Description So... Coming up with idea for this picture took longer than anticipated = v ="

It's actually for celebrating 200th page of TINGE: The Commoner comic as well as my own birthday... But it's been weeks since those events... haha...

Here is Mikaela~ with 3 cupcakes for you to choose


Anyhow, I hope you like it~ (constructive feedback and critique are always welcome)

Nom those look like some fancy cupcakes! Wonder what they taste like  


This is such a cute piece. Very adorable character and lovely muffins too. I adore your watercolor like shading with the crispy edge and visible brush strokes - it brings a nice touch to the otherwise simple image and also works nicely together with your line art. Mikaela blends in a little too much on the red muffin (due to her having red hair as well), so might wanna add some shadow behind her on the side of the muffin to make her pop out better. Her pose, anatomy and colors look great though.


The image composition has something odd though. The central composition looks okay and you have set the items evenly on the canvas. Usually viewing things from below emphasizes something being very large or something very small - which works here as well. You really feel the size of those muffins. However there’s quite a lot of empty space on the foreground that seems to serve no purpose. This might also be because you have quite a little space above as well. I would suggest adding more space on top or perhaps adding some details (perhaps footprints) on the snow to better balance the picture. Also a general hint - usually vertical panels or canvases (instead of horizontal ones) are used when one wants to emphasize size or height.  


Hopefully you find this helpful.

Many thanks for the critique

I kinda forgot to think about making the character pop there... haha = v ="

Hmm... I see... So portrait format is better for conveying height in the picture... Composition is something that I don't really have a grasp of >_< (To be honest... The only thing I know is rule of third... haha)

Yes usually the shape of the frame helps to tell a story as well and emphasize whatever is in it...
Portrait often looks more spacious, tall and energetic, while horizontal canvas is more narrow, calm and focused.
Naturally these rules are twisted all the time and your pic is already quite well composed, only a little tweak to add more space could really make it perfect!
(hah rule of thirds is a great one to go with! XD)

Which flavors do they have? Is the green cupcake with nut? But, I'm not picky though. Look all yummy haha

So cute~ the perspective is nicely done too, though I do wonder how long it would take to finish those giant cupcakes haha. Kinda want to try eating them anyway~ P:

moonmute In reply to Noctince [2019-07-02 16:33:11 +0000 UTC]

Hehe~ Glad you find this cute   Just a little play on perspective to spice things up = v =

Hmm... It would take months to eat all these 3 giant cupcakes >_< (got to watch out for sugar intake... haha)

When I done with my affairs, I will begin to translate the second part of the comic.

The first book ended on page 147. I think it was a logical ending to the first chapter.

Yep~ That page does seem like a good stopping point for the chapter = v =

This is so adorable >w< I enjoy the perspective in it, and the limited palette :3 My only little critique; perhaps darken or desaturate the colours in the background a little bit, so the character in the foreground stands out a bit more ... but really, that's nothing more than a nitpick <3 Keep it up <333

moonmute In reply to SpicecreamSundae [2019-07-02 08:04:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you~ Glad you find this adorable

Hmm... I see I see... That would certainly helps differentiating character from the background... Will be more mindful of that in the future
