I'd appreciate feedback on this

[AwesomeMan]

If you read the title, you probably know why I'm posting. Can I please give me some constructive feedback on this?

First of all, the skull doesn't really look like a human skull. (Cheek bones too round) The helmet doesn't seem right either, the rock behind it looks more like a pile of dust which is partially covering the helmet. The shading isn't right and the cracks on the ground look like squiggles. Maybe you should make the cracks seem like they're really splitting the ground instead of black lines on the ground.

Mmmhmm, well as for the shape of the skull that's just my drawing style. As for everything else, I'll update the drawing for. Thanks for the help

See what I mean by making a crack seem like it actually split the ground?

why dont you try to draw an actual skull before choosing what style you are using. get it right then you can stylise.

The skull looks like a child drew it. The helmet looks like a green women's hat. The image does not pop. The gradient on the floor looks childish. The cracks on the floor are unrealistic. Hiding behind a "drawing style" is no excuse for being too lazy to observe an object and draw it. This is just a doodle, and a pretty mediocre one at that. I suggest when you ask for criticism you take a substantial amount of time determining if it's worth the person's time to critique.

As for the subject matter it's pretty boring.

Everything everyone above said. Also, the skull and helmet look like one single piece of paper leaning against another piece of paper that is a rock. It's all too two-dimensional. Try distancing one piece of paper from the other piece of paper. It should give you a little depth.

Why thank you or all of those compliments!

hey guys when I said "feedback" I actually meant "only good things, not constructive criticism." sorry for the confusion lOL!

What did he originally post? You didn't actually ban him for saying thank you, did you??

[Converse]

For being a smart-ass in a thread where he was asking for criticism that he was refusing to accept, you mean?

Absinthe was being too harsh IMO but he was posting actual criticism, smarmily dismissing him like that and ignoring the posts means that he was wasting space in the art forum and the time of the people who came with legitimate critique with a thread that apparently wasn't about critique at all.

I thought this place was less serious than the NG bbs...

[clockradioclock]

I actually thought Absinthe wasn't harsh at all. If I were looking for criticism, I'd want it in the way Absinthe gives it. I can't stand it when people say "Oh this is so good, I love it" when it clearly isn't. Not that this was the case, but it often happens.

[TequilaClock]

Umm yeah... if you can read this AwesomeMan, the criticism is necessary so youimprove, and Absinthe is one of the best around so you better listen to him.

It is.  The main rule of the site is mostly "Don't be an enormous douchebag."
That guy was being an enormous douchebag.

[SnakeClock]

i just posted it so i could find out how to post pictures properly, also if your gonna critisize me it won't make me a better drawer

This still cracks me up.

[Topcatyo]

That is a hilarious thread.
I'd goldmine it (because I can) but I don't know if it lives up to "Goldmine funny" standards...

[SnakeClock]

Let it stew a little, maybe AwesomeMan will come back and call us all bitches.
