I put a lot of work into this one so I am hoping it is the first one I get accepted. I meant for the kanji symbols to say "fear" so if I am way off base please let me know.

nice.. to make it more interesting

insert emphasis to the affected character rather having equal preference

I will take that under advisement. Thanks.

this is really nice, i put a new version of mine up

I like the design, it's a cool illo. The man's right arm bothers me a bit as it has a left hand on it. I think if you drew the kanji so they have a similar feel to the rest of the art they would fit more into the design.



I have a new version of my critique up, any suggestions would be appreciated! The River v2

I agree with ziem, I think the Kanji stands out too much compared to the illustration. and that is a nice illustration.

True. Infuriating but true.

it looks really good and i love this style art :) it is so cool. i think that if you are going to do a symbol than you need to us a brush that is like a real calligraphy brush. it makes it look so much better.



i think that it would be better if you used subtler lines like in this japanese style picture. also i thank it would add an amazing touch if you made the clothing have designs on it like in that link and this design



this is really great idea and i love it, and i actually wanted to help you to make it better :)



Take a look at my new design Forest Friends and Foes.thanks :)

I fixed the hand. I saved at a higher resolution. I got rid of the Kanji characters so as not to distract too much from the main focal point. I also touched up some of the line work where I thought the weight might have been a little too heavy.

I'm not sure how well will using the shirt's color as a fill color of the character work on a real shirt... Maybe give it it's own color?



Check mine out please?

Cat's Nightmare

Thanks!

I love this!! I used to draw all those Japanese ghosts too. And adding the fading background is a good idea. ^ ^



Good Luck

I love the illustration. It looks so good. I would submit this one.



Some comments on mine would be appreciated:
