Oeoe, so many lines :3. It's very nice how the lines just go straight into the distance on the right side of the drawing, like the subject is gradually disappearing into thin air, being blown away by a strong cold winter's wind. Also the contrast between the vertical lines in the background and the more horizontal lines of the subject looks very nice, gives it more depth. Very nice.

Love the drawing, it's great! Yeah well, not meaning I'm supporting the idea behind it or anything, which would be quite obvious but I'm just taking the safe road *hush now*.
Anyway, life and her lies, no escaping from it. Only hope it won't happen to you. The contrast is great, the white tone of the 'saints'' bodies, the aureola around their heads, very neat.
Also, tag "fuck", very subtle :P.

*painting :P

That's a very interesting story. Hair sometimes serves the same function for me, but I've got rather straight hair, so it works for me. Although other people don't like the sight of it, obviously, I've had experiences.
Aaanyway, in my humble opinion, if I may, I do see the emotion in your work, the idea and stuff. Sometimes not, but I guess it also needs a little understanding, and maybe my life just didn't suck that bad. The expression in your art really shows, to me at least, partially because of the quickness it seemed to be drawn with, almost sketch-like. The many lines are like wavering emotions that cant be stopped and straightened. Or maybe I'm just over-imagining things, but that's my idea.
I personally love your art mostly because of that expression and emotion. Even though this is not really my cup of tea qua style, I'm more the realistic and detailed kind of art-liking guy, this certainly found a place in my favourite arts.
Also, it's a shame you hate to write the meaning of your drawings down (or didn't you mean that?) because I'd really like to know the ideas and emotions, but if it goes better via art, I wouldn't want it any other way.
So if that's failing, you're not doing it good, or my head is weird. Don't exclude that.

Also, this is one hell of a long text, why did I get carried away like that? Apologies for if you read this long blabbering all the way through.

nono it was very much appreciated! to be honest i like writing a statement loosely associated with the work, but i like seeing what other people think. kind of like a trigger for people to think for themselves instead of acting likw fine art critics and going with the flow of what they think is a symbol for human bullshit and politics.

Just came to see this drawing again and noticed that I didn't review it! And I do want to review this one because I really like it. Especially your accident, I like black :3.
But really, the black really does it, in my humble opinion. I like the drawing, the statue is very very neat and symmetrical (I hate things that have to be symmetrical, and they hate me), plus the folds, if they are folds, look really nice and are well-placed.
The guy, or girl, standing in front of the statue looks really nice as well, I remember you telling about it but I'm terribly sorry to say I forgot who it was. The claymore is pwetty too, although you could have coloured the sheath a bit more thoroughly, it looks a bit rushed now. To many roughness visible, if you get what I mean.
Also, the wings are indeed very impressive, and actually look like wings. Unlike my creations, maybe you've happened to have caught a glance of my failures in the wings-subject?

Anyway, hmm, maybe I should have divided the pros and cons a bit more, I don't see the structure in my comment any more.. Ah well, now a few cons then, to justify why I didn't gave you the last half star :P. Yeah, the houses, they look a bit like they could be houses made of jelly for little gummibears. Nah, maybe that's a bit exaggerating, but the lines do look rather wobbly and skewed :P. So that's half a star, because the blackness that really makes the stars stand out and really give you that night-feeling, make it alright again.
As a little detail I would like to add that you did well on the stars, you haven't drawn too many nor have you drawn too few. Maybe it's just me, but I think a starry sky can quickly look like a with snow covered black hole. A black hole in space, don't get me wrong xD.

So it's a 4.5/5 for you! Congratulations, and may I also add that I was happy to follow it's part of the process of making which happened during class? Great job!

MaartenC responds:

Oh, so you're into black, eh?

Anyway, thanks for the review! I have found that the houses are a bit... rushed, indeed. I will improve them next time.
The wings and the cloth took a shitload of effort, so thanks for noticing that! And I'm not supposed to tell you who it is, since that's a surprise for a whole chapter (wayoo).

Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow again. Later dude.

Great drawing as always, I love it!
With the lonley man in seemingly high-tech clothing walking all alone in a barren wasteland where the ground is barely or not at all touched by the light of a sun, you really get the feeling it's somewhere in outer space. Also, the clouds floating around make it look even more dangerous to live or walk there, maybe it's poisonous! Well, I doubt it would be oxygen, maybe it's lemonade! Just a random thought, but then the sky would have another colour..
Anyway, the overall picture, I adore it. There's the shadow I like, the landscape and the vague landscape in the distance make it more 3d.
The only con would be that his right leg, left for him, seems like it's a bit translucent, like blending in with the surface, but I shouldn't sweat on the details xD..

5 out of 5, definitely!

O.O I thought the mouth was her nose! So I was already admiring her overlarged nose, ofcourse.
Anyway, I like the drawing, the shading on the cloths is really well done, sth I personally like very much ^^. But like is said before, you could have made the glance and glimmering on the sword more realistic to the sun. Also, you could put more shade around the forest behind sweet exciting octo-mouthnose girl. It now looks to me more like the trees are pasted on the paper.

Nonetheless, well done!

Great painting, especially the lighting and stuffs.
And it's made with computer? O.O
But can I ask you a question?
What exactly is it? xD It looks like a big enchanted sword (Obviously..). Maybe the Sword in Stone from Merlin?

Qikalain responds:

Yeah its painted with photoshop and a wacom intuos 3. Well it's a painting for the Cardgame Inferno. It's like Pokemon or Magic the Gathering but with demons. This card is a sword made of glowing metal, called iluminium. That's all they told me in the card description ;)

Yay :D, it has been uploaded!
I saw the earlier drawing, as you may remember. Quite nice picture, as I may say.

But there are indeed a few cons (pro's too, but that's later on).
First of all, some minor faults in the fine-lining. Some of the "roundings" (for example the girl's hair/ eyes of the cat) are a bit too hooky, if you know what I mean. Maybe you could try somehow to soften it.
Two, I think the lack of color/grey-white shadows here is quite a con. The drawing is too empty, in my opinion.
...
That was it I think. Though, I am sure there are more tiny, tiny cons. But my awesome eye only just missed them ^^.

Pro's indeed, are the eyes. I like the eyes. If the original maker of this character meant her to be cute, he did a right job on those eyes :). And you drawed them perfectly in that way.
Rest of the graphical/drawing stuff is good too. The hands worked out very well, but that's partly because almost all the hands I try to draw suck :P.

Keep up this wonderful work, but don't mind to try more difficult stuff (and colour them, but that could ruin the picture too, I know that).

MaartenC responds:

Ah, finally someone noticed... The hands really were a bitch. Thanks for the review, Sammetje. I'll keep in mind that the background needs to be added to the next drawing.

Nice, really nice :).

I like the nose, it's well done and not in a wrong size. Because the noses I draw always get something wrong.

However, the shadows. They didn't work out really really well, maybe you could have faded it a little bit.
But they are at the positions where they belong, and that's a good point too :D.

Due to the lack of colors (which isn't a minus) I'm more looking at the shadows. Because they give some color to the drawing, if you know what I mean.
And when they are not very perfect, I am inclined to dislike it. Which isn't exactly true with this one, but it's a minus of one star :).

I recommended you for the portal, because I know you can draw fuckin' well :D. Godd luck with other drawings!

MaartenC responds:

Sammetje! This review was surprisingly good, especially from you (no offence :D)!

Anyway, I know I kinda fucked up with the shadows (mask) and I CAN finish that, but due to unfortunate reasons (laziness), I won't fix that. Also, the shadows in the real life drawing are better (mask not included), but that's the scanner's fault.

Thanks for your recommendation for the portal and thanks for the compliments!

Whoosh.
