Uni's blows mine out of the water, but we'll ignore that, k?
Been working on and off on this thing for about a week and I'm just happy to see it finished. It's Briar, the guy sitting on top of my journal.
Edit: And now that I'm fully awake, I'll go into more detail.
This all started when I mentioned that I wanted to revisit the idea that I used in "Lack of Colour", mainly the whole circular image + day/night comparison. I think I was the one who suggested to Uni that we should do it as a sort of collab since we hadn't done one in a while. She was the one who suggested Dom and Briar to be used as the characters since they are such polar opposites in terms of... well, everything.
If I recall correctly, I was the one who said Dom = Day, Briar = Night (in regards to this picture) and I'm not sure what I was thinking because Briar is the energetic asshole who always wears bright colours. Whoops, my bad.
Uni was the one who sketched out Dom first and came up with the whole "wing frame" thing. I just followed blindly and tried to make mine not suck
He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. 2 Kings 2:24 :)
Long time since I really critiqued anything from you (because you won't stop pwning and still refuse to).
Firstly, you did an amazing job with the concept. As the contrasting piece to *unicorn17ferret's, you did a great job bringing in your own style as well as your own perception. Secondly, all your guys are hawt. It makes me want to cry cuz I can't draw boys at all To add to the list of nice/amazing things you did: you made a galaxy in his hoody. Made me giggle cuz it's a cool idea. (I giggle about weird things...)
Your reach for artistic exaggeration left you working a lot on this piece, I can see that. And you did a skillful job of using textures... though I THINK you used the background texture for the whole picture instead of just the background. I can see straight horizontal folds in his wings (midway through his right wing). His hand by the stars has beautiful long fingers but his fingers are way longer than they should be compared to the rest of his hand. His left wing is much longer than his right. I can see you did that only to make sure the wings framed up. His left shoulder is also longer than his right... and he doesn't seem to be standing at an angle so it's slightly confusing.
But it's so pretty it leaves me in awe. Great job as usual

I've missed your critiques :D Seeing that extra long comment amidst all the normal ones makes me smile on the inside. I should start screwing up on purpose.
The background texture was the same as the wings, since I wanted to get the same feel that Uni had and she used the same texture for both. Unfortunately, it did end up looking a bit odd, so I tweaked it around a bit and hopefully this result is better. I also lopped off a couple inches from his fingers to make them less alien-like :D There's not a whole lot I can do about his wing or shoulder without completely reworking those areas of the image (it took me about 40 minutes just for those small changes to the texture and hand -fail- )
Man, I completely fucked up his left side
Thanks for the insight Sorry I can't change the other stuff (I always sound like I'm making excuses).

The wings look awesome now. And holy shiz... 40 mins to fix?! O_o You really care about your art. A lot of people are like "yeah I'll consider that the next time I make something" you actually go and fix things. :3 You're an artist, alright.
The index finger still looks rather long but, again, the overall pwn of the whole picture makes it hard to see anything that's out of place. There is, however, a small black line on the upper left corner of the picture that wasn't there before.
D: And don't start screwing up on purpose. XD And don't apologize for not being able to fix things. It just makes your next stuff better.

Explosions, car chases and dramatic scenes....this is what I look for every time!
Adversity is what people call pain for those who have lived through it. I still call it pain one way or another.
