Cave Story FanArt

Now is the perfect time for a CFWTF face.

 

I believe the correct CF response is: no u!

 

This is the correct CF response:
If there is no nudity taboo, then why aren't there any naked Mimigas? Because it's cold? Well then they would wear long sweaters (tunics) to conserve more heat.

 

If there is no nudity taboo, then why aren't there any naked Mimigas?

But there are. *cough*Chaco*cough*

 

Not only does she have purple fur but she also has a giant, blue sweater-shaped tumor? The poor girl. I suppose that red thing on her head isn't actually a barrette or comb, is it?

 

But Chaco wears a blue shirt.

Oops. Sorry, I didn't notice that.

Well they have no taboos against nudity of the lower regions at least.

Though, this assumes that Mimigas are anatomically arranged in the same way as humans. While that's likely, it's not certain.

Well many species on Earth such as dogs, horses, etc. store their *ahem* sexual organ internally.

 

This is not constructive criticism. It's just plain criticism: "your art is bad and this is why". Constructive criticism would also add "but you did this and this well".

What would you have me say? "But overall, Jacakalope, those were very nice pictures?" "Nice Cave Story fanart?" Not only would that be a crock of shit, it would go against the reason I wrote the critique in the first place. I criticize when I write critiques because the purpose of criticism is to pass judgment on, not to promote the work in question; if I find something good about a work that's otherwise mediocre I don't mention it because I want the creator to understand that I think it's mediocre. If I thought it was fucking awesome then I would say that, and only that, because that's the point I want to get across. And if it was fucking awesome I wouldn't have found any flaws in it anyway. Constructive criticism gives tips that can help the creator improve. It has nothing to do with praising the creator.

Criticism is "your art sucks". Constructive criticism is "your art is bad and this is why". Putting in "but you did this and this well" is a courtesy to the artist, but the absence of such a thing does not make it less than "Constructive criticism", it just means that the person who wrote it has little regard for the feelings of the person he is communicating with.

 

Criticism is "your art sucks".

No, that is stupid. This:

"your art is bad and this is why".

Is criticism. Constructive criticism is not a single term, the constructive part has a meaning of its own, the antonym of which is destructive or something similar.

I'm not commenting on whether or not that post was constructive but I'm tired of people throwing those words around arbitrarily.

 

Finish it in five minutes.

I burst out laughing at that one.

No, that is stupid. This:

Hmm.. I looked it up and it seems you are right. Although the way the word "criticism" is used in common speech would suggest otherwise. *shrug*

Nice one. Poor Doctor...

 

Balrog King? And I don't mean the toaster variety of Balrog.
Where's his flaming whip? Or is this a reference to something I don't understand?

 

if I find something good about a work that's otherwise mediocre I don't mention it because I want the creator to understand that I think it's mediocre.

Well, if you don't mention the good side, it's a lot more discouraging for the artist. If you say "you did this and this and this wrong, and it would be better if you did this", that's rather discouraging to hear. If you add something like "but at least you got this right" then there's some encouragement there. Perhaps there are other ways to add encouragement, though.

the person who wrote it has little regard for the feelings of the person he is communicating with.

Indeed, which in itself is a good reason to avoid omitting the good side. It's a matter of respect, I guess.

I think it is a reference to this:

Lovely, though Quote's eyes creep the living hell outta me.

But then where's the bones? And the Demon Crown is on the Doctor's head, not Kings. NITPICKY! It's a really great drawing, though.
And DynaShock, please never stop Sharpie-ing it up. Your art keeps getting better and better (and more colorful).

 

Here's a little sketch of Sue I did. My scanner isn't set up so I had to just take a picture.

Kind of a blank expression, but still better than anything else I've drawn.

 

Haha. That she does. I fail at face expressions.
