Description I swear I'm hating this one. Kind of liked it before scanning but then...AAAARGH. Hate scanners. Hate hate hate. HATE. Lets burn them ALLL. B<

Then, why are you submitting?, you ask. Because I'm an idiot who loves submitting stuff only to delete it 2 hours later. haa!

Either way, scanner rage aside, this was supposed to be one of *treeworshipper 's characters, whose name I...don't know orz. Sorry~ I didn't know his colors either, so ended up going crazy - I know it looks like I was high or so. But,as usual, no sober color picking here. It's my karma. Quite possibly.
So, Treeesssiiieee!❤ I'm not really "hoping you like it" because... it obviously sucks, but just wanted to let you know that I've triiiiiied /sobsob. I'm so sorry.

It makes me sad to see you don't like it, either way it going in my "inspiration folder" once I download it. Its gorgeous, and im sure even more beautiful without being scanned! Very Well done im absoulutly in love with it!

I love unattached limbs, they're so visually pleasing sometimes. the movement is especially nice with this sort of organic, nature focused theme where it looks like water is cascading over the persons body with the flowers and wildlife growing through them. The soft colours provide a nice sense of harmony and well being, along with the curvy lines making for a really nice harmonious image

if you burn your scanner we won't be able to see your work, even the colors are killed! ^^"
But you did it well!

If the scanner isn't doing justice to your artwork, then I'd faint at the sight of it. You. Are. Amazing.

oohhh
i really love this style, where everything looks like it's melting... it's.. interesting..
and forget sober colors! no way, rainbows barfing everywhere is definitely more fun than sobriety.. XD

ahh anyway, i really love the combination of organic shapes in this.. as I said before, looks like everything's melting? :3 it's a nice effect. it's like this picture is just BEGGING to be stared at, glanced at again and again.. @w@..
this image just screams organic.. from the colors to the shapes to the little flower in the middle... sure you used lots of colors, but none of them are deafeningly, awfully, blatantly bright. they're calm... not artificial.. lol there I go again, reading too deep into the image.. ah well.

in all honesty I can't think of much to make this image better... I think that if some of the colors weren't quite so smudged, it would look bolder and more "speak for itself" kind of a drawing... rather than "oops I smudged too much here" maybe that wasn't your intention but it looks like it could be sharper/bolder in some places (to the left of the flower, for example)
I think, also, maybe you could put more focus on the character's face through use of more contrast or something.. like if you used a darker color to outline his hair?(though I like the soft look right now) because at first glance, my eyes wander elsewhere and the focal point isnt necessarily the character. that's fine if that was your intention though :3

eee
I think I'm done now X3
oh.. except.. right above the flower-type thing, hanging from a red line... what is that?

Nooo, you're right, it does look super smudged, specially the colors - The scan was awful, and then I messed up with photoshop ;__; Though I do tend to "overwork" most of what I do - my teachers keep telling me that as well (but the face really is smudged, cannot blame it on the scanner haha)
The hanging thing was supposed to be a boot (since it was kind of a ..."key-element" of the character, but I really can't draw footwear.)
Thank you so so so much for your comment, it makes me really happy when people take their time to write comments as helpful as yours <3

maffy-pop In reply to ikenai [2010-02-21 01:12:54 +0000 UTC]

well, it's not a huge problem and it definitely doesn't ruin the piece itself... *loves this drawing*
the face is smudged? I didn't notice at all..

a boot? OOOHH I see it now.. XD alright! it'd be better if the smog/sludge/smoke/swirlies weren't covering most of it though.. bah, don't worry, I'm terrible with footwear as well. :l

you're so so so welcome X3 I know I love long comments, so I give them out as much as possible... <3 I'm really glad it was helpful too ;w;

I wish I could do abstract things like this. I however, am only able to do the standard people. I'm not this creative yet. This is totally amazing. Groundbreaking, and breathtaking. Totally a favorite of mine!

Everyone's creative in their own way (besides, I always think I lack imagination and that everything I do looks the same. And it does.)

Thank you so much! <3

ikenai In reply to havockid [2009-05-09 03:37:10 +0000 UTC]

It does, now that you mention it. It was never my intention though, I see no point in creating something similar to someone else's artwork, but sometimes pictures you see are so stuck in your head you don't even realize them anymore. I guess I'll have to work harder, and hopefully, someday, it won't look like anyone else's style.
Thank you for your comment~

havockid In reply to ikenai [2009-05-09 08:16:57 +0000 UTC]

i know its quite an insult to say that ones work looks like anothers artists style but i was just pointint it out. i hope u arnt mad

haha but i do agree, i myself have like no style, i can change my style with every refrence image i have XD haha

i think its actually quite fine to have a similar style as long as it looks great and u din mean it to!
though it would b awesome to see u find some style tat is truely absolutely unique to u )

thanks

Of course I'm not I think that the whole point of submitting your artwork in a community like deviantart is to "be better", considering every critique, so I'm the one who has to thank you for pointing that out. ❤

Feel free to be as honest as possible whenever you comment on my stuff, really. It helps a whole lot

These colors are completely different from the ones in the original pic, because the original was a lot "colder", but no matter how hard I tried, couldn't keep them after scanning ;;
But thank you so much for your commmeent! I'm so glad you liked it hun ;; ❤
