"The more i try, the more i ruin a picture."


uhh bullshit,

this is by far, in my eyes, greater than the vast majority of whats being submitted to FA right now,

thumbs up to ya man

Thank you. :]

Though the bit about ruining pictures isn't a lie - i constantly overwork them. That's what i strive on improving now.

I got to agree , this by far is one of good ones on fa. What i love more is the use of colors on it.

Thank you! :]

You're joking about the anatomy part, right? Right?

It fits the context of the picture and it's re-e-e-eally likeable. Love the legs...

Thanks!

Actually I'm not. It's got flaws I don't know how to fix yet.
I have no idea what a twisting torso looks like, for example.
Good thing anatomy isn't the most improtant thing in a picture.

The torse looks okay enough, but if you would've gone for some extra realism, you could've considered the fat and the skin depression and gentle overall twist, spine being the twisting point. Like a wave.

Shut me up.

Anyway, you seem to have quite plenty of knowledge there.

oh i like how you're all like i ruined this

oh wait no i don't like that because you're so wrong it hurts my butt

+fav!!!

Hahah! I'll have in mind to keep my wide mouth shut next time. :]

aahh, you may not like it... but i sure do!

also, i'd be extremely honored if you were to color any of my work. just let me know which drawings you had in mind, 'cause some of them are in dire need of re-scanning.
hehh, i sent you a note saying the same thing, but i don't think it went through :/

Thanks!

Likewise about the honor thing. :]
Note? I'm too dumb... Where does one find the notes anyways???
To say the truth, I have no preference for which of them to color - they're all freaking awesome. It'd be cool if you choose one you like or would like to see colored most. (Or just random one you don't mind me messing up.)

Don't know if I can finnish it fast - lots of work ahead for me...

No worries, friend. i'll find some good ones for ya.

just be sure to have fun :D

Ruin?? Ruin??? It's incredible... :XP

Thank you!

This rocks! nice sense of color and light, warmth and cool

Thanks!

It's funny you say that, because I never learned to distinguish warm from cool and vice versa... :]
I see light, colors and how they relate. I can't feel warm nor cold. I know how to make colors warmer or cooler if anyone asks to, but i never got that temperature sensation.
Yes, i'm very frustrated about it.

interesting that you bring up temperature sensation....I never heard of that..I understand that a painter can inject his/her "feelings" in to the work but the concept is new.You say your frustrated, I take there are artist out there who have that sensitivity to their work also?

heh, right now I wish you could ruin some more stuff on furaffinity, frankly a lot of stuff should be destroyed just like this!

The acrylic type touch you've put on this is amazing from where I'm sitting, but I know exactly where you're coming from on the overwork part having painted heavily in my high school years. The only way to overcome that is very carefully with a very dull but stiff knife and pray to god that you don't cut the canvas or wear it through in spots, just kinda try to scrape off layers... in computers just go through all the layers and take the eraser to all of them in the spot you want. then start hiding them and work your way up from the bottom. Tedious; but I think its better than scrapping an entire piece.

sorry for the long comment, hope it helps though.

Thanks for the knife tip! I'll have to try that when i get to painting traditionally. I paint in Painter nearly always on one layer, so smudging things up isn't hard. I chose to throw away the piece more often, though. You can polish a turd but it'll still be that - a turd. :]

The background does conflict with the character in the foreground. But in a general sense, looks good.

That's exactly the problem. It's been plaguing me since i started it. I don't mind the two bright shapes, but certain insignificant areas I don't want to attract attention get on my nerves. I noticed the small faint orange shapes at left are too distracting only after uploading, for example.

Thank you!

To be honest, after looking at this again, I think that makes it that much better. It's almost like he's trying to escape whatever is in the background.

Oh this lighting is perfect・・・ I love it!!

Thank you. :]

I wish i could handle light as subtly as you someday, though.

Cool!!
