2D > 3D girls. Mhm. Really nice work on the line-work, shading and coloration. Pretty pro.

Pretty swaaag. uWu. From flat to Thicc.

[Beetle Mania]

OK. THIS is SOLID. There is obviously room for improvement, but I can't overlook the awesome line-work and attention to shading. There is a lot of charm in the 'highschool coloring scheme' too. IDK what you term this style of shading. Lol. Pardon the expression. Also, I'm glad you got back into drawing stuff again! You shoulda told me earlier you whore =p

I draw to relief stress, usually, or if I got some stupid idea floating in my mind. I'm hoping to do some more of it once I get everything set up in my new home, but I'll also need to find myself a new job, and that will eat up free time like my job here did.

I know almost nothing about proper shading. I just color it to make it look okay-ish and I know almost nothing about properly coloring something, as well. A lazy amateur who likes to doodle.

I was really surprised by this particular one. At no point did I think it would turn out this well. I just wish I had found one of my rulers to straighten those lines for the character select screen background I gave it. After doing a lot of packing for the move, I found five rulers in various boxes, including the metal one I thought I lost over a decade ago. Oh well.

Thanks again, Alex, for the strong encouragement. I'm half tempted to pull my pencils out of... well, whichever box I put them in, and draw something right now. It just seems like a bad idea to be taking things back out when I haven't made the move yet. That and I don't know what to draw.

Also fairly good. Cool poses too.

[Cat Quest 2 Doodle]

For sketches these are pretty baller. I kinda like em better when they aren't colored in. Maybe a nice paint-fill/scan thingy would make em cooler? Dunno. I don't wanna come off as a nepotist and give this a 5/5, but it's damn close, in my books, to being real good. The two cat characters, example, are REALLY nicely shaded in their faces. The rest is alright. I agree with Funky, the simple-ism is a breath of fresh air.

Phronemophobia responds:

I have no clue what a paint-fill/scan thingy is. Is that basically scanning it and coloring it in with MS Paint?

It's only one cat and one pointy-eared dog. The second Cat Quest promised there would be dogs if the first game sold well enough and they certainly delivered on that promise. Now, a third game has been teased, so I'm kinda eager for that.

It was only meant to be the two in the middle. I never planned for the rest of that, but I hate having empty space and just started trying to fit more into it. I could have just as easily drawn some other, non-related doodles around them or moved on to another sheet of paper. I have plenty. I don't know. My brain don't always think so good, ya know?

Thank you very much for the honest, supportive words, Alex.

[Smilin' St Nick]

Pretty cool. I like the sunglasses and teeth lmao.

Phronemophobia responds:

Yep yep! Nick takes great pride in having the cleanest teeth among his peers at the stable.

[Offline Ghoul]

Bad ass. Love the stylistic choices and the gradient red and black.

[Paya]

Not familiar with the character but great posture, expression, line-work, shading. Only gripe is it isn't lewd enough >: 3

[Shinobu]

Are those ghostly hands? The red makes them kinda spooky. Love the classic anime meets modern shading techniques. Very gosu.

So uh...I hope those suckers don't hurt on sensitive areas. >.<
Real good work.
