yoyomon's 2D Gallery

Didn't have time to do much on the current 3D competition, so I hope some currently completed 2D stuff can kinda repent me. Planning to focus more on my 2D skills at the moment. I'll probably be updating pretty regularly b/c I need some stuff better for my folio.

Love the designs.

Critic:
I feel that the top concept's weaponry would much rather be seen on a muscular male then a female of her stature. She just doesn't look like she could lift that thing. I am reading that concept as a gun/rotating-blade weapon. Unless I am reading the concept wrong and it's a roller-gun-unit? If that's the case then it's very nice.

I like the elf girl, I was just viewing her headgear? the hood wouldn't be necessary but, I am not a concept artist so you can ignore my comments ;) .

This is a very interesting style you have. Although the colors are very flat, you still have enough going on to make everything very interesting.

The balance and designs of the characters are very solid. I especially like the top blond, but I have to agree with sinz, the weapon does seem a bit out of place, both personality wise and time period wise. Nevertheless, it looks cool:)

For the woodelf, it's a little hard to distinguish her hair from her hood. I see a few strands, but they are exactly the same color as the hood. Maybe if you made her hair black, or another color, it would be a little more clear. Besides that, I like how you gave her full length arrows and not some short sticks like artists usually create. These really make her look powerful.

Nice stuff:thumb: If you make more, it would be great to see them:)

The first thing that struck me about these...and I mean this as constructive criticism is that I was confused if they were male or female. There needs to be more cues as to what the sex of the character is unless of course it is suppose to be confusing. If not, the hips seem missing, the breastline is blending in and the face/body is a bit 'mannish'...particularly the top one. They don't read to me as what you intended but thats my 2 cents...

Your style is enchanting and I hope to see more of your art.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll try to implement what you guys said on future stuff.

With the first girl, I wanted to add a bit of steam punk to the piece. With the weapon, I initially intended for it to just be a saw that she can hack things with, but then I decided to add that barrel in the front to spit out smoke or something...for when she needs to get away. But I guess it can suffice for a gun....50 cal maybe hmmm?

For the elf girl, after seeing how ridiculously large the arrows were in 300, I decided to give her arrows that are twice as long as a man. Maybe she can use them as spears or javlins aswell. Meh.

I'll post up more as I get them done.
