| 3 May 2005 |  Jennifer Russo |  Loading...Drawing a bipedal humanoid on the legs of a quadruped is one of the most difficult challenges we fantasy artists face. In fact, it's very rare that I see it done well, and it's something I myself couldn't begin to do. Excellent work. I love the lusty look in his eye; it really reinforces that faunish nature. (;  Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "He does have a powerful expression, I agree." | |
| 17 Dec 2005 | CaLvinL | Loading... I can see what you were going for with this one. You wanted to show the reflection of the water onto the trees and rocks. You kinda did it, but not exactly. And the way that guy is playing his harmonica is annoying me. -_-'  Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "I'll try harder next time." | |
| 15 Mar 2006 |  Katherine V. Clements | Loading... Wow...nice drawing! Don't worry about the coloring, it looks fine! The anatomy and positioning look great. The only thing that bothers me is his mouth; it looks like he's drinking from the pipes rather than playing them. I'm not a musical expert, but I've always seen pipes played with the lips pressed together in a "whistling" or "puckered" pose. Of course, he could just be holding them by his face and grinning wickedly rather than playing them.....But that was the only thing that bothered me. Other than that, it looks really good!  Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "Yeah, people have pinted out this mouth thing time and time again. Maybe some day i'll make a new version just to fix that... or swtich the instrument for a trombone." | |

You don't blow directly INTO pan pipes, you blow over the top, like blowing over the top of a soda bottle. So to have the pipes parallel to the ground, he'd have to have his head thrown really far back.  Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "Yes, yes, thanks for the feedback. *hinthinthint* Look above. ;^)" | |
| 18 Dec 2006 | Anonymous | Loading... He looks like he'd be more comfortable with a bottle in his hand, rather than the pipes. Heh heh =) otherwise, great work. The colouring is actually the aspect i like best.  Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "Than imagine what it would looked like if it actually ended as I imagined?" | |
| 21 Jun 2007 |  Steven Warner | Loading... Be hard on yourself. Otherwise you'll never see anything wrong with your artwork. Therefore, never have a desire to fix your mistakes and grow. The best tool use could have is photographs and references. If you never understand what a real goat leg looks like, how would you ever be able to draw a goat leg? Good Luck with your journey. IF you want further advice, email me. Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "Indeed. Unfortunately, I'm currently too busy for developing my art skills. Hope to change that ASAP." | |
| 11 Jun 2008 | AlpineBob | Loading... What everybody has failed to realize is that those aren’t pipes at all; he is about to use his rapid-fire multi-barrel blowgun to take out an annoying mockingbird. Gives a whole different meaning to "I was blown away by his pipes."  Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "I haven’t figured any excuse much better than this one...." | |
| 19 Sep 2008 |  Rachel Kelly Tipaldi | Loading... Very well colored with your computer. Great piece. | |
