Critiques and ideas needed!
Mar 8th, 2006 at 4:29pm
 
Hey! I need your critiques (and ideas).

I designed/uploaded a personal website some days ago, and I would really like critiques and ideas... and, if somebody is really bored, I would REALLY appreciate a correction of the english version of the site (sure there are lots of mistakes I do not find).

Thanks in advance!!

I got the tablet this Christmas, before it was all "mouse"...

And yep, all colouring is digital... but I do lots of outlines (and let's not talk about sketches) on paper. It's easier than the tablet.

Glad you liked it!

I think your site is very nice. You are a very talented woman. Are you going to do any slingers? Smiley

At least, I'm going to try... but I'd need photoreferences  Undecided Suppose this is the best place to ask for them.

So, does anybody have any pics that I could use as photoreference?  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes (Bambi eyes)

Very cool narya!  I'll spread the word for you and have my friends visit your site.  It would be great to see a photoshop picture of slingers!  Please let us know when you have one on your site.

There are many photos of slingers in the gallery section of this site, especially the media gallery, You may find pictures of palestinain slinging in war zones Shocked.  Check them out, they might be good reference for you.

I am very impressed. Did you just fire this off or did you have this picture laying around already? Shocked

I've just done it now. I looked for the photos on the gallery, and there was one that actually looked good enough to try to use it... and that's the result.

Well, this is just a "sketch", the colour version will be (probably)  better... and will take more time and effort.

You can draw faster than we could sling!

narya the "quickest draw" among slingers! Wink

I think the picture was very good.  Packed with action.  One can feel the slinger moving her feet and swinging the rock at the same time waiting for the right moment to let fly.  If I have to be ruthless, i'd say her facial expression seems a bit odd.  Is she in  a confrontation? or is she just praticing?  is she skilled? calm?or focused? I know what she is doing but I can't make out what she is "feeling".

but Like I said i am being very picky and as a sketch I am sure such detail shouldn't be dwelled upon (may be i should have kept my month shut)Lips Sealed.  I give you 12/10!
