Dinny I just want to mention that although you've said you aren't in either of GIR's groups of why artists draw, I think you're wrong. Since you want other people to be able to find good art that contributes to a fandom, that means that you want your art to actually contribute. Shitty art obviously doesn't contribute (not that I'm saying your art is shitty, it's quite good), so naturally you'd want your art to improve.

Ya got a point. But that is also why I'd like a rounded/balanced critique if it's offered, because that actually will help me improve. Saying, for example, "the anatomy is incorrect", but not really providing any hints on where it needs correction/how to go about it just kind of frustrates me without solving anything.

I'm going to go out way on a limb here and say that my favorite form of critique is redlining. So if anyone wants to draw over any of my drawings, they're welcome to.

@ Noxid: That ref sheet is the uguuest. I say as I note that you are now watercoloring literally everything and that you're actually pretty good at it. I never imagined he'd be that tall, actually. Oh, and thanks!

The piglet girl on the right needs more detail, other than that it's good.

Diggin it, Dinny.

If you want to take your pixels to the next level, I would recommend increasing the number of shades of shadow. I know you're going for a simplistic look, but your asura look a little on the flat side if you know what I mean.

When I have a moment, I'll put an extra layer of shadow on this and see what it looks like. I think it might turn out nicely, actually. Shading is my #1 problem, though. I have a shading phobia. :p Every time I draw, once I do the lines and flats and it comes time to shade, I just groan.

Looks pretty cool dinny, although I'm not too familiar with the source material *shrug*


I made.
p102762-0-sparklecats1.png


Name: Black Steel - because xis heart is hard as steel and xis soul is black as the world
Age: 893.2 human years
Gender: Unknown
Sexuality: Omnisexual
Likes: The heat of battle, brooding in the shadows, Parachute Pants, anything by Panic at the Disco, the taste of blood, chai tea.
Dislikes: Loud noises, dogs, mushrooms
Smell: Like Twizzlers Pull N' Peel(tm) (cherry)

Bio: Black Steel is a cat warrior from the distant future sent back in time to prevent the release of the God of Destruction. Xis parents died while protecting them from his minions and their souls became infused in his blade - this is what gives it the power to harm them. Xhe was born with the mark of a bloody black star on his left cheek, marking his destiny in the battlefield. He was also born with a robot leg.

When black steel is not laying waste to xis enemies they spend most of their days deep in the secret time castle being mysterious and shit. Has no long-term relationships but will frequently engage in short romantic forays only to be heart broken time after time. Coincidentally, listens to Cyndi Lauper's Time after Time to help deal with breakups.

I don't know maaaaaaaaan. But I think sparklecats fit better with Avril Lavigne or Fall Out Boy or Green Day.

Here's a GIF I made in GraphicsGale. When he freaked out at Quote when I first played the game, I was highly amused
