[Red dream]

Very well done. The skin tones are superb as well as the shadows and highlights, and everything seems to be in order perspective-wise. Nothing looks too big or too small or in the wrong position. I do think the hair could use a bit more detail... it looks a tad blocky. It doesn't really look like her hair is actually coming from her head, and the part that is flowing near her shoulder is too "perfect". Hair doesn't exactly do that too often. It will have the occasional strand out of place. Also the fabric over her breasts is bugging me. I wish I could explain what it is about it... but it feels off. I think part of it is that the whole picture is so smooth, but that fabric is jarringly rough. It pops out too hard.

Over all though, it is an impressive piece, and I would love to hear your techniques for painting this.

I totally agreed with you about the hair. i need to learn more about doing that.
what comes to painting this i used different tones of grey and blending toll and after that i colored it.
that fabric i just painted on the fly using different blending modes and filters.
on the background i used some smoke brushes that i found.

Really well done! The detail is outstanding, and not just in the dragon and the knight. The background has just enough texture in there with lights/shadows to really give it a good feel. Plenty of depth as well. Excellent color scheme in my opinion too.
Seriously, this is just an overall amazing piece, and I thank you for creating and sharing this with the world.

Thanks! Glad you like it

[Robin Arkham City]

Honestly, I like it. It has that whole hand-drawn feel to it that I often prefer to crazy detailed digital stuff. Plus I've been playing this game nonstop lately, and Robin is my 2nd favorite next to Nightwing in that game.
Anyway, props.

Thanks! :)

It may be simple, but it has all you need. I love it. Maybe it's just the nerd in me :P
