more critique for the artwork (Don't want to offend though seeing as it is very well done).

The guy on the right... looks like a girl (it's mainly just the chin, blemish free skin and the headband)

The middle part of the axe head is facing us even though the rest of the axe is at an angle

you folded up the paper quite a bit

... no, can't think of anything else. Great artwork AdrianX

Yeah...I'm not a very hardcore RPGer and I don't know sh!t about anime. I know the style by facial features of characters, but nothing beyond that. I'm mostly on this board cuz my friend was crazy about it and showed me.I just sort of liked the community and hang around. I guess I'm an oddity, hah.

The picture was cool and I think I said that.

I think it sounded so negative cuz I just said 'oh this bothers me' and didn't really critique. I try and avoid doing that, but I guess I failed, eh?

Also, the CAN YOU DO BETTER? question...Don't ever say stuff like that. Art should never be about whos better....if you want to look at anything I've made, feel free to check out my post. It's somewhere. It does need critiques.

Oh and I played your game and that thing is the sh!t. Its awesome. I gotta finish it. Sometime.

Sunsofflame, despite the fact that Kainminter is a total baby, your critique was doing what I call "reaching"; which is where you complain about things that aren't really problems and it makes you look like you're just trying to tear the work down rather than actually offer suggestions. Like the hair thing you mentioned. Basicially "reaching" is the opposite of when people try to brush off a valid critique by claiming it's "just thier style"; i.e. where you mess up a critique so bad that you take issue with something that actually is someone's style.

The complaints about the light source and lens flares are totally ture though. Adrian, adding lens flares to stuff might look like a good idea, but it never ever is.

Though I highly appreciate being called a douche and a baby, all the name calling is uncalled for. Please restrain yourself in the future from doing so while you voice your opinions.

I have to say that HunterGreen was right about the "Reaching" thing he mentioned, though. I Just got a little annoyed when your critisism started getting to the point of complaining about the hair color, since it is just AdrianX's style. After reading your last reply I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to tear him down or anything as was my original impression,so I'm sorry for complaining so abruptly towards you, SunsOfFlame.

Lohne and Adrian did a fantastic job!
Well, yeah, one of them looks like a girl. Where are they anyway?
Surrounded by flames?

..yeah,surrounded by flames..cant think of any backgrounds that time..and oh,one of them intentionally looks like a girl..we always draw characters based on ourselves (me and lohne,that is)..and i make my game characters in the same manner.it gives them a lot of character and life..
