This was a collaboration. I don’t know what’s worse, the awful anatomy done by the person who did the lineart or the colouring done by their friend.

I’m going to blame whoever added the sparkles to every inch of that dress, and made her hair look like a yellow marking recovering from being colored over black.

Last one, I promise.

I spent too long thinking that she was making the XD face with some happy eyebrows. Turns out those are whiskers and her “eyebrows” are just her eyes trying to peel themselves off her face.

NO.

Hey, Link has the Triforce of Courage, not some girl named LinR. You can put the Hot Topic necklace down and go back to writing fanfiction, LinR.

This was a commission priced at 45 points. The artist claims to be 16.

Yeah, 16 is sounding pretty right to me. Ages don’t even matter anymore, the “too old for this shit” tag is almost irrelevant now because apparently, most DeviantART users don’t think there’s such a thing as too old.

So, I heard about this videogame called Sweet Memories: Blackjack and wasn’t really interested, but I decided to look it up to see what it looked like. 

I wouldn’t submit this if it was fanart, but this is a game that you can buy. The arm looks way too short, and I think maybe her shoulders aren’t wide enough? 

Also, a small thing that might not even be true, but I’m pretty sure that with that shading, the light in her eyes would be on the left side, not on the right side of her eyes like it is now?

Again, if this was fanart, I wouldn’t submit it, but someone got paid for this.

I find it a little hilarious that even blackjack has a blushy schoolgirl anime version. They clearly had to put a lot of work in it, since there’s a proper background and even other girls interacting back there. Can ‘t you play with one of them? They have normal arms.

Requesting Public critique!

This is an image of Princess Sally Acorn and Amy Rose I make. I don’t really like Amy, but I enjoy drawing her and as she’s a friend of Sally’s, I’ve decided to draw this with a nonsensival “Never Give Up” message for the heck of it.

I’ve done this with Macromedia Flash 8 professional. If you know the program, would you mind giving me tips on how I could make my artwork more effective? (Blur, shading tips, lineart tips..) You don’t HAVE to, though. Thanks!

Oh no, I hate giving critique to an artist better than me!  What can I say?  This looks really good.  Let’s see… If the only light source is the light in the middle, I think the shading on the back of Sally’s hair should be in reverse, since the side facing the light is in shadow, and there are highlights on the back of it when the light is coming from the front.  Maybe also have the highlight between he legs trail off, because right now that line of highlight makes it look like there’s an even distribution of light all along the curve, when it should get darker between her legs, I think.  What are they looking at?  They don’t seem to be looking at each other. They both seem to be looking at the word “give”.  Also, with Amy’s hand, the shadow on her thumb is positioned right, but with the drop shadows behind it, it looks almost like the shadowed bit of her thumb is the first layer of drop shadow at first glance, which makes her thumb look a little weird.  

I’m familiar with Adobe Flash CS3 and up.  I don’t know how that compares to Macromedia Flash 8.  I’ve mostly used it for animations rather than still artwork, so I don’t think anything I know would be news to you, sorry.
