Hallucigenia 9811- score: 5 out of 10

Mongi:
Hallucigenia have stayed alive longer than I expected and they're getting better.

The definite highlight is Iris' ir-faer.jpg. It's nicely painted and gives the feeling of of feathers and fur. The creature is cute too. The lensflare is redundant, though. It doesn't fit in, and discolors the pic.

T. Bowlings rendered pics are nice, but still stiff. They aren't alive at all. There isn't any movement in the scenery, and the light is static. The details are good, but the light is often unnatural. Very seldom are there any dropshadows.

The rest of the pack is mostly average and newbie work, not that bad. I get annoyed by all the sketches, though. I appreciate "real-world art" (since I paint with acrylics and draw with ink myself), but sketches are more like "pre-art". Sketching is for structuring a picture and experiment a little before the real pic. Unless a sketch is really well done and properly shaded I don't like it as art. If there are toony sketches, they should at least be inked and colored! To make it short, sketches of that sort don't belong in an artpack! So there!

IR-BFAER.JPG was very good but would have been better without the lens flares. P3d I suggest you give the original artists credit on their work if you are going to throw some filters on it and sign your name, even if it is a painting as well known as The Scream. P3d's other pics were some of the best in the pack, assuming he didn't borrow anything from other artists. Once again, lots more sketches in this pack that just seem unfinished to me. The sketches are usually very good, but could be so much better with some good coloring in them. If the artist don't want to color them, an interesting sketched background instead of plain white might help the drawing out a lot.
