OK, ponytwins are absolutely adorable, and their colour scheme is very nice.

A question: would they have their cutie mark yet? It's kind of hard to gauge the age of ponies, but ten years seems a bit young. Hard to know, though.

I really like the "fighting?" twins picture. Made me laugh, and again very cute.

Ponies: I find Bart a bit corny-looking, and Lisa's hairstyle looks a bit weird on a pony, but other than that they look great, especially Milhouse. Interesting choice to have Nelson as a pegasus. The inking looks very professional, too.

Great work as usual, Nidotamer.

Well, the question of cutie marks was mostly why I left em blank on the second one...

And yeah, they kinda do. Bart and Lisa's hairstyles don't seem to translate well, what with their unusual structure and nonexistant hairlines...

Also got another silly doodle up.

That's a good point. I didn't actually think about that when looking at the second picture.

New picture: a bit sketchy (as in sketch-like, not creepy), maybe, but looks good. Also, it's nice to see more art with slightly minor characters like the twins and Janey.

Re: Artings- now taking requests

Post by Nidotamer » Sun Feb 03, 2013 5:43 pm

Well it's not like I tend to outline cutie marks, so even if I was planning to add them there'd be no way to tell.

Also, I wanna try and get a grasp on more characters and different ages and stuff so you know what?

I'm gonna take requests. Just ask for anything simpsons-related and I'll see what I can do.

These all look very good! I like your style. The first one is very sweet. Bart/Terri is an interesting idea.

Heh, female Bart... have you read Steve's (gkscotty) fic "Pretty Soldier Simpson Moon" by any chance, or was it an independent idea? :) Fun stuff.

The final one is very well drawn.

If I think of any requests, I'll be sure to send them your way.

Actually the female Bart was a direct request from Steve... not that I probably wouldn't have done it eventually. I'm odd like that.

okay, so a grownup Janey.
It's kinda implied her family's rich so my headcanon for older Janey is kinda someone who still gets support from her parents, has no job since she was born into wealth and doesn't really feel like it and kinda just does what she wants all day... which is thankfully nothing too crazy, develops expensive tastes and habits for the sake of it and is a bit of a flirt too.


From now on, I could take proper critiques though actually, sketchy redraws tend to be more helpful, basically so I can see exactly where I slip up. Would really love the help in that regard!

Looks good to me, if a bit sketchy (particularly the hands). I'm not sure I would have recognised it as Janey if you hadn't mentioned it, but that's partly because you're using your own style, and there's nothing wrong with that. Nice pose.

Interesting background for her character, too.

Y'know, the more I look at these drawings, the more I like them. They're unique, quick, clean, to the point, really nice.

I get such an enjoyment out of both the drawing and now the writing...I think if something happened to my hands and I couldn't use them anymore, I probably wouldn't live long.

Eh, this is kind of a scrap. Not so keen on execution but I liked the idea behind it. I really wish I had a better sense of narrative or how to string a story together since I really do get some decent ideas but no means to express them.
Basically in this case it's Lisa and Sherri living together. Room-mates? Odd couple? Who knows? It would be a fun situation though.
