I'm not bashing it, bashing it is like "OMG THIS SUCKS LOL LOL LOL!!!!!" Criticism is "okay this artwork has some good and bad parts but for the most part it was bad".

Um... let's try not to turn the nice little FanWorks thread I started (and that is still miraculously going strong) into another flame-fest thread, shall we?

...And for the record, Shinpan's stuff is awesome. All of it. I wish oh wish that I could capture the look and feel of the DragonBall world the way she does.

I for one LOVE Announcer "guy"'s artwork. She is on my deviantart watch. And her style defintely takes us back to Toriyama's older style.

No art is perfect, and critiques can be appreciated if done maturely and well.

So as a critique of a critique

1) USING "CAPS," LARGE FONT, AND RED LETTERING CONNOTES ANGER RATHER THAN EMPHASIS. So you appear to be flaming someone.

2) Although the briefs picture may appear "ugly" to you. As you have noted, she has not drawn them often, so perhaps she needs to practice them more. You cannot assume the artist's motive- that she does not like the family and saying things like you are better of not drawing them at all is irrelevant to the actual drawing.

3) There are better descriptive words than "ugly," "bad," "worthless" and "crap." These words convey a lot of "negativity" rather anything constructive. I would say "I'm not sure what you are going for with the pirate ship. You may consider taking it from the picture as it distorts the focus of the piece."

Android 18, it seems that English may be a 2nd language to you. And whether or not you realize it, you should know that many of your comments do appear like "bashing." So next time be a little less Simon Cowell and more Sister Wendy.

Lastly, Announcerguy is a very popular artist on deviant art. You seem to have very high standards and I doubt few will meet it 100%, even the big man hismelf.

Oh. Thought I'd just stop by and add one little thing. Neko Majin Z is totally based on DBZ. Throughout the whole mini series, various Dragon Ball characters show up, as well as new ones that relate to DBZ..INCLUDING THE SON FAMILY.

The Son Family IS featured in Neko Majin Z. Kindly point yourself to the last couple pages of Neko Majin Z Chapter 5 kplzthx.

If you're gonna yell at someone for featuring someone in a certain piece of work, at least check your sources.

No one needs to make a artwork to criticise a artwork thats like saying good movie critics need to make movies to be a critic.






I for one LOVE Announcer "guy"'s artwork. She is on my deviantart watch. And her style defintely takes us back to Toriyama's older style.

you think thats toriyama's style?

You cannot assume the artist's motive- that she does not like the family and saying things like you are better of not drawing them at all is irrelevant to the actual drawing.

i've never said i knew the motives but looking at the picture i've made my mind too say that ms. announcer is a son family fan, which will influence the art that he/she makes. i can't really say if she's bashing them or not but i can tell you that she did made them ugly.

3) There are better descriptive words than "ugly," "bad," "worthless" and "crap." These words convey a lot of "negativity" rather anything constructive. I would say "I'm not sure what you are going for with the pirate ship. You may consider taking it from the picture as it distorts the focus of the piece."

No i ment that the pirate ship was a unuseful addition, i can go back and edit the post later if you wish but that won't change my opinion.

Android 18, it seems that English may be a 2nd language to you. And whether or not you realize it, you should know that many of your comments do appear like "bashing." So next time be a little less Simon Cowell and more Sister Wendy.

You're a bit right cantonese was my first language but that doesn't have anything to do with this, my comments aren't bashing read this for example.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1000607 ... have_eyes/ Theres a review "As for Aja's future in horror he better find some original material because hitching a ride on other people's glories will always be the other's glory." bashing is again.... like saying "this sucks". i've might have only said how i didn't the artwork then the positive things i thought about it but that does not comply with bashing

Lastly, Announcerguy is a very popular artist on deviant art. You seem to have very high standards and I doubt few will meet it 100%, even the big man hismelf.

This was not about artists i was talking about the artworks not the artists, i've never said that it needs to be One hundred percent perfect i'm saying that the artist has some good and bad parts thats why i made criticism and said that i atleast liked some of the artworks.



Oh. Thought I'd just stop by and add one little thing. Neko Majin Z is totally based on DBZ. Throughout the whole mini series, various Dragon Ball characters show up, as well as new ones that relate to DBZ..INCLUDING THE SON FAMILY.

No neko majin z might be based on it but the main character is not goku, characters might have been showed but i'm not saying the son family shouldn't be in there, i'm saying that neko majin SHOULD BE THE MAIN PERSON IN THE ARTWORK NOT GOKU, i did not say that the son family shouldn't be there

The Son Family IS featured in Neko Majin Z. Kindly point yourself to the last couple pages of Neko Majin Z Chapter 5 kplzthx.
Read top statement please.

