You look so cute. =3

I want to hug you so badly. =3

no matter what size you draw Ruby ill still like it! ^w^

I jus luv how u draw ur furs

You should see my style

She's still sexy as hell, bud! ^_^

Looks lovely <333

I must say though I actually really loved that uber scratch shading ;w; guess im wierd like that :U

I don't know so much about 'over the top' but I do like the simpler style myself. Just as effective!

I liked your shading!

I'd definitely say that it still looks good, and the clothing looks incredibly detailed.

I've never complained, but your extreme use of the other shading did bother me on a lot of your pieces. It just looked really.... weird and unnatural. But I didn't want to say anything because it's YOUR art and you do what YOU want to do! You don't have to listen to anyone else. :) While I personally prefer this shading over the other type, I think you should go ahead and do what you want.

Also, this IS super cute x3 I looooove love love how you do faces!!

Ruby's looking good as always.

Plus, I think this shading style works better. It allows you to focus more on the character herself, rather than distract you with the shading.

*huggles* She seems more colorful than your other pics. :D

who complained? it is a distinctive style, unique even ^.^ i think you should keep it

this looks alot better for a shading style

While the old style was more distinct, this new shading technique is a lot more readable and lets the main colors shine through a lot more. I dig it!

Still looking cute beautiful and sexy indeed. <333

Looks a lot cleaner and more pronounced in my opinion, I dig it.

I prefer this style, though I liked your old style, as well. Great piece, VERY cute!

I have to say, major improvement.

The simpler shading style works better with your general drawing style. The scratchy shading just looked, as some people will say, stringy and sloppy. That's my opinion too, and I'm not saying that to be mean or anything like that. As I said, the simpler shading works better with what you've got, looks cleaner, smoother, and shadows really should be smooth and, for the most part, more solid and bold, not... well, stringy.

Scratchy is nice, but there's already a 'scratchy' style of shading... it's cross-hatching. x3

By all means though, continue to work on a unique style of shading, drawing, colouring and what-have-you that is all your own. Don't feel overly confined by what everyone likes to see. If you keep working at it, playing around with different things, and so on, then you'll find something.

This looks a TON better.

I do have to say, the "scratchy" thing was the ONLY thing keeping me from enjoying your art. Your black-and-whites were excellent, but the colored ones with that scratchy thing...it just made your character's skin and fur look unnecessarily saggy and baggy.

Like Milkie said above, NEVER take this as a sign to stop trying to innovate. Just always remember that sometimes you have to get it wrong to get it right, know what I mean?

Looking forward to some luscious Peach art, soon.<3

I approve.

another great art Ruby still looks cute, lovely and adorable

wait what!? thats what made your art stand out that is your style, they have no room to complain

plus the sratchy style added a level of detail to the chara's

Well... ;P... probly have to look through the work for that ideal... but looks good regardless. *nod nod*

I love the picture, but personally the scratch shading was much better, it adds a nice amount of detail to the picture.

makes her not look like she has wrinkly skin anymore it looks much better imho

Dat face... owo

i deefiently like thee neew shading stylee. works much better :D

Thank god xD

Well the scratch shading was unique to you I do like the simpler look more. Not saying you should stop just giving some input.

I liked the scratchy style and the loose quality of the way the lines gave form to the character. I felt that the sketchy style being loose was expressive and i liked that. I like this too but it just seems too much of the same thing in regards to other digital art that uses the cel shading style. Its been beat to death which is probably why I preferred your sketchy and loose linework of your earlier pieces. And being that its your style its what sets you apart and I don't think you should ever truly let others dictate what style you should do if you enjoy what your doing. Do what you like and feel that makes you unique :). That being said you still draw anthros and furs extremely well and I love how you draw them :).

Wow, those are some beautifully fat hips she has. <3 Ruby is as gorgeous as ever, and I'll remain a loyal fan for the rest of time. X3

I dunno who was complaining, but I didn't have any problems with the shading you were using.

I really like both of your styles, ignore the people who say your last work is bad, you can get plenty of hits from people who think your work is good.

Man I'll never get tired of her. Is there any greater image than Ruby in a cute pose?

Very cute, and very soft.
