These are summons i've made for my game. They will all have shadows when they're complete, but these are pretty much the finals. I'll make a few more in the future.

Quite... Vivid definition in these. I like the incresed detail and color contrasts work well. You have a good handle on the hair. It's only once in a blue moon that you see realistic hair, like in the first one and the fifth one. Shading is accurate, as it often is when you know where the light souce is (and don't you forget it

)

Are these attack grafics? Is so, then you can give them a little Animation. Big grin

I think the bird is my favorite one of them all. It has excellent shading and a good choice of color. The others are good, but like I said, the bird is my favorite one.

they're large enemies, so no attacks

Someone's been studying Fenrir's style, and made the best improvements.

An excellent job, sir.

For the first one, get rid of that light shade -- or at least change it.
For the fifth, change the way the face is made up, it looks awkward.
The final one is a bit too dark.

Excellent job, again. Coming from me, you should be proud. You put my work to shame.

Wow, I'll be damned (or not). Those are extremely good (Better than mine). Your style is very good, and the black outline is a good idea for those graphics.

Hey, improve (If you can). You'll have CP worshipping you.

I'll give... Black outlines around enemies look the best (better than the organic shade Idea of mine... And somew=one else...)

I really think that summons as attack would look sweet...

All of them look quite good, except for the last one which is way too dark for me to see any detail. The second one kinda reminds me of the "Chariot" tarot card from Ogre Battle.

Awesome awesome awesome.
Only problem I see is the nose on pink naked chick - it looks odd. Also, the light shade MCW refers to is the nearly white shade of grey that makes up the skin of #1 - it contrasts very highly with the rest of the pic, and thus can look a bit off.
And I think the sixth one looks fine. Don't lighten it, as that would sort of reduce its impact.

Yes, aside from the fourth one the others are suffering from low color depth in the shading. So simply make each color visable with eachother and it'll look nicer. Notice the depth on the pale skin in the third one is low.

There mostly all good , the only thing that bugs me is the shadow on the third one, the legs cant be clearly distinguished from the shadow, it looks a bit awkward, on my opinion i would just make it the same type of circle shadow, but hey its your grafics.
*Good Job*
