Re: Unknown's Blank Page
You could say that, Squid. I'm new to this forum, but I was Adom on the second one, and *A Ramdom Lurker* on the first. The guy who helped you figure out that Kuromaru was backbeard on the second forum, after everyone else left... remember? Hence why I mentioned Beako and Kuromaru and 'the other forum' in my opening post (introduce yourself thread).
I've more stuff to say and do, but it's 6:23AM, parents will probably be up soon and I've uni work to do... although I think I have too little willpower to stop myself from posting here...

Edit: Kay, I'm back, and I'm officially nocturnal. After I went to bed (7:00am) I slept for 12 hours, waking up at 7:00pm. o_o;
As I was saying, I like essay length articles on pieces of art; in fact, I tend to write them, but I focus more on things that make the picture worse, or areas where particularly masterful skill is shown. For instance, the ice crystals and both ribbons are superb, but the positioning of the eyes could be better and the mouth may benefit from being a little less straight. The dress, hair, and flesh areas are all fine - not too high of a HSQ (Holy Shit Quotient
You must be registered to see the links
), but most certainly not
low either. I have to give special mention to the hands; most people tend to fuck them up, but by going with mild abstraction you've managed to do them well. If there's one thing about the hands that could be improved, it's that I find, when I try to strike that pose, that my fingers don't want to go back up; the best I can get without being uncomfortable is for the ends to curl about 90 degrees away from the hand forming a sort of 'c'- gah, just try doing it yourself and you should see what I mean.
As for my characters, well, that was actually a joke - I figured that, as you mentioned, your willingness to draw was a sporadic thing. But if you're willing, I'd certainly like to have you do them =). Unfortunately this gives me a whole 'nother dilemma; most, if not all of my characters have their appearance taken directly from some other character - even my favourite or most powerful ones. I'll try to give you some examples... but in another thread, or this thread will get far too cluttered. (it is worth noting that almost all of my characters were created around the time I was entering school, hence the stupid names and plots.)
Edit: Character list has been added, it's here:
