What can I improve on?
they are kinda cute
they sort of look like the adventure time characters
id like to see some animation / colored work / some stuff you spent a couple hours or at least 25 minutes on
I'm working on an animated series called FedUp, but right now it's in the planning stages. I have nothing of real quality to show you.
the recent upsurge in paste-on noses is alarming to me
still i like the guy with the "okay" on his shirt

blame it on the milburns.
campnorth is promoting serious change in the art styles of internet tweens.
you can improve on a lot of things desert, just depends on what direction your taking it.
What the fuck are you doing here, you fucking nigger faggot?
Quote from: Desert CatWhat can I improve on?
your stuff looks like this 'indie' art that everyones doing at the mo
which isnt really a bad thing but yeah dont make the same mistake i did and limit yourself to one style
everyone's doing this now
they kind of remind me of
me

lol we're just trying to give it some variety
but this style is a big trend now, it'd be fine if you went with it but try to add some originality to it or something to make it look like your own.
i am going to comment on one detail of your artwork and why it bothers me rather than giving any kind of in-depth critique
Quote from: anseli am going to comment on one detail of your artwork and why it bothers me rather than giving any kind of in-depth critique
ansel why do you always have to be so gay
i didn't want to have to mention this but it's not just the noses it's the whole post-modern avant garde flannelgraph look that is getting really unoriginal and tired now i mean it's nice they're trying something "different" but it doesn't have to be a carbon copy of all the other work that looks like this
you might as well go for the full monty and draw random speech bubbles everywhere with irrelevant symbols in them

yeah that was pretty gay, sorry bro
I agree with you about all this, though. When Campnorth was still alive, everyone's work was an odd mix of the milburn bros and lazymuffin--the same kind of LOL WACKY FACES AND WIGGLY ARMS look that this fella seems to be going for. I mean, I went for that shit for years and still do a lot of the time, but at a certain point everything just blends together and you might as well go back to realism and be praised for being different!
also, speech bubbles, arrows, and paint splatters indicate one thing: laziness

Long comic didn't come out the way I had hoped.

not me!
edit: now that i look at this stuff, it's kinda like a mix between indie art and wind waker
its cute but i'd like to see you try something other than the 'hipster indie scott pilgrim campnorth paste-on-nose indieband album art' style
the yeti pic i really like though
nice colour choices too. the comic could be delivered better!!
