There is something vaguely masculine about the face that is kind of weirding me out when combined with the body
Also human-like feet on a mimiga but I guess that's more a stylistic preference maybe?

Yeah, it's a stylistic thing. Follows from my assumption that humanoid feet distribute weight better than cutesy furry footpaws. Looking back at it though, I still kind of buggered the feet. And the hands. Grah.

The face design is a preference of mine; I'd be happy to draw something more traditionally feminine though.

The hands and feet don't bother me but now that I look at it more the legs don't appear to quite line up with the torso properly

Awesome stuff dude.
I think it took a few seconds of getting used to, but I dig the style you have going on in terms of proportions.
Honestly I can't think of anything else to say; I probably should have waited for a good night's sleep before posting a critique but oh well I like it and you'll have some criticisms from me tomorrow.

Also nice to meet you.

I'm so, so, so, so sorry if this has already been posted. I've already looked through all 300 pages of this post and I really don't have the energy to do it again.


Is Balrog being sexually assaulted by Ballos or...

But seriously for a moment, a lot of these Japanese fan art pieces that feature 'the cast' make me laugh. Because Ballos is usually just there, chilling and not giving a shit.

But--- Ballos in here looks dead. He's not able to give a shit. :S

Thanks, Manwhore (I presume that's what your avatar is anyway), よろしくね. Round, stocky-ish little buggers are my thing. Here's to that critique also.

some kinda work in progress thing because yeah

aaargh, I was meant to say the same for your earlier contribution, but I seriously love your art style and your unique way of drawing mimiga. :heart:

Danke schön! :toroko2: I'm glad you like it, "unique" is one of the more satisfying compliments I get thrown at me every so often. Hoping someone has some more technical-critical input too, it's all good!

So... sleepy. Need... creepypasta.

I really do like your spritework. Have you considered joining our (nearly abandoned) Pixel Art Collab game? Winknodyeah

Ah, I appreciate it. And I don't know anything about it, but if you really think I can be put to any use for something like that, I'd be more than happy to try it out. :)

In case you haven't come across it in your lurking, the collab thread is here. I would have liked to have tried my hand at it, but I doubt that my pixel art skills would be able to contribute to the project in a constructive way.

Oh, and nice Balrog .gif, by the way. He looks so very chipper.

Thanks for the link! I hadn't seen it. Mainly because the parts of the forum I actually read into with depth were this one and the "Theories" section.

Thanks very much. :) He's adorable.

See, this is why art is more important than lifting. This is beautiful. I am curious as to why you have the adidas logo there though

This is the first piece of fanart I've posted on these forums.

It's Curly holding the life pot and wearing the silver locket.

@43501 I dig the shading and animation, not so much the feet. They would use a little perspective tweaking so they blend in with the rest of the sprite, you know?

@Woodenrat 10/10 would bang, a masterpiece. The Adidas logo really ties it together.

@carrotlord I like it! It's primitive, but in an aesthetically pleasing way. Has better form than a lot of my bodies D:
Next just slap some quick shading on there and you're good to go! Her hips are a little wide though.

Eee! I love it, it's adorable!

You know... You're the third person to comment about his feet, so they must be an issue. The thing is, as I explained to the others, I was referencing directly from his Cave Story + sprite, in terms of their shape/placement.

That said, they're not difficult to fix. If you have some time, could you do a redline for me to show me how to fix it? Because I am not sure how they should look.
