First off, let me say this is incredible. The precision and detail and
perspective. The highlight is definitely well-deserved.
Yet... it's so close to be 100% awesome, but for some reason I don't feel like
it's quite there yet.
Why? It's too clean, and therefore more
stiff than anything else.
The bricks are smooth without texture. The edges are sharp, but bricks have
rough edges and the walls are indented where the mortar connects them. Also, the
floor tiles look factory new. It's outdoors, and one would expect imperfections
as bird droppings and acid rain damage. Also, all the shadows are sharp, but as
they get further away from the object, the blur a bit.
I think you did a great job rendering the background as is, but there's too many
little details that keep it from being as realistic as it could be.
Now on the girl. Well, this is just a personal thing really, but the hard detail
of the background really doesn't match the soft shading of an anime character...
Well, her left hand seems to lack wrist bones, the hand just connects straight
to the arm... and the shading on her right leg doesn't curve where the knee is.
(also, her hair is really really neat, but that just could be my aversion to
neatness talking...) But other than that, it's actually a better figure than I
can draw, and Il ike her clothes.
I could go into how there's no backlight from the sunlight reflecting off the
ocean, but that'd be overkill.
And as for the sky, hey, skies are clear sometimes, so I actually like
it.
I'm sorry for the lengthy critique.
I do like this piece a lot, and that's why I do it.
Text is definitely Japanese, no question.
But the artist's name is definitely Vietnamese... hrm.
Vietnamese was originally written like Chinese, but now it uses Roman letters...
so why Japanese?
This is cool looking, very creepy and atmospheric.
But I think it's kinda weird how everything has the same texture? I know it's
your shading style, but... hrm. how to say this... like the fingernails look
flat against the fingers or something.
Maybe it's because all the shading is going the same direction? ah well, good
stuff anyway.
I like the sparklyness. =]
anyway, the skin tone is kinda grayish yellow, it's rather sickly looking.
Healthy skin has a red undertone from blood. (there's usually a bit more red on
the cheeks, tip of the nose, and obviously the lips) Also, the legs have no
knees. Either that or Sakura has no thighs. :P
ah, other than that, it looks fine. the fog is pretty cool.
Congrats on the french thing!
Anyway, I'm kinda late on this, but it's an interesting vector, but I think I'd
prefer non-textured. I love the composition, though.
Nice, clean and simple.

Ah, the mysteries of life...
Woah, how did I miss this?
It's BEAUTIFUL!

Wait... is Hagu-chan SUPPOSED to have 6 fingers? o_o
This is cool looking, very creepy and atmospheric.

Wow, very pretty. THe design is really cool with the flowery smoke and stuff.
I need to watch Tekkon Kinkreet what's wrong with me? :P
hehe, yaaay, but the style is too awesome!
I swear you have the most feminine drawings ever. <3
Not a bad thing, of course. It's incredible how delicate this is. Awesome.
Pretty cool, I like the perspective.
Aren't you prolific these days? xD
haha, I wasn't sure at first if this was a guy or a very muscular girl. xDDD lol. Always was bad at gender differentiation. Nice drawing.
Wow, I really like this one!
It's awesome, and congrats on the new site and yearbook page!
Pretty interesting stuff.
Poor guy.
10 hours is quick? Lol.
It's really beautiful, though, love the lighting and expression.
Nice job, it looks great. The lighting's quite good, and it's very pleasant looking. =]

I love the little text the says "...even if it costs my life."
It's already a powerful image, but that just completely makes me go like, WOAH!
Congrats on the french thing!

Awesome, I like the tagging. Also, the coloring is great.
I like the style, with the messy brush strokes, very atmospheric. Though I agree with the fog thing.
Cool, eyes are quite mesmerizing.
Awesome, rarely see vectors in that style here, great stuff.
So friggin' detailed, nice.
Great job.
ah, he's a guy. ;D
