Topic: Calling for criticisms

Posted under Art Talk

I'm sorry if this isn't allowed here, but lurking, I've seen similar threads come and stay so I thought I'd try as well...

I had been drawing with no contact with anyone for a year and a half or so, but I made a Fur Affinity profile a while ago out of Neitsuke's encouragement, whom I befriended a few months ago out of a message he sent, the first I've received. At first I posted to Paheal only, now to my profile only, I never repost anything or mention drawing, but for a very long time I've tried to look for criticism frantically every day, checking comments and reverse googling. It has always been next to non-existent and only ratings have been my guide. I have received a lot of exposure through Fur Affinity but, ah, it seems like the people there are a bit timid on using harsh words.. so I turn to you.

Some of my images have been posted here and I'm very thankful and humbled by that (https://e621.net/post?tags=ole&searchDefault=Search), but a complete gallery is here: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ole/ (account is needed to view pictures) So if anyone were so kind as to give some kind of.. any kind of feedback, negative preferred but all kinds welcome, I would be very grateful. I don't hold a distinction between "constructive" and "destructive", all criticism is welcome and I must honor it. So if you would like to help me out please post your thoughts here, or in FA, or comments here, or PM, or anywhere else... I'm not picky.
Thank you for reading. Sorry if I've done something wrong.

Nope he got in trouble for that :o

Ignore the peanut gallery here.

It's a strong basis. Vaginas are overly large and poofy and eventually you will want to expand from pokemon with boobs on them, but it all looks like something that practice can make better :o

Why, for giving criticism?

You could also stoop to drawing ponies.
Mlp:where the art is mediocre,and the points don't matter.
But seriously if you draw porn you are going to be at a massive advantage to someone who doesn't draw porn, just ask ratte.

Your art does have a very fluffy vibe to it, as CamKitty said. Everything seems chubby, puffy, or rounded. Maybe try adding some contour to the body shape and slimming down the labias?

I love your shading and it looks like you're a great artist. It just looks like most of your characters are based on the same stout character model.

You are preaching to the choir, man. Just saying other stuff will be needed eventually :P

If only it was proper criticism.
He just writes down his personal opinion and tries to conceal it as 'fact'.
90% of everything he types boils down to either "I don't like human vulvae on furries", "This isn't my fetish, please change" or "Why are you drawing things other people enjoy?".

And I hit him because he got rude, not for typing long winded posts.

On topic: As the others said, your bodies all loom the same, you could try other body types for a change, otherwise maybe trying more detail on everything, because otherwise your pictures are well drawn and shaded.

Thank you all very much for the feedback. I'll try my best to keep it in mind. And sorry if I caused drama.

You didn't cause drama at all. Others did

I like your artwork anyway. Keep it up.
