Red Devil in Semi-realism

I honestly don't know if my critiques are any good, but I'll try :3.

First of all, I LOVE his torso. I think the coloring is excellent. The muscles are very well defined and you've shaded it well too. Seriously good, I think it's the best part in the whole drawing. <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/r/d…" alt="" title="droolplz" /> The wings, nice shading and coloring. The anatomy is awesome. so, skill-wise I think this excellent. His eyes look a bit big on him though, or not... I mean, it is semi-realism, but everything else looks so real and his eyes confuse me. I still get confused with what semi-realism is supposed to look like, so pardon my confusion <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="XD"/>.

Although he has like cliche devil features, I think that this is good because it's not trying to be desperately intimidating.

The colors work well with each other, and I like this better compared to your old one. One, because I think it's better drawn, and two, the more tanned skin tone in this complements the redness of his clothes and features.

I like how he has a serious emotion to his face and he is like staring you down and he's like pulling your attention to his eyes (or at least it's pulling me in).

I like how his clothing is simple, so that it doesn't detract from the other details. The wrinkles on his shorts look a bit awkward to me though, as if some parts need more and some need less. The wrinkles are well shaded though.


I like the way you portrayed the concept of the red devil.

Usually, when you think red devil, you thinks lots of fire, sinister, angry, sexy, or in general it is just loud (like a mary sue or somethin' like that, like pure evil and does evil things). Other people do a oppostie approach, like, making a devil have a sweet and inccocent personality.

Yours however, isn't loud or isn't trying to totally detract from what the general assumption of what personality a devil has; yours has subtle emotion to it, and not overly exaggerated devilish features, and ultimately gives of a better impact than the two previously mentioned. Although I wish there was some sort of background to give this some more impact.

I'm sorry about how I rated the vision and originality. I see a lot artworks revolving around a red devil concept. I like how you portrayed the concept, but I still think the concept is really common.

Overall, excellent work. A good portrayal of a common concept, and skill-wise, it is awesome.

On an unrelated note, I really think deviants should be given the choice of whether they want to use certain star categories when critiquing. In some cases the first two aren't really applicable so it's not really fair. (Ermagawshies, I think I'm getting sort of better at giving critiques now <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>)
