I could go on and on about all of the mistakes I see being and art perfectionist. (I usually don't tell people everything I see wrong with their art because I may make them feel terrible. I already make myself feel bad. >.>) But I'll spare you, because I'm too lazy to mention what I see.

I really don't know if I'll get around to coloring this. It's Asli for DITD, but I can't think of what colors will go where. I know what I'm going to use are going to be dark grays and blacks with blood red. The only things that I do know colors of are her skin/makeup, hair, and eyes.

Anyway, I think I'll want the base of the dress to be dark grey, and all of the accent frills will be white or off white, but any opinions?

Oh, and she is not supposed to be that busty. >.> I didn't notice it until after I inked it, and was too lazy to fix it.

Yeah, I caught a few I saw. Either way, still looks nice.

I'm still trying to get my fingers on my hands to look like that x_X; hopefully when I make Serenity V2 it'll turn up better.

Even my hands are only decent. And I have a ton of difficulty getting them in more interesting poses, but they are usually one of the hardest things to draw for people, so I don't feel as bad about that.

What I do for my hands is to make them slightly pointed where the nail is. That way I can be lazy and show that they have nails at the same time. >.>

Also, try drawing the fingers with multiple lines, instead of tracing a single line for them. Otherwise they turn out strange.

That's what I do. If I can really describe this in words, I draw the formation of the palm first, then draw circles of the width of each finger where they ought to be (also substituted for knuckles on the fingers if drawing the backside of the hand). Then, for the fingers themselves, I do something similar to drawing arms and legs, the bubble-sketch. Basically, just ovals to make up the 3 parts.

Then, if all else fails, I'll do other things like draw stick-lines for the fingers, etc, or use horrizontal lines to judge the length of each section of the finger.

...if that makes any sence. I guess I could sketch it out real quick if you needed/wanted to see it.

Well, the thing is, fingers aren't quite the same to be done like limbs. They're formed and act differently, so you would use different methods to do them. That might be part of your problem.

Well it is slightly different, of course, I'm not drawing arm and legs on my hands, exactly >.>;

CLICK ME! YAY!

That's the tutorial I recently used. It seemed to work fairly well.

It's a good tutorial, but you have to think style wise as well. Those tutorials have a realistic look too them, but your style is much more cartoony. I think you would want to play off that tutorial to fit your style more.

An easter thing?

Okay, this might sound kind of odd/time consuming, but, why not draw chibies of our characters running around trying to find easter eggs, fighting over candy baskets, etc >.>;

I like that. I would do us, but I don't know what anyone looks like, except people on TI I can find and such.

Let's try thinking up more ideas, and then decide, in case another idea comes up.

LOL XD That'd be awesome, I say go for it =P If not, I'll draw it as soon as I'm done with Serenity V2 >.>;

If Avelyn tried to beat you up, just let me know: I'll erase her muscles and give her toothpicks for arms >.>;

Wait... a chicken suit? DARN YOU, JAGEX! My character already looks retarded, no way I'm getting a chicken suit. Jeeze... I'll take FFXI's festival Yukata any day x_X

Alright, what kind of bunny suit will it be?

And I say you draw the easter egg chibi hunt. >.> You could include some of everyones characters on the roleplays here, and not just ours. >.>

Lol, I might.

Anyways, instead of using just generic bunny suits (like those pajama ones), why not just adapt them in a way that they somewhat resemble the character's own clothing? You know, just give and take with the shapes, layers, etc, just as long as they have the ears and the tail (if it's visable from their standing possition). =P

Dunno. I think it would be a bit strange on Tana's end, with how her skirt is. >.>

I have the urge to incorporate Rynk somewhere in it, too. XD I don't think we abuse him enough. >.>

Well, he's just not the kind of person to abuse. He's too kind and serious about stuff to really feel bad about doing strange things. It also seems like he and Avelyn don't ever yell or argue with eachother really, and Rynk carries Tana's dagger around, obviously, so he wouldn't be laughing at her or anything.

I donno >.>;

Hey, Artemis is kind and shy, and I easily abused him. >.> We just have to start shoving him off cliffs and stuff. >.>

Anyway, maybe we could give them matching outfits? So I don't have to design something for each of them. >.> But what to make them wear.

.... Doesn't Cow hit on Avelyn? *Evil idea* >.>

He claims he doesn't, but after he said something about dreaming about a mithra, I definatly think he does >.>;

He "used" to like her, he said. That was before I showed him my drawing of her; I'm striving to make it better just so I can /poke him about it still XD
