Description This is one disasterous art work that i ever work on, and it kinda dimotivated me so much that i felt so depressed with the final outcome.

Things went well in the beginning, only during the coloring process things started to screw up one after another, first i messed up with the all the color keys until i have to rework on it to get it right (a few times) then i was overly ambitious until i overloaded myself it ended up with with no proper directions and more thing got messed up along the way, poor finishing, unbalanced colors and the final outcome was disapointing, The final screwed up is when i accidently overide the original PSD file flattenning the entire artwork with no way i can salvage back the raw file. That Sux!

i'm so depressed with this whole work that i don't even wanna look back into it, i'm gonna do some other things away from painting to clear off my dissapointment, it's a good thing i just bought a new MG Gundam strike noir to keep me happy for this weekend

C'mon, this pic is nothing short of breathtaking!! The electronics and cockpit machinery are very splendid, and I admire the emotional rigor the protaginist is going through!! Seriously, you still rock!!

For what you said to be a poor piece of art work, I can't even compare to what you have drawn. This piece is an example of what real drawin is. The amount of detail on the, well, everythin, is outstanding. The crease in the shirt looks superb, to say the least, and lets not even try ta start mentioning that console! I couldn't even dream of putting this much effort into a piece, and coming out even close to a result like this. How you can call this shit, is of course a wonder to me, but then again, pieces I have worked hard on, I feel have come out not as well as I had hoped.
All I can say, is, well done, and an out standing job. To still spend as much time on a piece like this, and feel its a bad result, help artists like me to aspire and push harder to make better of our selves. Thank you.

You're only as good as your worst drawing.

So I'd say you have nothing to worry about really. If you want a crit, I'd say add a little tiny indication of lighting from the muzzle, even if the windows are tinted/digitalized outputs, the bright muzzle flash would create a brighter yellowish outline on the figure for a second.

Hey man!!

Well, you may have had some troubles.. but it looks to be worth it!! I think it really looks great. The details are top notch and the colors are flowing and solid. As a matter of fact I think it's pretty amazing. I'm not one for animals piloting things but you make it really cool. So.. Don't fret and keep up the good work.

Your friend,

Mike

I must say that this came out pretty good! Tons of detail and the coloring style is awsome. Your art always takes in the viewer in a positive way. Makes me wish I could do art like that.

Keep the good work coming!

Casandro [2007-03-27 19:44:08 +0000 UTC]

Well I think I know what you dislike about your drawing. The colours are in deed considerably off your usual style. It looks somehow "fruitier".

However it's still amazingly great.
Just think of the amazing level of detail you put into that image. It's just so amazing.

BTW, I guess a lot of us would be happy to create a backup solution for you that would prevent you from accidentially overwriting your files.

i don't know... i like it. the flatness itself gives it a style. i'm sorry to hear that you're very upset with it; but on a whole i think it works in the rather flat style. i'm glad that you did upload it despite the bad feelings towards it.

dude. and he still goes. You know what it's like? It's like playing basketball against a guy and having him school you, like, 45-2. Then, after he's done wiping the floor with you, he looks at you and says "Dude, that was so bad. I just got back from knee surgery so my knees really stiff and hard to run, and my elbow keeps locking up on me, so it's hard to shoot."

Oh wow! This looks perfect! Love the colors, detail and everything! I know what you mean about accidentally flatening and saving the file but you can just undo and it will pop back and just save it again under a different title. That is unless you closed out PS already. Sorry to hear about all the stress and stuff. Keep yer chin up bro.

Lawd, there has been a lot of work with those buttons and glows on the control board

Very interesting ideas and details, must say. Keep it up. This only lacks a "texture of realism" you used to put on some of your works that I waited little bit.
