CRITIQUES WELCOME AND GREATLY APPRECIATED!



Welcome all! Here's where I'll be posting my artwork. I'll start with my older works, then my newer ones, and maybe post some doodles sometimes.

I'd love some critiques about my art!! I really want to improve.

I'll be posting my works in a spoiler that looks like this:

Spoiler: Content warnings (things I think might bother some people visually) (CW) will be here if applicable (ex. cw: eye straining colors)...

And the art and description, will be here!

Now, after hearing me babble for days, I can finally show you guys some of my works! ^_^

Spoiler: These are some of my works from 2014! Oldest to newest

Aw jeez, some of this stuff is really embarrassing... But they're still important to me since I only heriously started to do art that year.

Spoiler: Vulpix

^I really loved Vulpix...

Spoiler

^That's Miku, one of my OCs who I still use today. She's great. I'll have to talk about her sometime.

Spoiler

^There's Miku again, in another form. And with short hair, cuz I wanted to mess around with wind and hair.

Spoiler: Gumi Megpoid

^This is a sketch of Vocaloid Gumi, and it's one of my best works from 2014.

Spoiler: MILESTONE ART!

^Here we have *drumroll* my first experience with digital art! This was a huge milestone for me, and today, I love to look back on this piece and see how far I've came since then. It makes me a bit teary eyed every time.

Spoiler: -.-

^Eughhh... This here is my second try with digital art, made during the aftermath my Sonic phase. I was going crazy testing out different brushes. This piece is really embarrassing....

Spoiler: Dave

^Ah, I still love this one to be honest. It's Dave Strider from Homestuck, and it was my first HS fanart, so I love it a lot. It makes a return later, too!

Spoiler

^She's Melody, another OC of mine that's still in use. I love her aaaaa

Spoiler: Roxy

^More Homestuck, this time Roxy Lalonde. This was my first art trade!

Spoiler: Sollux photomanip

^Here, I wanted to try my hand at photomanipulation (for the first time), so I turned myself into Sollux Captor (Again from Homestuck; I was on a huge Homestuck kick.)

Spoiler: cw: Mild body horror

^Another photomanip. This one's kinda creepy. 0_o

Spoiler

^My second background (the first being behind the girl on my first digital piece). I still use this as a phone background sometimes! I love it a lot.

Spoiler: Sollux Captor

^Sollux Captor from Homestuck. Gosh, I loved this character. I was playing with gel pens in this piece.

Spoiler: Rose

Rose Lalonde from Homestuck! This was my first lineless digital art!

Spoiler: Improvement

^Here's a sketch of my OC Miku a few months after the first one! Such a huge improvement.

Spoiler: Vent art//

^This was actually my first piece of vent art... Kind of a self-caricature... Haha... (Boy, lookin' at this image didn't bring back any good memories, no-siree.)

Spoiler: Nya!

^This was my first time drawing a cat! This was a request from a friend of mine. I like this one a lot.

Spoiler: Nya. :3c

^Second time drawing a cat, and it was for a contest. I feel like this is one of my best pieces ever, to be honest. I've had someone buy a print of it, actually!

Spoiler: Davekat 0u0

^Just a cute shipping badge doodle I made. Normally, I wouldn't include something like this, but I think it's really cute. :3c

Spoiler: Dave 2.0

^Dave Strider from Homestuck, and my second lineless. My sketch returned, see! It's the better of the two. :0

Spoiler: Spookey <:0

^This was my Halloween art for the year! I drew it with metallic markers, then made some edits in an art program! I still like this a lot, and I've been using it every consecutive Halloween as my desktop background. (And in case you were wondering, that is my OC Miku!)

Spoiler: Skylar

^This is a picture of my ex boyfriend that I drew. (Don't worry, we're still friends!)

Spoiler: Deadpool

^Now, I'm sure at least a few of you guys will know him! It's Deadpool! I drew this lil' fella then turned him into a bookmark with laminate plastic. I still use it!

Spoiler: Naily

^This is my friend's OC, Naily, that I drew to test out a shading style.

Spoiler: REALLY COOL SNOW BACKGROUND AAA

^This is my best background I've ever drawn. I don't even know what to say about it, other than I love it a lot.

So that's about it for 2014 art! Let me know what you think and what you expect to see with my newer stuff!
I'll be back tomorrow to post 2015's art
I'd do it tonight, but it's 3:00 am and I don't feel like it x3

Also: mods, let me know if I need to remove any of these!

Hello, Bell Tree!
I am back again today with some more art! This time, it's current things, so I'd really, really appreciate some feedback!!

So without delaying any longer, here we go~!

Spoiler: 2016 Works so far | oldest to newest

Spoiler: Watercolor

^This was my first time working seriously with watercolors. And by seriously, I mean not just messing around and wasting paint.
I was trying to paint a sort of abstract pastel space thing. I think I did well. I used tube watercolors and a silver metallic pen for details.

Spoiler: Karkat Vantas

^A Karkat from Homestuck that I drew for my friend on a whim. I like this a lot.

Spoiler: Punky Feferi

^This is a punk-rock style Feferi Peixes from Homestuck. It was a birthday gift for my friend!

^This is another Homestuck OC of mine, Fenrir. He's a furred troll, and he has 2 sets of horns. I love him.

Spoiler: cw: gif, flashing gif, glitches

^I wanted to make a glitching gif, so I took a panel from Homestuck with Sollux Captor on it and edited it to look this way.

Spoiler: cw: Large body of water

^This is the result of me wanting to practice anatomy, backgrounds, and wanting to vent a bit all at once. I really like this one.

Spoiler: Sonic!

^I hadn't drawn Sonic characters in a long time, so I sketched these out one day! Shadow, Rouge, and Amy respectively.

Spoiler: cw: minor body horror, glitches

^ I was testing out some glitch effects! (Also, I'm not sure who she is... Maybe i'll sell her at some point.)

Spoiler: Peachy!

^This is my Animal Crossing OC, Peachy! She's a 'peach lion', pink in color with a leaf on her head! She has a mane because she is my beautiful transgender child~ (She's also my avatar right now!)

Spoiler: Peachy x2!!

^Speaking of my current avatar, there it is! It's just a cute little doodle I made to show off her color palette.

Spoiler: Porrim Maryam

^My sister bought me some artists' markers, so I tested them out by drawing the queen of Homestuck, Porrim.

Spoiler: Luka Megurine

^Luka Megurine, the Vocaloid. I drew her with those markers as well.

Spoiler: Dave Strider

^Messing with the markers again. I couldn't get his expression right, so I just left it out.

Spoiler: Unfinished Aradia

Spoiler: Chihiro Fujisaki

^I drew Chihiro from Dangan Ronpa with some watercolor pencils. I'm really proud of this.

Spoiler: Watercolor pencil Sollux

^This is a Sollux from Homestuck that I drew with the water color pencils. Sadly, I lost the file with the finished product after I added water, so all I have is the 'before' image.

Spoiler: Sari

^This is my OC, Sari! She's a mute witch!

Spoiler: Circus Monster fanart

^Sapphire from Steven Universe!

Spoiler: Miku

^My OC Miku in digital style! Gosh, I love this drawing. One of my best.

Spoiler: Rick Sanchez | cw: eye straining colors

^Gosh, I worked so hard on this. It's Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty. Again, this is one of my best works ever, and I'd really like some feedback!
