oh my god I had no idea what you were talking about so I googled that and did yu-gi-oh seriously take a unicursal hexagram and make it a lame card, that makes me sad

Being a Thelemite myself, I too was saddened by that. I love this piece though! 93 93/93!

The ball of the nose keeps bothering me. I wish it had some modeling incorporated.

what do you mean by modeling? I liked how it looked

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ami-the-water-godess In reply to radioactivepoo [2012-03-30 16:35:33 +0000 UTC]

It looks like her nose is pushed against glass. And what I mean by modeling is making it seem 3D (like clay modeling) rather than flat. If there was just a bit of shading, I wouldn't be bothered by the ball of the nose at all.
Of course you liked how it looked; It was just a criticism.

radioactivepoo In reply to ami-the-water-godess [2012-03-30 16:56:56 +0000 UTC]

okay well thanks, it was meant to be a pretty quick drawing so I didn't feel the need to fully render everything

ami-the-water-godess In reply to radioactivepoo [2012-03-30 21:14:49 +0000 UTC]

I can see that. I just would have chosen to take two minutes to render the nose more completely. You rendered the rest of the face to near completion.

You shouldn't assume it would just take 2 extra minutes to render something, everyone works differently and at different paces. Also if the rest of face is rendered completely doesn't it make it that more obvious that the unrendered part was a stylistic decision of the artist? You just seem a little off-base here, implying that the part of the nose was done because of laziness/lack of skill.

ami-the-water-godess In reply to Smooothie [2012-03-31 22:11:11 +0000 UTC]

I certainly didn't imply a lack of skill or laziness. I just don't agree with their decision not to render it.
I'm not trying to offend anyone.

it would have taken more than two minutes to render the nose like I did the rest of the face :/ I did have it realistically shaded at first but I liked how it looked with the more graphic circle.

That's fine. Maybe you should disable comments if you don't want any criticism.

I loled at that last comment too Seriously maybe she shouldn't dish out criticism if she can't handle your explanations for your decisions
