I just noticed that I never posted the completed version of this; NOW IN TECHNICOLOUR as it were.

Incidently, those colours were done by Vyvyan's boyfriend Krae... funny how often things come back to that girl...

Looks like the cover art to your typical pop band album or something.

In other words, I'm not all that impressed.

Pop band cover ? o_O~ Well, whatever floats your boat but I don't see it myself.

I love it, but one could easily slap a biased sticker on me forehead since it's a collaboration of one my best friends and my boyfriend. xD~

I get the feeling I'm working with a lesser intelligence here, so I'm going to explain the difference between the two�

'Kay, first we'll do insulting - which you seem to have a knack for. Wandering into a thread and telling me my art 'doesn't impress' you and 'looks like the cover art to your typical pop band album or something' is insulting, it's just you flaming my artwork and not giving me a real reason for it.

So now I'll school you on 'constructive criticism', which is the one you're having trouble with; you see, as long as you're using this 'constructive criticism' it's okay to tell me that you don't like it! Care to guess why? No... I didn't think you'd get it - it's because you're giving me a good reason for why you don't like it.

Example of constructive criticism; 'No Rid, I can't say I'm that impressed - see the mermaid-thing's head is slightly squashed and her right arm is too thick and muscular...'

- What makes it constructive is that it helps me avoid these mistakes the next time.

Example of a total arsehole attempting to sound smart and interesting; 'Looks like the cover art to your typical pop band album or something. -- In other words, I'm not all that impressed. '

Want to try again, this time using the 'constructive' method? Eh? Asshat. _




What happened? I blacked out...

Save your overtly defensive rants for someone that deserves them, Ridcully.

Also, you were apparently confusing me with Loki, and for that I'll forgive you, what with the "Mr. Wise-Ass" stuff and all.

Check the file I've attached with a critique of your "art", it should explain most of my reasoning. You may have to open it with an image editor to zoom in and get a better view of the text I put in it.

Also, I had to use MS Paint, so forgive the sloppy arrows.

So most of what you've pointed out I've already noticed. I was hoping the decent colour job Krae gave it would make up for the bits I messed up.

The keys were there for a reason though - the idea was that she'd been stealing them in an attempt to find the one that'd unlock the skull's dark power.

Well... sorry that it didn't meet all of your expectations... I guess the thread title was a little presumptuous.

Here's a picture of a pope with a chainsaw by way of apology;



Does it reach any levels of awesomeness?

Pretty good man, im not one to strictly judge peoples work, unless they ask for it. And to me your work seems nice and solid.

Like I said before, it's half Krae's work. It's nothing without the colours.
