What?!! I can't believe I wasn't watching you!! Well I have remedied the situation now haha

Greetings   I am here from for the critique task


I would like to say that I love your character and all but... Lonoke is kinda awful.. he seems like a mean rather creep-ish womanizer and I'm not sure how well we would interact if we crossed paths.  I'm pretty sure that it was your goal to create a creepy villain though and you succeeded because he's kinda disturbing, but I find it enjoyable to dislike him. Which is a great quality a villain can have.  


Your art on the other hand is really skillfully drawn (also I like praise digital artists because it looks really really hard and every time that I have tried it I have failed miserably and sobbed on the floor in defeat).  



One thing that I noticed in some of your drawings especially involving Lonoke with his muscle-ly-ness were a few minor things about your characters anatomy/poses, they tend to look a little stiff. Here are a few tips that I use to solve this problem   

(it really just takes learning the basics and keeping up with drawing and practicing it). 



Another thing that I thought I would share with you is a few tips for drawing muscles, of course it takes years of practice to memorize and perfect drawing all of the human bodies different parts, bone structures, and muscles but here are just a few small things. Something that I do when drawing muscular characters is to just draw them normally (without super buff-ness) but then add muscles over top of the simple anatomy, this way I have the basic anatomy down sketched out and I can just add mass on top

(that might sound a bit confusing sorry). 


Also abs I've noticed tend to not be super defined with each individual ab shining in the light, just the implication of them looks more realistic (this is true with pretty much all of the muscles too except some of them are a lot more defined than others like the deltoids). 



You have a great sense of humor and I love seeing it in your art ! the Lonoke In Private task was especially funny :3 

Hello~ I'm here for the OC-training critique 
I had fun getting to know Lonoke He's a wonderfully devious man in a post-apocalyptic world. He has his not-so-nice traits, but it doesn't deter the reader from liking his character. (From my experience, there's villains you can like and then there's villains you wouldn't touch with a 39.5 foot pole.) Your work is also very thorough. (I agree with you; I need to work on backgrounds more ) 

I suppose my only notes are... 
Sometimes, your perspective is a little off Not horrible, but something to work on. 
I also think your characters tend to look kinda stiff so maybe soften up on the line work a little. Especially when you're doing muscles. When you draw them on Lonoke, it kinda looked like your drew the muscular system and just colored it like skin. I understand that he's pretty muscular, but his muscles shouldn't look THAT defined. Maybe do some research on various muscle builds Unless his muscles are BULGING or he's flexing all the time, then his figure should look a little softer. 

But overall, it's still great work  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! though it's late now
GUESS WHAT!  I've got presents for you!

I think Arianna is so awesome and she might be my spirit animal. XD (loves driving, and puppies, and playing cards..!) A badass cutie! From the little bit I've looked into her, I love her! 
the Adam sketches I started drawing for your birthday, last year...   I may finish them someday! X'D

You have so many awesome characters (and SO many stories!!); all rich and delightful in their own ways and exciting and tragic ahhh.  It is inspiring!  Keep on writing, my friend!
Hope you had a fabulous day, and will have a great year to come!
