Aside from Zuko's eyes being too far apart (which I think was mentioned), his hair is a bit too short. It's more season2-finale length here, as opposed to midway through season 3.

Yeah, I noticed. Phooey, ya know. But I can't stare at his face in the screenshots for long without cracking up. I'm so bad...XD

You'd think that, if he were going to cover his face to disguise himself or something, he would have covered the *top* half instead of the bottom.
But I guess that wasn't ninja-looking enough.
Silly Zuko.

People who were being anal and staring at every screenshot of the finale trailer thought that maybe he's hoping his hair covers his scar?



It's Zuko, what can you do?

This is pretty badass overall, though Katara's pose + expression kind of gives me a feel of apprehension rather than "I'm gonna pimp smack yo' ass."

Maybe if she was leaning slightly forward or had her shoulders squared in an even fighting stance? Meh, I dunno--I still really like this anyway.

I agree on the lines--but you said you were already going back to that. Depending what program you use, did you try selecting the part you want darkened, feathering out the selection (very slightly!!) and using that to tweak the lines? Erm, not sure on program, how you inked, etc...so um, yeah. I'll stop myself there.

I assumed that what's already thick would get thicker, but maybe it was too subtle? I prefer going over it by hand anyways, because I'm cool like that, XD

I use PS CS3, btw.

And as for critique, you are still ace at lineart. Only gripe I might have is that there's not much line differentiation--they're almost all the same width, no implied line or tapering lines. Otherwise, awesome. xD

Shirozora In reply to vintageaerith [2008-05-01 20:16:17 +0000 UTC]

Dammit, I thought I succeeded at thickening the lines on Katara's left hand. Maybe it all evened out when I Ctrl+clicked and tried to darken the lineart.

Whatever, I have to go back and fix shit anyways, XD

Lol Gangsta Katara/Zuko.

Anywho, the angle of Katara's eyes need to point down a bit more, cuz' it looks like she's staring straight ahead instead of at you.

Zuko's face looks a bit distorted, even though he's tilting his head... It looks like the eyes are tryin' to stay level at the same time, follow the head's angle.

Shirozora In reply to YohkoNaruto [2008-05-01 20:15:07 +0000 UTC]

Well, yeah, I have some issues with Zuko. He was an ass to draw, and their little masks aren't helping me make them look more...normal.

Hmm...perhaps it's alright to exaggerate Katara's eyes, then. Sometimes I worry about exaggerating, because then something uncool would happe and I'd shriek like I did this one time I drew Frodo from the movie. D:

Oh the trauma...

After watching the show and everything, I'm so giggling over this picture. But to be professional and honest, I think Katara's hair would be showing in the space between her left arm and body. Her hair goes down almost completely past her butt when it's not in its braid.

milkstache [2008-05-01 09:20:11 +0000 UTC]

LOL I love Katara's pose! So gangster - no mess with her! Ahah, and Zuko's standing there, arms crossed, looking all tough.
Woooo, really nice lines! I can't really find anything to critique..
I think my favorite part is Katara's hands, especially the one up front. It's a really good angle and well drawn!

JonShot [2008-05-01 09:05:02 +0000 UTC]

WOW somebody asks for critique. Well I will do my best.
Well girl looks fine but guy has few thinks in my opinion. I think his right (from my point of view) is to away from nose campared to the other. And I had a litlle problem with his arms. I couldn't find what is which arm ot lines of clothing but I think coloring will make it all right.
Well that is about it I can't find anything else cause it is really good drawing. Keep the good work

JonShot In reply to Shirozora [2008-05-01 14:00:12 +0000 UTC]

Well it is kind of nice finding out that someone on Dev wants some critique. Many people here just want comments like : "Cool" or "I love it" and "amazing". And if someone has some critique he is beaten to death be fans......
I am glad you are different. By the way the words in you journal are true. Just go trough that class and let it behind you.

Shirozora In reply to JonShot [2008-05-01 23:41:01 +0000 UTC]

Well it's about time I start asking around for critiques, ya know.

And I agree; some people just can't accept that their artwork isn't as perfect as they thought it was.

Okay I will try to give as much good critique I can
