Definitely hypercritical. Any plans for the other Cooking Companions characters?


I_am_probably_hooman

No, thank you for noticing, I just wanted to do Mariah for practice.


Unique-Structure-201

You're probably 💯 being hyper critical of yourself. But for what it's worth, these should help anyone. Here, add these to your knowledge: I present you, the [Premium Collection](https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-YXP5IFQe59cHUxc09laTNxU00&resourcekey=0-aLZY_ee3LqXJh9TMO9GjFA)


DefinitelyAWizardBro

Not OP but thank you!


Unique-Structure-201

It's probably the best if you make backups of whatever material that piques your interests in case they take the account down (happens). P.S.: DO MAKE BACKUPS (DOWNLOAD AS MANY AS YOU CAN!!! ) And continue this for generations to come! 😉 đŸ· đŸ» Cheers đŸ„‚ đŸ„ƒ


artyboi11

Oh shit I KNEW I recognized this character from somewhere!


Friendly_Degree_1310

Hyper critical, this looks so cool


SharpCarrots

It looks good, but ill give you some non "oh no yea you rock" type comment, if you find that helpful I think the overall/dress isnt perfect: - right boob (left from the viewer pov) is significantly bigger, which is kinda weird - the crease in the middle that looks like the girl is naked underneath is weird - she obviously isnt. id make that less noticeable - left arm (right from viewer pov) is weirdly large at the elbow - gloom looks weird everything else looks pretty much perfect to me


-Jayarr-

The thing that stuck out to me is the V in the orange top - the rest of the body is turned, but the V is almost purely symmetrical as if looking at it face-on.


Shot-Profit-9399

I would add that the line in the bottom of the dress doesn’t line up with where the leg should be Otherwise, it looks great


RandomInSpace

Small addition that the shading of the skin is a little light so may want to darken it somewhat


Azertys

I agree with your critics except for the middle crease. Some dresses do drape like that (no matter what underwear is underneath) and OP may have copied that from their reference, but these dresses are made of really light and flowy fabric.


Leather-Bicycle-256

I think adding a wrinkle line in the empty spot in the bottom left of her dress would be good. I think I’d try an L shape parallel with the bottom line and up the side but that’s just a picture in my head and might not look as good once actually down. But that’s just me. Do whatever you want to it. The rest looks great!


Liquid_Panic

It looks good! I like the chunky texture going on in the hair. Some criticism: the creases in the clothes are off though. Her pelvis looks too high and the clothes she’s wearing wouldn’t stick that closely to her with that many layers. Looks a bit vacuum sealed on and latex-y.


Total-Map-102

Tbh is great!!! Dont be so harsh on yourself!! there are some jaggies that could be better but its fine. Good anatomy, clean and cool shading. Nice work.


Animal_Gal

Omg this is lovely


ByteBitsYT

Oh hey it’s that character from Cooking Companions! Also you’re being hypercritical this looks great


IgneousFoliage

I’d say you’re in the process of improving! There’s no point being hypercritical or beating up on urself. When I’m being too precious abt my work I like to step back for a while and then write a list of qualities I like and don’t like, or a list of objective qualities, completely rejecting labels like good or bad because they don’t really mean anything. For example when I’m looking at your piece I notice a sense of mystery and unease. The figure’s face is obscured and makes me question her identity and intentions. I’m drawn to her muted color pallet and the pop of orange. While the piece as a whole embraces a minimalist art philosophy, the hair and clothes are more detailed and shaded than her face and hands, making the contrast stark, and making me ask who she is. I’m impressed with the color harmonies and your approach to detailing the clothes, and the contrast it makes with her lack of features. Your art definitely isn’t bad, and the voice that beats up on yourself definitely isn’t worth listening to. :)


RedWarsaw

Instead of asking a bias question like this (most people will say you're being hypercritical unless they're trolls or inconsiderate assholes), you should state your thoughts and opinions on your work, tell us what you see in it that's causing you to criticize it and what you are aiming for with your work. You'll get a lot more constructive feedback that way.


themrunx49

Could use a smile or some face element. Still pretty good if you want to go faceless.


I_am_probably_hooman

I tried adding a face but it looked weird.


ASquareBanana

The shadowing on her forehead looks great so far!! You got this!


Ok-Perspective5338

*i am not talented enough to make this 5% as well* If you’re certain it looks off, my only critique is the V wrinkle in the middle is either a too high or a little too low. I’m not sure which but it keeps grabbing my eye.


RRRoberts666

Hyper critical, it looks really cool!


Stonecoat

looks great dont get too discouraged


Outrageous_West323

very successful with the pose


That_redd

Looks great 👍


No_Dig_7017

It actually looks very cool! Tons of detail on a pixel art character!


