Reviews for "Linda at the Beach"
No recognition?
Of what I've seen most people don't mention your game about Linda. Good thing the Art Portal came along so you have a better place for Linda and your other characters.
Linda's so cute
Aww, I just love her figure, Terdburgler! I know you already know this, but I just love all your artwork, mature or otherwise.
(This is usually the part where I offer constructive criticism, but like most of your other drawings, there's nothing to criticize)
^_^
i loove your aaart!
as i said, I REALLY LOVE YOUR AART! xD
Aha!
Now this picture I'm guessing came later than the little gray squirrel girl. I can see you've done a nice job with the line weights, and the background is subtle and lovely. Again, the hair looks great! :3
The only thing I noticed was that the arms seem slightly short (something I've had issues with in my art as well). What I've done for myself (being a woman, I used myself as a reference) was I made a sketch with lateral lines crossing the body at various points showing how areas of the body line up with one another. What I always make sure to check for is where the elbows, wrist, and very tip of the hands are. When standing up straight, the elbows fall an inch or so short of lining up with the bellybutton, the wrist lines up with the bottom of the torso (or the bottom of a bikini, if that helps) and the tips of the fingers are about 3-4 inches from the top of the knee.
What's funny is more than once I've had to go in Photoshop and resize the arms on a picture. XD
Anyhow, I suppose I forget the fact that she's not a human, and despite being anthropomorphic, she is still a fox, and they do have shorter forelegs. ;P
Besides, I actually didn't notice the arms at first, and it's actually not as much of a deal here as it is when I draw, but then I usually exaggerate proportions in people, so I screw arms and legs up a LOT. XP
But yeah....not trying to be an art nazi - just thought that well, this IS an art forum where people are allowed to exchange ideas and whatnot, and I know I appreciate constructive criticism (only because of the feedback I've gotten in the past have I been able to be mindful of these things when I draw).
Overall, though, she looks great. Lovely little figure on her. :3
TerdBurgler responds:
Actually, this came LONG before the gray squirrel girl. This particular piece, I drew by hand and obviously spent a lot more time on. The squirrel girl was drawn in an openCanvas session with friends and took just over an hour.
Linda has always had shorter arms and longer legs though. More than just being a fox, it was just her body-type (not everyone has the same length of arms).
