Seru's meme thing - Update 1

Yus, it's spreading. So basically:

(copy/pasted)
===============

Here's the deal. For the first five people that comment, I will tell you four things.
1) What I think you can do to improve on your artwork.
2) Something that I feel you excel in with your artwork, or I possibly envy about it.
3) One of my least favorite of your images, and why.
4) One of my most favorite of your images, and why.

The artwork would be based on art itself, not on the content. In other words, I shouldn't say, "I dislike this piece because it's got yuri in it," or something along those lines.

Also, the images chosen- at least for the "least favorite", should be something fairly recent. Going back to a deviant's first few images, they might have already fixed the problem that make the image unlikeable.

Finally, you gotta put this in your journal as well. Naturally.
===============
(end paste)

Keep in mind that this is pure opinion/advice, not fact/dictation.

Hoo-kay, so... yeah, anyone who wants to... =p



Nyalright, here we go:

[link] SeruOmen:

1) I had a whole shpiel about skin colors after going through your gallery, then I look at the very most recent images and you've already fixed it o.x So, onto the second bit: Proportion. It looks like it may be the last thing you have to tighten, and it doesn't need much... but you really do need to work on arms. Hands too, but not as much; it's mostly the arms. Truthfully, it always looks like the forearms are just a teense too long... that and the positioning of the arms altogether just looks a little awkward. You might want to try thinking about angles more; for instance in [link] both forearms look like they're horizontal with respect to the page, creating a sort of flattening effect that wrecks the perceived depth of the hand, and in [link] again, forearm looks like it's flush with the page (not a problem here, but you've gotta be really careful on proportion in these cases).

2) Your ability to draw facial expressions is top-notch. Every character looks natural; it doesn't ever look like they're forcing an emotion. That's a difficult point to get to, from what I've seen; definitely a mark of skill that'll set your stuff apart.

3) [link] is probably my least favorite, mostly because... well, it doesn't all work together too well. Now, no, I'm not sure of the particular character's habits, but looking in from the outside, it looks just a bit... separated. Her hands are way up, but I've never seen someone do that unless they're tense about the game, which, looking at her face and body position, doesn't seem so. The chair... well, you've already acknowledged the chair, still, her pose doesn't seem to align with the chair... at all. The hip/crotch area looks a bit... well, not steamrolled, but more like big-rolling-pinned. There's a few other things, but it's already getting nitpicky =p

4) Favorite's gotta be [link] It's just... honestly, proportion, pose, expression, all near perfect. The teeth, somewhat simply drawn but accurately drawn. The saliva at no point looks unnatural, well, overall, I simply can't see any flaw. Anything drawn more crudely, even, is done so in a way to put more focus on the main subject; something a lot seem to forget about but a very strong technique.

Kyah, such heresy! *Loads the anti-hippie cannon and fires... febreze, so normal humans can get near them without degenerating into the product of their drugged mob* Chaaaaaarge maybeeee!

Ah, but if the secret of life is nachos, then the purpose of life is to consume nachos. It allll works together. *Sings the come together song*

I dub thee... Unlogic.

Also, the secret of life IS Nachos. The purpose of Life, is still unknown!

I say we keep Chuck Norris on Speed Dial. Since he could already have pwned the world, he most definitely can take out a few politicians... and maybe even run for congress.

I still think it's fun to watch conversations veer out of control XD

Ah yes, the big lie theory. It worked for Hitler, it'll work for... oh, right, it didn't. Ah well. So long as the finger over the pwn the world button isn't shaking with caffeine X3

I agree. I say we take over Columbia. No Coffee plantations would dare stand against us!

Most of the Political leaders are health nuts, anyways. I think they actually believe some of the nonsense they support, sometimes XD

The scary part is, it's true... we must make sure nobody in power ever gets anything highly caffeinated o.o

I think I remember seeing a few in other parts of the whole mamabliss thing... a couple in mindlessconsumption.com, I believe. Dunno why there's so many separate domains for it x.x but I've seen a few of 'em

Laziness is the tool of the devil... on the other hand, he's really not such a bad guy once you get to know him *nods*
