Just because I had this sudden urge to draw woobie!Rodney.






ETA: I posted this to the comm and I said in there criticisms are welcome, and I feel the need to elaborate. If you're not comfortable with giving me that openly, you can always e-mail me at steampunks at gmail dot com. If it's not from malice, you can always tell me "this sucks" variety. It will not make me stop drawing and posting at my own journal but it could make me more considerate about and possibly stop posting at the comm, I guess.

Awww, thank you! I love woobie!Rodney. His eye sizes are like indicator.

I didn't particularly use reference for this one, though I usually use references heavily. But I've been staring at dozens of woobie!Rodney screen caps before I drew it, so I'm pretty sure my subconscious probably picked something up from there.

Thank you for your lengthy and thoughtful feedback. I agree with you on the cuff of his jacket on his right side arm, I should've drawn a puff around it. His thumb on the left appears to be a bit long to me too; I wouldn't think DH has that long thumb, but I don't really know for sure, either. :) I drew this pretty quickly, and not with much thought, so I can see all the flaws in this one more clearly than usual, though I strangely like this one (well, at least for now). It was a great criticism and a very helpful one, especially more so that it's coming from you. Thanks again. XD

It's so rare for people to actually ask for contructive criticism. I know that if I ask for it, in general, I don't recieve it. I'll ask specific people for beta advice (more so now that I've become friends with a few artists rather then when I was just startig out), but more often than not, I know where the flaws are or where something isn't quite working out in a given picture I've posted, but I've just given up on fixing them XD (woe, for I am a lazy artist. so very very lazy)I think it's very admirable and courageous for you to put yourself out there like that. It shows that you're here to enjoy yourself and to improve. And that's completely awesome. Not like some artists I've met who ask for criticism but don't actually want to hear it.

For certain, if you ever have anything you wanted looked over, I'd be more than happy to help :)
You are so filled with cool.

I'm happily surprised by the feedback I've got, because I know it's hard to give. I know I would be hesitant to criticize someone else's art, since not only I'm bad at it, I also know that for people doing something that even remotely considered as creative work, it could be a very touchy subject. It was so awesome to receive it. And I admit that asking for criticism was more like the consequence of too much caffeine and nicotine, and it was like 3 in the morning. :) I also kind of ignore the problems a lot, rather than just fix it. Laziness is my nature. And sometimes it's just driving me crazy to look at it anymore. I am totally blushing at your compliment, and that was the sweetest offer. I'll keep that in mind. You are the one who filled with cool and awesomeness. Thank you so much! <3
