Feedback on my work?

Nyrryl Cadiz

You have great inking skills! Your colors are also cool. I really though Jake made this post when I saw your pieces. Good job.

Craig Imrie

@nyrrylcadiz Haha he is a massive inspiration to me, the reason I joined SVS but think I still have a long way to go before I'm that level.

These are really nice!

These are amazing, I want to try and give some constructive feedback but honestly, I just can't stop thinking about how awesome these are.

If I am to add any sort of constructive feedback it might be that some of the robots have parts that are together with that "floating" affect? I don't know what to call it but I'm just looking at some of the pieces that aren't connected and while it's very cool and works well with the art, I think a way to improve could be to figure out how to actually connect the parts mechanically. But I know as well that the future tech fantasy has that sort of magnetism going on to hold parts together so it also works!

But I just wanted to say that as a way to improve technically with your style later on. But it's all super amazing and hope to see more from you in the future!

@lauraa thank you

@jason-kilthau thanks for the feedback, I used to draw everything and spent loads of them working out "how it all worked" but somewhere along the line I decided to just go with what looks/feels fun to draw.
I'm also currently working on a wee web comic and did feel I needed to explain it in that, so (if I ever do get round to finishing it) that will have my made up science in it too

@craig-imrie
All these pieces are amazing! Love your style and your line weight. It's all very cohesive and really well done.

Critique on the coverpage with the robo-dogs: background color is a bit too dark; i'd try lightening it a bit, so your characters pop off the page a little more. Also, I can't read the title, so maybe the lettering should be slightly less abstract. For the Artillery piece, similar issues with the background being too similar in value to the foreground. I'd darken the robot a bit, and slightly lower the top half of the background.

@jcantwellart thank you, I really struggle with backgrounds and colours and will take these on board and give it a bash.

These are pretty amazing!

@craig-imrie Same. I spent so much time drawing in ballpoint and never bothering to color my stuff, that color and values are my weakness. I've already come a long way just from taking some of these SVS courses.