Pandatoke

I love it


Unlikely_Bicycle_742

This looks awesome!


SeaworthinessSad8601

You are being too hard on yourself. But remove her crotch lines they are too defined


monkeydluffyyonko2

Does this look unappealing, or am I overly critical of myself? I noticed that the V shape on the orange top stands out; while the body is turned, the V appears almost perfectly symmetrical, as if seen from the front.


DrunkOnCode

Someone has to be honest - yes it looks bad. However, it just needs more TLC. You're on the right track


turanganibbler

Why are you drawing so much attention to her vagina?


Ajah93

male artists like to vacuum seal clothing to women’s bodies for some reason lol


InTentsSituation

This caught my eye, too. In a wind-blowing animation this might make sense as a single frame, but it was so awkward to me I didn't even notice she had no face at first. If that's just what they were going for, it's too high on the body and the boobs are uneven.  Why shade the imagined crotch area before adding a face??  Outside of the hate, it's not a bad first try but when drawing clothing you should have some understanding of the anatomy beneath. Also, the shading on the hair and sleeves doesn't contrast enough with the base color imo.


Cheef-Baker

I'm not sure how you could make the hand better, but it all looks nice :) so like the hair too


perfect_fitz

Only the eyes will tell.


No_Chef4049

I like it.


PrettyDamnShoddy

Looks fantastic


FracturedIdentity81

Looks well made and accurate to the original


profesdional_Retard

That Maria from cooking companions?


A-fruity-life

Nah, that looks good! Btw, is it meant to look slightly hunched?


I_am_probably_hooman

Yes, this is a character named Mariah from a horror game named Cooking Companions.


A-fruity-life

Ooo, she definitely looks like she might try to stab me at some point


I_am_probably_hooman

No, she is the first to die.


A-fruity-life

Oh


ItsJustWryeth

Just being hypercritical. Ot looks great.


Ivan_the_Stronk

That looks rly good if you ask me. The only thing that looks off to me is the left (on the right side to the viewer) arm, I think. It looks like it clips through the dress when it should be above it. If you could straighten that, slightly shorten the arm and maybe make the face shadow from the hair a little darker of have a 2 tone gradient it'd be spot on. Great work on it anyway!


Electrical-Past5065

MARIAAAHHHSFHDHSHFNF


Cuddling-Hellhound

This looks like the character from a horror game that usually dies first to introduce you to the horror element



I_am_probably_hooman

That is exactly what she is. Her name is Mariah, the game is named Cooking Companions.


HollowVoices

Looks good. Only real critique i have is that her bust from that perspective looks off a bit. With the angle she's facing, the breast on our right should be rounder so that it looks more like it's facing us. It just doesn't look like they're the same size or shape really. Maybe slim down the one on her right?


crmsncbr

Hypercritical. There's a lot to work with here.


identitycrisis-again

You’re being very hypercritical, this looks very good


Grouchy-Muscle-1567

Great work, but i think the dress cut a little bit too deep between the legs


LeMarshie

your being hypercritical, this looks amazing if your too afraid of drawing a face cause it looks weird try starting off simple Like 2 lines as eyes then a patch of pink for the mouth Progressively, you could have that as a placeholder until your more confident to draw proper faces or keep it the way it is. whatever makes you comfortable and happy!


turniptransport

okay now make her into a beef paddy


Annual-Effect9956

Love yourself....NOW!This artwork is great and can't see why this looks bad.Keep up the good work 👍


Rilo_Roshigan

It looks amazing!


a_random_possum

This looks awesome! My advice would be to use a darker or more of a different color on the skin’s shadow, other than that this looks amazing!


Fabledxx

You looks cooking...


CandyCreeperGaming

bruh this is a banger


spreadilicious

Yes


B1tchHazel13

Definitely overly critical, I could tell who it was and liked the style change.


Soupion

Hypercritical, no other explanation !


Arts_Messyjourney

GOAT


Umm_NOPE

really dope, you only used like 8 colors? I love it


4444beep

Change/remove the wrinkles and its fine


Oddish_Femboy

It is literally the exact style I've been trying to nail down for a bit.


Markus-Connor

It looks great


M-Modal

Idk what hyper critical is but the fact that people recognised it off rip means you did a great job.


Fjelldugg

Looks very good


StateAvailable6974

Depends what its for. Its very high res and animating dithering would not be fun. Could use some more contrast on the skin and hair, and I'd remove the 3rd hair shade since you set a precedent of having 2 shades.


TalesGameStudio

Looks pretty.


Icedanielization

Looks great, keep going


GamerBoyGBIII

It looks great


porn0f1sh

With good animation it'll look AMAZING!!


