At first I was like "oh man fanart jeez this is boring", but that last picture with the twisty piano keys is pretty cool.

I'd love to see more stuff like that.

a lot of people like that one. i will def. work on doing more like that~

@ snakes: yeah you're right....thanks for pointing that out

@ inviktis: it's ok idc everybody has their own personal preference. i just don't like people who think manga/comics aren't art. it's not easy to draw anything in any style~

u wanna talk about what's not art let's talk about modern art barfs all over a white canvas and sells it for 1million dollars.

some modern art is good ok but a lot of it is tripe i dont think there is one whole genre that can suck but certainly a majority of one can lol

im really at a loss with your art :{

i love your lines, your probably one of my fav artists on gaia
because your style is consistent and recognizable and w/e

your little characters always have life and energy :}!

what im not very fond of its your color palette
it really tends to downplay how amazing and solid your lines are

like i dont know, theres just something a little off with the color choices
it doesnt like showcase your skill well enough its kind of too desaturated (?) xD

or something, maybe its that its a kind of rough coloring
and your lines are just soooo ******** clean? xD



i was with icono in being all omg fanservice bs....
but the last one (and a few of your other pieces on your da *ya i do watch u lols*)

really make me feel for you as one concept artist to another
you totally "get it" now make more of "it" xD

I'm kind of with the previous poster on your colors. It's not because they're desaturated, but they're not very solid and there isn't always much variation between light and dark (which is hard to achieve with markers as it is). I don't know what kind of markers you use, but I can still see a lot of streaks left where there should be solid color.

If you're not using a clear blending marker, you should definitely consider it. It'll help keep your colors smooth. It's especially good to have if you're working on thicker paper or illustration board. Otherwise the ink will dry too quickly to work with if you like to take your time.

I can see in the last one that you've colored over the same spot in the girl's hair, and the resulting overlap shows up darker. Try to avoid doing this, if you can. Follow the lines you drew for her hair rather than coloring over the lines in huge chunks.

Unfortunately, I can't agree with the whole "if you don't like *manga* then don't look."

Manga techinically is just japanese comic book. It has nothing to do with style: Tokyo mew mew vs. Berserk are completely different, yet "manga style". Watch with that.

Looking at your cartoons, I can really tell you have basic to limited understanding of how things just fit together. Even looking at your figures, if you get rid of the colour, and simply trace the face, they are all almost the same (the females having bigger lips/eyes than males, but really no noticeable difference).

Specifically the second one, you have no idea how lighting or folds work, and the background gives nothing to the image. The face also shows no understanding of basic shapes; what comes forward and what goes back.

It doesn't matter what style you draw in; however, you need to start studying anatomy, lighting, and the basics much more in order for your "manga style" to look much more appealing.
