I did my best with this picture though, and even if in my head I saw many flaws in this picture, my skill isn’t good enough to improve it. This is for now the best I can yet do. But having honest and not hateful feedback, I can improve. But they were just criticizing for the sake of, although I’ll take some things to heart like I’ll work on my faces.

@saturnstar14  
It’s nice that the commissioner liked it and all, but if you’re aware that the picture can be improved, wouldn’t it be better to do so instead of just going “Eh, good enough?”

@Zharkaer  
Like I said, it’s not the first time I had anons criticizing my art just to plain hate on it. And the deleted comments were just plain hate, no useful stuff anymore.
 
And I responded to the critique, I know there is plenty wrong with the picture but the guy that paid me liked it so that’s enough for me.

Of all the ways to respond to criticism…

@Zeb  
Thank you :)

If you have an issue with the artist, then you’re welcome to filter the tag artist:saturnstar14 and never see their work again. You don’t need to comment about it.

@Background Pony #D4B3  
I can see plenty wrong with this picture but the person who commissioned it was happy with it. Again, go to Articunos-bitch and tell them to ask their money back if you really think they don’t deserve this.
 
And yeah, of course I’m not taking anything anonymous to heart, it’s not the first time I’m facing someone that’s hating on me because I hated on Toxic. Plus it’s just plain cowardly and easy to tell what you think behind an anon face. If you want to go that way, so be it but you just gave me reason to report your comment as it didn’t have anything to do with my picture :) (this goes to both BG ponies there)

@Background Pony #D4B3  
Well, go to Deviantart and tell Articunos-bitch that he needs to ask his 35 dollars back. You probably won’t do that because you want to stay anonymous.
 
I post examples of my pictures together with my prices, if people wouldn’t like it then they wouldn’t buy it.

Heads on middle and rightmost characters do not attach properly to their necks at all. Is middle character toothless? You should see at least a tiny bit of teeth. I bet you didn’t want to draw such a protruding jaw either. There’s something very wrong with middle character’s left hand too. I can’t even say which side of palm it’s supposed to be. And these characters look very, very, very flat. Please, don’t believe the shading is fine. It looks very unfinished and messy. Let’s assume you got principles right but you didn’t make it look good. Shading colors are a bad choice too. You shouldn’t shade with black or color burn tools. You should read about color theory. This shading looks really bad. If you attempt soft shading you need to do it well or not at all. Otherwise you get what you get. Plus, the background in this picture is very bland and lazy. Leftmost character’s left hand is wrong. You messed up the thumb horribly. Just look at reference pictures of hands or your own hand. Frankly, there are more issues with this picture but I’m gonna stop here cuz I know you’re gonna go all defensive anyways saying your picture is great cuz your friend told ya that. Sorry if that sounds rude of me but I can’t believe someone paid real money for this pic. It might be an acceptable practice picture but definitely not a commission material.

@Background Pony #D4B3  
The shading isn’t wrong and do tell me what is wrong about the anatomy because for me it looks about right.  
You can easily say it’s wrong without saying what. Maybe the head is a bit too big and the face isn’t exactly to point yet as I’m still practicing human faces.But I can’t see anything else very wrong with the picture.

Human anatomy in this artist’s pictures is always all over the place. They look so flat and thin. The shading is all wrong. Better stay with cartoon cellshading if you can’t do soft shading properly. I can’t believe someone paid for it. Anyone can pay for whatever they want but I don’t think it’s a commission-level quality.

@ShimmeringGloriously  
Commission from someone, I don’t really know all of it but they have had me doing several pictures in this AU already.

@saturnstar14  
May be interesting.  
I noticed you are the artist. Nice (except for the sign in the middle but whatever.)  
From where do that come? A fanfic?

@ShimmeringGloriously  
Because it’s an Alternate Universe where Littlepip and Red Eye are married.

@saturnstar14  
I don’t see when or how this scene can take place.

@ShimmeringGloriously  
Yup

Is the guy in blue coat Red Eye?
