[Clarice Explosion]

Well, it is a slight improvement at least.

The first thing I notice right away with the image are the guns and shadow.

First the shadow shouldn't even look that way. The shadow shows her legs going in two different directions rather than lining up with her legs and up to where the dress begins. The shadow for her legs just do not make much sense.

The guns, I can't tell if she has the triggers pulled all the way, the bullets fired off and she's still holding them for no reason or if you didn't add the triggers for the guns. The gun on the right... somehow it just does not look right, whether it be the handle of it, the odd thing sticking out from the top or just how it looks overall.

The explosion seems to look alright, slightly off the ground, so I am going to take a guess something large blew up in the background after being tossed into the air and almost touching the ground. With the explosion as it is, this bit goes with the shadow, it should be making the shadow lining up with her legs rather than making the shadow legs look like they are opening up.

The slight dark flare to the left of the shadow seems decent enough, however it should look just about the same for the right side rather than a dark little area. Also, with the explosion, there should be a slight wind either blowing her hair slightly to the side or to the front of her sides if she is close enough to the explosion. Should also be a slight amount of dirt/dust moving in the background.

Clarice's hair needs to look a bit messy since I doubt it would stay perfect as it is near an explosion while walking away from one. Her sunglasses, acceptable. The cigarette however, should be showing a slight amount of smoke to it given there is a bit of black at the tip of it. Her arms look alright given the lighting is coming from behind her; same goes for her legs.

The collar/choker she has looks good but what is with the long red piece hanging from it down into her breasts? Is it an aesthetic look or just a technical goof or what? The dress itself seems to be good but like her arms, it should be with good shading, looking closely it seems a brush was taken and just doodling in the shaded area. Take her heels for example, nicely shaded to go with the lighting from the explosion, should try to work on the dress that way to make it look cleaner. The reverse looking "z" on the dress doesn't look very good on her dress.

Overall, improving, just have to practice over time and improve your art style.

[Merry Cookiesmas!]

Looks pretty good. The only thing that worries me a bit are why her thighs and stomach are a bit thick. Aside from that, pretty cool. Was she brought to life by a spell or was she born from a rare breed of cookie people?

Jcdr responds:

She's full of cookie dough :>

She's supposed to be a genderswap version of another character, who was a human before but became a cookie somehow.

[Foot practice]

Practice makes perfect

On the top row, fourth foot looks like it has a ring on the big toe or possibly part of a sandal. Nice to see you're experimenting with different foot poses and all. Also why would Komachi's feet be tired? Was she walking around all day/night?

Overall, good practice.

Jcdr responds:

Thanks :)

Maybe she's just being lazy trying to avoid work.

[pokeddexed challenge: houndoom]

The art style is great yet still feels a bit rushed. I feel you can still complete the challenge without rushing it to catch up actually.

I really like the background. Saying it was a hard choice between Houndoom and Charizard leading to Charizard being part of the background was nice. Gives a feeling that Charizard is about to appear and begin a battle with Houndoom.

As for Houndoom itself, it has a very cartoonish and flexible look to it. Makes it a somewhat special Houndoom I think. Different from the rest of its kin.

Overall, still feels a bit rushed but looks great.

[pokedexxed challenge metagross]

Looks great. The only complaint that I feel I have for this one is Metagross looks a bit rushed. Might just be me though.

I also feel the background could have possibly been a power plant or someplace where steel Pokemon reside.

As for why Mawhile is classified as a Steel type, who knows, maybe the person who made the Pokemon thought a deceptive looking Pokemon should having a fittingly odd type to it. Although from the look of Mawhile, I likely would have made it a Normal/Dark from how it looks.

Overall, very nice.

[Celx Requin's Anamnesis Cover]

I find the concept of a tentacle between the two people interesting. From the way it looks I get the idea this collection will be about someone who suffers from having a split personality trying to control their life.

The basic black background is nice.

Then the red squiggly lines make me think that the red half of the people will be pulling at strings to see to it that things they want get done.

The people, one happy, the other looking angry is another good concept. The circles with a cross, girl, and the teeth in a mouth make it slightly confusing to understand what might be getting ready to happen.

Overall, very interesting. Looking forward to it.

[Meko Hello Kitty Swag]

Very simple looking but looks great at the same time. Could make a great wallpaper for phones. Liking how they have a look of pushing up the glasses to keep them from falling off; that or possibly readjusting them so they can see better. Great and simplistic piece.

[Jillian on the Ocean]

Looking at this I see the sky seems quite realistic thanks to how you drew the clouds. The rock makes me think someone got there before she ever did and painted it a bit.

The rock itself seems to look rather nice and with Jillian as well I like how they both have shades of color showing the light is hitting them from an angle rather than directly above as some other art pieces would do.

The heels, bra, and panties all make for a minimalistic and nice looking outfit on her at the beach. Her power kind of reminds me of Raven from the Teen Titans who has to keep control of her powers since they are powered by emotion. Jillian's power sounds slightly the same only it seems to be triggered by fear or rage during a battle.

Her facial expression seems to show that despite being a half demon she remains fairly nice towards other people.

Overall, background looks great, Jillian looks great. Best of luck with Calamity.

Thank you! You have no idea how good that feels...

[Devil Bunny Teur]

Not that bad looking for a character. However, adding a background couldn't be too bad of an idea for this drawing. One other thing I notice that could make this even better is slight shading around the arm pits and a little shading on her neck so it looks a little better. As for her legs, have to say they don't look too bad and seem to be honestly what legs would look like if they were pointing straight forward.

I am guessing she is wearing heels which is why you only see a bit of the black tips on her heels. The torso piece is cute I suppose. Then the choker with a bell is also nice, can kind of imagine if she has it on though that it would be hard to sneak around and defeat her foes. The bunny ears just make the torso and heels obvious state she is dressed as a Playboy Bunny making it interesting. If she is dressed as such, all that is missing is some fishnet pantyhose.

The red eyes make one feel a little cautious around her but I imagine she might feel alone at times if everyone feels they can't approach her for one reason or another. The spikes on the wings are cool and I am guessing the needle gloves are her weapons too. Slight smile on her face kind of makes one feel wary as if not knowing what she may do.

Overall, not too bad, add some shading and a background maybe. Good work.

Thank you! I can't use art programs well....
