Hello everyone. I thought I'd share my art with you.
Hope you don't think it's weird, but I have made lots of art featuring Midna from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Sometimes I mixed the character design with other characters.... and I'm rambling again. Sorry.
Here's a compilation of most of my Midna art.
This is what I drew when someone said '' draw a para-goomba with goggles ''.
I have some more art on the pile but the ones in this post are the less ugly ones . Just kiddin', I might post some more later.
Please give me critique .
IMPORTANT! From now, please do not vote if you do not react. And please tell me what was good/bad.

I'd love to boost your ego a bit and be nice, but I have to be honest...
it's utter CRAP, in my opinion. Midna looks horrible anyway, but you made her look worse, which is a hard thing to do. Not to mention the fact that you made a pathetic looking mushroom and a lazily sprited demonic zelda (is it zelda?).
The goombas look more like candy than goombas. The eyes are too close and too small, the mouths suck, the fangs point UP instead of DOWN, the wings are flat and dull, and the "goombas" themselves are too long/tall.
That is all I have to say. |

Personally, I believe that these are rather good. The only flaws that I must report are the goombas' fangs, and you could have done better with the shading of the wings. Apart from that, Awesome! |

Ah, thanks!
I'll admit the first reply gave me a hollow feeling in my stomach.
Edit.

I'll ignore your Midna critique since it's completely destructive and I advise you never to give such critique again. I'm not one to get angry but you know, some people might get hurt- and if you really feel the drawings are that bad, just... tell me exactly why and HOW TO IMPROVE or do not react, please.
Your Goomba critique is more or less better. The eyes are too close, ok, I'm with you there. The mouths suck? That does not help, does it now? There are many drawings by NINTENDO that have the fangs pointing up. The rest of your critique should have been explained in more details, as well. |

You are quite right. This art is pretty old, but yeah, I still need to improve. Thanks for your comment though. Could you tell me what to improve? |

The Midna without the hat scares me more than she did in-game. Not bad for pixel art. |

I like the goomba art, but I dislike the Midna artwork. What I suggest is working to improve her face and facial expressions; she has to have that mischevious, yet cute, look. I'd also say working on her proportions a bit more; she isn't that thin. |

Well, it's not totally bad, but it's not totally good either.....I think you should improve on your anatomy and shading. First of all, the anatomy is a little off in some places. You might want to use a reference picture if there's something that you can't seem to draw right. Secondly, the shading needs to be more visible and it need to blend more. The shading on your Midna pixel art is barely visible. Try to make your shading a little more visible, but not too visible that it's really noticable and looking out of place. On the Para-Goombas, I can clearly see the shading; but you should add more shades and high-lights to make the shading look better and more blended. Yeah, so if you improve on those, your pixel art will look a lot better. Trust me. |

The midna next to the mushroom is awsome.
The other midna, with the glove which really is... something (forgotlol) is creepy. Try to blend the orange and black together, if possible XD
The arms sort of.. Creepy me out to. Try to make them thinner, and add elbows. Er, well make the hand thinner to. The eyes are a little to round, in my opinion and the nose is also a little weird. I can't say much though. and the one next to the... red thing is awsome to.
I personally love the goombas, expect all you did to all of them besides the bottom on was just recolor. The bottom on you just changed the mouth. And shade them better... blend better, may I say, or add more shades in the middle. |
