Dude I don't even remember what I was going to say about it. :l
But yeah uh... Let's seeeee..
Something about all your characters' noses bothers me. I keep thinking it's too big, but then I've seen big-nosed art before, and it wasn't all that terrible. I'm not sure.
Another thing is your proportions but on this particular picture, you can't tell because she's a mermaid. So it looks pretty good. I like her tail, in particular, especially the scales since they took you forever to get them right, heh. I still don't know what was wrong with them every single time you erased it.
I like her hair. How it goes swish and all that. Kinda odd at the top but I guess that's just how her hair is. Her right hand (I think it's on the right, anyway) kind of bothers me... looks a little fat? I'm not sure.
I like the necklaces and the bracelets too; not sure what's going on though; I'd assume she's in water, but those bracelets & necklaces are just going crazy. That, or she bound them on her wrists/neck (?) very tightly in a particular fashion, but whatever. xD

Also, "I hate your pencils". xD xD

Thanks for the comments, Flora. :3
Dunno what's going on with the noses or proportions. They look okay to me...(vast improvement over how I used to draw them, anyway). I'll take another look at some of my reference images to see what's wrong.
The bracelets and necklaces were totally BSed because I can't draw shells, so I have no excuse for how they look. XD

Here's another update. Akaku, who's technically still in reserve for Azuri but I'm pretty sure I'll add him sometime now. The shading on his skin isn't as dark as I usually make it 'cause I was trying to make him look pale, but I dunno if there's enough contrast. :/
Also, seals are hard to draw.
That is all.

Flora, I already know you think his crotch is too far up, but I've yet to figure out how to draw male proportions properly. Blame RO official art with their super tight pants.

His crotch is too hig-- right.
Um... I like this one, kinda, mostly cause there's a HUGE FAT SEAL on it. <3
Yaknow, I'm too lazy to comment on this one, cause you stole the words right out of my mouth. Not appreciated. Dx

Another update.
Flora would recognize this one.
Not much to say about it, since all the description you need is up there with the artist comments.

Yay for Ant!
I guess this shows the obvious difference between your style of art and mine. x3 Seeing as we (kind of) drew the same subject.

An art request from one of my Mabinogi guild forums: Sakurako of Dango. Apparently I got her personality completely wrong, but I've only been in Dango for about a month, and I haven't gotten a chance to talk to her at all. :/

Double post for updates FTW (or FTL, however you look at it).

A drawing of my Mabinogi characters as a...memoir, I guess, of a certain in-game event (freaking owls).
A handmade birthday card I gave one of my friends.
What happens when Flora and I get bored at a party and happen to have pencil and paper.

That'd be all.

Eclectric, I haven't been in much of a drawing mood lately, so I still haven't started on your request. I will soon, though.

I...finally got off my lazy chair two days ago and finished my Bleach AMV I'd been working on for a few years.
So here it be.
I am not an expert at working with WMM, this is my first attempt at even manipulating video in any way, and I know it's not a completely original idea (just check out the related videos; 12 others using the same anime and same song). There are also some sections at the beginning and near the end that I'm not completely satisfied with, but couldn't decide how to fix. All in all, though, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

This may not be strictly art, but I did make it. o3o

Wow. A quadruple post. I think it's a record.

A requested drawing of Flora's Mabinogi character, plus her friend's

I also uploaded 8 drawings that really count more as doodles than anything else. Since that means they're not particularly impressive, I'm not linking to them. They're all in my gallery though.

That's a really cute drawing (and a little disturbing, hehehe).

o3o

L from Death Note, drawn as a friend's birthday present.
Drawing of two of my RORP characters, also as a birthday present. Assassin Cross on the left, Ninja on the right. The pose was more or less requested; they wouldn't actually do this.

...
* shifty eyes*
So after, what, five years, I went back to attempting to edit Pokemon sprites.
...It was a lot harder than I imagined.

My first ever Roleplay character, Louanne Elanor Diaz. o3o

Silver, if you're still checking my thread, and if you have the time, I'd like some pointers, please. Because I know there's a lot of things wrong with this, even if it does look better than the last batch of sprites I uploaded here.

I love the new sprite of Louanne! I especially like how you put the words, "This image or video has been moved or deleted." :P

Ahem. Okay, so I saw the actual sprite, and even though I already commented on it, it wouldn't hurt to comment again. She looks a bit too skinny above the waist. Other than that, I...have nothing else to say, since I don't sprite at all. I personally think you did a good job after 5 years of NOT spriting, though.

Whoops...
I'd forgotten that I'd deleted the original version off of Photobucket once I'd uploaded the version with a transparent background... 8D'
It should be up again now. :3
And thanks for the comment. ^^
