Description Critique Please!!! Comments appreciated~ don’t fave and run! I want to know why you fave!


This started as an electricity element based cat, but it transformed into Dovesplash. I realized it’s been AGES since I last drew her, and I wanted to play off the “splash” in her name. I edited her design by adding more stripes ^^ If any one told you drawing water was easy, THEY LIED. I re-drew it 5 times. No joke. Hopefully, the water doesn’t lower the quality of the picture. And somehow I feel like the sun should be larger…

My style has also been evolving, let me know if you prefer this style compared to the “old” one. Here I’ve given my cats more of a neck and I’ve been attempting a more 3D face. The legs are also longer and more-shapely.

thistlesis [2012-05-29 14:05:33 +0000 UTC]

I really like this! To me it looks like she's making the water move herself, like she's waterbending or something. But this is really cute, I love it!

OH.MY.GAWD. it's amazing.
This has to be one of your best pieces Splash!!! It's AMAZING!
Okay okay i'll critique it now:
DRUM ROLL PLEASE....

PROS:
*I love the sunset! It's so flowy and it fits just right into the backround!
*May I just say, the water looks amazing. It's so hard to get that watery affect ya' know? Perfect!
* Dovesplash looks so adroable, her face just has that look that she's having fun! I love the fur too y the wayy!

CONS:
*theres really nothing i'd say needs improvment, except i'm not really sure if she's jumping, or if she's staning on her backpaws, but i don't see the groud. So maybe work a bit on your cat anatom skills! Heres some good tutorials:[link] [link] [link] Otherwise everything is PERFECT!
Hope I helped you!<3
xoxo

Thanks <3
I kinda wanted her jumping, but it did look a bit awkward to me too, so I suppose I just got a bit lazy after painting all that water XD
I might go back and see how it looks if I put a bit of a creek bed down there.

I believe this piece looks beautiful, and I can see through your artist comment that you put effort into making this. I suggest making the ears a tad bit smaller, but it's your style, so have fun with it.

I'm going to try and put a bit of creek bed under her, so her pose looks more natural

>w< This is so cute!
Critique:
The water is BEAUTIFUL, and I love the BG. I think the only thing I'd suggest is the cat's anatomy. - Her face looks a little flat, and her legs look a bit awkward. But I loooove your coloring andall her little fluff.
I was really impressed with the little details too, especially the little splashes of water. - I love it because you wouldn't really notice if they weren't there, but just adding that little detail adds so much more depth to this picture.
Wonderful work, and I hope I didn't sound to mean! D:
