oh I agree if this artwork was only for himself, but as he just dropped bucks for a wacom which ain't cheap, Im assuming he wants more out of his art than just personal statasfaction. Andif he does then that means hes gonna someday come into contact with editors, as in "if I don't like your work Im not going to pay you" and then the excuse of style wont save him, or anyone to that matter.

See to me there is two tpyes of style, there is personal style, and your going to have this no matter what, this is how you hold a pen, how you make a stroke basicly how you draw will come across in the painting, and then there is  open style like manga, western, watercolour-ish, heavy painted, soft colours, hard colours etc etc and a good artist should be able to work with all the open styles, if you draw manga you should still be able to draw western art, if you draw furrys you should still be able to draw people.

So no its really not subjective, there is such a thing as good art and bad art, and anyone who tells you different isn't paying you.

I'm a graphic designer, I have to think constantly about one thing.  A blank canvas, it's what we all start out with.  I then have to worry about what style to chose, color scheme, pictures, message, audience.  There are guidelines that I have to go by in order for it to appear professional.  I agree that there is bad design (art) and good design (art), whether the message is clear or the page is cluttered.  But I could have a project that is more professional such as a Realtor or something laid back such as a youth group.  Different styles different rules.

Now by saying all that, I'm adhering to your right and your wrong.  (imagine if Picasso had to follow guidelines when painting faces proportional.)   There is a sort of comic style potential there, it may not be what everyone is looking for, but for some clients that style could be.  But that is NOT the case here (business), he is learning.  I merely pointed out that the color could be acceptable when done that way, depends.  I'm not saying however, that he should not learn to draw within the lines either but from an "artist" perspective it's very subjective.  Just takes a little wisdom.

To add. Business is about taking chances, I own my own business.  It's not that big right now, but it makes quite a bit of money and landed great clients for the amount of chances I've taken. :)

I agree with everything you just said there, except "I merely pointed out that the color could be acceptable when done that way, depends.  I'm not saying however, that he should not learn to draw within the lines either but from an "artist" perspective it's very subjective.  Just takes a little wisdom."
I mean it is right, but when I was giving him crit I was giving it to him on his percived skill level, he will learn much more filling in his colouring rather than winging it like he did there. Sure you can break rules in the name of effect (I do it all the time) but you have to know the rules first.

And from that picture Im guessing he doesn't.

Well anyway, good job with the what you did do KaraBulut, I'm still jealous of your tablet. :D

Don't know if this where i should ask this, but it was the picture in this thread that inspired me. Also pls remember that i have absolutely no coding, modeling etc experience so have no idea what would be required.

Would it be possible to have the name/callsign of the pilot you are using, when starting up the game, to be shown on the plate beneath the canopy on the viper in game? I know if it is possible that it wouldn't be high on the list of priorities, just thought it would be kinda cool.
