SURPRISE BUTTSECKS
I actually found myself getting quite choked up while mamking this o_o
Yeah...
Click the picture for full-size.
Here's the story: Michael (Ampharos Morph) and Nikki (Espeon Morph), lovers, in the midst of a Rocket Camp infiltration with the rest of their rag-tag team. Michael makes it out alive, but Nikki isn't as lucky...
She gets shot full of holes, and dies in Michael's arms.

Wow...that's so sad, but beautiful. That is true love man. You are an excellent artist and the lyrics are awesome. That is true love right there. I am glad you are one who puts his heart into his work. Keep on drawin' man. :)

You really caught the mood in this pic. I have to say though that the guy's mouth looks as though he's smiling oO
Amazing sketch.

I can't see that... At ALL. I see him choking back tears, and that's aout it >_>

If I can find my other depressing pic, I'll post that soon, as well. Thanks for the comments! It makes me feel like my Emo Pit is not so deep anymore >_>

Wow, that's really great! The clothes you drew seems to be almost realistic. I like the way you drew Nikki's face. Kudos to ya!

Ah, I can see the lines in greater detail now. Ouchies! Poor Nikki! :( She's full of bullet wounds. Anyway, still such an awesome picture from an awesome artist. :) If I were to try to find fault with you, I'd just emberrass myself and make me look like an idiot. >_<

I think it's really bad, there's something that looks so stupid about the Ampharos tail.

So...just because you think the Ampharos tail looks stupid, that makes the whole picture bad? LOL what a wonderful reason, I applaud you on your wonderful logic :)

I think it's pretty good, in a way the guy does look like he is smiling, but on a closer look it seems like he is more or so biting his lip. It's a bit sketchy, but that's really my only crit. The anatomy looks good, and the expressions on their faces really gives a nice feel to the sadness of the picture.

Nice choice of a song to go along with it =)

If I could find the Dragonite-anthro version of my ex-girlfriend, I'd post that too. Since she looks really sad in that pic, too.
I'm just a big bundle of angst.
And DriveshafT? Get the fuck out of my thread. First and only warning, or I'm reporting you to a mod. I don't put up with such blatent acts of bullshit. Thank you.

I'd agree, but you're also breaking rules by evading the swear filters. >_>

TEH-MEH!!!
Nice sketching! You've got the anatomy right but not quite spot-on. To me the espeon-morph Nikki looks to me she has a slight bigger head than she should have. Erm, Michael's tail looks a little out of place, maybe just needs some more shading so that it looks like it is curling outwards. Erm, thats it really. Think everyone has covered the other points. Nice work Clockworkz!
 
Its an okay picture, but I see some mistakes.

First, I agree with the people who say that the guys mouth is off. Maybe make his mouth look more like the girls in that its just slightly open and that should help convey the sadness.

You need a lot of work on drawing muscles. The guy's arm looks as if two ballons were stuck in there. Try looking on google for pictures of people with lots of muscles or something.

The girls hand is very stiff. I know hands are one of the hardest things to draw. What helped me with drawing hands was that I studied my own hand and looked at how the fingers curved, etc. Try doing that the next time you are drawing hands. Also, her face seems to jut out too far, but I know she's an Espeon Morph so you probably wanted it to look like that.

Both of their tails look off. The Espeon morph's tail bends at a really awkward angle and the Ampharos morph's tail is too straight, try to make it curve more sort of like how this parenthesis curves (

I really like the idea for the picture though. It is very moving and sad.

Nice picture! The tails either make it look slightly off or even more fitting, I can't decide which. Nikki's head looks slighlty off, but I'll live with that.

I'm a man of few words so I don't know what else to say except great work, and I hope you make some more similar sketches in the future.

I made her tail kinda limping, since she's, yknow... dying =P >_> ;_;
I didn't notice the problem with her head.
I think her hands are very accurate; its a tough pose to do. Her fingers are on his shoulder, but in a way that the topmost knuckles on her fingers are bent over his shoulder; it's tough to describe. Also, I barely know what an Ampharos even looks like; I'll probably fix up the tail though. Thanks for pointing that out. And I have to disagree about the shoulders thing. I asked my family members about that; my sister is a professional artist (as well as my dad), and told me that they looked fine; my dad agreed with her. So, I dunno. I'll take the word of pros in the arrt field, rather than you, no offense :) Also, no one else I know really complained about the mouth. I think it looks perfectly fine.

I think it's good. The guy's tail is a bit odd though, and the girl's tail looks a bit more broken than it does limp. Anyway, I can definetly tell that you tried, and I feel sad just looking at the picture. (As in that I feel sorry for Micheal because he's losing his girlfriend) Anyway, I hope you keep drawing like this. ^_~ You're pretty good.

I actually think the muscles on the male look pretty nice. They look nothing like balloons o_O; Infact they look how muscles should in a cartoon sense.

The only thing bad about her hand is that her fingers are a bit thin, other then that it's just fine.

Well you got my crit over AIM, so I'm not going to bore you with much more of it. Nikki just seems to always get the raw end of the deal, it's really sad. Yeah you got an emotion out of me. Bravo. It is full of expression, I like it.
