Last week I decided to set up a deviant art account to gain some feedback from other students and designers around the world.
"DeviantART is an international online artist community. It was launched on August 7, 2000. DeviantART aims to provide a place for any artist to exhibit and discuss his or her works. As of June 2008 the site consists of over 7 million members and over 57.5 million submissions, and receives around 75,000 submissions per day." (www.deviantart.com)
As I am in the process of creating my final major project, I thought it would be a good idea to add my illustrations to the site to see what sort of response I would recieve as I had been working on them over easter with no feedback from anyone.
Although my illustrations have only been up for about a week, the response has been really encourageing with some postive feedback and people adding them as favourites, which I an delighted with. So far 9 people have added the illustrations as their favorite and I have recieved 4 comments, which say...

Another good piece, you did a good job at matching the faces. This is alot smoother than the others. Your joker is very exploding and aggressive, the rhianna is like a get wild. Very good work.

Another excellent piece. I personally recommend you consider putting a background on it. Nothing too advanced. just like a fade on it with some corresponding colors. Just my opinion.
I was really pleased with the response and my confidence has grown alot since revieving this feedback. I think the idea of showing your work to designers from around the world is a great source to get your work seen at by many different designers. I also find the site as a good research tool as I find myself looking at the site on a regular basis. I will continue to add work to the site to gain some more feeback and advice.

That's a good way to get feedback on your work. People commenting on your work wont pull any punches, they'd give you their true opinion where as someone you know may hold back a bit. I do really like the look of the illustrations, it's a style I want to work with but never really had a go at.
Yeah this was the reason I put my work on here. I asked family members and friends if they liked them and they all said yes but like you said, they could just be saying it to make me happy.
If you get round it, I would advice you to put your stuff up there too. The comments and advice is really useful.
