New Batch of Lexxy Artwork!

Thanks, Kotori :3 I know I can't please everyone, but I was curious to see if there were others that preferred something closer to the old style. Right now I'm still on Yui--the old sketch, as suggested, will be used for one of her daughters instead. I haven't had time to do a new one of Yui yet, but it's something I hope to get done over the weekend. So far I've been able to keep to the one drawing per week goal I've set--hopefully as I square away more RL obligations I'll be able to work a little faster.
But yeah... inking. Even though I don't use Photoshop for inking (I use openCanvas, it's much smoother), it still takes forever. It would literally add hours to my work @_@ All I can do is try to clean up the pencils as best I can and go with that.

We'll stick with the style Lexxy has been doing. Maybe once we get to the last couple works, we can do a little experimenting with extra realism (depending on how she feels), but in the meantime let's stay consistent and not cause Lexxy any unnecessary drama by switching up the art style in the middle of things.
Hey, anyone can. It just takes imagination and lots of practice.Tyler said:
You could be drawing awesome charcter art in a couple years or so, if you took art clases and drew every day. Maybe you should start today?

Man... you don't even wanna hear the list of stuff I've been doing that does NOT involve drawing. Anything. Whatsoever. Being that I've been very productive, however, may mean that I'll have another period of a few weeks in which I have a lot more free time.
It is still my goal to try to get at least half of this done before I leave for overseas.
Goddamn ... that seems just right somehow, in my head.
Nice edit! :O
And I actually have something to post! It's nothing much, and not part of the project, but I was compelled to doodle during my morning break and chose to do a young Hanako to keep me focused on the project even though I haven't had time to work on it. Work has gotten extremely busy, so I haven't been able to sketch during the day, and I've had too much going on in the evenings as of late to get in any drawing time then either.
All I can do is doodle discreetly when I take my 15 minute breaks u_u;
I thought she'd be cute in light fluffy colors. Perhaps she's mad because she doesn't agree >.>;

I still think she's leaning too far over, that drawing makes it look lik her hips aren't attached to anything but her legs. o.o
To further, her neck's too straght, since you can see the bend in the torso, and the head's not to scale with the rest of the picture.
I'd keep going, but beyond these bits it'd be general nitpicking on an otherwise wonderful Manip work.

Awwr, shucks n.n *adds you to the list of people to receive her next wallpaper installment*
Cora : : Thanks for the crits :3 I sort of see where you're coming from with the leaning, but seeing as though her weight is being supported by her right leg and it appears (to me, anyway) to be properly positioned to support said weight, I'm not sure if it's just a little odd looking, or if there's actually a problem with it that I just can't discern because it's my own work XD I really don't see what you're saying about the hips, though.
However I do agree with you on the neck, and the head is a little on the big side, but I think it's congruent with the first drawing I did and more or less a purposeful decision on my part.
Also, I'm lazy, and these are time consuming enough that I can't really afford to try to make sure everything is 100% correct n_n; As long as it makes Wes happy, I figure I'm good ter go. So please don't feel bad if I don't act on your (or anyone else's) critiques. Unless it's a serious problem for which adjustment is imparative, I don't think I'll be going back and fixing any of the finished pieces...
