Halloween Machine
Copy-pasta from DA, GO:
This drawing certainly isn't without errors, but I wanted to do something semi-quick of Nemphyss because I neglect her.
Partially because I can't 100% settle on a design, but I'm starting to not care so much about keeping a completely consistent design, so long as you can tell it's her.
I got a pretty funny note here the other day... Basically, I was told how to "improve" Nemph and make her "appealing", by taking away everything that makes her what she is.
And that's a chubby, drooly, dreadlock'd, monster with a severe overbite, who loves to wear what are essentially rags, and has a penchant for snakes. She wasn't created to be "appealing", she was created to represent me, and she's not changin' to appease anyone. SO THERE |3

I find her appealing just the way she is... and if they can't love her for what she is and how she looks then they shouldn't look at her. That's all there is to it.
Not everything is going to be skinny with huge breasts and a sexy appearance :P And I love your different creatures and characters for the fact that they are unique and not like every other female out there on the net :3

okay, i know this is weird, coming from someone you dont know, but your avatar is dancing in bet to a song ive been listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzz6.....eature=related just listen to it then watch your avatar O_o
Pffff, people do that? Aaaaahaaa when will people learn? HMM Well anyway...As it has been said by many others, I find her plenty appealing the way she is. In fact, hyper normality and 'perfect' proportions and features to me are quite boring. I find the most beauty in people's flaws/ imperfections. Scars, misshapeness, asymmetry, different bodytypes...
ANyway, I looove your angular style! I cannot stop staring at those dreads. The attitude in this is also very fun. Makes me wanna stick my tongue out back and make weird noises or something.

Just for shits and gigiles you should draw an uguu cute nemph whos super skinny and dresses like a jrocker as an april fools joke to see what people say.
And Nemph isn't Nemph without the things you said. I expect the purp and white and orange with the teef, voodoo-y things and halloween flavor.
Anything else is just... :|

I love this, her expression is very "fuck you" and the colors, as always, are delicious :) I'm really loving that slithery tongue, and as always, her pudge <3 I find a pudgy belly to be super sexy, being someone who adores wide hips, they just don't look right with a toned, skinny stomach imo.
I couldn't tell you the times I've been made to feel like Vera could be better if ___, or how many people feel the need to note me before de-watching me to tell me why they de-watched me, as if it's their way of telling me how to improve or like they think they're offering helpful advice for how I should change, when really they're trying to tell me all the things they hate about what I draw that make me happy to draw. Basically what I'm trying to say is, something you already know, which is not to pay attention to them and keep doing what you're doing :) I tend to take negativity and turn it into further fuel to drive me to continue doing what I enjoy. Guess it's the rebel in me ;D

Aw, thank you muchly! And yeah, I honestly think I would look really bizarre if I was thin because my frame is so wide. Despite being pudgy, my hips actually jut out quite a bit and are rather...pointy. IF I DIDN'T HAVE CHUB I'D BE DANGEROUS.
Yeah, if I remember right people bawww'd when you made her third eye "official" and were like "IT'S TOO WEIRD", ahaha :| But uh, I'm glad people being "squicked out" by your art has only worked in your benefit. And I know I like all the buggy and eyeball-y goodness |3 There are a million-and-one artists who draw beautiful things, and not enough who find beauty in "gross" things, in my opinion.
When I was younger I definitely fell into pressures to draw what was considered more "normal" but now it's like... "Okay, eff that, I'm drawing what makes me happy. And that's big teeth, reptiles, and drool >:C"

Gah, I love this. And I love how you stick to your guns and know there's no value in making a cookie cutter character just to hold onto watchers.
I love and respect the people that do watch me, especially the ones that watch me for the creepy things I REALLY love to draw, but I'd be damned if people had any bearing on how my characters "should" look.
I can relate to having a not so run of the mill sexy character X3 I mean, not many people choose a gross hairy primate/bear monster to represent themselves. So ultra high five to you. btw, love the angle and expression of this. It's totally bad ass.

I think she's awesome. I think half the reason she's awesome is because she's obv. there for you and not for anyone else. I think characters that are vapid attempts at appeasing the art community lack depth and are generally p. boring. Monsters are always so different and original! There's nothing like her anywhere and that's wicked-cool. Also PUDGY CHICKS FTW~
As always, love your coloring. What texture are you using, if you don't mind me asking? (Are you using a texture, or are my eyes just playing funny tricks on me?)

I personally think she is perfect like many others have said. Dreadlocks,spiny teeths, and being a monster is awesome anyway. Also i think her chubbyness makes her even better because her body isn't some "perfect" hourglass with giant boobs.( Ihate how people always make their characters"perfect"). Characters are way effin better when more natural body shapes are used anyway. Last but not least she is a Monster and that just makes her all the more better I think. Monsters are some of the best types of characters ever aswell so. My character is a monster/dog so yeah can't resist the monsters. X3 Seeing as you don't know me though I'm probably freaking you out. ^^;
I agree with others in that I love Nemph's design, even when it has some mild changes, due to her uniqueness and the fact that it gives a glimpse to who you are too behind the character. :3 And as for the picture itself, I really like some of the "hard" angle lines you used, like on her ear and nosehorn etc. Its a really nice effect, and it had me staring a lot closer at the picture to really take a look at the lineart. *w*
I've always found Nemph to be appealing. I don't know how someone could judge her like that. All of her bright colours and monstery-ness is what makes her who she is. :P
Anyhow, I love this. That expression is so bad ass, and drool is a great. Being a monster person myself, anything with sharp pointy teefs and long slithery tongues are frickin' awesome. :P The texture adds a nice touch, too.

Nemphyss wouldn't be the lovely beast we love without the pudge and slobber and her awesome sharkbite :c
I hate it when people have the gall to come up to an artist and offer "advice" on how to make our characters more fappable to them, as if they were the reasons we draw our characters. Keep her real to what you love and she'll be awesome always :D
