    This is another in the same series as the chainsaw man and scythe man. I totally screwed up in a few places on this one, but I'll wait to see if anyone else agrees.

    As always, I suck at this "art" thing, so I'm leaving it up to you to tell me what I'm doing wrong.

    Oh! Nice job. I like it. It's the skirt that I kinda don't understand a bit. It looks too wrinkly and too starched. Try softening it and not make it look like a paper fan like I did a long time ago. XD Just have more practice how skirts look like. That's all there is to it.

    Overall, nice job!

    Nice work. I like the sword alot. Why do all of your drawings remind me of Code Geass?

    I know the skirt sucks. I suppose it's a good comparison you have here but for me I just have to practice practice practice for things to work.

    You've got Geass on the brain and you've become accustomed to thinking of it when you see my stuff. My style really looks nothing like theirs in the last few I've done.

    Just soften it. That's all. Don't make the edges sharp also. Make it smooth.

    Hmm...is this what you think a glaive looks like? I thought it looked like a large star.

    A glaive originally referred to a sword or a long bladed spear, so I'm using the traditional definition here. You're using the newest and in my opinion stupidest definition of the word which refers to a glaive as a throwng edged weapon like a boomerang or shuriken. No offense intended, it's just a personal preference.

    oh, the weapons you draw are always so cool.

    but, i don't know if this was intentional or not.

    the girl's long skirt doesn't really fit the anime style short-skirts and curved wimen, can't say i dislike that, because her body proportions are more realistic, and less pre-defined perfect.

    though , i think the legs should have been, just a bit more bigger.

    Thanks.

    Thanks to you as well.

    It was intentional, I hate the obsession with unrealistically short skirts the Japanese have. Same goes for the "it's gotta be either busty or loli" mentality that we find so prevalent in popular series.

    I do agree the legs look funny, I'm still trying to figure out which proportion got messed up but it's something that needs more study.
