You know I love your work. The vibrant colours, the naughtiness, that extra flavour that the mixed media brings.

There are some things that don't resonate with me, though. The characters are often drawn looking very serious and moody. Much of the content is delivered in a very straightforward manner: an expectation is set, and then delivered upon. I often prefer art where an expectation is subverted in creative and unexpected ways.

I second this, if I understand nicoya's point. The characters' expressions sometimes have a, hm... minimalistic expression? Other than that, I have no immediate feedback

Thanks for the feedback, Kanethrall! I didn't think about it when I looked at my work, but now I'll think about how to improve the emotion aspect of works!

Thank you, nicoya, for your time and reflecting me here! I really love exploring darker and more intimate atmospheres, maybe sometimes it's even too dark, I feel~ It's amazing to hear that the mood comes through for you (If I understood right about "moody" part!) And I will seperetly think about "too straight forward" manner of mine, thank you again!

your way of shining latex and metal is really nice, and the chastity, denial, and bondage stuff is hot and fun
i want to get something like this sometime, haha https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53088458/

Nya, thanks for mentioning this work, Ribbons!
You've highlighted my strengths – I'm pleased about that, and it also means interest in girls has place here x)) For some reason, I doubted that, funny!

This isn't a critique, but I think reading about your struggle with perfectionism resonated with me. I found with the help of other artist friends, just drawing and posting simple sketches as opposed to fully rendered/color works can be very freeing. Output increases, stress goes down, and it really helps to hone your drawing skills. Idk if everything you do now starts with a 3D base tho.. The only thing that was stopping me from posting anything but fully rendered art was myself! Trust me, making art fun and exciting for yourself is the most important thing. It'll also be seen and felt with your audience

Thank you so much for your answer, Rem! For a while, I was afraid to talk about my weaknesses? (or rather, my peculiarities) So it's real relief to hear and to speak with you, as you saying, you're perfectionist too~
Your advice is spot on — I made sketchy style ("Neon Noir") for myself, which allows me to let go of excessive self-criticism and just enjoy the process~
Fortunately, I have enough strength and spirit to draw in general (despite all life perturbations) - my issue now in understanding where the golden middle is between what I can offer and what others want to see in my style...
I observing what people generally draw and commission - from what I see... the simpler and more emotional/interesting the idea is, the better?

Yeh! I think a healthy mix of those themes is very good idea!!

Maybe doing some simpler things like your noir style as personal or practice could be nice too ^^

To me it feels like your drawing is heavily reliant on copying models and poses super accurately, which results in art that can only be anatomically correct and proportionally correct to a real-life human, which limits expressiveness and makes scenes feel stiff and motionless, since pose references like this are usually in stationary states, and that reflects on your art. Especially with furries, that means body shapes also have to conform to human proportions, which is a stylistic choice you're locked into from that.

That being said, I wouldn't be watching you if I didn't enjoy your art. You do lighting, shading, and reflections really well and I like the content of your work as much as the style.

Comics and graphic novels might be a good point of study for learning action poses and expressions that look good but might not be a feasible pose or expression in reality.

Thank you so much for such a detailed answer and analysis, angelbird! What you're describing is something I felt, but until someone pointed it out, it was like a 'maybe it's just me' feeling.
3D is indeed limiting — it did give me a good start with shiny materials, and I probably can't go completely without 3D now (it's become part of my style, I guess), but on the other hand, it's an interesting challenge to bring the art to life, to remove the drawbacks of 3D's limitations!
This really gives me something to think about, thank you for your honesty! After all, there are other artists who use 3D as a base (like cool artist named "eleode", for example), but their emotions are truly brighter, and the anatomy is... softer?

Personally speaking, I'd love to see more General and Mature rated pieces, especially including latex and such. This piece is one of my favorite artworks on this site: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39429132/

Thanks for the answer, Federation! And I always thought that 'adult' was the most... desirable one? Like a Kinder Surprise — you get chocolate and a toy - win-win! x) I even managed to forget that a fetish isn't necessarily about 'sex in latex' — sometimes it's just 'latex'~ Professional deformation! x) I'll start thinking in that direction! <3

All of your stuff is awesome! Amazing colors and shading. The subject matter is my fav part. X3 All things BDSM! Softcore, hardcore, men, women, it's all so good~

x3) Thank you, Kohll! When I get really frustrated, I tend to become very categorical and harsh towards my own art, so a comment like yours convinces my inner critic that I'm not that bad x))
Not complaining, just saying thank you in this way! <3
