Admission of error does not excuse you from it, but I think everyone here is being too harsh. The left leg is the main part that gets us because it is shorter than the right yet closer to us. Other than that, judging the anatomy of a fantasy doodle is kind of silly isn't it? I bet the fact that you made it in a painterly style makes it more open to criticism just because people are expecting a more finished project than sketches or lines. But I imagine this was something of a sketch of yours as well, not a finished product at all. Newgrounds supports that, so I don't see the big deal. I liked the hair and the face. But I don't really vote down what I don't like, just ignore it. Keep it up, you're doing fine, people are just silly is all. :)

haehyun responds:

oh no worries, I'm not all that phased by the other reviews. This isn't a piece of artwork that's not getting the admiration it "deserves." And bad reviews happen when you post your work on the internet, just a way of life. No need to dissect the minds of newgrounders.
Though I'm also not trying to excuse myself from the anatomy? I'm honestly just pointing it out so I don't look like a fool. I'm proud of most of everything I did to the piece and after 2 hours of painting this, I saw I made shitty body proportions. So I figured I'd say something to simply let others know "I'm aware of it but also, I stopped caring."
Anyway clarification aside, I'm glad you liked it and I'm grateful for your honest, intelligent opinion.

Don't beat me up please.

I like the use of color vs texture in this. The blue in the bottom right -- my perspective -- of the uniform verses the rustier tones in the left. Very nice. :)

Side note, what is the mark on her right eye signify?

ZaneZansorrow responds:

The mark on the eye is just for random warrior-like design purposes. Thanks for the review :)

Leg!

Seriously, very good. I agree with the others that you will do fine here, especially because it isn't too overt. I like this one a little better than your front page'd cover art -- although, I get the reference.

Where can I get one of those hat things? :O

sadisticirony responds:

Thank you very much! Unfortunately I plan on posting mostly overt stuff here... ;u; bear with me haha.

Hat? You mean the Prinny? Or her ribbon? 8D

I absolutely love these types of perspective pieces on newgrounds. It's a great contrast to the number of flat pop-arty piece (which I love just as much, but variety is the spice of life)

For your piece specifically, I just cant stop looking at the tatoos. And then I get that embarassment because she is staring me down like I am daft for looking at them. Very nice.

One piece of criticism -- D: -- is that I believe the background because of its meshy, washy nature. But the bike kind of looks silly being in that style while still being a foreground element. Maybe if it transitioned, or something.. I don't know. I don't think it needs to be changed any, it looks lovely as it is. I just don't believe it is really there if I focus on it. If I focus on what I am supposed to though -- the girl -- then it fits perfectly. I don't know if that is helpful, but that's what you get.

C0nker3 responds:

thanks! your very right about the bike. haha i struggled with the surface for a while so thats why i ended up just leaving it a little more on the expressive side. But it still stands out xP thanks for the critique! much appreciated.

It's funny because I really wasn't expecting anything/didn't know what to expect, so the punchline came as a nice surprise!

Good Job.

ToonHole responds:

Jukes left, fakes right, spin move toward the goal line and.... ABORTION

Nice caricature of yourself

I have that domo shirt too. I like how even in the simplicity of the idea, you have a decent sense of shadow, prospective, and detail. Very Awesome!

SpamClamberton responds:

We should be shirt-brothers.

Love the monsters

I like the fact that they all have rosey cheeks for being monsters. 10/10

Oelbachtaucher responds:

I like rosey cheeks haha . Thank you :)
