Geravind: POMA's art-style detected.
Damn! Of course, you made those stains accidentally, did you?
Напоминает "сотри монеткой здесь", ага. =>_<=
Красяво).

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: Dat pic of Katia laying down, <3 adorable ^w^

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Dawww yus!

Kewot_Rokar: You done did gud

Man_Of_Mer: Lewd, crude, and in the nude.

Foxipso: I only learned about the contest two days before it ended, but I decided to do one anyway

Tahrey: :3

Kewot_Rokar: Well done!

Ladas2: Just a altenative from my last picture. I like how it looked without the border... and without a flamethrowing hand. Feel free to do what ever you want to do with it, if you want to.

Tahrey: Looks like an extra from RWBY or the like :D

Ladas2: @Tahrey: Hm..., guess that team KAQA. Katia, Aggy, Quill and Asotil. Would be a team funny picture ^w^

Tahrey: Now there's an idea for a spinoff. Pitch it to roosterteeth immediately. Divert the merch money to developing the project. Pretty sure no-one will mind.

FistHombre: @Strawberry-Jamasaur: Yeah, thanks a lot, admittedly I was very hesitant about uploading this in the first place but I'm glad I did since it ended up generating some very insightful discussion

FistHombre: @Armored-Struggle-Wagon: Oh, on a semi-related note, I think your Megaman-Prequel crossovers is the most kickass stuff ever(among with all of your claymodels really, they're all really impressive!), so I'd love to try drawing something inspired by that at some point

Mayrasiili: @FistHombre: Gonna give my two cents here as well, because I adore people who are ready, able and willing to learn. Of all the things that makes an artist, I think willingness to improve is one of the major traits. That might only be me, though.

First off, regarding the drawing itself: for someone who's just recently begun drawing (I presume?), you have a very clear way of drawing. It looks as if though you just mastered this on one go. Something that I can say that I totally can't do. It's awesome to see clear lines like that, but don't be afraid to doodle as well. As has been pointed out before, the proportions, angle and all the little things work for all intents and purposes. Sure, it's always nice to try some dramatic angles or weird poses or such, but honestly, what you have here, works. And that's all it needs to do. The little details like the hands and the belt clasp will work themselves out in due time, if you just take fifteen minutes out of a day to look up some pictures of hands and belts.

As for practicing drawing, I've got a few things to say. I'm hardly an expert myself (and I certainly have no mentionable education in art), but from my experience there are few things as important as having fun with drawing. I can totally relate to your wish to improve in certain aspects, but neglecting one's satisfaction and amusement over practice only works for some people, and requires an amazing amount of motivation. I'd really recommend what others have already recommended: work on what you want, otherwise you will work on something you -have- to. And such mentality can be crippling for an aspiring artist. Most of the time, anyway. I mean, I totally couldn't have pulled that off when I first started. I'm weak like that.
Anyway, what I wanted to say was to incorporate the practice you have to do to the things you want to draw. For example, you said you needed to work on hands and legs. When next time you draw something, be it whatever, just casually have a look at the hands and the feet, and give them some extra care. At least for me it has worked, since I get to work on what I want, but I also give that one extra thought to the thing I need to practice on.

Sorry about the massive wall of text, I am such a blabbermouth. Anyway, with a will to learn like yours, you're already well on your way to becoming quite the masterful artist!

FistHombre: @Mayrasiili: Thank you so much, don't worry about the text wall, I'm very grateful for any and all advice I can get! One thing I'm starting to realize is that it sounds pretty redundant to keep saying oh I need to work on this and that, anatomy/hands/shading/angles/etc because really I need to work on everything. Sure, I guess you could say I feel more confident making X than Y, so I'll focus more on Y but really at the end of the day I'm just going to try and focus on the whole thing. Not sure if what I'm saying is making sense, but either way, I really appreciate the feedback

Tahrey: Hang on ... is this Quill-Weave, The Simpsons/Futurama Years? :)

(yay differences in stylising)

Mayrasiili: @FistHombre: You're welcome, I'm glad if you managed to pick up something you could use from that horribly mangled pile of thoughts.
It does make sense, trust me. Keeping the whole of the picture in mind (in several ways) is always a good thing to keep at the very least at the back of your head.
And yeah, well... Sure it sounds redundant to keep saying things like "I need to improve on X because Y", but there's nothing wrong with it, I think. I mean, after almost six years, I still do that. If you're anything like me, it's kind of motivating to keep saying what you want to improve at.

FistHombre: @Tahrey: I can see the similarities now that you mention it, yeah. I do want to practice making more dynamic and actiony poses so I don't develop Family Guy syndrome or something where everyone is always on a stiff unmoving angle

Strawberry-Jamasaur: @FistHombre: Well if dynamic poses is what you're looking for, google images has no shortage of good reference images.

FistHombre: @Strawberry-Jamasaur: Well, Iv'e been trying to draw some poses from imagination but on a smaller scale and with more realistic proportions, using the method suggested by Olaffson, and I gotta say it is surprisingly helpful. Well, maybe it isn't surprising, I just didn't expect to feel so much more in control using it. If anyone is finding themselves in the same position as me, I'd strongly recommend trying out this method

Tahrey: Did somebody say DYNAMIC ENTRY?!

Olaffson: Holy Frack! I know they are pretty old but why no one ever commented on this artist's works?? D: They are amazing!
There are quite a lot of hidden gems in this gallery!

KillerfishSG: @Olaffson: There's no comments because the fan-art booru didn't exist back then! When Kazerad moved the fan-art over here, the comments on the original images were lost :(

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: It is pretty amazing.

Olaffson: @KillerfishSG: That explains! Quite a shame indeed. :|

Tahrey: KATIA DID AN ARTINGS

Tahrey: oh shit, otaku flamewar incoming

MetalC0Mmander: @Tahrey: Between a cat and a vampire. Nerds are wierd.

Tahrey: I don't see how that changes my statement in any way.

;)

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Turn A was pretty overrated now that you think about it.

Armael: Drew Ahnassi from morrowind and decided that I might as well make a katia, hence the edit tag.

MetalC0Mmander: I don't think that tag is appropriate unless you've redrawn a previously existing picture and not just deciding to change a picture while drawing it. So you decide if you want to keep the tag.

Kewot_Rokar: YES!

Tahrey: :-o

OppoQuinn: This is beautiful, well done!

AMKitsune: This texture work is simply sublime.
Not a word used very often, but very apt in this case.
Fantastic job :D

Radian: Really nice job and wonderful colors!
But I think neck a little too long.

Geravind: The background and the character suit each other very well.

Geravind: @Radian: Artists, which depict high collar, usually lose character's neck proportion.
This one put a ton of efforts for proportions and shapes of his first (in entire life) art work.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Nicely done!

FistHombre: Some practice after heeding some advice I got on my last upload

In case the angle isn't coming through, and I think it isn't, she's suppoused to be sitting on a rock

FistHombre: The background enviorment is also very crude, I just thought it felt too empty with just blankness so I attempted to fill the void a bit

Tahrey: Ees' ver' nais.

Kat needs to turn around and stuff some of those potentially magika-restoring mushrooms in her mouth though.

FistHombre: @FistHombre: http://s7.postimg.org/6ku0qci3f/potentiallymagicaregenerating.jpg WOW GOOD IDEA TAHREY

FistHombre: And I just replied to myself, even gooder idea
