Description EDIT: HUGE CONGRATS to , one of my dearest friends, who won the contest. I am so happy for you luv, and thanks for your graciousness in sharing images from your prize mangas with me! Roxy's winning piece can be found here: [link]

DOUBLE EDIT: P.S. Certain Slayers fan artist (and I will be a lady and not mention who you are outright, since this deviation is in three separate Slayers group galleries) : Here is my final message to you. Stop saying petty negative things about "the other contest entrants," which obviously includes me, and gathering groupies to vote against me in club-wide contests. Yes, I caught you doing that: You're not very good at being sneaky, and the person who won is one of my closest friends. Your gestures of praise toward her, someone whose beautiful fanart you never gave attention before this recent contest, is clearly not a case of innocent praise. It was silly, it wastes your time and energy, the nasty character judgment you make is untrue and everyone who matters to me KNOWS it's untrue, and it will NOT stop me from being a happy and successful artist. This sort of behavior is EXACTLY WHY I have you blocked on both your main account and on your Xelloss club account, which you used to send me angry messages when we disagreed over the extent to which rape-art is emotionally damaging. Please. Get over your anger at a misunderstanding we had over a year ago. You are a talented artist and have better things to do than find ways to take nips at my self-confidence.
************************************

My official entry for 's contest due March 20. Consider lending me your vote!

Only criteria were to format it for a regular sheet of vertically oriented paper, to include "Slayers Club" somewhere in the composition, and to include Lina, Gourry, Zelgadiss, Amelia, and Xelloss.
This was SO RUSHED, so I know I don't really have a chance, but what I was able to do I found fun. I have never drawn the whole cast before.

Left to right, top: Rezo Greywers the Red Priest, Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev. Bottom: Zelgadiss Greywers, Amelia Wil Teszla Seyruun, Lesser Beast Xelloss Metallium.

Under Lina's boot you will notice a tiny Gracia Ul Naga Seyruun facing away from us

I wanted to include Filia and Sylphiel too, but ran out of room

Thanks for your support and comments!

Comments like this always leave me puzzled. Getting better at what specifically? Give me a detailed critique when you leave qualifying statements like this.

Also it's doubly puzzling to me since it's hard to tell if I am getting better at the Rui Araizumi style when I never use it

Thanks in advance for being more specific!

It's not the style you are getting better at, it's your human structure. They still need a lot of work and that will only get better with consistent practice and drawing your tail off. But the last time I really looked at your art, the work was not as strong in structure as this is. It just shows me you are getting a bit more confident in your skills as a mark maker.

You really shouldn't be worrying about getting better at any style right now. You should just be working at making your drawings stronger and more true to whatever you are drawing from. Style will come after you have confidence and skill behind you.

I'm not saying to stop there. You need to keep at it. I just noticed improvement and wanted to tell you to encourage you.

AmberPalette In reply to LossingFeathers [2010-03-31 22:32:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow. Hm. Actually I graduated summa cum laude ( 3.98 gpa) from college in studio art, with a portfolio full of the human body My distortions of form are conscious mannerisms--which evidently don't please you, and I am sorry to hear that, but everyone's taste is valid, so it's fine. But I am a 26-year-old, I have almost completed my PhD in art history, I spent four years in intensive honors studio classes and got straight A's from viciously critical proferssors, soooo. I already have quite a strong grasp of anatomy and I have a marked style which have made me very successful in the art world

I don't think you mean to be condescending, since you had no idea of my professional training, so I'm trying not to be offended. But. Perhaps to return your friendly gesture with another: Between us, I think you should know that someone else with my extensive training might be very offended if they didn't know better that your pep talk about developing basic fundamental drawing skills was innocently intended, and meant to encourage.

Just a heads up But thanks for attempting to be specific.

That's all well and good. And I'm glad for your training, but I am near close to your training as well and I am your age with world travel under my belt, but that does not mean anything. I have found over the years that schooling means little more then a paper in your hand. It is what you produce as an artist or what you teach or write as a critic that really matters. The comment was ment to encourage you, not to discourage or offend. I just felt impressed on myself to say something, as in 'well done' 'good for you' "you're doing well" and the like. It was not a jab and matter of fact you might feel well and good to think you are improving in someway as an artist if another points it out, even if you distort the figures consciously. You where the one that wanted more feedback. I assumed that you where looking for ques for improvement. I gave an honest answer. I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't want one.

But I'm sorry I said anything at all. It's sad the day when a complement is tossed back into the givers face. That was all it was.
