Vision: Excellent as always. I love how you always seem to know what you want from the early construction lines - something most obvious on your YouTube presentations, but also in the quality of your finished work. You know what you want, you go for it, and your execution is gorgeous.

You specifically asked that we don't crit the fanart aspect of this, so let's talk about your background. Adorable and vibrant, this is a type pf background I really wound expect to see in any sort of Gundam piece, not even a chibi. It's a pretty standard type of background, but when you look closer you see a surprising complexity in the pattern. I like that. Beyond that, the various shades of pink and purple are a little surprising, but suitable nonetheless; it sets off the character nicely without any sort of detraction.

I love how you used shading to define the nose; actual lines would have been too harsh for this character, so it was a good choice. The shading on the clothes is also well-handled, and the hair for the most part. I WOULD like to see a little more highlighting along the individual 'clumps' of hair, but the shadows look great. The eyes are also prettily highlighted, and of course I'm a fan of using a darker shade of the eyecolor for the pupil. The foreshortening on the right (our left) leg is good for the most part; I only suggest moving the foot up a little more, to obscure more of the leg, and lengthening the character's left leg a little more. This IS a difficult pose and angle, and you actually did a pretty good job on it (and kudos for having the guts to try it - I've been avoiding it). One last thing - the glasses, and the dilution of color behind them, lood great!

Overall, very nice. It's a cheerful little picture that just makes me smile. ^_^ And, more importantly, it's fanart with a recognizable character, but also recognizable YOURS. I could pick your stuff out of a line-up anytime, and I love and respect that.
