It's hosted on Photobucket which automatically reduces the resolution of images to be 800x600 or less to keep the brandwidth down. Now if you mean the 'drawing quality,' I'm going to have disagree with you there. The colors of their attacks have a nice blending to it and the parts that overlap between the colliding beams is nice. Look closer and you can see quite a bit of detail was put into their outfits: all the triangle-pieces on Nanoha's Barrier Jacket, the ruffels and wrinkles on Marisa (?)'s apron and dress. Not to mention the clothing is drawn in a way to depict movement from the rush of opposing air from the attacks rather than being in a static arrangement. Body proportions also look to be pretty good. Nope, I see a well drawn image here

Hate to say it but as much as I love the Clannad I don't think someone would want to draw Tomoya as Vice
Tomoya X Nagisa > SubaTea >>>>>>>>> ViceTea Tomoya has has same resemblance to the similar of Subaru's hair lolz Quote:

Right, before the first thing. @Evil Rick: Well, it is special because it's a Nanoha/Touhou crossover pic, and a Master Spark VS Starlight Breaker pic at that. Brilliant for us Touhou freaks, so it's just us - if you ain't know nothin' 'bout Touhou, it ain't none of yer beeswax, 'kay? And anyway, when looking at a piece of art, as an artist one should be considering what one can take away from it and critque it in a way that's actually useful, rather than merely 1) fangirl/boy/whatevering over it, or 2) disparaging it. That's just unsavoury, even if you were as good as Michelangelo, which I doubt anyone here would boast to be. Even the masters used reference pictures. Alright, now, the main meat of the post: ...Well, my friend, it is clearly an amateur drawing... Firstly, we don't really have that much data on what the Touhou girls look like, only the work of skilled, experienced artists who are way hell out of the league of a lot of people. For all you heck know, the appearance could straddle the distance between a loli and a shoujo on any given place in the spectrum. In that sense, I don't really see too much problem with her arms being short. Secondly, I don't see how "something drawn by a ten-year-old" isn't already a demeaning statement. Lots of people live down seven times that number of years without being able to reproduce anything of that standard; so, then, may I kindly ask, what are they if this person is the artistic equivalent of a 'ten year old'? I think that in posting comments for pictures, one should post as if the artist were present, and in this case, I believe a "needs a little more practice" followed by a list of credits and cons would've been more appropriate rather than a quip, no matter how innocently intended. Lastly, I do see some place for credit on this picture that more than likely outweighs the obvious structural errors. In truth, I don't think a ribbon here and something there is the most important thing in art, especially of this sort. The basic main skills required by a fanart are, by and large, are actually there, albeit in a form that needs quite a bit more practice (If you're out there dude, I'm talkin' to ya - keep practicing!  ): Sure, the digital whatnot is more than a little faulty, I'll grant you that, but otherwise it's a fair imitation, amateur though it is, spoiled only (and only, I emphasize) by the fact that the artist took the trouble to color it as well.As I would say, there's fanart, and then there's fanart. |

All right, then, I believe this artist requires a fair degree of additional practice. Did that sound better?
Granted, the "ten year old" statement was a little harsh, and probably a by-product of my disbelief at the fiery defence for an inferior image (especially one posted in a thread with so many high quality images). Still, the fact that it illustrates a crossover does not magically raise its artistic quality, nor would I argue that Touhou characters having vaguely defined designs make poor proportions any more pleasing to the eye. Since it is an amateur drawing, of course its low quality can be excused, and for what it's worth, I do think the detailed outfits look pretty authentic and I'm sure the artist will improve much with more experience. But I think you're giving him too much credit by saying the colouring job is the only part that subtracts from his work. Seriously, Nanoha's face needs a lot of work.

I'm sorry if I made it sound like I thought that vague definitions = it's okay to draw proportion funny. I was probably thinking too much on the lines of "well, it's an amateur piece", so I suppose I dropped my...(if I may be so bold as to use the term) standards unconsciously back there. Funny how we both said rather silly things under the influence of some reactionary backlash thought-process, mmm? Anyway, I don't remember saying being a crossover raised its artistic quality; I just said it's rare, and therefore has explanatory power in rationalizing why some Touhou-infested denizens of ASNanoha raised a REDTEXT spam over it. (As a matter of fact, I believe this is exactly the phenomenon that sparked Rick's response, and thereby this whole sidetrack in the first place.) Um hum...on second glance, the lower half of her face is indeed kinda messed. And their expressions aren't intense enough. And the skirts are flying the wrong way. And- Alright, thanks for the reminder, Sol; I really am becoming a little too rusty in my art critiques. I need to get back to my drawing table, and fast...and then maybe I'll come back here with my pictures and you can rain fire on me when it happens! *checks my post again* Crap, I deleted the line that said "(But you can tell from the faces as to whose fan the person is)". It was my funny line too!
