Welcome, sir. The CG work is pretty decent, but I don't much like his shoulders, they just bug me a bit. They seem like they should be a bit broader, and the left arm looks like it should be lower than the right, because of how the shoulder is. Just, generally work on the shoulders.

Otherwise, a decent pic, especially if it's your first.

Lol! Not bad, but you work for me too! Heheehee! Ok, nice work. I see you are pretty multi talented. (like most here at RPGExcel Big grin) By the way, Minnek may have promiced you that he would be on around noon (Central, in the US) but he slacked off again, I humbly appologize, and once again good work!

Nice pic, excellent CGing. However, one thing bugs me quite a lot. On the hands, the fingers are screwed up. The way the human hand is set up, there is a substantial gap between the index and middle fingers, while the middle, ring, and pinky fingers are closer together. On your picture, the opposite is in effect, and, quite frankly, it doesn't look right. Also, the thumbs need to be longer and set back further on the hand.
Other than that, great work. I don't mind the shoulders, personally, they might be a little too weak, but I think they look fine.
And don't worry too much bout the hands. Hands are one of the hardest things to draw. I've only gotten okay at it by drawing them over and over and over and over and over again.

Wow, very nice CG. For the most part the drawing is also very good. I don't really have anything else to say that hasn't already been said.

The CG work, especially on the hair, is very impressive. The proportion seems wrong, though. The head is a bit too big and the arms look too short.

Nice pic, but because of the folds on his arms, he looks too round to me. But I really think its nice

And dont forget, the neck is a little bulky (fat). Looks like he is trying to swallow an ostrich egg. I am not slamming your work, Like I said before, it is quite well done. I also want to point out that it could just be the race the prince Leon is... If he is human, that just wouldnt look right, and all.

Keep up the good work, and accept critisism kindly. People who have been here know what happened to Eggie, and I-forgot-who-else. We certainly dont want that to happen again
(the not accepting critisism thing, that is)

nice work... no need to say anything more about the pic, i think it's good but too rounded. (i won't be able to explain, please don't ask if you don't understand)

Thanks for all your comments. It has already been brought to my attention by the critics at artcorner.org that his arms are a bit to short.
My primary goal was to get a clean CG, and I'm very satisfied with the piece. But thanks for your comments anyway, it can help me get better in the future. In fact I'm working on another piece right now for your eyes to see... Ha ha ha!

LeRoy: Me work for Minnek!
Flamer: I don't understand what you mean about round... Oookay...

Anyone else who thinks the picture is kinda round and who can explain what they mean about this??? Neutral

Thanks anyway, everybody.

I think the roundness comes from how you draw the fold lines.

Very nice coloring, but needs work, on proportion especially.

again, I must stress, motion, pose.. characters shouldn't just stand there so limp... use their body to show their character!.

If you learn how to do it it'll improve everything else.
