A poll I had on deviantart made me think over a bit on what one of my new pictures should be, and this little idea came out of it! Let me know what you think!! ^_^

I've never known who any of these characters are, but I gotta say, that bunny eared-gal on the right is downright adorable. You drew her sinking very nicely.

The colours look pretty much inside the lines to me. And proper use of perspective would mean that the girls at the back would be significantly smaller, somewhat shortchanging those characters. The only way to get around that would be to have them all next to each other in a line or something.

I think this looks great! You did good on the coloring and all the girls look great the way you drew them! Thanks for putting Hinata in there and for having me in that little side note, that was cool! Keep up the great work! ^_^

What I read was "Let me know what you think," not "Only respond if you like what I drew and are only going to suck my dick about it." I COULD'VE gone into DETAIL about what was terrible about it, but didn't feel the need. But, if you insist:
-little attention to detail
-generic, static style and posing
-lackluster coloring
-coloring not even in the lines (and not in the "used with creative license" kind of outside the lines, I just mean the "done in five minutes" kind)
-no regard for perspective
Seriously. I have a right to state my opinion, just as anyone has a right to post their work, especially if said opinion is asked for. Lady of Mud, I implore you to seek out classes or something to help hone and improve your style and skill.
Dude, you need to just chill alittle on this, ok? She is just starting on her drawings. She's still working on developing her skills. These things usually take time, we can't all be "AcidTesters" right off the bat as soon as we pic up a pencil. I'm sure she appreciates your feedback but please do it in a more politeful manner.

Look dude, I know it's the proper and nice thing to do to just suck everyone's dick over everything, never saying anything negative, but trust me, by exclusively praising something that clearly sucks, you're doing the artist a MASSIVE disservice, and I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand that.
You have an opinion and you are entitled to it but we are a community of friends here. You can offer constructive criticism and still be nice about it without having to "suck everyone's dick." It might also be worth noting that there are a couple of pretty good artists offering praise so your opinion might not be the final word. If you are truly interested in doing some service to the artist you can offer more than a one word drive-by denigration of someone's effort.
We are here for each other. Not to provide anyone with target practice.
Let's all play nice in the future - Thanks.

Ok, there is a difference between helpful criticism and being a dick and you obviously don't see the line drawn inbetween them. Yes, it's helpful to address somethings to them about what they can improve on but theres no reason you have to do it in a rude and disrespectful manner. Give people some time to develope there skills. You should award people on there efforts, drive and inibitions to want to create something rather then discourage them from doing it because you feel that there creations aren't build to your specifications. All I'm saying is that if you want to help them improve then do it in a way that doesn't sound so selfish. You don't have to "suck their dick" but you also don't have to deny them a hug. ^_^

I fully agree. I don't want L.O.M.s comments filled up with nonsense. ^_^
