Artist's Comments

Title pending until I think of something better.

Gah, I don't like this one so much. So many anatomical and clothing fold flaws. *_*

So this is My Koi girl type character, but it's not a furry and I'm not a furfag, I just love fish-inspired clothing. Lol. Name also pending. Probably a one shot character though.

First time In a while I used my markers, It looks like I shit highlighter all over it though. =C Obviously not all of it is marker, some of it it photoshooped in. Hair, skin, textures, etc, etc.

I have like 2788438387 different versions of this, and I couldn't decide which one to upload. One had a water texture over it, one was flipped, different background, etc, but I just settled to use my original plain one.

Lol, dodge desu.

Crit plox.

hey i just saw your comment on shizumi-ryu's journal.. so thought i'd try give a little constructive criticism to help spread the love - and try and save what little integrity is left in deviantart.

really like this piece - the colours are great, and the amount of detail is amazing. i especially love her clothes (and the patterns too).

my main criticism is that the jaw/neck line looks a bit odd - especially if you look at it upside down - and i'd have her left tear-duct a bit lower (her left, not ours..).

but yeah, fantastic work - keep it up!

(i'm not that great myself to be honest, but i hope what i mentioned is of some use)

p.s. love the hair too haha, reminds me a little of art nouveau style

Thank you very much! =D People like you make Deviantart worth going on. You have a wonderful gallery.

Nice to know you like the colors, I thought they seemed too highlightery.

I'll try to see what I can fix with her neck and jawline. I wasn't so sure how to connect it, since her body is like, sort of flowing upwards behind her? I don't even know. Lol.

Since that area is so cluttered it might be harder to fix, but I can definitely fix the eye. =O

It is of use, thanks once again!

i have the same problems with the neck/jaw line on a lot of the things i do - i really struggle with drawing people and it's really hard to get the anatomy perfect.. i work at a dressing table though, so whenever i'm stuck on a face part i kinda just look at the contours of my jaw and stuff in the mirror. It's quite a complex pose she has though, so it could be troublesome doing that..

did you do this picture from scratch or use any reference pics? I don't think i could have ever thought up a pose like that from memory.

oh i was thinking though.. are you using photoshop to edit it? i'd try and move her head back a bit if you can, it should flow into her neck at the back a bit smoother then, and also you could probably identify her jaw bone easier.

Yeah, I always have tendency of making my people look like linebackers when I draw shoulders, either that the arms are sloping down all weird like a hunchback. =O My room is a terrible art environment. Nothing is at all concentrated in one area for ease, but I have a mirror I often use for drawings legs from the side and such. =O

I created the pose from scratch, but next time I probably should find reference so the anatomy is better.

I could try doing that, but it might be difficult with all the layers. I mainly use photoshop for textures and to do skin tones because I don't really have a very efficient way of coloring skin with markers,

Crap, I sent the comment before I was done. Lol.

like I was saying, I

'skin with markers, and sometimes I use it for hair too, because I'm too afraid of messing up'

Not too much extra, but, lol, idk. XD

ooh the pose was from scratch? awesome.. you should be proud :)

and yeah, you know what they say - practice makes perfect. and you're only fifteen.. geez.. your stuff is going to kick ass in a few years.

Haha, actually, I'll be 16 in two weeks, but thank you anyway. XD
