Here's my latest. It won third place on this month's Nikon Challenge (I won second place in May's Challenge).

It is a picture of my bicycle near the Sensoji temple in Asakusa.

Hey Sangetsu
I've seen a lot of your photos before on different threads, and I have to say, I'm a fan.

Always enjoyed looking at your pictures, and these two are no exception.
Since I practically know nothing about photography, I can't even attempt to critique you. But please feel free to post as many pictures as you'd like.


P.S. Congrats on 2nd and 3rd place!

No problem, glad I could be of service then.
By the way, your 3D stuff is top notch. Great.
thanks Kanji

Without that all I can say is that overall you have some pretty crazy stuff. Looks very... drug induced lol. It's a cool style you got, and you are very good with your colors.
But we can't give you any specific tips without a specific painting/drawing/photo to look at.
Arigato for the welcome ^.^ I really had no idea which one to choose but yea, i keep hearing that its trippy n stuff lol
Maybe i shall post in instalment ~with evil laughter >~ of my fav stuff xD in no particular order...
Also, i just realised that this is an art HELP thread xD baka me
But i guess others feedback would help for me as well. I wonder what people actually think of my junk.. so here are some.

Cool Sugoi art works xD - 06-16-2009, 04:49 PM

HAI!
This ish my first thread so be nise ^.^ (yes i know i said nise )
Well, if you have some art works that you just simply want to share, then just share here, throw them here, and etc. It's nothing but sharing really and for the oohs and ahhs.

Just some pointers (o kami)
-And by sharing, we shall all assume that the works here are copyrighted.
-And since there is already an art help thread, this isn't a thread to ask if your works are good or not. But just to simply share your works with us.
-Don't post works that arent yours, its stealing.
(did i miss anything?)

I hope this makes some sense and i hope i won't get sliced from a katana if there was already a thread like this.. this is a sugoi version ^.^'

Hey HikariTenrai.
I did a paintover of your picture of the girl named apple. Since I can't really critique abstract stuff.



It's not bad, just a few minor things that I noticed.
One is your lines, it's fine to make it sketchy, but you should try to get nice smooth flowing lines. It's particularly noticeable in the hair.
The biggest "flaw" that I see is her right thigh.. where is it?
although it's supposed to be hidden from view, if you look at it, you should be able to at least see the top of it where it connects to the hips.
Lastly I'd just say to study the shapes of human anatomy, you seem to have the basics but some of the forms look to wide, or too blocky, etc...

BUT, I love your paintings man, especially that first one, great colors. maybe you could teach me a thing or two about color theory

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I truly appreciate it. I must admit that this is a rather old drawing and i wasn't as experienced in art as i am now. The mistakes you pointed out really makes sense. Sure, i'm able to share some tips but i'm not sure what you're looking for exactly xD
Perhaps colour moods, colour mixing or etc... I must also say that i'm not a good painter >.>'
I tend to be good at abstract stuff mostly since im able to paint what i feel.
I suggest you guys try collages. I had the most fun with them and they help you to take things to the next level.
Of course, if you have any more questions you can ask
But thanks for the help once again RKitagawa ^.^

i really like your style. it reminds me of how my oldest brother used to draw before he went into the muscular everything craze. muscular women too... just not my thing. great sketches! keep it up

Edit: seems like you are the one that helps people improve their art... so i shouldn't tell you to keep it up, hahaha you are good.
