Smile Ritualist fanart (2 versions)

Laliho!

This is the ritualist I drew a while ago (I was bored in Spanish class--har har). Pen and ink on paper. There are two versions, one has shadows and stuff, the other one is pure lineart. Hoping for some constructive feedback!

Absolutely beautiful! Not only is your detail exquisite, but your overal sense of proportion and motion is excellent! I prefer the first version to the second, as the more subdued variation in the shading coupled with the gradual darkening roots the image in place and really controls the viewer's eye well. The variation in your linework is so well done also! The weights seem perfectly in place so that no detail is left out, yet none of them fight with one another.

Mmm This is easily desktop worthy, even if it would just float in the middle of the screen due to the difference in aspect ratio.

I simply love this!

PEN AND INK FOR THE WIN! Ahem, yeah, pen and ink all the way. Ohoho (I usually touch the pictures up in photoshop >.>).

And who is "the man"? If you're referring to me, I'm a girl. XD

wow, these are great. i like the first one because of the "background' shade you added, it gives the drawing more life, and I really think it captures the "ritualist feel"
btw: spanish class is boring, and I cant stop myself from doodling when Im bored

Reminds me of Shunpei, which is like... cool.

I think I better jump on the serious bandwagon before I get overwhelmed by all these additional comics that keep appearing!

As for constructive criticism. . . Err, I don't do DeviantArt on GW!

Yes! A cookie! -chomps-

Who's Yoshitaka Amano? XD I'm really not familiar with Japanese artists. Yeah, Spanish class is really boring and I just happen to sit in the back, so I'm either sleeping, drawing, or doing AP homework. XD

Knew it and knew it.

The man is a general term sorry, but you definitly have a femme touch to your drawing.

Just to push your ability, i would love to see you draw an action shot with expression.

For example someone getting struck by holy strike, at the moment of impact what does it look like? Don't use that percific example. Just the idea of capturing the moent...

You seem to be very good at catching the 'pose' im just giving you a challenge if you want to take the idea on...

None the less i look foward to your next drawing
