the negative comments just show how ppl at mh understand art, its annoying to see really, esp coming from artists who aren't exactly accomplished.
i'd love to hear what you think could make it better!
as for myself, i think its great in terms of lighting and palette, and the little shine details look really neat. there is no one at this forum able to compete with you at cellshading. admittedly, it's not your best work, but calling it your worst is just unintelligent.

Looks beautiful, but I think this is not its full potential, you are able to do a thousand times better.
I think the Berto also does a beautiful job on cellshade is not just classify DD as sovereign in this category.

"There is no one at this forum able to compete with you at cellshading" That's an opinion. I personally love Amaretti's cell shadings, even though she has any done one that I know of. There are so many different styles when it comes to cell shading and it all comes down to what your preferences are. DD is a top cell shader and is a Jack of all Trades when it comes to digital art.
To sum up what I said... Dynamic is among the best on this forum, he isn't the best.
People I consider to people on or close to his level of cell shading. These are people I love to follow and jump for joy when they have a new piece.
Amaretti
Berto
V-3
Ziaja
Chopperman
I'm respectful disagreeing with Lee-nus and his opinion. I'm not at all expressing any animosity towards him. Lee-Nus you're one of the few people here who have helpful critiques. Lol. Sorry for all the text.

very well, it is an opinion, and i don't mind you disagreeing with me of course. im actually glad there is some discussion here for a change.
however, without mentioning any particular names, there are those among those you mentioned who barely know the first thing about lighting and anatomy, and its almost insulting to mention some of them in the same sentence. if you like them personally, thats one thing, but they just dont play in the same league if you look at art in terms of lighting, anatomy, creativity and so forth.
oh, and i wouldnt call amaretti's art cellshading. she's the best at what she does, that's why there are so many pathetic attempts at copying her style.

amaretti does not do cell shades x_X... its her own style of matte painting.
and i dont think some people on your list even comes close to her level at all what so ever.
if you look at ziaja's works, they're merely another replica compared to what i've done. theres always an element from my own piece that he's used already. you do realise that most of my cel pieces have orginal light sources compared to almost all other heres, and im not being arrogant. i just notice it. but if i post anything before others, they tend to copy what i've just done which doesnt really strike an impression to me because i've already done it. they end up just doing a failed attempt.
this is what happens when amaretti posts something, others try to copy her, but it doesnt look anything like her's. But u can tell that they were trying to achieve that style. basically a failed attempt, which again does not impress me at all.
with my cell pieces, i carefully analyse the pictures before i decide on a light source. i usually dont do flat overhead lightings, compared to others here who cell shades. I like playing with light to get the best effect i could get. with this cover, even i was unsure how it would turn out, because of the character's expression not matching the back ground. so therefore i tried to simplify the back ground and bring out the character more. i also like working with multiple shades, so i tend to block out a lot of areas, it adds more depth to normal cell shading.
but yeah, that just my two cents. i appreciate critiques, but i dont appreciate it when people just insult your work without giving a reason behind it, especially when they're copying you in the first place.
peace!

Let me speak my mind. Those all "must be like the anime" artists do not have their own style. They're just copying the anime. A style is something you develop on your own. I don't intend to insult Dynamic Dragon or any other of these artists, I'm just typing what I think.

Correction:
wrong. admiring someone is not wrong. learning from them is what makes you improve. copying what theyve already done, is whats wrong. I can see that half of your gallery consists of re-renders of what i've already done.
no. even when it comes to making something look like the anime, your style will STILL be implemented on it. this all depends on your understanding of lighting and where to place shadows when it comes to cell shading. what you said is just as petty as saying that someone painting just copied the old painters. so yes, style still exists on how you approach your piece. thats they whole point of calling it a 'style'.
here you go

I think I favored Ziaja's work so much because it resembled yours. With the exception of DD, Amaretti, and Berto (Because they already do their own thing.) the list of people I mentioned were those I feel like have great potential if they did they stylized more of their work.
About Amaretti's work, I know she doesn't cell shade, what I was referring to was the one cell shaded piece she has done. That one piece looked amazing had was very much her style.
Admittedly, I have been trying to get the same look he has going on. Just because it's amazing. I'm glad I took part in this thread, it's definitely going to make me think thrice when I'm coloring something now.