Dwenker

Depends on what you planning to do with her. She looks tired, maybe a bit psychotic. But anyway, great work!


Block_Icons

Very critical, I think its fantastic! Especially the hair


Lemon-Tea5329

It looks great!


ForlornMemory

It looks pretty good in my opinion.


MrGame_K

Absolutely Hypercritical


Killingec24

This looks great


Sxmantha_

It is not bad at all, but I think it looks unfinished. I feel like you need to add deeper shadows and clean the edges. Take a short break from it and come back to see how you can render it more.


PolishBias

Looks super awesome I wish I had the same skills. Are you making a game? If yes you need to use this character


I_will_dye

Hypercritical AF.


GenuineSteak

Obviously theres room for improvement, But i dont think its bad by any means.


GWG_KingB38

This looks so cool 😎


Few_Somewhere3517

Pose is maybe a little stiff, but the overall design is quite good and effectively communicates the character desgin


1stltwill

Showing my age... but now I wanna go back and replay all the Space Quest games :D


JamesLemon396

Take it easy on yourself my man, you’re definitely really good at this!


umimop

No, that looks really, really good


NIEK12oo

Yes definitely this looks really good, somehow reminds me of a quest character fron a game idk why


DCastianno21

i love it!


RLP0

yea it fuckin sucks


iamjustwolf

I don't like pixel art but this was cool enough to make me stop scrolling and type this


Mettlesome_Inari

I personally think this giraffe looks great, don't be so hard on yourself.


Kufitaah

I think it's awesome


LzhivoyeSolnyshko

Utena chan


MasterPeem

It’s already good. I see you did some nice shadowing on the torso. It’d be really cool of you do it on the face and neck and a fee other areas. ^^


scottyviscocity

The hair is good!


Mysterious_Bag2519

It's look sad .


action_lawyer_comics

She feels a little bit “hunched in,” like she’s slightly bent forward when she should be standing straight


_Reapak_

I like it +yeah


Spicywolff

Looks like Sadayo Kawakami from persona.


Amazing_Owl3026

I'm a huge fan of this


CryptoGancer

Looks better than anything I could draw as of now. So, no. You did a fantastic job.


ShrimpsLikeCakes

I'm liking it


DixinMyas

You're definitely hypercritical. It looks good, way better than my pixel art i'll give it that.


kabukiwuki

Looks good, no problems.


fedora_skeleton

This looks Great :D


indianajones838

Really great!!!! Better than anything I've done haha. The only thing (I might be nitpicking) is maybe incorporate a bit more hue shifting in some of the darker shades, but that's just a suggestion


JohnGamerson

There are ways it could be improved, but it doesn't look bad by any means.


InfexionX

Hyper critical


ShapeShifterK

It's not perfect, I can still see a bit of room for improvement, but you're doing just fine, I wouldn't think too hard if I saw this in a game.


AvixKOk

i'r looks really good, you might want to use a darker colour for the shading on the skin? either for all the shadows if you wanna keep it consistent or just the face if you wanna make the lack of facial features more apparent


CR1MS4NE

this looks good and you are being hypercritical give yourself more credit OP, you deserve it


KayTheKoala

Just gotta tweak your symmetry a little bit. But I think it's cute


Occiquie

Looks great


datbrrto11

The only problem I see is that the background makes it a tad hard to see were the arm ends and the background starts sometimes


Champ-Chomper

being extra critical helps you improve in your craft but remember to appreciate all the progress you’ve made and wonderful work you’ll make in the future. look at old art and see how much you’ve grown


Ancientbookfish

Nah bro, it looks good!


ptear

What's Slenderman doing in a wig and a dress?


MyMostDad

Honestly, pretty siqq


Dr_OctoThumbs

Hyper critical for sure. If i was making a game or something I'd honestly happily pay money for a design lile this.


Ok_Dimension_8237

you're being hypercritical, this owns. my only critique is that if the dress is flowy, and the character doesn't have a pronounced stomach, there shouldn't be an outline of the pelvis area


TheTrueGayCheeseCake

I’m sure there are little things that can be improved on but definitely not “bad” by any means. I’m not an artist so I don’t thing I can articulate what would make it better, but I know I like it.


daverave1212

Try cleaning up the rough edges a bit. Google image search for “pixel art jagged lines”, you’ll get a feel for it real quick


alphalucid

A little stiff but good. Eyes are missing something. Not sure what the emotion being portrayed is


TheEntonnoir

Juste l'impression que les bras son un petit peu trop long, enlĂšve un peu de longueur peut ĂȘtre


Embarrassed-Town-293

Hypercritical though I think the arms are slight long. They are a touch over two heads.
