eronix is an unknown quantity at this point
It's on an alright path, could use a wee bit more detail, and make the rotting nails a bit more.. well visible

Other then that, it's a good gfx, definitely keep up the good work.

EDIT: Didn't notice it, theres also two white dots at the bottom, you might want to get rid of those, they clash with the hands almighty power ;(

hm, i think it comes across quite flat, you put shadows in areas that make a really weird shape.

Also if you add some AA to the fingures so they are not so sharp then it might look nicer.

Shouldnt worry about the detail till you have the basic hand form. AS hands are pretty hard, so far thats good

Yes, Exactly what I was going to say...Been on pixelation long enough to give detailed crits eh, Tom?

Yes, so it's not really what Tom it isn't really the shadows that make a weird shape so much as I can clearly tell the way the top section of the hand is bending (I'm double jointed, don't ask) , rather it confuses the other shadows and you need to get them all looking nice together and having one solid lightsource.

The pointer finger shouldn't be anywhere as close to the thumb as it is on your picture. And for some reason, the thumb looks longer than the pointer finger. Also, the shading still doesnt make sence there. D:

You need to draw the rest of the arm, put a window, and behind the window a little kid in bed with dinner plate eyes....then it would be awesome.

Yeah so if I made an anatomically perfect hand I wouldn't be Zideruic. Besides my hand is creepy enough it doesnt need nails.

Oh and Raelyn claims it's a total failure and I should start again totally.

There is nothing creepy about that. Ugly, yes, but not creepy.

ok...I did this off of my own hand due to the fact you can see all the tendons in my hand and the bone in my wrist sticks out, it's kind of weird looking so I tried it on my graphics.

From the perspective of the line of sight you're using, each knuckle on the fingers would be slightly lower than the previous knuckle as you approach the pinky finger also.

Ok, dont take anything I say offensively.. Im just going to be straight up and point out the things that I see wrong with it. Firstly, You havnt chosen a valid light source, you should start by doing that. Second, the hand lacks alot of depth, i see that you're trying to detail it, but it still just has this "flat" feeling to it. I would say give it some round appeal, start with 3 colors, one highlight, one midtone, and one shadow and try to make it look rounded and give it some curves. Dont worry about the detailing of it until you have the natural shapes/curves of the hand down.

No duh it has detail, maybe if you would've thoroughly read my post, you would've understood what i was trying to tell him. I said dont WORRY about the detail but worry more about the depth/shapes.

This one took a bit...made the contrast better thought I'm fairly sure it's too bright in some places it needs to fade to the dark colors...will fix later.

The point of me posting is to get feedback and constructive criticism, not to listen to some narcissistic little prick bash what I'm trying to get help for.

In all honesty it does look a bit messed up. You gotta step back and look at it yourself.

The green does help a lot though.

Where in any of my previous posts did I ask for positive feedback, all you're doing is bluntly bashing every thread of mine you've ever posted in and some other user's threads, you're not funny, get the **** out.

I would post a big baby pic but Im used to e-crying. It looks like a metal hand that is horribly disfigured. The only way you can stop me from thinking that is to change it and make it better. Not my fault it looks the way it does.

I think people like yourself should know not to post on forums because there are people like me that are not just gonna sit there and say "O it looks ok" or "You need to work on it". Ima give you effing blunt truth, live with it. If a girl says you gotta small wang what are you gonna do? Sit there and cry?

You're not helping anyone by simply saying "It sucks" It's the plain and simple truth, obviously the point of this thread is so I can improve on a WIP.
