Description Was for Naimoka.com contest. But yeah, like the usual, I didn't win. I really suck at contest >_< I should probably stop entering in any drawing contests, cuz I am never able to win. >3< Must be something wrong with my concept and crap.

Anyways, original characters. The theme was "in the name of love" but in my mind, I have this vision of some foggy room and two charas getting into a train or some gate. So yea, that was my idea lol. But I didn't really cg it that way.

I just realize my monitor is really different from the monitor I used to cg this, so it looks darker on my screen but lighter on some others. So now, I don't know what the contrast/brightness actually looks like XD;; (I need a new monitor...dumb bulky 15" XD!!)

*adds this to my print shop X3*

I really like this. The lighting and motion is good and it is well drawn. That said- and noting the "critique discouraged"- I want to make one teensy weensy suggestion. Don't hate me. I think maybe their torsos should be a little thicker. I know you intend them to be thin people, but their bodies are almost the same width as their heads.

Don't hate me, pleeese. I think it's really good other than that. But all arists need a little critique now and then. I accept as much as I give, I'm no hypocrite. I just believe there is no limit to how much an artist can improve. ^^

Lol. Well, its definitely not something I should be offended at all. But I already discussed this with my friend (who like to draw more thicker characters), and well, my style really are very thin elongated body (after being influenced by certain artists who does some lovely elongated body and encouraged by one of my art teacher). So I can't help it, because I've become really accustomed to and will evolve around. But thanks anyways XD

LOL. How many people are going to say my characters look thin XD;;; (hyung-tae influence okay XD) Also it could be the illusion that he is thinner from his clothing lol. But I think I don't post often, so you dun see how skinny my characters have gotten in my sketchbook lol.
And I don't think my cg and drawing changed XD;;; or did it ?

Don't say that u should stop entering Art contests ... u are inspiring a lot of people .. so u are not allowed to Give Up like that ( )

It is a very nice job indeed .. i love u character designs and coloring .. the facial expressions and acc. are nice too ( + fav )

U might need to work on concepts and so .. but that's the problem of most artists amateur and professional alike

so cheer up and Best of Luck
