shut up

i'm really into the halo world and this one made me h3pp1 f31c.
now i think that's pretty good as a simple toon, but i see some great potential in your skills and since you're such a great halo fan you could be the perfect machine.
you see, you mix two techniques (toony black outline and smooth color shading), but to me you should concentrate on only one for each piece, because the visual impact of your smooth coloring isn't as strong as the outline and can't fit with it. viceversa the black outline can't fit in a soft colored piece, as it ruins all the shading effects. hope it helped.

i'm a halo fan too

i like the piece but there are some improvements you should do: although you managed to do the hands and the face very well the arms; the forearms are too short compared with them. also the biceps are too long, look for some arm references to improve. the last thing i'd like to say is that the hat (or the face) has a wrong perspective. since i know it's a lot harder to draw faces i suggest to redo the hat.

PickledGear responds:

She is a spartan my friend, you couldn't tell by the picture but she is enormous, at 6'7" at around 200lbs of pure muscle, And with a still prototype augmentation process her limbs are a bit stretched. But that comes as a benefit in combat and absorbing a high powered weapon's recoil. The drawing is her only off day so with the humidity on the satellite (natural like the moon) being over 100% and she had been looking at the night sky for a while.
So she quickly tossed a UNSC cap (specially made for her) on and probably angled as if she were a "gangster" if you will. Seeing as she is apart of a Secret ONI project called HASHASHIN shes been given the liberty to let her natural hair grow out as well.

So I'm just letting you know most of the proportions were done deliberately since that is how she looks. You should see how SPARTAN-089G looks like, hes even more of a giant than she.

[Ezio (Assassin's Creed II)]

quite nice

i quite like the whole figure but to me the shadow on his face isn't right. you see, the hood has a tip and i can't see the respective shadow. also i don'like his smile, maybe the lower lip is too big and the background isn't so evocative.

p.s. Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, trust ME, i'm italian and i don't type wrong.
