[Together We Fight]

WOW

This is gorgeous, and my only thing is, is this watercolor? 5/5

silencefreedom responds:

thanks, yes it's watercolor brush sets in Photoshop.

[Mountain base...]

Very nice

I don't know if this was made in photoshop, but this is really nice and pretty damn realistic, for a Halo or Gears Of War spinoff, but overall very nice, on my faves list.

Rated 5/5

Gunzet responds:

Thanks man. This was all made in SketchBook Pro 2010, so it's basically hand drawn with my tablet. Little details and stuff along the way. And it was pretty much inspired by Halo, glad you noticed. Just did this to practice my value placement and contrast, which I failed on...but practice is key I guess.

[Pixel Armory v3]

Very nice

Only thing is the barrels on the snipers are a liiiiittle short, but over great overall, the IWI Deagle was also was weird with the top detail shaved off. For background you might want to do like a dark green, you can see the guns better, but thats pref again.

RamboFox responds:

They do come in a little too short, but that is done in that way so that they fit into the hands of the little sprited dudes at the bottom (I've had to do allot of fine-tuning).

Ah! I knew I was missing something. Fixed the Deagle error - how's it now?

Frontpage ripoff

You should definitely get on the front page. Nice touches with the rays of light, like making an Earthquake while bringing rage on Heaven, very epic, this could almost be in a video game. Definitely one of my faves.

Kamikaye responds:

thx :)
Yea one day .. .when Ill have the abilities and ressources I might make games when I have time beside my science career ;)

[brick by brick]

Very nice

I think that if you would have layered the wood, like with new things like a pixel cube, or made it into a puzzle looking thing, i would have thinken it was cool, its alright, but could be better with additions

3/5

spiggy600 responds:

That's an interesting idea. Thanks for the input.

[FELLBEAST]

Very nice

I liked the soft blend technique you used, but i dont think the dots on the chest are "attractive" to the art viewers eye. Very nice tigerstripe technique on the wings, could almost be a liiiiiiiiiiittle more fine, just a tad. Voted 4/5.

TheSpicanator responds:

why thank you kind sir

[Stracci Famiglia red trench]

Very nice

What ive seen with this is shading is drastic which is nice, but you can BARELY tell its pixelated without closeup. If you mix this up with the Tommy Gun Art, it will compliment your game I think very well. I think you tried an NES pixelated try? You comnpleted it very well, and keep up the pixels!

DonStracci responds:

Well the Tommy gun was for a game that a friend was developping, But this body was for a game that was already developped , where we could contact staff members in-game and get them uploaded and were usable in the game. But it was limited from bodies and heads, guns , hats and objects had to be very well made, unfortunatly my tommy gun was mediocre that the staff members said.

[Firework crate paintjob]

Nice Don

You could blend it just a touch more green onto khaki, but great emblem, camo very nice, keep it up man!

zakk890

DonStracci responds:

I wanted to , but unfortunatly I only had three spray cans left which were those camo colors. The emblem was only made with two airbrush paints: one layer of white and then a layer of red oxyde on top of it.

[Thompson]

Wow.

All I can say about this is wow. I can't find the patience to do something pixel like on paint. If i do ill go insane, love the shading, you could almost go a little bigger with the tommies. And what are the M16 lookin things? Are they tommy variations modernized?

DonStracci responds:

Thank you, I had to keep the small size for the game so the character wouldn't have giant guns. The m-16 lookin' was a modified one with some modern gun parts.
