I'm having some trouble seeing your images. It looks like they are being hosted on gmail, which seems like it could be the problem. Unless anyone else can see these, I would recommend switching to a different image host ASAP, Electrolyte.

EDIT: Great, you're all set!

Sorry, I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: I changed to Photobucket and fixed it. I hope it's better now.

I'd like to request a picture of a Mamoswine, preferably hand-drawn, as those were my favorites among the art you've shown. I look forward to seeing more of your art!

Here's another piece of art, this time a bit more unique:



I am a very avid player of Minecraft, so I was bored one day and made this picture. Enjoy!

@ Shauntal: yes, I told magenta to tell you that I'd work on it right after MAC. Don't worry ^^

@Birkal: you are certainly very welcome my friend! Happy birthday! :D

I like this art, but I think factors could be improved. As I'm an amateur artist, don't take this to heart as I may be wrong, but these are my opinions.

Proportions: Notice how Mamoswine's right leg (our left) looks stubbed and outstretched. This is a problem with hand-drawn artwork, as it is harder to cover up mistakes. You can look at the artwork once finished and decide what needs changing, but without proportions, the art looks poor, and I know you're not a poor artist. (Articuno, Rayquaza)

LineArt: Mamoswine;s body seems too round. Grumpig's arms and legs seem detatched or cut off from the rest of the body. The right Ninjas's head looks partly cut off, and Gardevoir's arms seem stick-like. Rotom Mix, most noticeably, looks really uneven with the outline, which you could work on. You definitely need to be smoother with your art, as shaky hands lead to shaky art.

Colour: Now I know your style is hand drawn, but the colours still look scribbled. This might just be my biased opinion though, as I lean towards digital art.

Background: The art looks quite empty without proper colour as a back setting. For example, the Summer-themed art piece has patches of semi-drawn grass. A mountain range, valley, etc would vastly improve the piece.

As I said, don't take these criticisms to heart. I'm sorry if I sound too harsh, but I know you've got potential and I'm trying to help.

Don't worry, I'm not offended. You're right, my shakyness has been a huge problem lately- which is why I can't draw with computers. As for an empty background; a lot of that is intentional, and the Articuno proves that I can do a good background if I wanted to. In the summer piece, I felt that making the whole background green / blue would distract viewers from the main focus.

As for coloring, I happened upon a new method- half drawing, half computerized, kind of like what Zrack does. I would draw on paper first, and then use a computer to color it, so it will hopefully look a bit nicer. Thanks for the input! I really appreciate it! :D

here is Shauntal's request of a Chandelure and Skitty:
You'd better not touch my treats


I always thought Hyper Beam was a rainbow, so that's how I drew it! Enjoy!

Can I just say that the Munchlax and Chandelure are amazing, and that you have vastly improved as an artist. Well done!
