Artist's Comments: This is an original art...

-- feedback from the forces --


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
