The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Since I never get to share since on the other forums I go on don't seem to like TLBT X3;; I know they're bad since I just started drawing them, but I guess I'd like to share it with ya guys, and critique is always appreciated ^^

I'm still drawing LBT stuff, but not much recent since I'm still handing out fanart for my friends on another fandom, and it's taking a ton of space on my HD X3;;

Like all of the other members here, you have a distinctive style in drawing these characters, which I like to see. :) I did notice a few things:
  • You seemed to have a thing with making the characters' heads too big.
  • Littlefoot's neck seemed to be drawn too long in one picture.
  • Tricial looked a little mad at someone. :p
  • I learned Tropicalia's species. :D
Every member seems to have their own style in art, and I enjoy viewing them. :)

Hello:
 You are not the only one with that bad habit :lol . But I'm happy that you do these drawings and I know you'll get better and better in no time. Keep it up!

Looks like you do good artwork.  Keep drawing and you'll get better.  Maybe some artist here can share tips with each other.

I'd say the #1 character you need to work on is Ducky (I know, it's hard getting her face right).  The other one's have some minor imperfections, but nothing that can't be cured by more practice! :yes

Oh man!  When I saw that pic of your fancharcter and Guido hugging eachother, my mind started to brainstorm and now I'm forced to ask ONE simple question...

Can I please use your charcter for my story?  I'm seriously trying to find a way to put Guido in and this idea would be perfect! :^.^:

Anyways, great job on your fanart!  Keep it going! :)

You are fishlover? I spotted your art on deviantart before :yes
There is really some excellent LBT artwork.
If it comes to constructive criticism I can only repeat what has already been pointed out about the proportions especially with regard to the heads.
I know very little on how to work with photoshop but I hope to do something about that too. It is the work of fanart artists like yourself and many others we are blessed with in our community that makes me really curious about getting the hang of photoshop.

You mean you draw the outline of the head first? Or do you start with something on the head, like an eye or the mouth?

AHHHH!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

You're fishlover! The Lilo & Stitch #1 fan in dA I know! :o I actually can't believe you found this forum! I LOVE your LBT fanart. Not to mention your 625 & your fanchar Moody. Glad to have you here!

Sorry if I overacted. but you're one of the artists I admire the most in dA, besides Hakunaro (Sky). :lol:

Good for you to post your LBT fanart. It's wonderful!

<3 Love that fanart, just as much as I loved it on your forum and Deviantart. Like the others here are saying, I like the fact you've got a distinct style of your own when approaching them, but we still know exactly who they are.

Awesome work. =D  I'm curious to see if you did anything with your land before time fan-characters for valentines. I forgot to ask on the other site.  :lol
