Lovely. Great use of color in expressing a soft emotion.

Why are your girls always so gorgeous? ;____; Teach me, sensei!

This is such a warm picture. Everything is so tranquil and both Ayumi and Harumi (hey, that rhymes) look very peaceful with one another. I love the background too - especially the fluffy, pink clouds. They go very well with the cherry blossoms.

Thanks! And yeah, when I paired them up in my first deviation, it didn't occur to me that their names rhymed until I typed up the title. xD

hooray for friends, love the blur and glow effect with the drifting cherry blossoms, the blushing on the faces is faint enough to set a mood but not scream the tone, and the light shadows and moon convey an excellent sense of time. Excellent work, however proportions and contours of the heads could be adjusted to be more esthetically appealing.

Thanks. I'm surprised that you even noticed the soft glow that I gave the petals.

well, when it said advanced critique, i like to go all out, and your piece was nice to go all out on. It has been a while since my last advanced critique, i hope it wasn't too sloppy.

The softness in your images gives them such a poster like quality which makes then look insanely professional. Not to mention that your art is so recognizable amongst the art of others. It's really something to admire.

Now for a question... does this hug lead to something more in the future?

TheEclipse In reply to GlacierFusion [2008-01-29 05:39:08 +0000 UTC]

I'd certainly like to hope so.

Awww, pretty. I like the colour scheme - it's very feminine (as you would hope in a picture of two girls lol)

TheEclipse In reply to elphin-art [2008-01-28 00:18:22 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I've kinda got a knack for feminine pictures. x] Thanks, Katya!

TheEclipse In reply to zylair [2008-01-22 08:51:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And I hate to say it, but the only real advice I can give on backgrounds is to practice. I guess using real life as a reference to practice might help too.

Ori-chan7 [2008-01-20 21:25:26 +0000 UTC]

aww, girl love! and platonic too, yay! about the one with the purple hair--i dunno if it's the shape of her head or her hair style, but she looks very wide in the face, too wide to be natural. Other than that, very well done! You've improved so much since we first started exchanging comments. (and by the way, if you REALLY want to comment on something of mine, feel free to read whats in my gallery. i need feedback on my book!)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheEclipse In reply to Ori-chan7 [2008-01-22 08:49:47 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And yeah, that's probably it. I remember exaggerating her hair to make it look like it's being affected by her friend's head, but when I inked it ink I must've forgot to draw the hair properly. I don't normally draw in all the details until I ink.

And while I can't guarantee my critique will be very useful, I'll definitely give it a go since you took the time for me.

Hmm that's a good one!
We want more Harumi xD
Hehe you did it well, specially harumi and the background... but as in the comment below I'd like to file a complaint on ayumi's unidentified head disorder

something about ayumi's head seems kinda weird, but I can't place what it is.

oh well.

I guess she has a naturally oddly-shaped head.
