Hello everyone!
This is my first time posting here, I've been off CS for awhile and just came back and saw these guys. It seems like a fun community and I love the designs and art everyone is creating.
I've also been messing around with guest artist entries and i was wondering if anyone could help critique what I've done so far? Next I'm going to do something a bit more detailed, I think I'm relying on stripes and spots too much.


(second one is junkrat from overwatch lmao, he was supposed to be a joke but he grew on me)
Any advice would be really appreciated. I love making character designs and I'd appreciate any opportunity to improve!
I'm also looking to do a few USD commissions for about $5 each to try to raise money for a myo, shoot me a pm if that's something you'd be interested in. ^^
(oh and could some possibley send me the code to the discord server if it's not too much trouble? thank you!)

@sapphirelion: 1. When I'm stuck I usually try to think of what kind of situations they would get into and write quick little stories about what would happen. For me it's easier to flesh out a character if I can figure out how they'd react to different. I'd love to hear a bit more about being an artist- how did she get started and was it hard for her to get where she is?
If all else fails just keep throwing random things at the wall until something sticks and then use that.
2. Good luck getting a growth for her, she's very pretty. ^^
3. I like your nursery entries, they all look like they're related but they're still set apart from eachother.
For the regular entries, i think the third is the strongest. The first two are a bit too bright and clashing for my taste. I like that the third one still has some bright colors but the neutral background makes everything fit together more smoothly. Also I like the markings you're doing but i think it might be a nice change to do one with softer edges, like you're doing with some of the nursery entries.
Overall I think you're doing great and it looks like you're improving with each one. I think you'll keep getting better and better as you get more confident with them.
@๔คเรץ❀ฬђเรкєгร: Aww she's precious, her colors are perfect for summer! I just put in a form for her.
And congrats on becoming a GA! I can't wait to see what you design next
@Jolteon,: Aww Elliot is adorable! He makes me wish it could be christmas time already, haha. Good luck finding a mate for him,
they'll have such adorable little cookie children.
@eli ayase: Minnow is adorable, if i had anything to trade for her I would definitely put in an offer. Good luck!
@Riceboy: I hope he finds a good home, he's adorable. He kind of reminds me of a cactus
