Kon Says: Hey..! This is great stuff! Great details... especially in the
hair. Not too much to be picky about. But the hair as detail as they are and all
being the same shade of blue... can be a bit confusing to distinguise at first.
Maybe some variation on a more different shade of blue will help?

Dragonfly Says: Hoi Himeko~ Well what can I say about this piece, other then
it looks awesome! Wow there really isn't a lot I can comment on this piece, since
everything seems to be very good, and works well with your style.
I guess my only critique, would be the similarity in the faces, unless they are of
the same person? Anyway the piece looks pretty cool, keep it up!

Meriko Says: Oro? There's no specific crit-requests. ^^;;; I guess I'll just
give you a nice, generic critique. First of all, CUTE! Can we say detail? ^^ My
fingers are spasming at the sight of all that hair. They all blend together,
though. Maybe darkening the three up-front girls' hair a bit...not really changing
the color or anything...just defining them more so their hair doesn't just melt
into the background. The face are very anime-cute, but they'd be even more
appealing if you had a more 3D awareness in them. Like the girl's face in the upper
right corner. If you just look at her eyes, it's almost like she's facing directly
at me, although it's evident from her face outline and ear that she's looking off
to my left. Tracing curved lines over the face (split the head into quarters) helps
to line up the eyes and give you a sense of how features should line up. You can
practice on a circle...just draw a circle, and then use two lines to split it into
quarters...but on the imaginary curve of a sphere, not just a t-shape. (am I making
sense?) Maybe this isn't a correct suggestion for anime-style, but I like adding
more definition to arms and legs as well. Even if you're standing straight up,
there are curves and such defining knees and calves and muscles. ^^ All in all,
lovely picture. ^^b
