Fanarts, yes?

[ukiby_chan]

They are both 'sketchy' fanarts, but, oh well. Since I was talking to namuanmu about these and she seemed to like them, I thought I should give them a try here. There's a Meryl one and a young!Campbell one (that I happened to post some days ago over Y!Gallery).

I've just found out that these things are not really true on my body but as a general guide, your legs make up half your height, and the distance between the bottom of your palm to the tips of your fingers is roughly the same as from the bottom of your chin to your hairline.

But still super cool! :D What's the bigger story around the second one, if you don't mind me asking?

Ah, yes, the hands things I was aware of, but I never really 'noticed' that thing about the legs (I'm a terrible artist for not noticing that, I know XD).

Anyways, the silly, silly hustory behind that thing was that, I saw this type of 'meme' of Y!gallery that was about the 'Seven Deadly Fetishes' where you put the thing you like. So, I already has three themes: long hair, bandages and technology and I needed to find other four.

I was going to do all these with MGS characters you see (Raikov was the one that would take place on the long hair thing and Otacon was on the technology one). But, when I tried drawing Raikov and he looked horrid, well, I kinda got uninspired *haha*

Meryl has a lovely dress, and the way her hand is gripping the glass is nicely detailed. I think that, because she's Meryl, her neck could do with being a bit sturdier.

Another proportions note - human arms are freaking long, and while Roy's look okay Meryl's seem too short (though that could be a side-effect of giving her very long legs).

I must admit I freak out about arms way too much and I always think i'm drawing them 'way too long', so, they end up being too short.

Unfortunately, the opposite happens when I draw legs and I tend to do them way too long, and I don't even realize it.

I need balance in my drawings *haha*

I really like the first one. I think the other covered the critique well so I'll just say I really like how you drew Meryl's hair. =D

Sorry for the late reply!

I was reallt unsure about that hair, but I'm glad you liked it!
