Decided to CG one of my pictures of Feather in MSPaint.
I'm done with the outling and the color. I'll install The Gimp to do the shading, but yeah, I'm done for now.

She is about a 9.0 on the Goth-o-meter.

Hey, I try.

But, actually, that's the reason I first started CGing her as opposed to anyone else, since she's mostly mono-chromatic, and all.

Pretty cool. Gotta love the gothness.

Gotta.
I'm still waiting for criticisms, though. All I've gotten so far are comments on how she's a goth.

After looking at the pic for a while, I can only come up with one criticism. She appears to be wearing boots with raised heels, and from what I've heard you'd have to be insane to wear heels in a battle (I'm assuming this is her in-game attire).

Well, they're not necessarily high-heels, but yeah...
That's similar to what someone else said about it. She told me that ou can tell it was designed by a guy, 'cos no girl would fight in a skirt.

But yeah, Feather's probably one of my least practical characters when it comes to costume...

Goths are cool! So are high-heels and skirts. I might wear a skirt if I go into battle. I wear the most impractical clothes year round, including skirts and big high-heeled boots in the winter

But anyways, I think her skin is a tad bit too pale.

That's makeup coupled with skin-bleaching. At first, it was just going to be her face, but I did it all in white during my basic coloring, and it just stuck like that.

Hmmm...I can't really do a real critique until she is actually shaded. I like the choice of colors, except I think the skin is too white, even for a goth type girl. She looks pratically undead. Smokin'

Yeah, it's not peach at all. I didn't even see that it was just a pour white till I look at Shadow post, but maybe you should just have a very, very light peach color.

Well, maybe I could with this picture, but the sprite's going to have to be white, 'cos I already use the lightest peach for everyone else...

Frickin' Genius · Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2003 9:55 am Post subject:

Maybe, but you still have the lightest yellow, or maybe one that's a little darker. Or you could make everyone else a darker peach color, but I don't think you will.

Ummm....Uncy. That's some freaking awesome MSPaint work there.
That program's not good for a whole lot I know (and some of us poor souls are cursed with it!)

But that's some good work! All you need now is Neo Paint to shine it up!

Augh! The hard outlines are raping my eyes. You should try to find a way to make those lines a little smoother, otherwise it extremely detracts from an otherwise cool picture.

(the measure of a man is how many times you can use the word "otherwise" in a sentence)
