Because everyone deserves to be acknowledged

I'll try my best to get back to everyone but I'd appreciate engagement from others as well

If you don't want any critique and just want to share, just say so

i drew this a couple days ago

nice art

i like the quotes and how you made the sky look swirly

@galaxyunicorn-is-in-love-with-starry Very nice!
I can't say that I understand the context of it but I do like the atmosphere. Is it a reference to Van Gogh?

Here's some feedback:
To make the character look more a part of the background you could make the grass cover her lower legs completely
While the anatomy isn't bad it wouldn't hurt to study some human anatomy, particularly the shape of the legs
I think some care to neaten the piece would make it more effective visually, particularly where the skirt meets the legs it's a bit messy

Mendis, the third "badly drawn" dog alongside Remy and Jinro. all are inspired by spirits.

aha lenny face?

yes

it's starry (which is about van gogh so yes), specifically the song wheat fields/finale ultimo. there's one part where everyone is talking about him/his legacy and their voices are overlapping, i pulled out as many phrases as i could hear

legs are hard. i don't like legs
but i'll keep this stuff in mind, thanks!

Is there something in particular I can improve with this? I think the wings and maybe the hair are what's throwing me off, but I'm not sure. And the dinosaur doesn't feel like it fits cohesively into the drawing, but again, I'm not really sure

I think the dinosaur looks a little off because the lines are thicker/denser than the rest of it, which is normal for a print shirt, but maybe adding a line around the white box and thinning the lines on the dino would make it feel more cohesive? I think the hair looks really nice, and the only thing on the wings I would get picky about is the highlights between the middle layer of feathers.

I love the soft shading but I think going into those little spots would make it look really clean and finished.

Alright, thank you! I might try and touch it up the next time I'm on my laptop :0

the only thing i can really think of is maybe use the transform tool on the dino design so that the edges curve a bit with the shirt
other than that i think it looks fine! I absolutely love his freckles :D

Thanks! And I did do that actually, but probably not enough aha

Chester.
He's taking off his face plate.
The circular thing at the base of the neck is the cover to a nutrient cable, it opens the cable comes out and attaches to the nutrient can.
Also the circle on his ring finger is actually the slit where the finger and hand are detachable, it's a form of marriage ritual, when they find a being worth their time, they replace their fingers giving each other their ring fingers, as to always have a piece of each other with them. (He isn't married it's just that where he's from they cut the fingers off at birth and make then detachable, it's still his finger.)
Sorry if all that was confusing, you all can just ask if you want to know more, or if it's confusing, I can elaborate.
Critique wanted.

@Leshierian
I love your art style! I think the lore is actually quite interesting

The main thing that I can see is how long the right arm is particularly in comparison to the left arm. The arm would look quite a bit shorter especially in this angle. The upper arm would be much shorter due to fore-shortening and the lower arm is also a bit long
The face looks a bit flat for this angle and the eyes aren't even but those are the only things that jump out at me

A good piece overall

I have a few rough sketches of characters…they're very messy and not very good but any feedback is welcome

Bronn

Asik

Althia

Carena

I really love your drawing of Asik! The main thing I would say about the others is that the noses aren't particularly distinct, but I think everything else is really nice!

Thank you!
Yeah, I usually try my absolute hardest to avoid drawing noses but I'll need to confront that eventually

Yeah, I could tell the arms were a bit off.
Since the nose is not on the face it would look a bit flatter, His fingers cover the nose on the face plate, making the whole face look flatter.
The face is turned slightly to the side, so to me at least they seemed even.
I'll have to revise some things.

Thank you for the feedback.

@Remy
I love the colours especially in the sky!

My only critiques would be perhaps centre the clouds to give it a more cohesive composition and having the lighting on the ground follow what the form of the ground would be rather than go out in a circular pattern
