Hey the names Jamie. I'ma dog neko :p as you can guess dogs are my life. I'm used in loads of different roleplays. Even Homestuck! As you might all ready know, I'm the DevilsPrince :3 I personally don't think I'm very good at roleplaying myself but if we roleplay homestuck I would have to be Jamie or Gamzee ;o)

This isn't bad. Not at all. You got proportions down and kudos on the full body! However, the abdominal muscles are a bit odd. I know what you were trying to do, but it's better to define abs through shading than through full lines. I could send some tutorials and references your way if you want to? Or even a redline if you'd prefer that? I'm horrible at written critiques, but I can also attempt that if you prefer text over visuals.

I am extremely sorry for my longtime absence from CS. Due to health issues I had to set aside any online activities for a long time. I am currently doing better and slowly getting things back in order, piece by tiny piece. Thanks for your patience. <3

yes I was thinking of making the lines a lighter colour, because black lines seem to bold. yes the muscle are odd xD hopefully if I try again and make the lines less bolder it should look more okay. doing the hair is another challenge all together xD hopefully when I get this right I can do the hair right also haha. well I added you to do redline if ya want. :3

edit** also hands are gonna be a pain too

yeah muscles are odd like what Draca said do shading than full lines (or in my opinion make them lighter, like a light brown) and Im sure shading will make it look much better and re-doing the muscles a slight bit too

psh! I always draw my men with thick necks xD it's smexy. to me anyway hehe
