I finally decided to get off my butt and critique the rest of your gallery that I may have missed or simply not been around for. So here goes the first.
This is a difficult picture to critique in that it involves a child, which, at least in anime, are always difficult because the actual physical appearence of the character never seems to have anything to do with the laws of physics, which in turn mean that the vast majority of my complaints are rendered useless.
First, I'll start with the lower half of the body. Her legs, both of them, are clearly too thin to hold her body up, and especially the left leg tapers off far to dramatically into her knee. Her feet appear to be pointing straight down, rather than standing flat towards us.
Secondly, and finally, I have to mention the hands. I know that you always try hard to get the hands right, in fact, if I had to guess, I'd say that it is something that you pride yourself on. Unfortunately, these two clearly slipped through the net. The right hand has what appears to be a pinky that was caught under a sledgehammer, thus breaking it in a million pieces, and the gap between the index finger and the middle finger is wide enough to drive a car through. The left hand appears to be nothing more than two fingers slid into the picture at the last moment.
Other than those, this is a nice picture that I think really captures the cuteness and innocence of childhood. So on the whole, I would say it is pretty good, just that those hands are pretty bad, and could definitely use reworking.
Ah, and one more thing. I really like the background on this one. It's a wonderful mix of color.

Hehehe! Yeah, her feet are weird. I'm pretty sure she's floating or something, and the hands suck. *giggles* Ooo? You're a Brian? I love Brians! *laughs*

Neat neat neat -- IMPECCABLE coloring! Man, even with watercolor pencils, my drawings bleed! Love the contrasting and vibrant colors.
BTW, how do you that tie-dye, fade-y like effect on your background? It highlights your drawing nicely.

TalisX In reply to aethra-caelis [2005-07-12 08:56:32 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! *hugs* I use very little water. Maybe that's why there isn't bleeding? I'm playing with backgrounds a lot lately. ^_^ It's just pastel watercolor pencils. I overlapped them and colored until I had the colors pretty much where I wanted them and then took a damp brush too them. Becareful not to use too much water because not only does the paper warp a lot, but it fades light colors to non-existance. Any places that don't look right after the blending, just go over them again with the pencils (after it drys, so you don't tear your paper)

Wow! Thanks so much for the tip! I now realize that I do commit the crime of using too much water -- not to mention my paper being a little too light for any water media. I really am grateful!

*giggles* I use sketchbook paper so it's waaay light. Lots of water is great on heavy paper, but put holes in mine if I'm not careful.

Really? I've never seen it; only screen caps & yours is the first fanart I've seen! I don't even think I've seen any dvds for it either... Hopefully you'll do more fanart for it!!
