I think its lovely! The only thing I would say is that the lines that are closer to us (in perspective) should be a bit bolder than those further away to give it more depth. Just a thought, though I think its gorgeous Hope this helps and makes sense.. if not just be like "HUWHAT? D:~~!!"

Yeah, it's just something I learned from doing perspective in art classes, it just helps bring certain things out and gives it more depth. Hope that helps~!!

The whole thing is beautiful, but I'm in love with the color of her dress the most, and the shading of it. And the lace-up design...yeah, I love that dress. (Or top, I was just assuming it was a dress...I shouldn't do that).
And she is so, so pretty, a gentle, sweet look, so I understand the title completely.

I love how one of your deviations is telling people how to [not suck on deviantart] yet you break-out of the ordinary and upload another of the exact same picture painted slightly differently. Seriously, how many times have you uploaded this one? I mean its a nice picture but come on. After the fifth time it loses its identity and people just end up getting freaking anoyed with it. Your an awesome artist but youll never be recognized if your gallery consists of the same picture with different color schemes.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KyraShangea In reply to BubbleTrip976 [2007-12-13 00:55:35 +0000 UTC]

Wow. You stop, and listen a second.

The first three that were uploaded were uploaded because I was asking for opinions on the pieces. I did three different styles for the pieces by asking people what they thought -- something that I can't do by just sitting there and staring at the screen. Do you see me doing that for every single piece of artwork? No. I don't even upload works in progress, like a ton of people do.

Second of all, I colored it for the first time in July. That was 5~6 months ago. I colored with OpenCanvas, and with a mouse. So now, I wanted to recolor it, as the description says, because I was in the mood for coloring. I have photoshop and a tablet pc now. I don't upload artwork to get people's approval of what I do. I upload to get critique, and to show artwork that I've done, and what I'm proud of. I'm not showing my gallery to someone who I'm looking for a job from. This is a personal art site where I look for critique.

If someone is annoyed with my piece, they should just say nothing, and close the window. Then everyone wins.

And how does "How to Not Suck on DA" have anything to do with this...? Did you read that, even? I have done nothing of the sort that goes against the piece.

BubbleTrip976 In reply to KyraShangea [2007-12-13 01:16:33 +0000 UTC]

SO, basically, what your saying is you dont upload artwork for peoples approval but for yourself? Well then why the heck did you make a tutorial crucifying people who upload stick-figures? They did that for themselves, not for you to judge. You said if someone was annoyed with your piece, they need to keep their mouths shut and close the window. Why didnt you do that instead of making a tutorial about how much they piss you off? Im not saying stick-figures are art Im just saying at least follow your own advice.

And as I look back and read my comment I realize that I do need to chill out. Im starting $hit thats causing unecessary problems. -Josh

KyraShangea In reply to BubbleTrip976 [2007-12-13 02:10:07 +0000 UTC]

-shakes head- See, what I said is that stick figures aren't quality... I say that they really don't belong, because they aren't really trying. Those people shun critique. From my experience, that is. But seriously, most stick figure people don't... care about anything. They treat this entire site as a joke. I don't personally go comment on someone's deviation that is of a stick figure to bother them -- that's not my business. But that doesn't mean I approve of it. My tutorials have been more at the moronic people who don't understand these things.

I appreciate that you think you do need to chill out... though with stuff I've been getting lately, I still feel strongly about what I said.

I didn't think it looked bad before, but you have to admit this one is much better looking in comparison.

Um, well, imo. >>

cranblerry [2007-12-12 21:29:21 +0000 UTC]

This one is a lot bolder and prettier, IMO.

Bold = good.

It gives it a stronger look, which, to me, seems like it's a contradiction to the title. Almost... "I'm delicate, but strong. Don't screw with me."

IDK.

It made more sense in my head. xD;;;

yereth-atl [2007-12-12 19:59:53 +0000 UTC]

I gotta say I like the other one better ._.

Its just that here colors are like really contrasting and everything in the piece just pops up. In the older one everything is more subtle (or however its spelled/said) Also the lines here are stronger and gives it a cartoonish look, whie in the other one they almost mix with the colors. Finally the eyes are way more expressive on the last one.. I m sorry ._. its just that the other one looks well... more "Delicate" .-.

But thats just me... (I also like the other bg better... don't hate me '-_-)

Feel free to hide this comment (yeah, like if you couldn't just do it jaja... ok, now my expression abilities are all messed up... like my spelling .-.)
