crop and remove the "the"

add a dark gradient to the bottom

I think it's shit

he looks like a gorrilla.

>>4806372
don't listen to this shit advice.

The text should contrast more in terms of color. Red is too close to orange/purple. The text is a little small as well, and I'm not a fan of the weird stuff going on with the font.
The illustration itself is good. Maybe crop some of the sky around where the text is and move the text down over the rest of the sky, just because the characters are a bit small in relation to the total composition.

>>4806372
this sucks
>>4806389
i'm doing them in this size because i'm selling them and certain sizes are required for the shops
>>4806374
alright

Kind of looks like Psygnosis box art for an Amiga game

I like it. With a few tweaks I think it could be really great.

You need to make better use of light and dark tones to create contrast. The Griffin and Geralt should be the focal points but it's difficult to make them out. Also why is Geralt wearing blackface?

I also think it's difficult to read the text, too small and colour is too light and similar to its background. I agree with the first reply that suggested removing the second "the".

The image is very busy and cluttered at the bottom and the top is so bare. It looks unbalanced and not in a good way.

Good luck.

Save your spark and passion. Leave this shit board full of loomis schizos

thanks
>why is Geralt wearing blackface?
i don't know how to draw faces so it's "in shadow" lol

>>4807208
i don't mind getting different thoughts even if it's "it sucks"

>>4806362
better than the last one

I really like it but I would remove the text completely.

>>4807262
it's the 'theme' to have it, and it's too empty without it, plus i think it sounds cool

>>4807292
The quotes are cringle, typesetting and font choices are bad and distract from the rest of the piece. The art is great and speaks for itself. You don't have to fill all the space

I'm totally new here but these look great. Good job.

These both are very amateur looking and very poorly composed. Your biggest issues are stylistic inconsistency, and poor composition due to bad values & colors, not to mention thoughtless lighting.

Stylistically, these pieces are both all over the place. It's especially jarring in >>4807292. You have minimalisticlly rendered trees, then a crazy amount of noise/detail on the foliage at the bottom. This does not look good at all because the level of detail is jarringly all over the place (even within the figures). The background trees are a mess and arguably the worst part of the poster. They are extremely wonky and the blur effect looks terrible (and stylistically inconsistent to the vector look you're going for). Also - they have a a weird green halo around them - why? To top it off, you've decided to make the very back this orange/purply gradient, creating a large amount of contrast that is hard to read and becomes the focal point (when it should obviously be on the figures). And then - on TOP of all that background noise - you've decided to add a very tiny, extremely detailed typeface, adding even more clutter and making the words very hard to read (especially "Be wary of the..."). This was a terrible call on your part.

The Oxenfurt Forest one is better, but still suffers from most of the same problems. You have absolutely no sense of composition and you need to practice thumbnailing your compositions out first before you go in to thoughtlessly plotting things out. You need to think about how a piece all fits together. You need to learn what contrast really is and how it can be used to compose your drawing.

while i see what you mean, i also need to warn you i have 0 training in art, this is shit i learned by myself and i am also not doing much to improve myself other than keep having fun in AI because of my limited time because i am a wagie. I also feel like the detailed critique is a bit of a troll, but either way thanks for the feedback

maybe add some depth to the text. everything is so nice, but the text looks like its straight out of word art.
