I'll be coloring this hopefully sometime soon, considering that I have no color pencils...
And I try my best at Shading when I can, but I'm not exactly a master at it. But practice makes perfect, as it's often said, and I greatly appreciate your feedback!
And thank you for the compliment on the lines. Due to my tendonitis it's extremely hard to keep my hand steady, so it's hard for me to hold ink pens/pencils for too long. @A@
That's rly an adorable pic !!
The style itself is simple so I'm not really sure about how to critique hmm...
Well, I like your lineart in general lines, it's very firm and constant. Also, you have a good idea 'bout basic anatomy !!
I would suggest you to don't leave the eyes fully-black. Some highlights as you did in Merengue's would be cool in the other ones too, don't you think so? ^^ and I'm not sure... but I feel that Cheri and Ankha are a little "squeezed" at the corner... to a next drawings maybe would be nice to better distribute the chars in the canvas? I'm not sure, sorry if this was the idea you wanted !! ; v ;
I hope I wasn't too pushy !! Trying not to be !! > 3 <//
Not at all! The truth is, I recently got Cheri and Ankha, which is why they're squeezed in there. Another reason why I have them like that is to portray the personalities I have given them in my head. Cheri is a little silly bear cub who is childish and gets into a lot of trouble, which Merengue always corrects.
Ankha seems distant and when asked about her egyptian past, she simply goes cold and quiet, which is nothing new from her usual cold quietness.
Thank you so much for the critique, and yeah, I do have to do better with proportioning the characters to the page.
Also, yes, I thought it would be a good idea to give highlights to the eyes, but by the time I thought about it, I had colored in everyone's eyes But Merengue's, Ahaha. I'm going to see if my metallic sharpie will help alleviate this problem.
Also, I adore your Mayor/Persona, Mr.Tiaa. <3 I've seen them before in a few art threads.

Also I forgot to mention, originally, this was just going to be a picture of Carmen. Then my hand slipped. xD
Oh I see !! The way you portray their personalities are actually really cool ^^ Thanks for letting me know. See villaegers as real chars n stuff is such a precious thing!!~~
Ok, good luck w/ the higlights and not a problem !! I'm glad my comment was helpful somehow, and that I wasn't pushy at all ;;
Also aaaawn thank yoou !! I'm glad you like my Mayor !! Means a lot to me !! ^ 3 ^))//
