I really love those girls,especially the bookworm on the left side because she doesn't look like a typical nerd.
After reading some comments I think your hands are good.
They perfectly fit your special and unique style in my opinion.

Wow, this looks fantastic. The coloring and shading is beautiful. The overall sketch is amazing, too. I love how you draw/color your hair.

But, if your looking for ways to improve may I suggest working on the hands? They just look a little weird to me. They're all the same length and sort of short (in my opinion).

Other then that, though, your art is just...perfect. O_O

yeah i've noticed that about the hands... that is definitely something i need to work on... they are a bit stylized but that's a lame excuse, haha. i think i've gotten a little bit better at them since this drawing though.

thanks!

i mean elaborate on how i can improve... everyone has room for improvement, so it's kind of pointless to tell someone that without being specific.

I mean it generaly. A total level improvement.
Then find my comment pointless. So I dont need to bother with further ...

mutsy In reply to jumomo [2006-08-22 21:58:59 +0000 UTC]

because i remember who you are, and i do not like you. besides, i don't normally accept "general" critique from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about and probably can't take their own advice.

Oh my god, It's THEM! All of them, EVEN Kehli... Marie is the sexiest mouse in the world, her dark plum colored top is wrinkled so well especially on the eclipse of her tummy region. Those black pants wrap her waist so well, the texture of them black jeans make me want to wear them. The necklace goes good with her dark tones; it's like a cherry on top, compliments her attire so well. I love when you put them together, because I can finally see the size difference between Marie and Booyaka O_O! This mousey is TALL; Heighty mouse. *chuckle* Melanie is SO into that book, her expression tells us all that she is finding very insightful stuff in there, look at those eyes. It's a big "Oh I See!" or she could just be at a climatic chapter, where the main character is going through dramatic scenarios. I totally dig her hair as I normally would, and your style is crisping out so well, I can totally experience the depth between her forehead and bangs. Your cross stitching style of shading for darker areas is staggering like always, it adds an element of visual balance.. if that makes any sense. I shouldn't even get started with her zip-up sweater jacket, because it clearly looks like it should be in some fashion magazine, the color scheme of the folds in this sweater remind me of blueberry candy, it's tastey to the eye. Maaan, girls get all the cute clothes... It makes me a bit jealous on how cute they can be in them, now don't take that the wrong way, I'm not the type to dress up in girly clothes and look like a freak. But the way you construct their clothing makes me wish you designed men's clothes or something. Booyaka's short-sleeved hoodie is rather cool, the auburnish stain flows well with the off-white cotton; forming those reciprocal striped patterns on her shoulder-sleeves and chest. The black undershirt really boosts the baby blue otterpop color of her fur; I think you cleverly chose to do so because you knew it would contrast her color scheme out better. Since your comic is kind of colorless, it’s hard to imagine character wardrobe colors-schemes, and when you do illustrations like this, it's exciting to see your choices. Your line art is very pioneering; it's good to know your coloring skills are too. I love how you made booyaka glow with rich color, she really stands out, when people first see this picture, they automatically think that blue cat is running the show. lol, You planned out really good poses, I like booyaka's the most and Marie’s second, Melanie loses points for no eye contact! Ha-ha just kidding, I like the way she holds those books, she's strong! I wouldn't want to be in a headlock from her.. Kidding again, I'd love a headlock. I'm kind of ranting, but it's a good thing to do when I'm half awake, because I say silly stuff. Oh kehli, she's giving Booyaka quite a glare, I bet she's a good individual, she just looks like she's been through the rough. She looks a bit more mature, or is it just because she looks tall that I'm saying that? Pff whatever, All I know is her hair is really intricate, I like the way each strand melds together so smoothly, it's a nice hairstyle. Her pose mean's business... look at that game face, she could play in the NBA with that face.. and that height! hahaha. Even though this is kind of an introduction of Kehli, she fits really well into the group... like a sliver in my thumb. heh. I really find their tail arrangements amusing, and cute. You’re a color coordinating maniac. This is my new favorite right here.

Group pictures are so very difficult to do, so well done you for making this look so great! I really like how you showed the differences in height, very few people do that, and it adds a nice realistic touch to it :3
My favourite here is Melanie! I also love how their clothes look like regular, everyday clothes. It's rare to see someone stick to a more natural look, very nice work!

Everytime I see your work, it is always just full of life and a style that is so unique.
I love how each individual character has their own emotion and style, which you can see through their facial expressions and their colours.
The anatomy is once again well done, and also the clothing.
I especially love the crosshatching effect you use on your lineart, it really makes it pop out to the viewer.
