I like the colors in both pieces, but I think that neo purple is a bit out of place and too much in the Daredevil image.

The foreshortening in the first image seems a bit extreme as well. You could also use a bit more contrast to push areas of the body forward. As it is, everything is sort of jumbled.

I think the second piece is much stronger, but anatomy wise, the right arm looks a bit long and head looks a bit small. Composition wise, I think it'd be more interesting to move the figure over to the left--implying that he's coiled and ready to unsheath his sword.

nice, did you use ref. for the first one?

thanks for the comments, whats neo purple... the one in the background? and yea the arm does seem to long... hmmm i dont get what u meant about moving him to the left...

as for refs no refs used here.

Hey man, nice pieces! Digital painting is hard to learn, so I have respect for you , I've barely scratched the surface myself.

I agree with blackhands comments for the most part. the only thing I would add is that the daredevil piece doesnt seperate frrom the background for me, so there is not a lot of depth...maybe define the character a little more so he doesnt have the same fuzzy quality that the background has.

The Samurai is pretty cool nice contrast, the fingers look a little thin maybe, just my opinion. great work overall!:).

I think Daredevil blends in with his own body a little too much, and those neonish colors are a bit out of place. Put a little more definition in him so he stands out more :)

But I LOVE your samurai. You have to tell me if you used any refs and where i can find um :D I need to try and do sumthin like that. It looks great!

Nice paintings. In the Daredevil pic, I think his hand gets lost even though it is painted nicely. Since it is coming forward, maybe force some more purple bounce light so it gets more attention, or add some of the green to the topside of the hand to contrast it. I think the right side of the cityscape and the edge of his figure is too ambiguous. It looks really good though.
