Description LOL my baby in high def ^^// The original-sized version of the image on my Lox application (which is somehow blurry in devart <__< Why?? OTL)

But here you are ; w ; He's one of my fav character designs <33 (and definitely the one that took the longest OTL) It's too bad I didn't have the time to do all his extra refs (like his tattoos and burn-mark), but I think it's good for now = w =

Took a reaaally long time to finish XD;

Turned on critiques...*shy* but I'm still curious what people think about the design ; w ; (ignore the fact there's no real bg pleaaase)

Don’t feel writing a critique as it makes me feel not really good. moreover I hate those stars really bad ;___;.
Also, my language is total crap so I’d feel 1000 times worse because of it.

Anyway…if you are interested in some sort of notices in crappy language I’m providing some.
I really hope no offences will be taken ;A;

Watching your art for some time I understood some things.
You draw characters till torso/ headshots more often than fullbodies. I can feel it from your full-body drawings – the line from head till hips and from hips till feet is different length.

all causes in that those two parts of body do not stick together, for some reason. proportions of figure are probably taken - 8 heads in body ? if you count ofcourse...

As I understand this reference was made without any sharp perspectives. I counted all again and again - all is actually right but still looks weird. I don't get it. I am telling this as I always burn on it myself so usually use 7.5 heads in body.
...but seems like Hex needs longer legs... just visually asks for it... ;_;
on my opinion making longer legs for this awesome chara would make him look even more awesome and what is more important – stable in picture. Now he looks misbalanced as legs are pretty much broken in area of knees heels and feet-fingers.
maybe...-
Bigger head would make more space for his beautiful face and it probably would not look so stretched. The angle of chin-bone and neck appears to be abit too sharp. again.. it's only my opinion...
and last thing-
Hex has a really nice shirt that fits him really well…but… as well as one shoulder is raised up and has extra weight (gun) the material of shirt as well as muscles of chest should move up with stretched hand. This would make figures more realistic-looking.
...keeping my mouth shut on colouring as I know we use different programs for that.

I so really hope so it will be taken not as "mixing up with dirt" but least abit usefull... I just put here some of my observations...
as I am selftaught I can't take my words strong... but on my opinion picture might look better if some parts would be modificated slightly....

anyway... this gangsta won all my loves as only I saw his many manly arms <3 ngh~ luv his biiig gun and his arms...

ok *deep breath* here it goes... *keeps breath* pushing tha button! ;A;

yeah^^... zorua goes bored last few months and even extreme changes do not help

I remember spent hours thinking of short comic story some time ago...
I did about 5-6 finished pages of it but don't think I manage to ever submit it... got cock-block with covers and ending as raping your chara without you felt wrong so I woke up my shame when finally understood how roleplay works ;A;... and what was I thinking?! >.< if you'd like I might send you some pages to show what I did; maybe you'd like to change something, add something yourself or we could make a roleplay to see how story ends, even make a collab if you'd like?

Ahaha I'll admit....I haven't been in Pokimono for a very long time XDD I'll be honest - it started to bore me and I didn't really know anyone there so it wasn't fun anymore? But yesssss I would love to see the pages * A * Because your art is so amaaazing.

Ohooo I would be open to any of those options ^^ Or all 3 LOL I'd like to rp with you o w o but I'd also like to collab with you too~ I think it would be fun = w =//// ((I think I might have sent you a note way back whens too...but I'm not sure if I got a response lol))

no worries of that :3 Shinta is not too live too... ;W;
later I got tones of problems with DA notes, long story but all now is fixed so I'll try to sent you a note with some pages^^. I think it's about abit less then half of a year passed since I made those but still would like to hear your opinion ^^

LOL! Don't worry my dear!! Ahahah I'm never angry about critiques XDD I like them, especially when told sincerely. It's often a lot harder to realize mistakes you make yourself than to have other people point them out to you. So please, never feel hesitant to give them β™₯ They are an artist's greatest boon.

