I can't help but be distracted by the highlight on the top right corner, I believe that is the ceiling to the stop?

[Armada]

Wow

Great handling on the cluds and sky.
I could never do that with CS5, I'm more traditional. I thought this was pencil at first!

[Pyrlaster]

Great.

This is a very developed work. I can tell you out a lot of time into this one. Clear attention to detail, a cohesive color pallet, and very ambitious.
I'd say you achieved the "colossal" effect.
My critique is that some parts i can tell you drew, some parts look like brushes, and some parts just look like altered photos. This makes is not work as a whole piece, because it doesn't fit together. (The bottom right, the guy is drawn, against the rock that looks like a photo).

Overall, as a whole piece, it looks great, but when you look at different aspects and compare them to one another, they don't look like they were done by the same person...

8/10
5/5

This is what you call DISKARTE in my own dialect in order to cope up for lots of time making the ultra detailed textures..:)

Hella cheese!

Looks really cool, because you kept it whin the same range of blues.
But i must say, the headgear, hand positions, light-saber, strap falling off, and cleavage, is all making it cheesy.
