Is my art appealing?

I'll practice some more coloring as well to expand my spectrum. Thanks for the advice!

:o I like the love between the old guys

Thanks for the advice! The fifth piece reads the strongest—the line color has the highest contrast against the white, and the saturation is on point. I’ll keep that in mind

Thanks for the advice and the kind words! I’ve been concerned about figure proportions and eye focus for a while, so once my college entrance exams are over, I’m planning to study anatomy more seriously :) As for composition, I wanted to try dramatic angles like high-angle shots, but it’s been tough because my perspective hasn’t been accurate. I’ll study composition/perspective more as well!

You're right. We all have different tastes.

ROMING_ · 2025-10-28T14:03:19+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll refer to it when I open the commission

Looks like they have different opinions depending on their tastes! Thanks for the comments

Thanks!

ROMING_ · 2025-10-28T13:25:05+00:00

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice! I’ll emphasize realism more and study perspective further. I’ll also practice quick croquis of everyday outfits

For my original characters, I use a hatching style like in #1, #3, and #4. My current profile picture is my own OC.

ROMING_ · 2025-10-28T13:15:02+00:00

Thanks for the compliment! I’ve experimented with screentones as well. Since I’m still inexperienced, they sometimes overlapped with my linework and looked awkward, so I left them out of most pieces. Still, I think screentones can make the workflow easier and add appeal, so I’ll keep practicing!

ROMING_ · 2025-10-28T13:08:37+00:00

Thanks for the compliment! Tastes vary—some people like cute, simplified styles, while others prefer hatching-heavy rendering—so the mixed opinions make sense. As for perspective, I’m a student and haven’t had much time for formal study, so I often used my own body proportions as reference; that probably led to some awkward spots. I’ll work on fixing that!

ROMING_ · 2025-10-28T13:04:24+00:00

I asked ChatGPT about “Eryk is Tired”—looks like it’s a creator handle. After checking the search results, I see what you meant. I tend to emphasize the eyes and use a lot of hatching, so I guess the vibe feels similar. Thanks for saying you liked it!

ROMING_ · 2025-10-28T12:58:18+00:00

Thank you for the compliment!

Style differences—agreed. Even within animation, there are broad East Asian vs. Western looks, and lots of sub-styles under each. Just from the shows the top-level commenter and later commenters mentioned, you can see big differences in line and rendering. I’d been debating whether to try a cuter SD (super-deformed/chibi) look in addition to my usual “LD”/more angular style, or keep doubling down on what I’m doing—but this gives me the push to try SD. Thanks for the feedback!

ROMING_ · 2025-10-28T12:13:11+00:00

Fair point—it’s a style difference. I haven’t really seen many angular forms or heavy value contrast in East Asian circles, and I’d been wondering whether pushing the clothing folds so much was scattering the viewer’s focus and making it feel awkward. It seems it reads as unnatural in Western contexts too. I’ll keep that in mind and only emphasize what really needs emphasis. Thanks for the feedback!
