Hey E-nat, I think it looks pretty good, I like it. It's definetly better than the Orihime fanart you posted in the Bleach arts section, so I think you made a big improvement, as far as drawing faces goes for your fanarts. Also, I think you might be one of the first artists to make a good looking fanart of Karin without her glasses on. Well anyways, in my opinion you did a great job making this, so keep up the good work.

Thanx!
glad you think so, that was a very experimental piece (like this one). Whereas this worked, that one failed, It is good to hear feedback..It is very helpful.
But I guess a more complicated picture would be better

Hey E-nat, it's ashame knowone but me has commented on your art. Anyways, don't let it bother you. Making fanart that pleases hardcore Naruto manga fans, can be difficult. Some might complain that it looks to much like Kishi's art, and then some will complain the opposite, that it doesn't look anything like the character at all. I'm even quite picky with the fanarts I like. I happen to like what you did with this one though, especially in comparison to the Orihime one. I do notice sometimes, maybe not neccisarily with your fanart, but with others, that depending on what part of the world you're from, some artists from a different region of the world tend to make the manga characters in their fanarts look like they're from the same region of the world they're from. A lot of Kishimoto's characters, if you look at them closely, have Asian characteristics. The only thing different a lot of the times is eye size, and hair color. I've seen some fanarts from European artists that intentionaly or uninetentionaly, make the character look more European. Anyhow, i'm careful not to say everyone does this, but it's neither a good thing or bad thing, just something I've noticed seeing so much art from around the world. This is an international website after all, and they say the internet has made the world smaller. Well, sorry for such a long message, perhaps I felt like I had to make up for the lack of responses here. See you around E-nat, and keep doing your thing, I like it.

Lol, don't worry about it. I got comments from somewhere else. But yours are always welcome Here it is always slow unless you are super famous, or are very active in the art section. (every forum has its tradition )

It is very interesting what you said about the location of the artist and how it affects their styles or ideas.

Same thing I saw on a thread about the will of fire, there was interpretation of it basing in the ethnic background. In particular there was one post made by spoonz, which was amazing. It goes along these lines, how people react to the manga according to their beliefs. For example, the worship of the ancestors in the Chinese cultures refers directly to how Konoha people think. I didn't think that way before.

Good thing about this forum is that we sometimes have clever posts, or high level discussions. Which I thought lacking in some other places. Even if these topics don't get as much love from people as "who is stronger?" or "who deserves X's love" threads. But it is good to limit the posts to a certain quality instead of quantity...
