First of all congrats on making a prototype :3
Now for the criticism..

I would like to say before posting any image pls clean the art first by this I mean removing smudges and your erasures on the drawing also toning it darker it will look nicer I guarantee you that if you follow what I said :)..
Now for the armor
I think it needs alot of improvement its not looking like its going with AQW style
need more on aqwness and I think the horns or spikes on the knee armor on the shadow side are too curvey also the buddy looks to wide and the arms looks too thin. As I said before needs improvement alot <.<

Side Note: Lol we are like the opposite x3
my drawingss looks better on the computer than on real life xD

Wow, very harsh, maybe you could word things less brutally then that next time ._.

And also, it was Charon's first time, taking it he started from real life drawings, he doesn't perfect in that angle that Aqw do... also, true the arms are a bit thin, but that can easily be fixed.. now his hands are just that too big, unless he is abnormal, then thats just fine.. I agree maybe a bit darker outline would make it just that much better, I reckon his body is just fine, maybe the littlest bit thicker.. although, for a first time, you make my first attempt at an aqw armour look like a 3 year olds xD

by Xieg Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:23 pm

Was it really brutal?
I didn't mean to make it that way T-T
I'm only speaking of what I think was wrong and should be applied onto the art <.<
if it was brutal sorry for my harsh words then v.v
Still I guarantee it would look better if he would follow what I suggested :D

by **Charon** Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:36 pm

Oh no dont worry about Xieg, I just died a little on the inside.

Haha yeah, using Xiegs Template didnt really work out for me. About th spikes being too curvey, thas how the armor actually looks. The cleanliness of it didn't matter to me on this one, because all I wanted was to see how good I was starting out and to just give you guys an idea of what it'd look like.

Otherwise everything you said was spot-on, I know its mediocre, but the next one should be far improved.

by Xieg Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:57 pm

Did It hurt bad Charon? >:D
lol I told you I give this kind of criticism from the start didn't I Charon?
and it doesn't seem to harsh for me its all relatively true I just said what I think was right :s..

well I hope it'll be a nice improvement hope to see it soon :3

by **Charon** Mon Jul 06, 2009 5:29 pm

Lol I was kiddin you'd have to try really hard to hurt my feelings.

Yeah I hope I improve too.
That Sugar Rush was supposed to look amazing...Dx

by Kaotic Mon Jul 06, 2009 5:34 pm

I reckon it was for a first, It wasn't really 'brutal'.. but all you could do next time is maybe rephrase a bit of the words..

but I want them to know exact what I mean so it will be clear to them what needs to be improved and rephrasing it might lead to what I intended not being known correctly still I'll try :3

Xieg, you can give me criticism like that because I can take it, but you could try to sound a little nicer for anyone else.

by Xieg Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:27 pm

I don't get how my criticism sounded mean I just pointed out that you need to make a drawing clean also that the drawing needed alot of improvement cause I know you could draw better than this..

by **Charon** Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:29 pm

Yeah, but even though I agree with you on those things, saying that it needs 'a lot of improvement' could hurt someones feelings or make someone angry.

by **Aeonarial** Tue Jul 07, 2009 12:04 am

Arrrr, beast edible armor.....yum, good job charon especially for a first time.

by Xieg Tue Jul 07, 2009 12:13 am

@Charon
Well I only said it because I knew you could draw better and that's what I was hoping when I said it needed "alot of improvement" I seen your gallery so I know you could meet or even exceed my expectations:3

by **Aeonarial** Tue Jul 07, 2009 12:18 am

Ok, stop talking about the criticism.

by **Charon** Tue Jul 07, 2009 12:35 am

K Xieg, like I said, you can say that stuff to me, I don't mind.
Done talking about it.

by Xieg Tue Jul 07, 2009 12:45 am

Nah people wants me to be nicer so I will :3

A Warrior, Chibi style!

by **Winnie** Sun Jul 12, 2009 5:13 am

if you x's the eyes, it'd look like Cysero.

by Xieg Sun Jul 12, 2009 5:19 am

Nice drawing
The only thing I can say about it is that the open hand doesn't look right for a chibi :/
still nice overall :D

@Kao
"Fin" is french for "end" so you didn't have to edit my post cause I already ended it before you even edited it. :3

I can only do a decent hand-drawn image about once every two years. My proof? These two images (of the same person, a character in a story I'm writing) were drawn about two years apart. I apologize, but both of them are too big to fit in this frame.

Two years ago--she's fighting a hurricane. Notice the lovely pink haze around her hands; this is to indicate that she is doing magic... and because I'm terrible at hands.

This is a portrait view of the same character halfway between human shape and cat shape. I was feeling very daring at the time, as you will notice that she actually has hands. Her left hand looks a lot better than her right; I'm not exactly sure why, but I suspect it has to do with the fact that she's left-handed.

Sorry about the blue lines through both pictures. I did these both during school, and the only paper I had on hand was... notebook paper with blue lines on it.

by **Charon** Sun Jul 12, 2009 6:53 am

@Xieg~ Why do you think the hand looks out of place?

@Juliana~ Yeah, alot of my drawings are on notebook paper, because inspiration can hit you anytime and anywhere.

by Xieg Sun Jul 12, 2009 7:37 am

@Charon
Its not chibi-like :/..

@Juliana
what charon said about inspiration hitting you anytime and anywhere is right :)
I know for a fact cause a inspiration hit meh and look at what it brought meh :D (Check my gallery to find out :3)
also I always draw at the back of my notebooks so its natural for me xD

by **Charon** Sun Jul 12, 2009 8:21 am

Xieg, chibis can either have nubs for hands, or just chibi hands. Don't discriminate on chibis. >.> lol

by Xieg Sun Jul 12, 2009 8:24 am

D: that's not what I mean..

you need to fix more you chibi hand <.<
I know what a chibi hand looks like..(in all forms*) :3
