Here's a couple of new summons. Tell me what you think:
This guy is a knight with Ice powers.
This is an "angel of death" type character. I wanted to make it more "chainy" but it didn't look so hot. The smaller wing is *supposed* to be smaller. It's been ripped off, a la Sephiroth-- semi-symbolic of banishment from heaven I suppose. I mean, he is evil.
Also, I didn't get much feedback on my new heroes, so if there's anything that bugs you, don't hold back:
Is the first one's hair too... i don't know... perky? I'm actually not very pleased with the third one. I'll probably change him. Tell me what you think anyway. _________________ My name is...

You have a very nice and unique style Drizzle. And it seems everytime I see some more of your summons and graphics I like a new one. I think the Dr.Octopus look a like one looks the best of the newly uploaded. They all look real good. Although, the chick on the far left at the bottom has a really small head. I mean everyone has a lil forehead. Just not none. Fix that and all your graphics will be great. _________________ ---------------Projects----

Looks great, but that sword immediately made me thing "Buster sword." Your hero graphics are well drawn, but some parts are so dark that I can't see any detail (mostly in the waist and legs). |

Yeah, I know the darkness can be a problem. It really all depends on your monitor brightness. There's no real "standard" brightness/contrast for monitors so its hard to get a handle on how dark something should be.
I've been thinking about ways to change that sword, as the design isn't that intimidating anyway. So if all goes as planned, it won't be very "buster sword-ish" when i'm done with it. _________________ My name is...

I like the lighting on the armor. the solitary streak works fine, but try widening it. It is like, SUPER SHINEY then.

First one is great. No problems.
Second one is nice, but it looks a bit less intimidating than I would think of an angel of death type thing. Maybe make the chains more convoluted? Pehaps a more evil pose - it's just standing there right now.
The heros looks fine to me, except that the first one needs, as Leroy has said, more forehead. The third one might look better if you added a shadow. _________________ UP DOWN UP DOWN LEFT LEFT RIGHT RIGHT A B START |

If the second one is supossed to be a man, those sure look like boobs.
And chains cast shadows too, you know. _________________ But enough talk, have at you! |

So does a sword. But I'm not going o draw a shadow for every extended appendage. (Sounds dirty) The shadows would be overyly complex which is something I would then have to do with the heroes for continuity of graphics. But there'd be no space for me to do that. Simple circles work fine for me, because I'm not going to go through that much trouble. _________________ My name is...

The lack of detail in shadow for the heroes and the swordy guy are ok, but the chains REALLY need it. _________________ But enough talk, have at you! |

I don't think they look like boobs, shadow, and I'm sure you have a clear idea of my understanding of boobs. |

Me: I meant the armor on the first thing. It has a luster to it, but I think it would look cooler with a wider "luster line". I also like the pose of the second hero grafic. The first one looks as if she is throwing her hair back, so the hair should bulge out more in that area. And yea, the forehead looks small fo that reason too. Thanks for pointing me out though. _________________ Planning Project Blood Summons, an MMORPG which will incinerate all of the others with it's sheer brilliance...

Fine. Then it looks like the PECS are too far off of the body. Elevated, if you will . _________________ But enough talk, have at you! |

I think the first hero's hair is a little flat (or at too low of an angle) in front. It makes her head look like it's shaped weird. Shouldn't be much more than two pixels that need to be added. |

The 1st one is fine, great job, the second one look alright' but what i don't like is the scythe's handle, in the middle it looks to thin, each side is pretty thick but the middle is say 1px wide, maybe another layer and it should look solid enough, but then you cold skip that and just give him another pose maybe.
dunno, its your art. _________________ ...eh? |
