Artist's Comments
Color of this insanely adorable lineart ( [link] ) by =lerato . Organization m-preg normally bothers me on a subliminal level, but as long as it is this well drawn and I can rationalize it by saying Vexen and his basement lab were somehow involved, I kind of like it. So no Nobodies were hurt in the coloring of this drawing, though a new color blender pencil got its first shave.
I colored Xemnas a little darker than most fanarts I've seen, but I was always a fan of Ansem's dark skin, and that seems to have subliminally made it's way into this. I use colors like bronze, goldenrod, spanish orange, metallic gold and silver on Xemnas, so while I was coloring him I kept thinking of statues and a kind of Pygmalion painting I've been conceiving. My scanner strikes again with it's love of the color yellow. Also, I think I'm going to call that little pup up front 'Miles'. |

The lineart is nothing I can change, considering its Ironbird's. I'd tell you that if you have a problem with it to take it up with her, but I'm not sure you should, in case you actually are an asshole instead of just painfully tactless like I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt of being. If it's the squishy quality of the babies or the angular nature of the men, I can clear it up for you here and now: it's a style thing. I'm sure you've run across more of the phenomenon called 'anime' on this site than a fine artist like yourself would wish.
If it's the fact that they are men and have children, I can tell you that I am very well aware from repeated exposure to "The Miracle of Life" since the age of five, that anatomically men can't conceive or give birth to children. They are capable of loving and raising children, though. Considering these characters have an associate who is literally a mad scientist, and has been known in canon to make clones, it is not much of a stretch of the imagination to think that he would make them a *castle full* of squishy little babies if they requested or, well, ordered more like.
If your comment was indeed directed at my coloring (as it was vague enough to apply to just about anything), I wouldn't mind a few more specific criticisms:
Is the problem the colors themselves? I've already stated that my scanner has a tendency to enhance the yellows in my drawings. Their strangely-colored hair is in keeping with the character designs from the game. I made the skintones as well as I could by combining several colors from what's left of my old standard 24 set of prismacolor pencils.
Or is it a problem with form and value? I know I have a problem pushing my values far enough into lightest light and darkest dark. But have I put shadows and highlights in places too strange to fit with a suspension of disbelief?
More direct feedback would be nice.
