Reviews for "OceanBird"
Very Cartoonish
It seems like this character and your other characters could be in a cartoon.
Good Idea is to make a studio or work along the lines of this because your artistic still is not dark and mildrid like others but happy and new

This character is named OceanBird, she is from the cartoon "Dexter's Laboratory" ;) but she's not well known at all.
Thanks muchly!
Awesome front page Mandie!
You could totally get an animation job at places like Renegade Studio's.
I mean, I know thats not your primary career choice but all the same, you can always apply part time.
The fact that you got front page is proof of your artistic talent.
Imagine if your style of art was animated! Now that would be cool.

HOLY CRAP I WAS FRONT PAGED?! I didn't even realize that!
...I need to learrn Flash first :D Thank you
Fun but played out.
your work reminds me alot of shag. it's a really fun style but it would be great to see you figure out a unique way to develop it because it is an extremely common aesthetic right now. heres a link to his website incase you arent already familiar.

it might benefit you to explore using more eccentric color pallets and texture brushes. a solid place to look for color pallets is always the aurora borealis. just pick a random photo then sample colors till you like what you see.
where are you thinking about going with this style, out of curiosity? as they are they feel like newspaper or magazine illustrations. are they commercial at all? just for fun? just curious.
hope this helps. Keep workin!

I love critiques like this because they're unbiased but not rude. I haven't ever heard of Shag, but I try to pull a lot of my style from Shane Glines (ShaneGlines.net).
I checked out Shag and I really see the resemblance now that you mention it.
I do peruse ColourLovers.com for bright palettes often...I should save them to my computer in my refrences folder.
I just do art for fun but I do sell some of my artwork for charity. I want to develop my art style for fun and to sell little commissions here and there but I don't aspire to be a famous commercial artist right now. Thanks so much!
^^
Love your art style!
