Reviews for A Duck!

Her again!

Jeez, she is just everywhere isn't she? I played through a whole game with her, and I think I've reviewed 3 drawings of her as well, lol.

This drawing is interesting, for a start. I too originally was wondering what the deal was with the perspective. I'm no artist, and this is way better than I could ever do, but I will say that the perspective here is quite confusing. It's easy to think that she's a giant because nothing really has depth to make you think the mountains are far away. I'm going to assume this is mostly due to the fact that the ground is a straight line for as far as we can really see...

I don't really have any complaints other than that. Your style is quite interesting. I like the zombie duck in the water, and the lillypad. Other than the perception issue, the background looks great, and the crazy purple sky was an interesting idea.

As for my comment earlier, I don't mind seeing this character more either. I kinda like her actually, and the crazy places you draw her.

Oh, and thanks for uploading a HUGE illustration! lol. Keep up the great work.

She is? I've just submitted another drawing of her, and you didn't review it. Maybe it was fanart? i'd love to see it if it was!

Those are small rocks and they look very close to her because they are!
I think what makes it confusing are the trees, they should look to be more far away.

Glad you like her.

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR REVIEW!!

Dolly's Back!

I had never expected to see more "Dolly Legs" artwork from you. Really; you ought to do more. C:

The reason why I gave you a 9/10 for this art submission was entirely because of Dolly's nose. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that her nose's outline is slightly thinner than her nose's outline in the game itself. But that could be just me. :|

Also, and not to be offensive or anything, but why did you decide to include a duck in this? :P

I hope you make more "Dolly Legs" art submissions! :D

Merol responds:

Wow, I didn't even noticed it. I tried drawing her several times from the front, now it's easier drawing her this way than from the side. I put more attention on the hair and eyes than the nose. I think it looks nice, I mean, still looks like Dolly, doesn't she? But I guess you are right, I'll fix that when I draw her again.

The duck, she saw it on a pond and now she just wants to grab it, not the big deal.
It's something like a "scene".

GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!

A Kids' Book's Feel.

Like most meaningful art, I think I can find some meaning in this piece. It's certainly fun to look at, but it's also kind of perplexing. Is it a rubber duck floating by, or just a regular one? And, if that is the case, why is she trying to grab it? It reminds me of those cheap carnival games where you grab a duck and win a prize listed on the bottom of it.

There's a childish, kind of playful feel to this, but there's a very dark contrast. The grays and purples bring the tone of the piece out of the brighter zone, and into the more expressionistic, emotional, style. Bizarre, but definitely very original and thoughtful.

There's one point in this piece I don't understand-- the girl's size relative to the background. I'm not sure if it's the perspective of the piece, but she's either really huge, or those mountains are tiny. That's just how I see it, however, and it's one of very few flaws with the art.

I also want to note the pumpkin in the back. I don't know why it's there, but I inexplicably love it, so you gained an extra point for bringing that out in me! Overall, it's very pretty and I think you could write a short story based on this alone; there's a lot of interesting material.

THANKS A LOT!!
It's a real duck swimming by. And she tries to grab it because, I don't know, she's just curious!
She's not huge, but those are not mountains, just rocks. But yeah, I always screw it up when it's about perspective, those trees seem to be very close.

I already made a history with her, just a game, and it's not based on this, but still.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR REVIEW!

Merol responds:

Not really, maybe it's because you never saw her fom the front side before.
