Hello, I'm from


You certainly have a signature style, the colors and hard shading give your artwork a stained-glass appearance. And considering that your gallery has fantasy/medieval undertones I would say that those two features complement each other pretty well


With that said, it is refreshing to see bold lineart used like this, when razor-thin lineart seems to be more prominent. Yet the lineart is still nevertheless smooth. Another plus for this picture is the composition, providing a nice sense of depth with the varying size between the young man and his date (who makes a good focal point at the same time), plus the negative space is nicely utilized with the banquet tables and windows


As for what I have to critique about this painting, is that there is a little too much contrast. (Which I find funny because most artists seem to have too little ). As I mentioned depth earlier, subjects decrease with detail/color/contrast the further from the viewer they are, so dialing down on the shadows would help. In this case, I think the high contrast on the girlfriend's face is a little strong and could be off-putting in a way. Secondly, seeing how you work the swirl-style shading in most of the picture, as to not disrupt the rhythm of the picture, I would continue that same style for the wall and even the sky which would really harmonize the piece. And finally, though a petty flaw, those background banquet tables have no chairs


Overall though, this is a well done, atmospheric and fun piece. Good job

Thank you so much for all your kind words and criticism! 

For the contrast, that is definitely understandable haha. I have also noticed that many artists don't use enough, so I always try to add as much contrast as possible, I had not realized it actually hindered the pieces at points! 

I also hadn't thought to add swirls to the sky, but I think that would definitely help to unify the piece more

And oh man I was drawing the background and ready to move on already! The idea of drawing more chairs was not appealing, I guess the consequence of that is a distracting background haha

Once again thank you so much for your comment,  I greatly appreciate it!

One can never tell how a dinner date like this will go down.    She seems like the kind of person who likes her drinks but you have to be careful with her because she could do something unexpected.

Oh man that's for sure, she's fun to be around but overwhelming at times! In my head I imagine she tosses the glass away and pulls him across the table for a kiss

It looks really nice, but the shininess if everything is too exaggerated. Aesthetic purposes of course, it doesn't matter. But i think that the shines should really be dominate on chairs, hair, and maybe floor. Otherwise, it looks great and well shaded!

Thank you so much for your kind words and critiques! I like to add low opacity overlays to unite a piece better, but this time I wanted to try out adding direct shine to the outline of the character closest to the light source. I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out, but that definitely detracts from the overall flow of the piece. Thank you again for pointing that out, I will keep it in mind while creating future drawings!

ALSO, You did the animation meme VERY well! I don't often watch them anymore due to most people not putting in a load of effort, but the amount of work you did in every frame of animation REALLY shows, especially for the BANG BANG part!

If I could suggest where to improve on this for your next meme (if you do more), I would say either try making the tweening animation (namely where the hourglass is held up) smoother, or change to frame-by-frame for that too. The consistency of using the same type of animation throughout the video would be a bonus too! It is a bit more work but it'll look a whole lot better, since I can see you're pretty skilled with FBF anim already!

Thank you so much, I am honored you like it aahhh!!

I'll admit that's my least favorite part too, but by the time I noticed how out of place it was I REALLY didn't want to finish, really lazy I know  

But I have started my next Animation meme, trying out ToonBoom for the first time as well, so I'm focusing extra hard on the elements of FBF!

Once again thank you so much, I'm extra inspired to do better next time!

Wow, that's a VERY unique way to shade! I really like it, it adds a extra whimsy to the already caricature-esque style! Vert well done!
