"Haha.. well now... i see alot of improvements in this one... your making me run out of things to critisize you upon! XD at first sight i see nothing wrong with this picture, everything looks pretty good. However, upon closer inspection,

These are the things i pointed out:
1. The creases in the folding can be done much better on both sides ,as it is its also uneven, which makes the left side look odd coz its jiggly, and the right all... hmmm weirdly creased. Work on the way you draw creases on the clothing.
2. Not sure if other people see it like i do, but the neck looks abit on the long side, usually the chin would be able to touch the collar of the shirt in my opinion...
3. The tie is probably the only one in this in which you didn't put in any creases into... basically, even if you tried it yourself, if you folded your arms towards you body while wearing a tie, creases tend to be visible on the main part, and also the neck bit. The knot also looks like it could use abit more volume.
4. The shirt pocket... just looks odd atm, work on that abit more... perhaps a nice shadowing around the clothing would be good as well.

Apart from that, you've had a major improvement in terms of doing the face, and i congratulate you for that. An awesome 2nd attempt, keep it up! ooh... and another thing.. make his wrist bend out abit more, his forearm looks abit short on his right hand. Right hand as in if you were the person kind of right hand... left if you were seeing him ^^ Whats that red thing on the end of his shirt btw O_o I recognize him as one of the captains of bleach.. ^^

Guns

"Jeez ryuu... your getting quite heated aren't ya... =P well, yeah... even if you did stop the kids from getting a gun, i can think of many american families that have a firearm of some sort in their home, be it a single action, or double action, revolver or semi auto.. some even have full fledged rifles i believe O_O

Point is, one way or another they'll get their hands on a gun.. i even know that some people steal gun from government armory's somehow O_O I don't quite see how a berreta usa would affect the amount of guns available in the states, a gun is a gun, regardless of the make... if you're gonna compare it to the sig its probably coz of its magazine capicity and caliber?

second drawing!!

3 years 4 months ago

"I think first critique was not being very fair in terms of judging... i mean, obviously you did it with a black ball pen, and i'm thinking when you were bored in class or something related to boredom...

I would have to agree though that shading would've been nicer with a proper artpen. Aren't paladins like battlemages as well? they'r just something like battlefield medics... with protection and healing power and all..

well, i find the left hand bigger than the right, but that might be coz of different armor there, since your going with the half demon half human instead of like a mixed kinda effect... for a paladin, i found the staff out of place, and also the face could use some defining. The half-demon bit is good, but i've got complains about the human bit not looking evil enough =P

Also, is the large black thing a shadow or some kind of robe or cape? O_O"

Real Time 3D Character - Kuroi

"He already mentioned it... he uses Softimage XSI... judging by the number of vertices, its actually quite a low poly model O_o. Yeah, the top ones are Softimage XSI, Maya, and 3d Studio Max, although Max is more for games only... =P

Sorry m8, i'm dealing with graphics as well, so i'm not easily impressed ^^ but i must say you uv mapped and textured it quite nicely. Ever tried increasing the polycount to 10,000+? =P

For those wondering, yes, doing these 3d things is hard if you don't understand a thing about them (took me 7 years to learn without manuals coz i couldn't afford any =_=, started at 12 years of age when the 1st Half-Life came out). However, if your really determined to learn and u've got interest in it, u'll find it relatively easy to do with the right programs ^^"

Art-fart part 2!

"WOW.. i'm a very strong critique when it comes to art, but when i see this, i can't really pinpoint anything wrong with them... they have a very strong alignment with the American style of drawing, and then throw in anime characters, which turn out to be quite interesting... in that sense temari looked abit different.. =P

But all in all, taken into consideration a diffferent drawing style, you have very good skills. I usually get proportionality wrong, but you seem to be very finnese in it ^^

Paint Shop Pro? O_o i didn't really like paintshop pro =P it felt too basic for me... i use adobe photoshop CS2"

My first vector

"Hope you like strong critiques, coz i'm one of them ^^

Well, i'll start by saying the face proportions are already slightly wrong. You've made the chin way too sharp.. and it carries itself too far up the face... the proportion of chin to the rest of the face is wrong. Perhaps nose could even be more defining as a nose. The putting on the hair above is also too deep, try to shallow it out more.

Apart from that, your body is fine, you drew the hair in pretty well... oh and yeah.. another thing... perhaps make the neck thinner? and also more defining strokes in your vector ^^

Hope that didn't put you off. Good Luck!"

"THAT IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT YOU STARTED WITH! I'm starting to like this enough to make it wallpaper! XD (as soon as i feel that my funky robot armored core wallpaper is boring for the day :3)

hmm i used to be a more tougher critique... =P well lets take a look at the posted link... Well, i'm sure your gonna clean up the flowers and legs drawings overlapping, i was thinking of a nice contrasting image... where the world is dark compared to the Kitsune. A Pure contrast between black and white perhaps? The legs, head and total proportions are now much nicer ^^ perhaps something missing now would be the rear landscape... as well as the clouds... they need more volume... which in most cases can be done my the colouring itself.

