your points are well met but again, in retrospect, you are right in the things you said, and the fact is that this is not the place for this, because this is a pixel art community and what i've posted is an anime drawing. as far as the anime itself is conerned, its not the direction i would have it taken, but its the direction that it needs to go because that is the direction that the project has been directed and that is out of my hands. You are right in your question, and the fact is that high cheek bones, narrow eyes, thin lips, and nearly snow-white skin are the only things about this particular illustration that make her northern european, and those arent much, but though it doesnt look like a real-life northern euorpean, it is clearly distinguishible from your edit, which by that same standard i suppose doesnt look like a real-life hispanic.
it is my personal opinion that the fact that a critique boils down to throw it out destroys the purpose of the critique, which in my mind is to provide constructive feedback in a way that pertains to the actual piece. to be frank, if you get through what you are saying and your only suggestion to improve the piece is to throw it out and start over, then you should not have made the suggestion under the pretense of assisting with the piece, you should simply have said to throw it out. call a spade a spade, not a critique.
that being said, i do have a great deal of respect for you, and i do not wish this disagreement to create a permanent rift, so i would say, if not because this picture is not pixel-art, then in the interest of condeming this disagreement as unproductive this should be locked. theres no reason for two people to continue feeling indignant over a drawing that doesnt warrant further discussion in any event, i wont be posting in this thread anymore.
@ryumaru, no, you are right, it isnt pixelart. i have photoshop and i could use it if i wanted, but i didnt. but you are right in that this isnt pixel art, which is why this ought to be destroyed
