A Kokiri Date? IMCOMPLETESummary: Link is trying to get Saria to himself, so he can be alone with her and confess his deep feelings for her. On the other hand, Mido will do anything to keep Saria distracted-even if it means deceiving. This is before Link meets Navi-based on the game and manga of Ocarina of Time.
____________________________________________________________________________

From a distance, Mido knew this wasn’t good.

He watched in disgust as Link tried putting his arm around Saria, but his trembling body kept him from getting comfortable. Saira seemed pretty oblibous, or pretending to be, to Link’s attempts. If anything, she probably thou

And Some May Pooby ~MissStory

Digital Art / Pixel Art / Characters / Non-Isometric

EDIT: Thanks for the critiques!
It was supposed to be whipped cream, the substitute for the Hyoi Pear or whatever that thing is called from Windwaker. But I looked at it and it looks more like poop, so yeah thus the title changed and so did my thoughts on it. Link used a pear and instead of gaining control the seagull just pooped. I guess some are like that.

I requested a critique on this because I really would like good tutorials/tips on how I can improve my pixelish art as well as how I can improve the whole WW feeling of it for future reference.

You said You wanted this to look like pixel art correct? My first critique then would be, while I see what you are going for it wasn't quite successful and ultimately looked like an unintentionally pixelated picture rather than pixel art. That being said I would like you to use more color, starting with the sky start with a darker shade at the top slowly using lighter colors until you reach sea level, five different shades at the least to give it a greater feeling of depth. as for the sea do the same from the top of the grass until it meets the sky. Look at references of the ocean, its ok if the colors blend when they meet at the horizon line. This will make it feel more like you are looking off into the distance. Waves should be bigger and more detailed in the front and smaller and less detailed as the go back. Grass is harder, but ultimately same as waves. use different shades of green and basically try different techniques to get the right feeling for the grass.Like what you did for up against the rock he's sitting on. More of that with varying thickness and detail. The rock he's sitting on needs to be a little more jagged, remember a good reference can help you immensely when drawing, even when doing something as simple as a rock. Don't be afraid of using lots of colors, maybe even colors you wouldn't think about for a rock like maybe reds or purples to give it more personality. Now for the "poop", you mentioned it was supposed to be whip cream, correct? My advice is, "if something doesn't look like what you want it too then keep working on it until it does." A lot of really good artist have this problem as well, so don't worry if it doesn't look correct right away.

Moving on to Link, he was done very well, its easy to tell who he is supposed to be and doesn't leave much room for error. What I would ask for is a bit of practice on proportion and for the shading to be a bit more dramatic. Anyway that's My two cents and I hope I wasn't to harsh. Overall you are doing very well and I would love to see more as you progress. Believe me when I say you have talent, just keep practicing and you will improve faster than you realize.

now i will be completely critical because that is what you asked of me, learn from this and don't grow weiry. the overall composition lacks a little bit, it was a valiant effort but it is lacking in line art which is the foundation of most anime's and itis lacking in detail in the background. the background is a little off but well put together, you deffinitely did capture the wind waker feel, but link s proportionately incorrect. it seems as though you did this straight from the computer using paint. you should take the time to sketch out what it is you have envisioned, make sure it sits well with the eye from a distance and scan it into the computer. next focus on the line art that should really compose link and maybe some other details in the composition and then focus on color. you sure have the wind waker feel of link as well and since that is what you were going for you get points for that too. wind waker characters are about a mix of chibi style so practice the style, you can only get better. i wish you luck in this cause you do have talent and practice be your teacher XD
