I think the rendering could be a bit tighter, and I think the leaves don't feel like they're making up enough of the design,
PLUS, I don't know how I feel about the horns coming out over the screen

Still not 100% sold on my VTuber design. I did some quick sketches trying to explore different variations, and eventually different rendering styles.
Folks like my original (Right), but I'm not 100& sold on it

Curious, but is there a space online to find pixel artists in particular? I'm thinking of getting some custom creatures for my Twitch's Stream Avatars

I was never happy with how my Mongols came out in terms of colouring and rendering. Trying to figure out how to make it work

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

Streaming is always a moderately stressful experience for me.
But I always enjoy it when I get to talk to folks about interesting topics and art, it gives me really nice perspectives and new things to chew on that I don't think you get from skeets and such. Definitely makes it worth it.

Lately my websites have been filled by traffic from China. And now Chinese artists viewing me on LinkedIn too, so I assume it must be that my work got some attention there or something.
I wish I knew what it was, I'm assuming it must be nice! If you're one of them. Hello ๐

Because it tells them what they want to hear. It's painfully enabling in a world that tells them they're wrong and ordinary, when AI will tell them they're special and see the world beyond our mortal eyes.

Folks, I am looking for some art inspiration. Specifically something more feminine or 'shoujo', but this isn't my area of expertise.
Could you think of any artists or games or projects I could take a look at that might be some good direction? :)

So, Senshi just looks exactly like me at this angle then.
This is setting up frankly expectations that are far too high to live up to.