If you're gonna yell at someone for featuring someone in a certain piece of work, at least check your sources.
I've checked my sources and saw Neko Majin Z thats why i said the neko majin and the kid thats following him in the whole story the one with the stick, should be the main person in the picture not goku.

Android18, langauge has a lot to do with this. That's why so many of us are taking offense to your comments.

Here is a dictionary defintion of "to bash":
To criticize (another) harshly, accusatorially, and threateningly

You critize rather "harshly," and you make yourself out to be a jerk. You imply she draws "ugly" because she "hates" those characters. It's not like she's putting horns on them and giving them the finger.

Should I say, "your opinions are mostly bad. I only like four thigns form it. You need to be more precise in your details. Otherwise most of what you say is worthless." That is the general tone of your comments. See how that reads?

And yes, I would say her style mimics Toriyama's older style. That is my opinion, and in your reply, posing it back as a question is insulting. Again, this is probably due to your lacking in English langauge written skills, otherwise you are just a jerk.

I didn't say she drawed ugly, i said i didn't like some things in her drawing.

i'll try to be that way next time

Toriyama's old style does not use color and its more round then pointy.

Uhmm... yeah... you said it like 5 times in two sentences. :roll:


Anyways, can we stop with this? Reading it over with so much bad grammar, and lack of common sense is about to give me a seizure...

Who cares how anyone draws... seriously... It's all in the eye of the artist. And if they think that something like this looks good, then it looks good. Coming here and telling them that they have no talent, and that they're drawings are ugly, and that they're being subjective to the original content (which is beyond me... I could draw Vegeta in a bunny suit, stabbing Goku in the eye with a chimichanga, and it wouldn't matter... all that matter's is the art, who gives a damn if Goku isn't the main character in Neko Majin Z -____-), is just ridiculous.


They're all kickass drawings, an giving them ridiculous critique is hardly the thing that this thread is for...

Now for goodness sake, let's eat some cake.

Oh wow, yeah, let's do that....

Android 18: I'm sorry if some of my pictures have caused you intense displeasure. and you are free to express those opinions. However I feel that some of your critique regarding my choice of subject was not appropriate since it's each person's right to express what they choose regardless of accuracy etc. I realize that you don't like Gokuh but I don't think that bias should enter into your evaluation of other's work.

Also, I could be wrong, but in what I've seen you post so far, you seem to go out of your way to write excessively negative comments and this keeps me from taking your criticism completely seriously.

Here i summed it up.

*The pirate ship was un-needed
*the shape of the wave was a bit errr...... bad in style?
*goku looks too brown he's more like tan
*it be better if you didn't have that heart near the Mr.A
*In your neko majin picture the main focus of Neko majin was the cat you putting goku as the bigger character in the picture makes it seem like its goku that was the main person not the cat and his friend wait you didn't even include his friend
*the blue thing that the guy was wearing in one peice was a bit..... gay
*you use too much light colors then dark colors creating a imbalance don't make it too light
*you're not a brief family fan but you sure made them ugly, vegeta doesn't have those marks and plus bra's eyes is strange and trunks looks dull
*too much colors too much colors too much colors


these are small art criticism that i've posted and a bunch of idiots came here saying that i was flaming.

I think this 'critique' is stemming from jealousy. :? Mr. A's artwork is awesome. She has a brilliant, imaginative mind.




THE END.





If I haven't been 'critiqued' by Android 18 yet, then my stuff must be freakin' amazing...

It is Steven it is. Really though, she's said what's she thought and now keeps saying it, and hasn't pointed out a good thing about any of it or said how she could make it better.

In all honesty though, who cares what Android 18 thinks? Everybody else has said it's brilliant and I agree.

Mr. A's artwork is good but i've only said some things i didn't like about it dumbass, oh oh where did i say that if i don't criticize something then its amazing?
Where did you get the idea a was jealous? did i show any art? No thats because i don't do art but that was prevents me from typing 300 words and how i didn't like this and that.
THE END.

Android18 Lmao, stop it please. I just asked you to show some of your artwork if you had any. :roll:

This is a nice thread let's not have such arguements here and move on.


Anyhow. I've noticed that when I scan my artwork onto the computer, things aren't as clear and bold, and instead my artwork is rather dull, and the lines unclear at times. Does anybody know a solution to this? Is it my scanner? ( fairly new actually ) or do people usually use photoshop to clean it up. Thank you in advance.
