I know the picture is not supposed to look pretty, but since the original is not exactly like that, you could use some tips to make the image look good while still not making it attractive.

 While the eyes do look kinda like that, just doing two elipses can be a bit boring, but the thing with eyes is that they don't necessarily have to be a perfect shape, with symmetrical eyelids to look ok. (good news!)

In the book I read there are examples of how to draw the eye more accurately. Look at the eye that is marked in the example, the one with the words "curve, straight, curve, straight" you can try to follow that to give the eye basically the same shape you did before but making it look a bit more realistic and see if it looks better that way.

Spoiler

Eyes can be really expressive, defining of the figure, and are really fun to do as well. You can really try hundreds of types of eyes all different from the others.

I drew some quick curves to show how it could be done here, but not necessarily the only way, just one.

 Even if the point in the picture is to not make it look beautiful, the picture can still be more interesting by using more detailed, complex or different kind eyes.
 Although looking at the photo you posted:

Spoiler

 The eyes, are, actually, supposed to look much more femenine and pretty than what was attempted, so you can give yourself more credit by working on them a bit more.
Spoiler
(excuse the sloppyness and doing it in a used paper but I didn't have much paper)

I only have your eyes as reference, and while the overall face could look uglier in theory, the part of the eyes should actually be pretty to be more faithful to the original imo given the actual shape and femenine look of the area of the eyes, the eye shape and eyelashes.
 I don't know about the rest, but even with big lips you can make a pretty good attempt at making the face look more complex by working on it more patiently.

Spoiler
(Not perfect but a good try is a good try haha)

It may not be perfect but trying will give you a more general grasp of how to do it and it will be much more fun, I think, than just drawing it blindly. You don't even have to follow the examples exactly, in fact, you can and should try several different types and styles of eyes, bigger, narrower, thicker, smaller, thinner, different pupils, darker eyes, lighter eyes, more defined, less defined, also eyebrows, every single thing you make changes the entire picture completely and changing stuff with complete liberty is not only fun, it actually improves a lot your way of perceiving everything in the head structure.
 Look at the head and try to locate where everything goes, how distant one thing is from another, and then...... just go crazy and try your own stuff. At least its more interesting than just drawing two simple eyes.

(btw, sorry about posting my own examples, I don't like doing that, but I don't have a fancy tablet to work with or anything, so I used one from google and the rest I did them on pencil to illustrate my point.)

Oh and another tip, try to make smoother and longer lines instead, those look better in some areas, its going to be difficult though so I wish you good luck with that, otherwise nice pictures. XD

Yes, it's a gorilla    ._.

Lego:

Spoiler
1. Yep that's her. She is supposed to resemble slightly a known person of both the catholic and muslim religion, also called Myriam, as her ancient Hebrew name, you may know her as "Mary"

4. Yes.... but the advice about giving explanations beforehand will actually be useful. I'll apply that when these sort of things happens to attempt to not diminish the flow of the story.

Thanks for the thoughts on the chapter, its nice to see that you add that touch of how you see things while you read. I'll take it into account.

Lorenx:

Well I haven't really revised chapter 1, no, sorry about that. So its the same one as before. I understood what you meant the first time but when I have the time and get to revising it I will take this advice into consideration.

Thanks for the review guys!

Thanks guys!

And Echo, here is Nigcht too:

Spoiler



Character Nigcht from Echo's "Charred Life"
 Her smile is supposed to be somewhat scary (even if its an honest smile) so I did it like that.

1. ahhh, yeah making it purposely bad has also a bit of difficult, I'm never certain if it's bad enough. Hopefully I'll make even worse attempts in the future.
 Maybe with more.. Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I'm responding to this review  ._.      That one is more fitting for Gunther.

3. Thanks, I'm trying to improve in the artwork area so I can make the characters look good as well as be fun to read about. They seem easy to do as well, those people who wrote about them in the tournament did a pretty good job of depicting them. I think they could even write entire scenes or chapters with them.

