Wow - this is sumptuously captivating! The moment I laid eyes upon this, I was instantly drawn into the image, and simply could not shake free. There is so much to comment on here that one is lost for a place to start...
Firstly, let us cast a scrutinizing eye over the wonderful lines of DawidFrederik - a fantastic drawing forms the basis of this collaborative work, from design to characterization. The pencils are very crisp and clear, presenting the fine detail without unnecessary ambiguity or clutter. The exaggerated perspective embues the piece with a hightened sense of heroism, dynamically forcing the angle to best emphasize the action as it unfolds. Distinction between the purposeful styling of the figures and the loose, free-form approach to the background domiciliary really adds another dimension to the illustration, building the composition to another level. The design of the focal character is refined and interesting, an amalgumation of war-time flying-ace and contemporary big city taxi driver, with a distinctive steampunk bent. The expressions are simply charming, warming the viewer to the piece as a whole. Great work.
And then there are the lavish colours of Bakanekonei - so deep and rich, but never excessively overpowering. Bold, yet contained, the vibrant hues are well rounded by the skillfully applied shading, filling in form and presence. The muted palette of browns and greys is well ballanced with exciting flashes of blue and green, injecting visual interest into the overall scheme. The clouds, in particular, demonstrate a dream-like watercolour aesthetic, and juxtapose perfectly the rusted texture of the character's metallic flight-pack. Lighting effects are put into good use for added attraction. The finished illustration reminds me somewhat of the promotional artwork for this classic video game - [link] - although that's a pretty tenuous link, I must admit. This is a truly magnificent achievement, however, full of life and personality, and the pair of you should be very proud indeed. Well done to you both!

This is really nice. I have a problem with the leg-- I understand what you're trying to get through with your stylization of them but I can't help feeling that it looks like they're cut off. That's my only problem with it. Your coloring job is amazing.

Whoa!! 0_0 Totally mind-numbing awesome!!!
The colors are incredible! I love the concept, the hard-core perspective use, the costuming and the lights on the meched out arm-- just all so cool!! XD
Critique? Uh... Just the steam coming straight out of the jet pack I guess. It doesn't look quite as "poofy"/rendered as the buildings' steam, maybe up the contrast of light and shadow a tweak. ^^
YOU GUYS ROCK MY WORLD!!!

i'd re-work the gesture of the guy. but that's just me. beautiful pallete...what program did you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
photoshop. and what do you mean by gesture? you mean expression?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, his expression doesn't bother me. what i meant by gesture is the way his body is situated.

ah i see, well it was made a certain way for the perspective and attitude..but yeah, he would have looked good 10 million other ways as well lol/

WOW! Absolutely fantastic - both the drawing style and the colouring. What a strange transportation service - I love the expression on the taxi 'driver's' (if you can call him that!) face! By the looks of that scar it seems that he might have had a few accidents, perhaps?
I especially like the fur of his collar and the overall colour scheme is very realistic, but eyecatching at the same time. I think this collab was well worth the time spent.
