Description Hi guys!

FINALLY our internet is back on again, so I celebrate it by practicing a slightly different style and doing expressions. I was is a very experimental mood at the time, so this is the outcome.

Waaah I miss drawing my OCs! <33

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


You have a style that is unique enough to bring me a sigh of relief

That a person such as yourself can find time to make a masterpiece without any exercise or grief.

The first one on the top left is happiness when meeting someone you haven't met in a while

The second on to the right is " Hey you wanna make out?"

The third one is "I just got what I wanted"

The fourth one is "You look absolutely beautiful"

The fifth one is you looking at me as if you've heard that one before

So the 6th one is when I wink

And the 7th one is when you really look at me and begin to think.

The only thing I would recommend trying to change is refurbish it by removing that glossy look since it looks a bit overdone otherwise everything else is expression perfect.

One person reminded me how she would look like if she got upset over a game over the internet haha.

Thank you so much for the critique!

It was challenging, but I'm glad to hear it from you.

Each and every expression represent a part of a personality of each of my characters, so that's how I portray them. ^^

Thank you again!

Thank you.
Nah, it's still far from perfect. The expressions still lack of something...it's still too anime-ish to me. >.<

JulietsPuppY In reply to stardazzle [2013-05-01 05:17:19 +0000 UTC]

It's a bit more cartoony than anime-ish. In my opinion.

OMG!

I don't know what's more amazing about this. The way how their age is very distinctive. Also, I like how each expression is very.. well, expressive. Even if it's semi-realism, there's really some life in their faces as if they were alive. Both Alveo and Christian are very handsome that I couldn't stop smiling so stupidly back at them. The girls' expressions fit their personality quite well. Charmaine looks motherly. (She is the eldest after all.) Iris looks mischievous, Felicity being adorable and Vivian's epic pout. Of course, I wouldn't forget Sean. He's so cute with his cheerful smile. I say that you'd done a wonderful job in this practice. Your style is getting more unique and you're definitely improving. Kepp it up.

*couldn't help but notice your new icon*

Waah thank you so much! I'm glad that you said it. I've always wanted to portray their ages correctly, back then I could never draw Charmaine because she used to always look like 18 instead of 21. It's good to know that for once I made my babies Alveo, Sean, and Christian actually look like guys because my old drawings of them look like girls. XD
Yes I've been practicing I'm still struggling to draw different features to differentiate and easy for me to tell apart. I'm still under the same-face syndrome, but I'll live.

Thank you so much! I deeply appreciate your support. How's it going with your art? I'm in deep withdrawal with your works as of now ;u;

Oh, it's by =HatakeSage and his name is Lute , a character from my collaborated story, Muziq,with `Tajii-chan He likes pearl milk tea.

No problem.

I could really see the improvement. Now that, you've mentioned it, it does make me wonder how the story goes now that you seemed to have made some changes over the year, too.

I think my coloring skills are degrading so I'm just retreating to my personal projects to make me feel better about myself before my birthday (I'm turning 18 on the 18th of May. XD) like my website for example. QwQ

Aaah it looks so cute to me. Hehe, "Lute". He looks such a cutie pie. <33
whatever story you're collaborating, I wanna hear it! XD

Hmm speaking of that, the story and the characters' bios have drastically change since last year, like it is so different, that I have to make a new ref sheets for them because they are far more different since their last ones. Also, the story change from weird fantasy to industrialized, post-apocalyptic sci-fi.

I don't think so. What I like the most about your artworks in entirety is your pixel art, most especially your animations!
Oh shoot, it's gonna be your bday soon? QoQ Why did I not know it sooner ;n;
Don't worry I'm gonna draw you a gift! Hopefully ;u;

Sitraxis In reply to stardazzle [2013-04-29 00:58:55 +0000 UTC]

It must be his pigeon streaks.*v* //Some characters said it was cute. Well, Muziq is about a city that was once known for its clock tower and beautiful midnight chimes until shadow beasts have formed. And the citizen's only hope are the formed bands musical ability. My character Lute is a self-proclaimed Conductor because he can control sound waves.

It seems to be more suitable to the theme. I'm looking forward to how the story goes in this post-apocalyptic world concept. Random since it's "The Crossover", I don't mind RPing with you someday.

Aww...QwQ One, Thank you. I'll try my best when I get to work on them again. Two, I actually wanted to make you a birthday gift too //points to to-do list. So let's make it a trade?

stardazzle In reply to Sitraxis [2013-04-30 00:01:32 +0000 UTC]

Haha I thought so too. *7* It looks very unique if you ask me.
WAAAAH the story sounds really interesting, I really want to know what's gonna happen when you guys make a comic/visual novel/whatevs with it! Which reminds me, me and my best friend used to collaborate a similar story with music elements (but yours is really intricate; ours was simply cliche XD)

Thank you Yeah, I fully decided to be a post-apocalyptic sci-fi since it makes a lot more sense to me anyway. ^u^ GAH I really miss RPing! Gone the days when I always have free time to RP with someone.

You're absolutely welcome! I'm looking forward to your artworks
Hahaha so it's a birthday art trade then? XD I actually made a sketch of your OC Nut was it right? ;u; but it was such A LONG TIME AGO ACKK

Thanks. `Tajii-chan has the first 7 chapters of the novel re-written but I'm not sure when she's going to post it. She said maybe after we post all characters or when we split it into tinier fragments because each chapter is that long but I can e-mail you, just not me your e-mail.

Just hearing you work on "The Crossover" makes me want to work on Veiled now. Anyway, I'd love to RP with you when you're available.

So be it, then! Shall we just surprise each other? I wanted to draw stardazzle for you. >3<

stardazzle In reply to Sitraxis [2013-04-30 12:09:56 +0000 UTC]

Haha that's cool. Don't take it much from me, but I do suggest, like you said, you should post all the characters in the story first before posting a chapter. That way people will know who's this and that.
yeah sure why not XD

Aww THEN GO FINISH IT GURL. Seriously, the last thing you need is to be as lazy as me.


Well other than being busy with requests, I'm pretty much free.

Iriselle: Who says about being busy? You just watched Iron Man 3 in the cinema this aftern---

OKAY BABY that's a little too much information.

AWESOME! Actually, my Felicity will definitely suit your style, but heck, surprise me! XD
I ain't gonna tell you who I'll be drawing for you though...*laughs maniacally*

Ah yes. that's true. ;v; //We'rebothbusyprocrastinators on dA. Anyway, we just finished it yesterday and now, we're doing the sequel. while doing another collaborated story and some spin-offs from Muziq. XD

I stand corrected. We're all procastinators.

I love Iron Man 3! Tony Stark made spy movies and kid's play believable. Go Mechanic!


Oh yeah! You wouldn't know what's coming.