4. Yandere is always an upgrade.

6. hahaha

Well, its not the final design but this was a joke I made when I was designing the character and someone said he did not like her nose:

Spoiler

Dat Yuri Tho, I wouldn't discard yandere either.  :D

7. Oh that's a good idea, I'll do that as well. Also, the Holy See is a synonym for the "Holy Church" of the story, whenever you see any of these:

Holy See, The Catholic Church, The Holy Church, The Papal States, The Vatican, The Ecclesiarchy, Apostolic See, The Catholic Episcopal See, The Vatican City, The Evil Empire...

All these, represent the Church in the story, there are 2 factions, the Church, and the Eastern Army fighting each other. Proctor and the rest of the crusaders all serve that Church.

And oh yes, banks are really old, especially thriving during that age, since the Knight Templar and Hospitaller Crusaders invented the Letter of Credit. It is actually said that the Templar Knights were the first bankers.
 (This is something I could add before the chapter as you say)

8. Well, he is a silver haired young wealthy noble bishounen handsome looking poet. X_X

You could cover 2 or 3 of those... but all of them? No wonder girls fall for him!

12. And other universes too apparently, since he is not doing that well in Xodara's world either haha nevertheless do take into account that after the battles and all, he is still alive and undefeated.

13. Yes, I'm slowly presenting their stories and developing as the chapters go on here. Glad you like the characters, this one had to stop the plot for a while, since its like some R&R for them but their campaign follows shortly.

Thanks for the review!

hahaha

This is great. And extra points for "YooToob"  :D

Nice, you seem to be steadily improving, trying new stuff and all.

I'm not sure what to add but perhaps you could considering reducing the thickness of the outline of the panels in the Steven Universe comics, and filling the with white too perhaps.. everything looks very ..eh dark ,and gray. (I don't really watch the cartoon but I think it's supposed to be more lighthearted right?)

I think the comic is a bit lighter, like the series
Spoiler
Looks less grim that way. It may be a personal taste thing, but you could give it a shot and see if it looks better. Thinner lines, more use of white and lighter colors, outlines of the panels less big.

My favourites in order:

1) Yellow

2) Green

3) Blue

4) Orange

5) Red

... well actually I'm not too sure. Red could go up a few places. Anyway, nice pictures Churro! They evocate the feelings they represent well.

12
Not my character. Character belongs to Echo River from her series of stories "Charred Life" and sidestories. My reprensentation of the character Phantom Kitty Bomber. Can't say much else about it so as to not reveal spoilers from the story.






Not the final designs either, she worked on them a while ago to make an improved version.

Thanks.  By all means, do kidnap. I'm sure Kawaii girl won't mind.  :ninja:

Spoiler

And I did not know you reviewed those chapters, thanks for telling me here haha. Next time PM me if you review further cause I really had no idea, thanks for the review, I'll read and reply later in that story thread.

Eh, I doubt that picture is either legally wrong or.... morally wrong. O_O

The colored picture is heavily altered and we are not talking about a millionaire company or a proffessional artist  claiming the rights of the character or anything.
 
My point is, if you call an artist, and ask for a comission of a picture of Naruto, for example.. will the entire company stop the entire operation, will the lawsuits begin to roll, will the SWAT come to your house?

 Or will they not even care? The answer is common sense really.

Same in this situation, this kind of stuff generally just gives major companies more publicity at best, never huge losses, cases of plagiarism are more complicated, take more time and imply actual losses to the company.

But here we are talking about Churro making a colored picture based on a character she liked and wanting to post it, perhaps earning a few bucks if somebody likes it.  ._.

So I think your criticism here is ehh.. somewhat off. While I understand where you are going (as a law student) I really doubt this is a "legal wrong" as you put it. And yes, the are cases of plagiarism that according to the US law and many other countries are of concern, but if the major company really wants to take the money from this (possibly the 38$ bucks Churro would earn, and after a long costly and harsh legal battle involving the payment of lawyers and the justice system), and if they are sure they can win. Then by all means they are entitled to legal action...
