Want to get rid of the annoying adverts? The answer is simple. There are 4 levels of advertising on AnimeOTK:
Level 1: (Your Level, guests and members with 0-9 posts) has maximum advertising. Level 2: (A user with 10 or more posts who has been a member over two weeks) have vastly reduced advertising (including removal of the large full screen closable adverts) Level 3: (A member who has been registered over a month and has over 50 posts, or has a special account like "artist" or "writer" sees minimal advertising. Level 4: (VIP Donators) receive no advertising.
All donators of $10 or more will never see an advert on our site again!
My friend recently turned in an essay on Stephen King's novel "IT"
He did not do too well on it. The semantics of it were off. His point was more or less discernible but his wording skewed his intended meaning without his realizing it, changing it. Because the meaning of some of his main topics were off his thesis was then not adequately supported. This does not matter much in casual conversation if a person can assume the intended meaning, but it carries a substantial amount of weight when trying to prove something (in this case an essay thesis). If you mess up even slightly on the meaning of the evidence that proves something the other person doesn't even need to provide counter evidence but can exploit the language error and technically disprove the first person. Socially unimportant, but in this case it was a college English/Debate class so it mattered.
People have to be careful with "IT" It's a tough book to read
Anyway that's him getting paddled for his bad grade. The spanker is random person/whoever you want him to be. My friend approves of this image, has seen the finished result and knows it will be online. If anyone wants to confirm this PM me and I'll have my friend get in contact with you.
So let me get this straight you gave your friend a paddling for conveying their thesis wrong? something that's very subjective from all directions? Maybe it's just me but it seems a little harsh for misreading the story. The subject matter of your story is vastly unoriginal. I mean, how many images do we have of people getting spanked for bad grades?
Second of all your art work seems pretty bland with little to no shading, making the image seem extremely flat and two-dimensional. Your skin tones are alright for base colors, but people aren't just one shade. The only shading you seemed to have added makes the image appear as if the characters have both pissed themselves. And I see no reason for the poster to be on the wall unless one of the characters is madly in love with killer spider clown. I mean you would think someone who has that poster on the wall would at least know the book- at the very least. I also don't like how to you the hair it doesn't go in the correct directions by the laws of gravity or even anti gravity. The spankers hair need way more texture for cornrows or micro braids, which seems to be the look you attempted to create. And what's up with their shoes? I mean one pair is the exact same color as the flooring below making it look like you chopped off his feet and the poor guy is walking around on his decapitated-foot ankles! The other are like... what kind of design or shape is that? I don't even know I mean they look like ice-cream cones.
The desk has terrible depth and I couldn't see any carpenter in their right mind making a desk on those proportions to surface area and height with such bland detail. I think it was good choice you decided to keep those pants up considering your anatomy is in dire need of help. I mean those hands! They remind me of a pack of ballpark franks! Were you hungry at the time your drew this image? Just how much time did you spend on this image? The floor boards seem to be okay but their lines are a bit messily done.
Do you know how much time I'd spend on a picture before I'd post it on this site? Do you know how much time most seasoned artists spend on a drawing before uploading to this site? Unseasoned, it should take even longer. Put quite frankly, this isn't deviant art. I mean it's called art work for a reason; It's work. And I strongly believe that if you're going to do something that you should did it right and not half ass it. After all- There is no human failure greater than to launch an endeavor and then leave it half done.
I'm sorry if "IT" is a tough book to read. Hopefully my critique has not been too hard for you to read. But hopefully you can take from what I've pointed out to help you do better in the future.
I rated it a two because you at least put something down that looks vaguely human.
I drew this very quickly. I uploaded it the night my friend got his grades back.
I am more experienced with sketching on paper, but I just got an art tablet and I guess I am still working out the finer details; trying to get used to it. Perhaps I will upload some paper sketches ^^
Pirate I totally get what you mean about doing something half assed. I worked on this last night and was hoping to upload it that night as well, so I skipped examining the finer details. It was very rushed; I should have taken more time. Your critique has not been too hard, I appreciate that you took the time to really convey your thoughts on it without being mean about it. I also appreciate what you have pointed out, you have given me things to think about and work on.
Also, I didnt actually spank my friend. We were joking about it after he got his grade ^^ True that this site has lots of other images where the back story is bad grades, but this actually happened to my friend the other day. I put the poster in the back round just for fun ^^ Thanks again for the feedback!
Almond: I just started using a tablet. Im trying to do the line work/sketch on the tablet which is proving very difficult for me. I think I will start scanning sketches onto my computer for the time being.
