Artist's Comments
It's been a while since my last submission.
I've been practicing my hardest with my fanciest art style. So I did a girl with pink hair, a cute dress similar to the one Cassandra from Magmon (my series) wears. The picture took me two whole days and the angle made the face look a bit distorted because drawing things on angles on a tablet is terribly hard. The background I worked hard on, using noise, gradients and contrast techniques. The signature is there just in case it winds up on anothe site like 4chan. Normally I hate pink and green together with few exceptions but this one was ok because the ribbon and the collar barely touched. |

I am Haruno Sakura From Naruto In Mistygemmy's Online Anime Crew!
Adorable expression and gorgeous artwork.
Looks like the professional anime art you'd find on promoting things~
You know Crystal Clair, I've looked through your backlog of pictures for the first time in a while, and I think I'm starting to notice another thing that seems to set Japanese fan artists apart from Western anime imitators: poses. When I think about it, even several of the most simple of oekaki will use a slightly dynamic pose. Western imitators, meanwhile, seem to have this problem with making their characters appear in this same, straight-standing pose, with their faces turned at this same particular lower-diagonal direction, and their arms and elbows always bent at some basic angle (like any multiple of 45) going outwards away from the body, with no emphasis on depth perception or anything else more complex (and if depth perception is there, it's usually poorly done). If you'll notice, this kind of flaw does plague your earlier pics.
Maybe this is another reason I seem to like Japanese artwork so much... it isn't just the drawing that's good (hell, several oekaki are EXTREMELY sketchy), it's the content that makes the scene itself seem anything but drab (I REALLY wanna know what these kids are learning in their art classes). Anyway, good job. Perhaps as you improve further, I'll finally be able to put my finger on more of the things that bug me about most of the manga imitators out there, whom you thankfully seem to be setting yourself apart from.
