Thugs in Shantytown

[rlamunyon]

hey guys, this is a new concept piece for my thesis. medium is pen with watercolor. critiques welcome, thanks for looking...!

[Toxdel]

nice composition, love the style to this piece. Is that guy on the roof in the background a hero or something?

[rlamunyon]

thanks man, yes you could call that guy a hero, though he's more like a vigilante or anti-hero in my pitch.

[orionlesc]

I like it!

[exoduskhan]

Sorry, once again

little too blurry, try using more painterly brushes..?

Wow, why are you taking rlamunyon's critique so personal? This is pretty immature of you for an artist---you have to learn how to take it at constructional value. He was right about your batman piece, it was too blurry, too "photoshoppy, or digital" as some of my teachers would say. You have to take a more traditional approach to painting on the computer sometimes to avoid that, for example using more solid brushes.

For those who are confused:
exoduskhan's piece got moved to the critique center, and he was upset about rlamunyon's critique that was accurate. So here he is, throwing back his critique at him as an insult rather than being helpful, even when it doesn't apply to his piece.

And something that is on topic:
I like how you were able to keep the lineart in your piece consistent, I think it looks very professional!

thanks, unfortunately i'm only an art student who dreams of having professional work.
