Artist's Comments

This originally started out as a small and simple banner for a messageboard called the bbxrae shrine. But this had so much potential that I made it into a full blown pic. Although I'm not a fancouple person (hehe, well...a little more bb and terra), I thought it would be nice to do something...cuddly...*prepares a noose*

SparkyX also did a wonderful collab on the lineart: [link] ;)

this will be ridiculously hard.. any of you guys have any crits? Because I can't post this on cgtalk, lest they suck the marrow from my bones...

Great drawing! Raven's not too mushy a person so this pose seems just perfect for her and BB. Looks great in colour but this piece looks like a dusk scene and I love the way the colour of their costumes matches where they are and the mood.

*hits you* You call that good? It's a great start, dad! The waves of the sea, the buildings, the sunset, it's perfect (well, nothing is perfect... but it's a close one!). I'm sure you can pull this off. You're a talented artist! You can do it, dad! XD

A wonderful, awe inspiring piece. I love the little subtlties. The waves, the feint light from the city, and just the way the light glints off the two of them. You should be proud :worship:
:iconleon-raven:

:iconpilgrimjohn:
I like the colors. That Sparky guy must be very talented to color something so wonderfully. Wonder if he'd color some of my characters...

Ye asked for a serious crit, and I be summoned.

Positive:
The general composition is terrific. This is pretty much THE definition of Rule of Thirds. BB and Raven are offset nicely, my eye is drawn through a nice sweep of negative space across the area with the sunset and water, and I end up looking at the city which is also offset nicely. Colors aren't exactly my strong point, but the overall yellow tone of the environment seems to be light enough to recede the environment into the background, and the darker colors on BB/Raven pop them into the foreground.

Needs work:
From looking at other examples of your colored work, I know that you're really good at working with strong light sources. A sunset is one of the strongest and most dynamic light sources I can think of (besides a nuclear explosion), and I think you could do a lot more with it. You could emphasize the silhouette of BB/Raven with some outer glow or something and then darken/saturate the shaded inner parts of them. This could force them into the foreground even more. Where their foreheads touch, you could add some contact shadows.
Also, there's a lot of empty space in the top left corner of the piece. I'm hesitant to suggest that you throw something up there because I like the balance of the piece as it is. If you add a darker mass of clouds like what you have going on in the top right corner, you should be able to:
1) use up all that empty space
2) not off-balance the composition, and
3) create something of a circular frame for the lighter parts of the piece to occupy

I hope this was useful and not too artsy-fartsy. ^_^
