Here's something I made a while back. Do you think the dramatic background detracts from the design? Should I skew the diver more to increase the perspective? Like the colors?

i would agree the bg is a bit much, because the perspective does the job really well.
And the way the picture fades at the bottom, i would simply let the windows and stuff act as the limit.
Nice scene anyway!

it doesnt need the gradient background.Maybe add some color to him and it would look awesome

I like the blue version more! I would also make the bubbles more obvious. I had trouble seeing what they were at first.

I love the perspective you achieved.

Nice work!

Wands at the ready

^ sry about that not spamming lol, I really like the image and in my opinion I think it is strong without any color. As for the background I agree it is a little over powering, however you could probably shrink it down or make some other reference to a distant surface. Really cool tho =D

^^ haha also if you have a sec could you take a look at mine?

i love all of it except the background light, it needs more work, maybe try another style.

Niceeeee ! :D 5

I like the background effect, light piercing through the water; I think it really makes the idea work! But i would fade it out just a little more....
Love green color on black, but the blue version does look washed out, so it could use some color.

Love the concept!!

Could you help me with mine?
LightSaber

Here's the next attempt. I lowered the opacity of the background, moved the hose out of the frame, and adjusted the bubbles to read better. Let me know what you think!

This might be a design to try different placements and sizes with.
You've got some really great details, having the design larger on the shirt could show them off quite well.

Now with color!

i love the lighting in the background. i kinda like the blue one best. I don't know if it's the brown color or not but it's lost some of it's 'magic' with color for me. the white suit was nice.

i'd have to agree with the post above lol ...but epic graphic

Yea dude this pic is pretty epic, I do like the white on blue the best tho, it'd be cool to see the color'd diver on the blue one tho? Just a thought.

Mine?

Bass Cannon

I actually like the colored version. Just be careful with the color count if you use shades. The only thing which irritates me is the fact that the head is bend, which is not possible with such equipment. Really like the idea and style of your drawing!

Suspects

huur...? I dint get it?

Less saturation on the suit. Darker gold color. More differentiation between the gloves and the body. Any more suggestions?

i like this color of the suit much better than the rest.But maybe try a different color background like blue maybe

can you critique my updated version?

This looks great, love the texture in the background and on the city. Graphically stunning.

If I was to be really picky the only thing that stands out, and it's only upon looking at if for a while, is the angle of the helmet to the body, it just seems that chest plate and the helmet would be a single piece, so to look down the chest would be leaning forward some what.

But that is a minor point, the overall style is great and visual impact knocks it out of the park. Great work.

Look forward to seeing it as a whole shirt.

This kind of has a comic book art feel to it.

At this point would say you did a really good job. The effect that the Green has on the Gold and Maroon is very cool.

If it's not ready for submission yet, then it is not far away.

Thanks, folks. Yeah, the head turning thing was a very conscious decision to take it in the cartoony expression direction. Without it the diver has almost no personality.

What if he had the creepy red rubber gloves? That would be cool. Not that it's not already freaking awesome, but it would just add to the awesomeness that is already present.

Take a look at mine when you can. Thanks!

WOW!!!!! this is really cool! show us the palcement and work on the color of the buldings! i'm not sure is I really like them white!
If you have the time, please rate & comment my submission :D

Very cool, I like the colors you chose, though I thought it was cool in white as well. I like the texture on the background. I'm assuming that it's meant for a black shirt, I'd be curious to see it on a model. I think it's ready to go.

If you can, please comment on mine:

I like the dynamic angle.

critique me

Brassyer helmet. Fixed some highlights. Now shown with alt Navy Blue design.

I really like the layout and concept, and maybe this is your intention, but I'm stuck in an uncanny valley of sorts. Is the diver supposed to be underwater (as shown by the bubbles out of the helmet) or is he supposed to be on land? Like I said, maybe this is your intention, coming from the title "Diver?"

If it's the former, I'd like to see some aquatic elements surrounding the diver and city and if it's the former I'd like a little more clarification (planes and the sort?) Nonetheless, it's looking good.

Any help on my design? Monolith

Yeah, my intention is to make the viewer wonder. Maybe that's a bad intention? I don't know. I enjoy WTF images, so that's what I made.

How about this? Added smoke and planes. I feel like it destroys the ambiguity that I liked about it before. Also afraid this might make it too busy. Check out that last version and compare it to this and tell me what you think.

Nice drawing...I would like to see it on a tee...Can you make the bubbles more prominent?

I would really appreciate your vote on my design.
Splitting up

Ok... How about this? I've never seen anything like this done before. It now a "3 different stories" shirt. Inside it's ambiguous, in sunlight it's a giant monster attacking a city. In the dark it's a regular sized diver examining a tiny sunken city.

Genius? Insane? Can't be done? You tell me!

I like the "3 stories" concept-great idea. Also nice illustration,pretty cool no matter how you look at it.

I don't know why you thought this needed critiquing, it's bloody brilliant all around

If you have a chance, I could use some feedback on my spider design.
