Artist's Comments

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA oh dear lord.
/drops dead

Anyway. This is for :iconaquafeles:'s contest. I decided to do the fool card in the end (no Erin, not you) because I wanted to draw something cheerful. God. Why. I don't even know. The colors killed me even though they suck. I will never, EVER be able to understand the people who can do all this fancy shading stuff cuz I just fail at it. DANG YOU SKILLED BEINGS D:

And whoever invented perspective is now responsible for the loss of my sanity. SRSLY GUYS THAT ISLAND WITH THE STRIPES IS JUST FUNKY. And don't look at the tree plz it's retarded.

Any comments or crit at all is welcome. I hope we're allowed to edit this before the deadline because I really need help :(

I also think I have a fetish for scarves or something, I'm always drawing them ._.

Edit: hokay I tweaked the island on the lower right a bit. Does it look any better? ;_;

THE PERSPECTIVE IS SOO GOOD O____O i admire your sense of... spacial composition!? XD i dont make sense but this is amazing * 0 *
g'luck~~ :heart:
:iconplasma-fusion:
it's not that bad

granted the perspective sucks, and his legs are too skinny, does he have a crotch there?, and the tree definately looks like a deform octapus

but...

it's a great pic, the colours are great, the detail is fantastic the background works well and those eyes are perfect

all in all not a winner but, a fantastic piece of art

don't change it, it's fine the way it is :hug:

I can tell you put a lot of effort into this, and I personally think you did the perspective pretty well. :heart: I also like the coloring, it gives the piece a very unique look to it. :>
:iconwhipsmartmccoy:
I like it. He's such a cutie. :heart:

The perspective is a little off, most notably on the floating islands. I don't think you need to worry too much about the character's proportions, though; any little inaccuracies can be chalked up to stylistic choice. ;) The only other thing that's bothering me is his shadow. It just seems...off.

Nice entry overall. Good luck in the competition. :)
:iconm-lin:
Thanks for the crit ^^ Unfortunately it's kind of hard to change the perspective now since I'd merged the lineart with the colors :( but I'll try fixing the shadow a bit.
