Marisale says:

My monitor seems to be on its way out. I'm trying to get help fixing it, but currently the display is flickering and distorting so badly I can't really do anything.

Just for the record, I did manage to get my monitor fixed! Well, technically not, I had to get it replaced. What I thought was a dying monitor turned out to be a dying monitor AND frying graphics card. These things always happen in spectacular double whammies, don't they? It was a nice new graphics card, too.

On top of that, my hard drive decided to cook itself and I lost everything on it. Thankfully all my vitals - writing and the majority of my decent/finished-ish art - were backed up.

I'm also sorry for not updating as much as I used to. I'm sort of in the process of going back and learning everything I should've studied, and I'm loath to update with a picture that isn't somehow an improvement upon the last.

[Which leads me on to the titular question, if anyone reading this would be so kind as to answer:]

What do you think I need to improve on? Not so much little nitpicks, but big recurring things and general flaws. I try to have as critical an eye as possible when I look at my work, but it's blinded a little by the fact that it's my own work I'm looking at, and there's a lot about art that I don't know.

I've mainly been looking on ConceptArt.org for critiques and help with this sort of thing, but I'd like to hear some opinions from people here too.

Cheers, take care now.

HI!

Erm, random comment, haha.
I saw a comment of yours on [link] that said *has filipino blood* and thought "Hey, cool, so do I!" and thought I'd check out your page.
Then I saw you're in the UK, like me.
Then I saw you're kinda the same age as me (I'm 16)
Then I realised your username/name is Marisale which sounds FREAKISHLY similar to mine.

Just thought you might like to know =D XD

Pity the agnostic dyslexic insomniac, for he loses sleep wondering whether there really is a Dog.
