-> For each of the first 10 people to comment to this journal, I will feature one of their characters. I'll also tell you what I like about them.

-> If you comment, please do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on in the first slot. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

White Hall-
I love this picture because of its beautiful ambiance. The character is greatly drawn with awesome detail and excellent proportions in the body of the fox. The colors are beautiful and flow together very well with enough contrast so that the character still stands out and is the center of attention.

::UTAU - Kioshi x Michiru - Attracted Magnets::-
This is my favorite picture from RxKQueen. I do like the tension the picture gives off with its contrasting colors. That probably is the strongest feature of this picture is its coloring, as well as the background. I do feel that the body shaping of the two characters could have been a little better. The hands seem a little weird and the placement of where the arms are attached to the shoulders looks out of place. Simple mistakes that could easily be fixed, but other than that a nice picture.

It's a me, MGZE (Rinkashi Aritsuko)-
I like the style of this drawing. There's a few nitpicks on it that I see but they're not much. The emotion of distress in the face is nice, and is conveyed very well, and the shading is ok. I feel that the colors should of been a little darker to help convey the seriousness a little better, but other than that it's fine.

Fudo twins-
This I think was one of the better pictures from BenorianHardback's gallery. Though to be very honest the art work could use some improvement. For this piece, everything in the body structures is ok with the exception of the leg length. The legs are just way too long. And I think that the coloring could of had more time spent with it. I can understand the tedium and how hard it is to color with colored pencils, but I think that a few more hours of hard dedication and really filling in the colors with different tints and shades of value for each color would help improve this a lot.

Ephanial Talo 'Sin-
I really like the attention to detail on this picture. The 360 degree turn with the details all close to precise is cool. Though the coloring while sort of bland is nice enough, and the body structure seems accurate, though there are some areas that I notice that seem a little off, like helmet design and the placement of his waist. With a few slight adjustments and maybe some shading, this could be a really good picture.

6)  Deitz94

Real boy and Real girl-
While the hand shaping could use some improvement, this is probably one of the better looking pictures in Deitz's gallery. I like the coloring, though I think a little more shading would have been nice. It's only a trace so I can't really say too much else, it's alright.

7)  3971450
I'm sorry but to be perfectly honest, I really didn't find any of the pictures in 3971450's all that good. Some major improvement really needs to be done with his work.

8)  scott910

Steve The Trooper Fan Art-
This one I like mostly because of how amusing it looks. Scott910 appears to only do sprite work, which is fine, though some improvement would still be necessary. With this picture, the head seems a little too big and the arms too long. Body shaping is probably what Scott needs to work on the most. I do like how he attempted to include some value and shadow, but a little more would be nice, as well as trying to properly place the shadows in more realistic lighting spots on the Pikmin's body. It seems weird that there's shadow on the front of the legs, but then shadow on the back of its head, it's rather in consistent.

MBR 3: Cloudy VS Kunzo PREVIEW-
Not a drawing, but an animation, so something more in my element. lol. Even though it was only a preview, I did enjoy what was made so far. Nice pacing, nice blur effects, the sounds were appropriate enough. I will say that the moving foreground kind of bothers me a bit. I don't know if it should either be slowed down with the blur effect removed or sped up, I can't really tell but I know one of those two things should definitively happen. Over all though I found it to be nice and cleverly paced. Great start.

10) Still need one more.
