Nothing wrong with freakishly large dominoes in my opinion xp
I suspect editing it won't be that easy and will involve going back to the line art, but I'm not artist so I can't say.

[Emihaumut]

It's not hard to edit. It just requires me actually knowing what it is that I need to do to fix it (which I have a vague idea).

[GrimBen]

A lot of the big edits you two want me to make are related to me trying to follow the biblical plot of A&E like the interrogation scene is related to the scene where A&E get caught. Do you think I can salvage it or should I try to separate it more from A&E?

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but I think I don't have permission to place comments on your edited version of TLSD. I think I'll just start my own once I'm done editing it and invite you two to it.

About that block there....it wasn't necessarily a domino but a pile of them. I guess I could have drawn the pile a little more detailed.

[enchantedsleeper]

I suspected that might be the case. Don't worry, I think it should be relatively easy to fix.

@Ben: Re: TLSD stuff, I think it will be easier to give you editing permission rather than create yet another document. As for how far you follow the Adam and Eve story, at the moment I think you've got it about right, as long as you remember not to add in any obvious Biblical language or blatant symbolism like the snake and apple. Try not to keep referring back to Genesis all the time, but let your story grow out of the starting-point that 'Adam and Eve' has given you. With the interrogation scene, just write it like a normal interrogation and don't keep thinking that the policeman is God and Malinski is Adam, etc. I didn't even make that connection between the scene where God confronts Adam and Eve, and I don't think it needs to be made. It's normal enough that Malinski would be questioned by the police after he was caught with LSD on his person; the scene can stand on its own just fine without needing a Genesis equivalent to prop it up.

I edited the permissions now so that anyone can edit. Sorry I forgot to do that earlier.

Oh hey, Estela! I have a question for you :3 How are you at drawing small children (age 6)?

[Estela]

Well I really don't draw children much besides chibis and a few drawings I have done. Here is a recent drawing I did for my coloring and activity book. The drawing is of a boy in a panda suit. This version I changed the color to brown to make him look like a bear since my printer was printing the black so dark.

Boy in park

I draw chibis good so if I just don't make the head too big its about the same as drawing a child.

Let me know what you think. The picture is suppose to be my son and he is six.

[Estela]

You guys still need a toner? Let me see if I can get the courage to apply in the next few days.

[enchantedsleeper]

I don't know if drawing children necessarily = chibi with a small head... I don't know, chibis are very exaggerated and cartoony as a whole; it's not all down to head size. I think it would be better to approach drawing children as adults with different proportions. When drawing adults, the head takes up about 1/7th of the body, right? Or 1/6th for a younger woman... Whereas for kids, it'd be more like 1/4. *trying to remember from the few drawing books I've read* What would you say, Emi? (As the only other artist here xD)

By all means, please do apply for toner :3 You've got nothing to lose. Think about it: if you don't apply, it'll be the same as applying for the position and not getting it; you'll still be an artist for the studio. But if you do apply and get the position then you'll have two positions in the studio. Nothing ventured, nothing gained~

What would you say, Emi? (As the only other artist here xD)

*cough*


As for proportions, I think 4 heads is relatively cartoony for a 5 year old, which in case they say babies are 4 heads high. Which is also standard for chibis, since they use relatively the same proportions, you can be quite generous with head size XD. But they're also relatively close to adult proportions (children I mean) which is 6 heads high. They do have a bigger head in proportion to adults. But only slightly. Yeah, you can fudge up proportions quite a lot when drawing a kid. Just take Dennis the Menace for example.

I live with a little bro so....yeah.

So if you don't mind me critiquing the pic (feel free to do so for any pic I post XD), the proportions all around look good, but there is something off about the legs. I feel like the torso can be a bit smaller and the legs lengthened a touch...wait this is a 5 yr old (I'm imagining my 4 yr old broXD) so the torso can stay the same length, but I do think the legs can still be lengthened. Also, I find that the feet throw off the legs, since they look like animal paws, when it's actually a boy wearing a suit. In which case, there is no indication of feet underneath. Which I feel can start where the paws end.
