I love cartoons. I've always loved cartoons, and anime. I love cartoon art. Ever since I was a little kid, I was facinated by cartoons and comics, and I wanted to do cartoon art. No, not even that, I wanted to be a cartoon.

Realism doesn't excite me. It doesn't get me fired up, I have no passion for it. I can't do something that I have no passion for, my heart just isn't in it.

What I AM passionate about is cartoons, so that's what I do..


O.o ... my goodness. You tore a page right out of my book ...








... wow.

Anyway, I'm going to have to agree on some occasions with Kyouji ... Alastor ... Jet Black ...

To me, the artwork is nothing special ... just a sketch. However, Taryn ... Tarale's art just has that quality to it that makes it appealing to the eye (especially to internet nerds). Her art isn't meaningful and it's not terribly "artistic" in the most hierarchical sense of the word, but it looks pretty ... and people like it.

She'd be pretty baller if she applied a little expression ... and that ... all that takes is a little thought with a dash of creativity.

On a tangent, expression doesn't have to be some deep, personally meaningful piece of artwork. You can do so much with your style; most having to do with storytelling (which is an amazingly broad subject). Comics, single-panel stories, character design, character development, cartoons ... I can name more. I can even give you examples if you want. Tarale, all of your stuff is just someone else's idea, put into your very eloquent style ... and they just stand there with smiles on their faces.



=)

There's a lot you can do.

As for a critique of the artpiece:

1) Nice use of ballpoint pen and your characterization.

2) A few general anatomical errors in the head. The chin seems like it's right up against the throat, the cheek bone juts out, and the hair isn't too compatible with the skull in some places.

3) Although the hair and blouse have nice contrast and are well done. The jacket is only ... three shades of grey ... about that much anyway. There should be plenty of cast shadows and highlights on it as well and a few more greys.

4) You know your trade well and you've perfected it. NOW EXPAND ON IT ... if you dare.

I never said it had to be emotional ... In fact, I'm not a big fan of emotional work myself. That's just one path you can take.

What I would really love to see you do ... is to try something more than just a profile shot.

Umm, example of what you could do...

1) Make your own set of characters. Your good at drawing characters, so try to apply the technic you've garnered and apply them. If you can't think of new characters, try basing them off of people you know online or offline.

2) Give them character. This takes thought.

3) Put them in a scene together.

4) This is where the storytelling comes in. Whatever interaction happens between the two characters is a direct result of well ... their character.

5) Whatever happens can be expressed in a one-panel shot ... or if you want to expand that even further, a comic.

Stuff like this takes practice and a technical mind alongside an artistic one, but you've already have that, so you're set. =P

Teddylot pulled an umbrella from out of his pocket, opened it, and held it tightly over his head. He then preceded to parade around in circles.

Teddylot: Tut, tut, it looks like rain.

Zap: *adjusts his glasses* ... no ... no, they don't. It's called programmed instinct.

Teddylot: ... I'm just a little black rain cloud! *twirls around his umbrella*

Zap started shuffling through his backpack. He pulled out several different circular patches which were all a bit bigger than the palm of his hand. He scrutinized the disks, then pulled out one of them from the group. He gently held the patch in his hand and packed the others away.
The boy then used his audacity to step outside of Bel's water shield. He took a few steps forward, and the frogs remained still. Slowly, Zap placed the disk on the floor, quickly programmed it, then stepped a few feet back.

Teddylot: ... huh? *looks up from under the umbrella* What was all that about?

Zap: An easy way to keep the frogger menace down.

Teddylot: ... yeah, that's nice ... but how?

Zap: It sends out an electromagnetic pulse through the ground. The pulse waves would then travel through the ground to the nearest conductor, the frogs, and go through their systems. The electronic property of the pulses would shortcircuit them ... in theory. I've never tested it out.

Teddylot: I see ... actually, no I don't ... It's pretty dark.

Zap: -.- You've just recently used that line.

Teddylot: YEAH ... but it's still applicable!!!

For it commends the tongue and cheek.

It has taken me a while to adjust;
However, I play, for I feel I must.

I have nothing much else to say.
If I tried, I'd be here all day.

Thus, I end with an exclamation!
