Is this a gender swap? or just man face?

They looked a lot less manish when they were still sketches. I'm not quite sure why colour seemed to bring out the masculinity (other than Applejack, who always struck me as a tomboy, so I didn't try to make her look as feminine)

But thanks for your comment, it was completely appropriate & an amazing example of constructive criticism
/sarcasm

Pinkie still looks good

Gee, thanks, that means SO MUCH coming from you.

Fine if your gonna be like that... I Won't Buy one...

HAHAHAA


let's analyze our interaction, shall we?

You come in here, & say "Is this a gender swap? or just man face?"
Now, obviously if you actually look at them, it's pretty obvious it's not a gender swap. So you're basically just being an asshole

Then you say you're not going to buy one (which I have SERIOUS doubts that you were going to in the first place) because I'm being a snarky bitch, but I'm only being snarky because you started out being a jerk.


Good luck with whatever the hell it is you're trying to do.

I Was Trying To Be Honest...

You know, You Could have just been Professional about it, "Haha Very Funny, I Guess some of them do look a bit derpy", But No, You wanted to be mean, and Now I will tell my friends not to go to you, not that I do that, but still When You go Around treating Potential Buyers like that, Don't Ask why no one will buy your work.

If I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry, it was not my intentions to do so.

there's a major difference between trying to be honest & being tactful. I have no problems with constructive criticism, but I DO have a problem with a snarky remark that's meant to be 'helpful'.

'is this a gender swap?' is not being honest. It just shows that you're being a jerk about your comment. You could have been respectful of the fact that sometimes things don't turn out the way I want them to, & since I work with traditional media it's not like I can just click 'undo'.
The sketches were adorable, the inked pieces were still cute, but the colour really didn't work with them. What would you suggest I do at this point? Start over from scratch & throw away the work I've already done? Or cut my losses & hope that someone likes them in spite of it?
Every piece of art I make, I have to use resources on, resources that I Have to pay for. I don't like wasting resources, which means that pretty much everything I create I at least attempt to make the best of. I fully admit these aren't my best work, but I'm also working outside my comfort zone with them. I don't draw chibis often, nor do I draw humans. I also don't work with markers very often
Instead of being understanding about the limitations of my abilities, you basically post a comment that would be more appropriate said to one of your friends, behind my back.

go ahead, tell your friends, show them this whole comment thread. I really don't give two shits.

Also, feel free to point to the place where I complained about no one buying my work. Go ahead, I'll wait.


...

find it yet? No? Gee, I wonder why.
Probably because I already get more than enough commissions, & although not everything I post sells, enough of it does to keep me from complaining.
Most people think I'm an absolute pleasure to deal with. Because I am, because they respect me & know the difference between constructive criticism & a mean-spirited comment. But the second someone comes at me with a comment like your original one, I recognize the lack of tact & respect, & I respond accordingly

You reap what you sow. Don't like my attitude? Maybe you should analyze just WHY I'm acting like this towards you & change your behavior accordingly to get the attitude you'd like me to treat you with.

Also -

"Those faces look masculine"

There you go, honesty without being cruel or insulting. Ta freaking da.

IT WAS A JOKE!
I Was Trying to be up beat and funny and not blunt "AJ Looks Like a Man"

Also, These look NOTHING like Chibi...

You just don't get it, do you?


WORKING.
OUTSIDE.
MY.
COMFORT.
ZONE.

Then Why are you Trying To Sell It!

What are you even getting at? Your comment doesn't even make any sense regarding anything I've said.

I've already explained why I'm trying to sell my art.

I work in TRADITIONAL MEDIA.
Not everything turns out perfect, but unless it looks absolutely awful, I TRY TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT



I have anxiety issues. I can't get a job working with people, because I have panic attacks & end up making myself sick & having to call in, until I end up getting fired because of bad attendance.
I can't get on disability for it, because I refuse to take any medication that has serious side effects, so they tell me since I Haven't done everything I can to control it, I obviously am not trying, & I'm ineligible for disability.
I won't go on welfare because I refuse to lower myself to that unless it's an absolute necessity. My pride & my anxiety keep me from asking others for help
INSTEAD, I taught myself to draw, & I create things to sell to make a living, since I can't just go out & get a job. Because, most days, doing this is easier on me.

But NOOO, I have to get assholes like you who get off on making me feel like shit. So I hope you feel REAL GOOD about yourself now, picking on a girl with anxiety issues who doesn't exactly have many other options for employment, & refuses to ask for handouts.
What are you going to do for an encore? Steal candy from mentally handicapped children, or just kick some puppies?

I really don't need somebody nitpicking & criticizing everything I do, then threatening not to buy my stuff when I stand up for myself.

Is this how you make yourself feel better about yourself? Making jokes & snide comments at other people's expense? Criticizing someone who's just trying to make a living doing something they enjoy?

Or do you get off on constantly insulting someone over some stupid trivial thing?

I love purple, so going to be biased, love Twilight Sparkle and Rarity they look adorable! Heck, they all look adorable. ^^ Woot!

Heh, purple's my favourite colour too :) Although I think Fluttershy is probably my favourite, just because of how cute she looks

Mine Too Tho I Like Pinkie Best
