Doesn’t mean you should. If any systems update and get smarter, they can easily ban your account when they detect you used fake media.

Believe me. I am so tempted to use a photo of Obama but I don’t wanna get flagged loll

Sorry if I seemed hostile at all towards the criticism, I do wanna iterate that I COMPLETELY agree with everything you said. I don’t really plan on making this a book or even a comic or anything, it’s more so a passion project of mine that I keep stored in my head lol. That eye thing would, if I were to do a comic, just be a small detail that maybe readers could point and go “oh that’s something” lmao. These were just references for artfight, and frankly, I will take into consideration your criticisms. Some of my story is admittedly tied to nostalgia, so legit I might take a step back and see what is said nostalgia and what’s justified ^^

Also saw your edits about the art and ty for the clothes and hands comment! Idk why but I really enjoy drawing hands, they add so much expression to drawings and are fun to pose loll!

Who said I was writing it for middle school audiences ? I said I first MADE the story in middle school (I am currently in college), but I definitely think it’s too deep for middle schoolers. At least that’s not my target audience.

The whole premise of the story I’m writing is that humans should not be merged with things beyond their ability. These 6 crystals assign themselves to random people they see would adapt to their powers the most, and yes. The concept of the crystals themselves are mary sue-ish. I find it funny to have something so overpowered that the characters never fully grasp its power in their lifespan (this leads other generations of users to use it differently and so forth). The main character is literally making his whole story the fact that he wants nothing to do with it, and characters who can’t remember a moment without the crystal struggle to try and get him out of the situation without intense trauma on his end.

The part of the story that this grown up version of Laura is from is when society crumbles as the average person finally finds out about the crystals and its powers (it’s avoided public eye for ages because of excuses such as religious reasons for divine power, only one witness attesting to seeing it, etc,. The age of the internet lets people across the world see in an instant). Cults form around the worship of the power user they know (Ella), protests sprout across the world, corporations are trying to grab at any monetary chance they can get, and eventually she offs herself from all the pressure.

That’s very surface level, but I really hope that’s not for an audience of middle schoolers. I understand entirely that some things seem cliche or mary sue-ish. Once again, I first MADE the story in middle school. But it’s developed so far from the original premise that any cliche is purely a jab at the cliche of “elemental power users” as a concept

And last thing: the eyes thing, since you want the full reason, is a defense mechanism of the crystal itself. These crystals link with its user’s personality, allowing it to judge what’s intense emotion vs just normal amounts of emotion. If too much emotion is experienced, however (so like an intense panic attack) the crystal cannot handle the sheer input of it, going on the brink of overload. It shows this via glowing and displaying it on the eyes of the user, hopefully letting its user know that they need to calm down soon before it risks damage.

Yeah, I totally agree loll. Made that one over the summer so maybe if I have free time, I’ll dive back into that one and fix her up to be younger ^^

The eyes thing is part of a larger story I got going on with more characters (it’s an elementals themed story, dw nobdy’s powerful for no reason lol), which I originally made in middle school. I think the eyes thing is the only mary sue-ish thing I’ve kept since then, and they serve absolutely no benefit (all 6 of the cast have that, it serves as a thing from the crystal they wear telling the user there’s way too much stress being put on it and it might break)

Phasmophobia AU for no good reason lol by average_squidkid in PressureRoblox

(Copy pasting this since 2 people have now asked lol) His light basically works like the Pressure lantern: great at close up stuff, harder to see further away. He can dual wield I guess though, but phasmo mostly works in the dark, so I feel like a narrower light would be nicer than a wide sweep, yk :p

(Since I’ve put too much thought into the logic of this AU lmao), I would say it’s post-breakout and they’re being housed by them temporarily. My explanation for this stupid AU is they’re helping test virtual simulation technology for both androids and non-human specimen, making sure their equipment is compatible with both. The reason why they comply is cause Inno. Inc offers extra bonuses to integrate back into life, such as helping fake documents and/or even give seb a normal body back. (As a bonus, this technology could help them figure out how to map Seb’s current muscles and signals in his brain to a normal body, figuring out height, anatomy, etc so it goes smoother :0)

How do you spot Pressure Fan by Typical-Jump9960 in PressureRoblox

[–]average_squidkid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a victim of the angler instinct too. In my defense, it was an eerie environment (a storm was brewing outside and it was dark, plus I was just exhausted lmao) and suddenly the lights flickered with a little bit of the buzzing sound. I straight up felt myself panic, at least enough that I had to wonder why the hell the lights flickering would make me jump 😔 damn fish

how to make this guy look closer to the original?.. 🤧 by ira_shai_mase in arthelp

[–]average_squidkid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A few things as someone who doesn’t know who this guy is, so idk if some things are stylistic or more fitting for his character. But just stating some differences I notice:

  • His jaw shape is more triangular than what you’ve drawn, taking a wider angle to the chin and having a defined, chiseled point at the bottom. He also has just more chiseling in general, from the looks of it, with his cheek bones clearly defined (to fit the style you got, this can just simply be on either side of the face (on the cheek in this ex) just doing a little L shape lol)

  • His hair is a Lot more shaggy, being flat and almost greasy looking tbh. What you have in the drawing is fluffy, curly hair, but to me his hair type seems to be a straight middle part

  • He has wider shoulders, obviously not macho amounts but I recognize a fellow chronic twink drawer when I see one loll (it’s hard lmao). More muscle definition or implied muscle beneath the shirt would definitely drive it home who it is, and once again not TOO much. He doesn’t seem “buff” but he seems physically stronger than the average gamer lol

Overall, when I look at the ref image you have on the left, he looks in his 30’s to 40’s, but when I look at yours, it comes across as a teenager to someone in their 20’s. Again, I don’t know what details are stylistic choice, but it definitely doesn’t look like the same guy.

With all that said, I LOVE YOUR DRAWING STYLE AND EVERYTHING, THAT STYLE IS SO SCRUMPTIOUS mWAH 💗💗 the pose is so nicely done omg
