I don't believe construction criticism was meant to include words like "pathetic" and "awful" as their own sentences.
it is when its that bad. and ive seen even worse criticism on other artwork on stuff that looks better than this. and if you plan on posting online with this.. you better expect it, rather than complain. ffs go learn textures already. you are welcome
its not that your pictures are bad, but its just remind me of most Filipino's rrl novel cover that I drop, whole lot of them.
Uhhh . . . well, I don't know how to shade, if that's the thing. I'm also bad with the crinkles in clothing and stuff.
Your art isn't all that bad, I'd say, but the best way to improve would be to work on your technical skills. Basically, rely less on digital editing and colouring. For clothing and textures, it is easier to take references from real objects, and note how the tones change.
I like your style... however I believe you should kinda improve the anatomy... not all of them tho let's see... both elves and wunder reaaaly have room to improve in anatomy tho Love your av by the way...
For the musket, I believe the Frizzen, or "battery", but be "L" shaped so that the flint scrapes on it and ignites the black powder in the pan. Otherwise, the musket is a terrible weapon meant to look fancy and be a hazard to wield. The machete has hints of Latin America design, so that's a plus. The black color can be of Filipino origin since the Filipino Bolo, or itak, does have a much darker blade than a machete. If the pictures were sharper, the colors darker, and the font different, then the drawings may improve. I'm not an art expert, but I do know what I prefer in my weapons.