Aaah, I had never really noticed it, but yes. I do believe you're right XD I take a general 8-9 head proportions ish, but I'll be honest and say I never really thought too hard about what that implied P: I just looked at the overall sizing and not the specific proportions and relationships between them. I go with what "feels right" intuitively, which of course doesn't really translate (especially through digital, because it's already not second nature for me XD). Hmmm but yes, he does rather need some longer legs doesn't he?? I might redo the line sketch, if you don't mind terribly taking a second look ; w ; (I would appreciate it and shower you with love!) and see if I might be able to work around some of the cg. Aaah I'm wondering why I never noticed it before, actually XDDD And it does rather make all my artwork look amateur-ish, doesn't it? Well, hindsight 20/20 and all that. ((Ahaha I got lazy, because, like you said, I do a ton of torso/headshots))

As for the head...yeah yeah, I'm terrible at telling face angles ahahahahaa I've had problems with that forever since when I started anime as a teeny bopper XD I have troubles....see what the problem is until maybe a few years later, which of course doesn't help things at all OTL but I will try my best ; w ; hopefully with the help of some of my artfellows. As I'm still having a bit of difficulty seeing what's wrong *sighs*

I made a tentative attempt to reflect the position, but aah clearly not an obvious enough one. Duly noted, my dear.

I....would still like to hear your opinion on the colouring ; w ; I usually never know where to start. I haven't done a tonne of serious colouring digitally (or anywhere else) and I've really just gotten used to laying a bunch of colours down slipshod P: This isn't my best colouring, nor does it really look at things like colour balance, lighting, backlighting, and such, but I would still appreciate it, so when I do do a serious piece, I can make it better β™₯

Meep~ again, thankees for your sincere opinions!! *hugs shyly* Q u Q

well.. adding abit longer legs makes chara look tal n' sexeh, I think ^^' so I usually ran for 7.5 head proprtion or add character heels XD...

stopped trusting my intuition as took out from a dusty basement my old old drawinds where torso was 2 times shorter then legs :C. and I remember those times well, I was 11 and picture looked soo perfect back then ;w;.. now I try always check the proportion and take measuring but still burn on it sometimes ;A; anyway... this needs some time to go along with (I hope time n' practice deals the problem ;A; ). Anyway, I'd love to see how Hex changes if you are making some edits ^^ I think he is really well designed (those guns and curves and gangsta style makes me want to draw something same nice *,*/ *reaches to touch in drool* )

as for colouring - I don't really think I should say something.. as from my own experience I never color on white or masked (dusty or etc. ) background, (unless it is a speedie-sketch) - It helps to keep color under the lines and not run out of line-edges.
Overall, it really depends on the style of colouring. I use one layer for that and then overpaint lineart.
it all depends on the way of working... my way takes abit too long to lick out all the mistakes of crappy lines I do, so...
it is really up to you how to make colouring pleasant to eye ^^y.
wish you good luck and am in awaits of your creations <3

That gun, gosh its lovely. And his design is certainly one to match, a nice twist on the LoX criteria of a suit. Simple but effective certainly matches his personality. I like the hairstyle, well nice and of course the colour scheme is well chosen.

You have such a nack for character designs and your colouring skills are just plain sexy

*rubs all over* Hnnngh. =u= <333

Honestly, setting aside all the anatomy/shadows/highlights/etc. or whatever. I have no problem what so ever about this character. He's not boring but not crowded with designs to the point where it's too complicated to draw over and over.

Also, Kudos to you for actually Drawing out a certain type of Shoes instead of making him wear a "Shoe-like shapes" on his feet. lol

You've got such talent to design such amazing looking character. Hngh. <333 I love it.

SDJfl LOLOL!! C-C-CHURA! Pffft.

Keee thank you ; w ; Yeaaah, I wanted something that wasnt too too difficult to redraw a few times, especially in an rp group, so I'm happy you noticed >//w//< Ehe and maaan I was tempted to draw shoe-like shapes! It's too bad that they looked so out of place after I coloured the rest of hiiiim *shot* I mean, I totally planned it. Oh yeah. XD

B-bawww thankees Chura-bby ; w ; β™₯β™₯

XD <3333

It's no problem~ and lol I've seen so many shoe-like shapes before, and I've done it myself too. orz It gets really annoying after a while, but I guess that's just my lil' peeve or something lol.

Hngh... I wanna be part of the cool people, so bad.... all these lovely (and so sexy) characters. fff-