Have a nice contrasting glow on the moon too, to make it perhaps a very glowy white... if you can see where i'm getting at then you can see what i see in this picture ^^ good work btw, sorry i didn't reply earlier =P"

"Heh... i agree with Dekciw there... you got plenty of time dude... just coz your 22 and you don't have a gf it isn't a big problem... ^^ i'm gonna b 19 and i'm still single... not that i don't want to be with a gf, but the girls which confessed to me simply weren't the person i liked... i believe its something deeper than that, having a GF.

On that note, thats why i think that online relationships rarely work out... it feels better to have known actually how the person looks then have something start in my opinion... don't rush it, find someone special that you truly cherish then make your decisions.. ^^

And i shall reiterate what many have just said. (including myself in my 1st post) DON'T BE SO SHY! GIRLS DON'T LIKE SHY GUYS! ^^"

"Hello there! i think that that the bottom 2 are fine... i've got a few comments i'd like to make on the first though...
1. Might be me, but i feel that the neck doesn't connect properly with the head, with it being... mmm whats the word... abit off to where it should be O_o
2. The hips seem abit small O_o
3. umm her pinky on the hand holding the staff >_>
4. Yea... the staff itself has screwy dimensions O_o

Then again most of it can't be told coz the head looks big, but since its no coloured in i don't know whether thats actually ALOT of hair or something else O_o that also gives off an ill judgement i think... so i say again, i might be wrong ^^"

Arei

Guys DONT like me because i'm an otaku (and no im not a fat crazy otaku xD). All the they want are sluts that will get in bed with them... which I dont work that way =P Yeah one guy completely stopped looking at me after he got the message he wasnt getting any from me.

Shizzle now thats putting it in O_o If i had a hundred bucks for everytime i've seen a thread like this created on ap (why settle for a dollar? XD)

Ahem.. as for your case, chill out man, take your time and discover the person you really want to be with... i personally don't believe in online relationships though i've had a few, and yes, my personality is something like urs, well, used to be. One thing you tend to realise is that becoming shy gets you nowhere... as stated above, girls usually look for guys the can depend on whether it me physical or emotional comfort. In that sense, being shy is really not something they look forward to.

Move on, and carry on your life without regretting anything. If she left you like that, so be it, there are tons of girls out there, and who needs them to be otakus? its basically an act of getting them to like what you like, and i've done that many times. Worked ^^ just be sure to pull out a good anime for their first one judging by what you presume they like haha...

And to Arei, i don't believe all guys are after sex =P i for one am in no hurry for it >_> neither do i view my girlfriend as a slut who is always there for me whenever i need it O_o Chill pill! there are guys out there who don't have the word sex stamped all over their brain!

I think that guns are like Kagura. They're neither bad or good. They're somewhere in the middle. They betrey both sides at any time.

SPOILER (click to view)

But they did not die by Narraku's hand

They help people save people from people who use them to kill other people. It works both ways. Doing the same thing for both sides.
I hope that made sense to you guys :$

Hehe... Inuyasha example :3 didn't like the series though... 167 eps and 4 movies and you still can't get rid of a demon! ::punches inuyasha:: idiot!

Guns

"Ryuu, i am not gonna say i'm against you here, nor am i with u. As said already, guns are mere tools. Killing tools. Saying that you'll only give the military permission to guns are also wrong. If you want to outlaw it, get rid of it completely. If you don't live with it. To all those who think that guns are bad, well i think your perspective is wrong. Guns can be used to protect, and so can shields. In a different manner thats all. Guns protect in a provocative manner where as with a shield your taking cover. Both protect.

hws21c, i find your reasoning very very very very very... and i can't stress this enough, Childish. I mean, even taking a piss at people's content on their page to prove yourself right? and you can't even spell right most of the time for that matter. Seriously, the stuff you write is downright offensive. You're not even giving a humble opinion anymore. You're F**kin taking a piss at ryuu. Same goes to PetitBoomerang =_=

Yes, this topic has been started over and over and over again, and yes, there is no definite answer. Indeed mentioned, if you take a gun away from society, the robbers would know that they are unarmed and attack them because well what do you know... they know that they're defenceless. But, if gun laws stayed, then everyone would have a gun and it'd be a free for all. Also with gun banning, i'm sure alot of you have read these, and that yes, black market business would soar.

Stopping gun manufacturers is not easy. In case some of you didn't know, this world is run by politicians and money. They're not gonna stop for you. End of story. Policians back them blah blah... there's too much to discuss.

I myself am a gun freak, though i do not see it as what most of you might. Perhaps more of what ryuu views it as. I don't think of it as a destructive weapon though. I am also intrigued by the mere design of it and the specifications and stuff. I've fired a few firearms, and once you hold it, you can actually feel the amount of power you're holding. This is probably what those who own the firearm feel, and thats why they feel secure. That said however, i would never purchase a firearm, never at all despite how cool i think they are. Perhaps airsoft but thats where i stop.

Also, yes, for those of you keeping firearms at home, firearms are always kept unloaded and safetied. Not even bullets should be kept in the clip, as its not only dangerous for someone to find an unloaded gun together with a loaded clip, but for you people who know guns, the spring will wear own and it will jam XD

Try not to think on a biased approach while posting. I'm not saying its something you have to do, because you have the right to, but not offending other people is also something you have to consider posting here coz i'm sure moderators and admins don't get too happy about extremists."
