And this is me jumping in again!

For the extra half-point: My guess is Aladdin & Jasmine! And there’s a tower silhouetted against the moon out one of the windows.

For my entry: I did the scene that made me think Aladdin lol

For my pieces: I did it musical chairs style! I used the snake as sand, the sand as fire, and the fire as the snake! =P

Love your thread. You got some great pieces here.

Nolb,

I like your work.  You have some very interesting ideas and you have a good grasp of style but I’m going to assume that you posted your work to get some critique.

There are some minor issues that you can address that will make a vast improvement on your work; little details that will make a huge difference.

Your Amazon’s face looks a little too small with larger than standard eyes.  It’s sort of like looking at an adult with a teenagers face pasted on it.  Transforming the face slighty larger will help.

You have a minor issue with layers.  If you look closely at your Amazon, you will see that her necklace appears to be beneath her tattoo.  The same can be said for her bangs falling beneath her eyebrows.

If you transform the brassiere horrizontally, you won’t have any issue with side-boob escape and her loincloth needs to be centered a small bit.

I don’t know where the lines across the image are coming from but they have to go.

Other than the above, a very fine piece of work.

P.S., I don’t do a great deal of work on HM but I’m a stickler for details like I mentioned.  I may not have much in the way of talent but what I do, I try to do as best as I can so don’t take anything I say personally and of course it’s all my opinion.  Cheers

Decided I aughta have an avatar, at this point!

Ended up snowballing into actually being probly my most ambitious project to date. I thought “why not try n make it look kinda like me?” which turned into “why not try n make it [i]really[/i] look like me?” which turned into “lets see what exactly the limitations are on HM as far as producing photo-realistic art” lol.

Soooo… ended u spending like 2 hours with a reference photo trying to get the shading just right. Think my vanity [i]may[/i] have gotten the better of me though, because the finished product looks about 10x prettier and about 10 years younger than I do >_>

Been away from HM for a bit (life got kinda hectic this new year) so here’s an update:

Thanx for the explanations on the power user/etc. phenom.

TYSM to everyone who nominated/voted for my piece in Hall of Fame! <3

@Lull-carae: Omg, wow, such a detailed response! Thanx a bundle for the feedback and encouragement! Right there with you on shadows n darkness, btw; I adore those in pieces. Tryna make sure I don’t become the Zack Snyder of HM, cuz everytime I do a redesign it seems to come out darker, both literally and metaphorically lol

Aaaaand, new pieces:

“Dearest Randine,

I sold our wyrmhide to John Forgetaylor, best armorer in the land. I stood at the edge of his shoppe watching him work his hides with hammer, fang-awl, and tempered curve-needels. His smiths make the frames, of course, and his hot-sawyers remove the fangs and claws to save him time. I had only missed the careful butchery of a wain-sized mother and colt-sized hatchlings by a day, my luck. But with the ev’n came free heat for the township, as the smiths and hot-sawyers had broken open her heart the reste of the way, and the grinders had already begun the final shaping of the egg-shelle fragments. Forgive me, Randine, as I will no doubt be a full two days late returning. I will, however, return with the shaped plates for our engraver personally, and so we will save enough on the shipping that we can have our whole wedding party dine upon our new dish pattern.

All My Love,

Mychall”
