That's just so gorgeous! Just amazing. I'm wowed by this one.

I spent a few hours working on this, a new signature box thing for my signature... but it looks really bad. Ugh. I kinda like the idea of the stamps, but it turned out really bad... Any suggestions? I'm tired of the old one. XD



Used this base for the stamps

@Neelix, I like the whole stamp idea and I don't think it looks bad. As you said that you may want to use them for your signature, maybe the way it's presented in your signature may help you like it. For example, instead of having them all in a straight line and centred, you could possibly line them up vertically to the left or right and then put various things next to them. What ever floats your boat ^-^.

@MoralChaos, I love all the colours you managed to get into it. My favourite part would have to be the glow to it X3

I was working on this piece yesterday, a little experimenting here and there, but I'm happy with the result. Anyways, any thoughts are naturally welcomed x3

@Koiyote - I've got to say that the left hind leg is at a completely awkward position and doesn't show enough stress to have it turned in such a way to propel the canine. Parts of the body are facing the viewer when they should be more angled. I see this in the ears which look the same size and almost as if they were drawn before the facial direction was added, the same is true with the chest. Fore-legs pointing the character's action one way while the chest looks like its heading towards the viewer. Finally I'd say use the tail to add a bit of depth. At the angle its at now, it almost appears broken and is far from streamline with a body that would be in action.

Okay, I'm trying to fix that hind leg now. I fixed the ears some...but it's not like they're a mile away from each other. The farthest won't be that incredibly small.

As for the legs and chest, the pose is completely possible. I used some reference in that area from my book on dogs. The chest is going down the middle of the dog, it doesn't start on the very outside. That's just the fluff the dog has, it's a border collie mix. As for the tail, the whole body is bending at a somewhat awkward angle. Pole weaving takes a lot of odd angles. They move their bodies in a snake-like motion, so the tail would still be back where the body was. That was also in my photo ref. I do know, though, that the tail is sort of long. That's intentional.

Here's a bit fixed up version:

Snow- Amg I love that! The style is lovely. <3
The colors are nice, and I really love the overall soft look you gave it.

Neelix- Win color combo there. Blue and orange = my favorite set of complementary colors. I think it looks really good, actually! :D

@MoralChaos- that dragon is amazing!

Just because its in a reference doesn't mean it will translate into a good drawing. If you want to get critique you can't just shoot most of it down when someones trying to help.
Gonna give you a redline instead of typing it all up.

Hey! I new to CS but i love drawing. I'm pretty good with pencil and paper, but have been experimenting with a Wacom Bamboo tablet. I hope to post soon, and wanna say that all the drawings i've seen on this site are amazing.

The redline looks very alike, though? All I can see is the ears being toned down, the muzzle getting thicker, and the body looking overall more round.
I see the edits in the shoulder, but something about the chest looks off now. It looks too rounded, as if her body is a circle instead of an oval. I think one of the things is now her body looks like ti isn't elevated enough. Because of the roundness of the body, she doesn't really seem to be pushing all that far from the ground. I think it may be the stomach not tucking up enough that's giving her a bloated look.
I do see the tail idea, though, that looks fine.

There's no point in asking for crit when every time a person gives you crit you shoot them down.
Just because you have a reference doesn't mean you have the best anatomy.
I think the redline looks much better and correct.

I think you're should was a bit too thin and flat. Maybe defining it more would help :p

I'm not trying to shoot them down, though. I take most critiques. Something about the redline looks off to me, and I don't want to fix something that doesn't look right. And also, I never said I had the best anatomy. I am saying that I trust a picture more than a redline, though.

I'm really not trying to be ungrateful or anything, just something isn't flowing.
