Anatomical

An artists best weapon is references others do not have access to.

I thought an artists best weapon was his own imagination?

on topic:  hmm its ok, the background seems weird to me.  Helms edit is probably the most help to you in this topic.  I agree to the comment about the knees looking like tentacles.

Is this your first piece with C64 pallette/limits?

I'll change the AA. Panda, I'll try to take some of that into consideration.

Helm, you've pretty much discouraged me from even wanting to finish the image, but your edit is virtually useless to me. I'm not dithering it, the stockings and thong are going to be white, and I prefer the red tone skin as opposed to the brown.

The bulge in the supposed to be there.

No Feron, it's not my first, if your going to say I didn't follow the rules, reread my first post.

The background doesn't mean anything, it just a layout thing I do for c64, so you know where the 8x8 tiles are. Once I finish everything that I want, I'll post it, if I ever get around to doing it again.

Larwick @ posted right after me, odd, but if you read this, I say in the second post that I know thats its a problem and I need to fix it.

It looks to me like the lump you added when making it white was unecissary, seeing as i believe most of that space was shadow...

I agree my edit isn't very useful to you since you don't intend to dither the image, but then how is it discouraging that I did a different take than you plan to do?

I'd say that would be the correct way to look at it if we were all competing here. You don't need weapons against anyone here then, as we're not competing, this is a critique forum, and not the commercial arena. If you've used reference, we'd like to see it, yes, up-front, nobody having to play detective on you. If you feel you're 'giving away your secrets' by posting said reference, then you probably shouldn't be posting for critique.

nonsense

I wasn;t going to say that, just making light conversation / taking an interest into your work 

[Helm]

nonsense

YOU'RE nonsense. 

Edit: this is how I prefer to view this post by the way:

[Takai Soyokaze]

Thanks Feron, it is appreciated.

Helm, your a moderator right? I think you just broke one of your own rules, posting without new critques, and flaming... close my thread please if you and hawken are just going to battle.

[Helm]

Nobody's flaming anyone, it's just a joke, relax.

[Takai Soyokaze]

Well, it's a joke at the expense of my thread then, lock it please, I'm done with this image.
