[charcoal woodpecker]

That woodpecker...

Recalling my bird watching skills, that bird resembles a Flicker, That crest and the speckled feather pattern (which you captured very well) are few of the characteristics I recognise. However I'm not sure if I'm right since theres no feather patterns on its chest

You did an impressive job with this, The lighting is balanced, the birds posture seems to appear correct to an extent. The only visible flaw I can make out is that theirs no indication of where the legs exit the feathers.

This link leads to a photo of the same bird (or at least very similar if my guess was incorrect) in a similar posture, you can kind of see how the legs extend from the body.

Finally, the fact you managed to get that detail in charcol, is suprising. I've tried making a drawing with charcol myself, it wasn't easy, either that or I a tad too impatient. Overall, aside from a flaw or two, this is a excellent picture.

You just have to be patient with the charcoal, and use a lot , A LOT, of layers
the wing is many many many layers of charcoal of different shades and tints
you just have to work with it

and make sure when you're all done u give it a nice matte finish to keep it fomr smudging

anyway to enlarge it a bit?

Although this is in decent detail compared to most first sprite submissions. Its so small, even in full size.

Nice

Although this is a badass picture, theres one thing that sticks out at me... his humand hand (and arm possibly) seem too small for his size. Everything else is correct from what I can distinguish.

[Lelouche]

Pretty well done

the drawing itself is really well done, what did you use for the coloring? Felts? it seems to have a water color look to it.

purpleorange responds:

It was colored in Open canvas actually.

[Tank fight]

AWESOME!

that is one kick ass looking tank

[Axl]

Really well done. But there are a few minor flaw's

The drawing is well done and the coloring is accurate. However it seems to go off the lines or isn't completely filled, and not to be a kill joy or anything but when I look at the hands they seem a bit.. crooked, you might wanna improve on that.

Everything else is perfect. Nice job

Yep im not very good when it comes to drawing hands :P But thanks :D

[Spartans]

An interesting amount of detail

Although there's no coloring, the amount you details you put onto the Spartans is fantastic. Even the guy in the very back looks like you put a lot of effort into it.

Sethdd responds:

thanks! yea the funny thing is it only took me about 40 minutes to draw it lol. but i tried to put those little details in there =D

[Spiderman]

Nice

I see the resemblance from the classic spider man cartoon (or at least that's what I see)

This is very well drawn, nice job

OptimusWii responds:

Thank you.

[Star Fox]

wow...

That's basically an exact replica of the pixel version.

Nice job (really)
