Reflection on other's hero/villain

First I looked at Cam's hero, whose name I cannot find, and villain Caligula. I found his hero to be very creative with the attire, his eyes, and the colors. What I liked best was the colors: red & yellow, and gray & brown. I feel like the combination of red and yellow help show that this is the hero, while the brown & gray show that he is a knight. What I also noticed is the lite hue of red on the shield and how the yellow has a darker than normal hue - and I find this to compliment the two colors even more. I cannot see much regarding the lighting he used as the photo is so small, but it seems that its a consistent light on the entire figure which presents a noble mood perhaps. The movement is very superhero-like: quick, witty, and balanced. This superhero is good with his sword, and you can tell he is smart by his parallel movements. The villain, Caligula, is presented well as the villain with his hands in the air, sort of seeming to demand power. I cannot see many colors besides the skin color, and white garment; nor can I see any lighting (the picture is too small).

Next, I looked at Mike Stephen's superhero Minute Man. I really like how Mike drew his villain, with a very shadowed picture, and a variety of brightness/saturation. Shadows do not only occur throughout the entire drawing, but also (which I like a lot) on Minute Man's face under his hat. This helps create the impression that Minute Man is very mysterious. And though this mysteriousness can be confused with a villain, Mike uses good colors to rid the confusion. His use of a gold glove on Minute Man's right hand helps present that this superhero is noble and honorable. I like how he made the glove brighter than anything in the picture, which is symbolic in showing that here is where Minute Man's power comes from. He then saturates the gold into Minute Man's hat and ribbons, helping create a good complimentary combination of that gold and a saturated burgundy-colored suit. I found his movements to be fantastic - the ability to freeze time. And also with how Mike made him walk - so elegant and high class. It gives you the impression that you don't want to mess with this guy, and that he is well known.

Unfortunately, Maddie has not yet posted her image of her superhero or villain. I will update this later if she has it uploaded.
