**IronBrush** · November 14th, 2005, 12:20 AM

Hello all?
I became long whether make out writing here.
So, there may no be a person who remember me.
Still, want to show a work to you recently and make out new thread.
Left side of composition of this is front label of a book and right side works by book back label are thought that composition is not good by one picture.

Lately, is doing a cartoon publishing company's label coloring work.
Its title is batman.
Publication does not seem to become yet.
I want to do and receive full illustration work, I am doing coloring work because is batman who like.
Is a person who live in alien land, but from this side full illustration work that is requested and do possible ?
If it is possible, I hope to work.
But My English is poor. So it will be hard to me.
Anyway, have a great day all^^
And comments and crits are welcome^^

First off, these are very nice. My only crit would be that the figures on the ground in the first one seem very flat (like there isn't enough shadow on the forms themselves.)

I don't know if this will help, but I reworked your intro into better English. I had to guess a few times what you meant, but your ideas were clear, just the grammar was poor.

I like those covers. Your handling of texture and shapes is great. I also like the colors a lot. Hoever some of those values are a bit to dark. Especially the fire and the sky.
Do you paint with painter or with photoshop? And how do you achieve those textures?
Post more please

**The Brett** · November 14th, 2005, 10:52 AM

Awesome stuff. Love the compositions.

**young paddy1** · November 14th, 2005, 11:06 AM

beuatiful paintings and excellent composition for use in covers, I have onnly one crit, it is for the first image, the people lying on the ground do not seem to be affected by the wind that is blowing the main character's cloak around. Their hair is all still and their clothes lay perfectly flat.

That's it cheerio.

p.s. post more

**van.bot** · November 14th, 2005, 05:20 PM

these are cool... the second won is especially wicked.

**THUNDERCOCK** · November 14th, 2005, 10:16 PM

yeah i agree with apollo. the fist one has some loss of dimension going on, but still nice work. I like the second one...its very dynamic. nice action and composition....rock on!!!

**capt underoo** · November 14th, 2005, 11:05 PM

your cloth work is fantastic...you did an excellent job with the folds and texture...really impressive

**Azeira** · November 15th, 2005, 01:10 AM

i like them. though the values do seem a little dark (thanks for pointing this out Zaknafain

), i think you do very well with texture/environment/volor work, and show obvious method and patience to acheive such deep scenes. i, too, am interestid in seeing more. dont hesitate to post them.

**Arctis** · November 15th, 2005, 03:03 AM

Hi,

That's good ! A real personal style on a familiar subject/char design.
I love how you rendered the clouds and the cliff of the 2 nd one.
Keep it up !

**IronBrush** · November 15th, 2005, 07:43 AM

Thank you all
And I use both Photoshop CS and painter 9.

It is scan version of first...

**possessed** · November 15th, 2005, 07:49 AM

damn... There seems to be an amazing natural flow in these pieces making them very pleasant to look at. I really like how you handled the clothing on the characters and the colors are just amazing. Grade A Stuff.

**IronBrush** · November 16th, 2005, 09:41 PM

This is scan version of second..

**flaptraps** · November 16th, 2005, 09:45 PM

those look great man! awesome work.

**Alexius** · November 16th, 2005, 10:25 PM

Kick-ass style and execution!

**GBjorgum** · November 16th, 2005, 11:24 PM

Thank you for showing these! The colors are beautiful. Your pictures are full of movement and life!

**rasdasa** · November 16th, 2005, 11:51 PM

Very nice gesture in the stance of the first pic, although as already stated, the characters on the ground do seem flat.

Awesome stuff.

Shame it has to be obscured by that text....

**alex_86** · November 18th, 2005, 01:08 PM

I want to like your art much more than I actually do. There's something about it that feels amatuerish. It's certainly not the coloring technique. It may be the fact that you're drawing in a cartoonish style and coloring in quite a realistic style.

Yes I think that's what it is. I would love, for example, to see lots of realistic detail on swords that are close up, and the anatomies of the characters are skewed in an unnatural way I think because you're drawing them in this Anime-ish style. Also, I think there is a bit of a problem with foreshortening, especially in the second piece, as well as with staging, character balance, and perspective.

All I can say is, spend more time on your sketching, and refining because otherwise the piece just doesn't look convincing to the eye, and that's what's buggin me atm, so I can't just give you three of these...

**IronBrush** · November 18th, 2005, 08:45 PM

Thank you all for your comment and your crits

**IgG** · November 18th, 2005, 10:44 PM

Something is giving me a 'static' feel about the characters in the second painting. I think what's doing it is the characters' dull expressions. Especially on the grounded swordsman.
Also, a mid-air block isn't very dramatic. Wouldn't the blade poised to strike be more interesting? Or at least lower the point of the blade so it looks like he's about to stab the other guy. Right now, it looks like they could be sparring.

In the first pic, the face that both sword handles are pointing to looks like it is painted on the rock, not a 3-dimensional figure. I think it's the background swirls around it that make it appear that way.

Excellent coloring work and palette choices.

...And I want a cape like that.

**IronBrush** · November 28th, 2005, 11:43 PM

New cover ..

**Evil_Sloth** · November 29th, 2005, 03:16 AM

I was also going to comment on the lack of emotion on all of your subjects. I think it makes them look "bad-ass", but it also makes me feel that they are not struggling in the fight. It gives a bit of the impression that they just dont care.

Also, I didnt read the fighting one as a mid air block, I read it as a dodge and soon to be jumpkick to the face.

Thank you all

**liam.c** · December 5th, 2005, 11:34 PM
