my english sucks sorry >.< , resubmitted!
This is a critique to your gallery in general:

Your lineart skills are getting better especially with the help of the to-love-ru anatomy bible (lmao), the way you draw hands and bodies recently are indeed really better than before. The shading technique you use here looks simple, yet pleasing to the eyes. I really like your character arts right now, and I think the majority likes it as well (especially a Sora fanart! Man you just made my day! xD ). It seems you're a natural when it comes at composition, whenever I look at your thumbnails it catches my attention.

Now as for my complaints (as always xD), I hate to admit I "did" hate your art before because all I know you just picked the colors from another CG/VN artwork or so~ not really gonna troll you or anything but I can't really help but notice the similarities as a fellow enthusiast of Leaf and many other VN making companies xD.

I'm just only concerned with that kind of learning because even if you do magnificent results from it, where's the originality here? Heck even the facial structure, shading method is even similar.

I do admit that if you're fired up by admiration you can't help but try being as awesome as them ( and I hate to admit that practically, by going mainstream VN style it will give you lots of money as well xD )

I think I got a typo: So even if hipsters like me go against your ways, I'd just say instead of copying Leaf's art style, try surpassing it instead! As of now you're 2-3 steps behind to being awesome as Leaf's~ I can help by pointing out 2 things here :
1. You're rushing - why not give quality time to it? Like instead of your usual 3~7 hours, the moment you decide it's finished, allot 2~6 hours more for improvement!
2. Your backgrounds and use of gradients - right now since your character art is good, I suggest focus on improving your background techniques such as better brush set, textures (that ain't over realistic), and if possible, avoid the gradient look. You do know how visual novel backgrounds look like right? So try doing research on how they did it right~ I'm sure they have methods to do it fast and at great quality.

Anyway good luck, you're improving and my apologies for the Originality rating but it's not really important especially the choice you've made right? I'd probably change my opinion though if your art surpassed Leaf's style in both character art and background. xD So yeah just take your time, learn more about bg techniques, and be better than Leaf's style.

vision - good thumbnail and character art.
originality - I think scoring 1 is too much for my complaint, this is beautifully done after all.
technique - with simple elements you manage to make the whole artwork work/look good.
impact - now when we look at a closer view, bg is the problem - remove the character, then observe: the gradient on the bg is off putting, clouds looks painterly therefore doesn't harmonize with the rest elements. windmills look okay though. The grass looks cheap, (but then again I repeat, the fact that you manage to have the illustration carry simple elements well is outstanding).

I hope this helps, godspeed!e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

This piece is very amazingly done and breathes of fresh air.

First of all, I'd like to compliment how the background was done. It is without flaw and expresses a great perfection, from the grass to the sky. Great job.

The character is pretty normal-looking and I believe it is just that fact that makes her blend so well with the environment. She seems to be blank in her personality, but at the same time so free and detached from anything else that tries to reach her. Well done on that part.

I am looking forward to a next commission from you when I can e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>

Good work !!

I agree with the review by Helrouis, except for the part about coloring. I do feel that picking colors from an artist you admire actually helps your improvement in finding that style. Otherwise your art will just end up random and all over the place like mine without any consistency.

By the way, what's the "to-love-ru" anatomy bible? Considering I'm a huge to-love-ru fan myself.
