The-Real-Joe-Cool
Welcome! It's always good to see a new artist here

About your picture: it's nicely done, I like it. Technically, it's close to perfect, especially the background... all those details, the perspective, the picture on the wall... impressive. The work with shadows is simply amazing. Lisa is looking nice too, yes we rarely see her in such situation, but she looks beautiful. I'm not too much into anime, all those ways to express emotions confuse me sometimes - for example, the details on her cheeks look more like scars to me rather than blush. But that flower in her hair is an adorable detail...

About your words that the picture doesn't have any sexual context. Sorry, but I don't believe that. I can't imagine the situation with Lisa locking in her room, staying naked on her bed and doing nothing. But I must admit, I liked this picture, it still looks harmless and nice. Good job

Welcome to LTS! Your picture is nice, a very good attempt at merging the Simpsons and anime. Usually when this is attempted it's often failed, but I think you did a damn good job here. The background is perfectly done, the bedsheets and chair look very real and believable, and the teddy bear

As for Lisa, my only nitpick is something Dagdamor has already pointed out... the blush on her cheeks looks like something more serious But overall you've down a good job with her, too! Her hair looks slightly odd but you've nailed her figure, looks very real and believable as well Hope to see more from you here, even if it is "mature", as long as it's nothing very dirty, I'm sure everyone here can appreciate the beauty of art.

I have split the thread today. All offtopic, provocative, offensive stuff has been moved out.
I nicely ask you to follow Kasper's good advice and keep this topic for posting opinions about the drawing, not for anything else.

Welcome to LTS, TRJC! I like your fanart, also. The details are good, and anime-simpsons is a rare, but appreciated art style. Also, I do not believe mature art is bad. Art is art, and that's all there is to it.

Since most of the members agreed that your first picture was on the borderline, I nicely ask you to show your next drawing to Marco one of the admins before showing it to public. If it's approved (I hope it is), you will be free to post it here. No need to risk without reason. Thanks.

Marco is me, btw 

I'm very much looking forward to your next picture, JoeCool!

Cool! Maggie looks Great! I love the colours you have used! Was it made in Flash?

Ah, great, beautiful art, TRJC. Everything looks so vibrant and realistic!

The-Real-Joe-Cool
Very impressive! Your art is a wonderful addition to LTS, I love the wings and the way they seem to glow... and her eyes are extremely well done too! As I've said before, most people who try to cross The Simpsons and anime do a less than expert job, but it looks like you are one of those who have a knack for it Keep drawing, I very much look forward to seeing more from such a talented artist as you

Seeing your art I cant help but say of your style that suited very close to all that anime stuff. And to be honest it's kinda disappoints me every time that I see it, because that's simply not mine. Enough of me, your art is so impressive, the work with special programs combined with high skill of hand-drawing raise you beoynd the clouds in my eyes, like some another artists - CargoOfDarkness of SimpReal. From that bit of your art that I saw here, at LTS, I can conclude that you ready to pay a lot of time for elaboration of every single aspect of your drawings (something that I will never understand ) Now to your pictures itself.

Lisa - All Grown Up
This is done very good and all seem to cast some very delicate and intimate atmosphere. Lisa looks great though she has pretty much of small shortcomings, such as distorted proportions of body somewhere. Face expression is good too (except for that all is damn anime style ), I'll try to guess how she feels this time. It seems that she has no... intercourse by now and the cover is confirmation of that. So if she will (ever) do that it's just an assumption and nothing more. And I incline to think her confusion is called with another reason I can't say which. Maybe it's her thoughts about all that was the past day and she is still under influence of that, maybe she even consider herself as guilty in something and simply can't get rid off that feeling. And right now she is showed before taking a shower (or after) and still the hard ideas pursuing her... Thats not easy picture for me.
and
Maggie - Angelic Soul
That's simply perfect both in technics of colouring and the character's detailing. Maggie's hairs impresses me high and her giant anime-eyes is nice-looking. She has a wings that came out so airy and non-material, so easy to touch, almost spectral. Nice work with a landscape and that representative of flora that you have shown in the foreground. Again the colours so bright and vital, very pleasing to eye.
So, please, go on.
(as for your request - it seems to me that unblurred version looks more great and the "pure" anime-style face of hers looks much more adorable than "traditional" or half-traditional ones )

I believe he's referring to your statement, Dagdamor.

You've done a great job on Angelic Soul. I'd keep the unblurred version, since the flower is by far the most well-done object in the entire picture. The feather looks a little rough, and for the purpose of bringing focus to Maggie, you could use a little bit of blur, but not as much as you did in the blurred version. Play a bit with it.

I'd also go with V1, the other ones just don't look right.

Now, some nitpicking. It doesn't feel like Maggie. Sorry to brake it to you, but that grown-up lady differs too much from the baby from the show, there's no way to tell if it's Maggie, Lisa or any other character. When doing a totally different style than Groening's, it's important to keep the things we associate with the character in the picture. For Lisa, it would be the white pearls, a red dress isn't enough. For Maggie, it's the pacifier. It's been popular to keep it in a necklace, but there are other ways too. The ribbon was a good try, but I don't really think it's working.

Lastly, it feels like you rushed her wings. Just look at the detail level of the flower. Or the feather. Or her hair. Wings are extremely hard to draw, but given the skill you've shown drawing everything else in the picture, I don't doubt you can do a better job on them. It also looks like they come out from the back of her head, rather than her back. Take a look at other pictures for reference. (http://dreamers.com/fantplastic/galeria/belldandy.jpg or http://sjfanarts.iespana.es/bell_angel.jpg). They also give a hint on how you can improve the details of the wings.

All in all, a very good picture. Most outstanding is the flower and Maggie's hair. Sorry for all the nitpicking, I hope you take it in a good way.

OK, I've decided to shelve the Maggie project for now, until I figure some things out. However, I do have a new pic, featuring Marge this time around. Changed up the style yet again, I like how it turned out, I'll probably use it from now on.

Anyway, I have removed Marge from her element, here's the scenario; she's young, single, and independent. She even has one of those modern, minimalistic, apartments. Critique welcome as usual.

Contains no mature content in case you're wondering, haha... kind of having fun drawing clothes.

Nice one I like her hair and her outfit, you've done it well. And her pose and face are very good. I don't like backgroung, it's too bright and takes all viewer's attention, I suppose some kind of urbanistic landscape could be great and more matching for this dreamy face
And still, she has sly naughty look But i like her.

The-Real-Joe-Cool
Ah, this is a very impressive picture. While not possessive of the brilliant, blinding white wings of the Maggie picture, I love the way you've done her hair. The couch and everything in the foreground are very sleek and sharp in quality; I only wish you would have spent a little more time on the background... it would perhaps be lending a more real feeling to the picture if the clouds were sharper in detail, instead of looking like the sky in an ancient FPS game.

I'm glad to see some traditional Simpsons style here, you seem exceptionally gifted in both areas of anime and canonic-Simpsons style. The picture does have a "naughty" look, although it's more of a bachelorette style independence and freedom, if you will.

Another great picture I must say, it has been a pleasure viewing.

The-Real-Joe-Cool
As for me, these versions are much softer and better. Water you added make that more... uhm... let's say, that's it gives more comfortable feeling. And the version with a blue sky is very nice and calm. And seeing Marge in all these varying backgrounds is a great way to see how nicely she was drawn herself I like this pic, and unlike I felt about Maggie and Lisa, this is really Simpson, real Marge.

I love the idea and execution of this picture. Imho, the first version is still the best... the clear sky indicating she might be on some super high tech skyscraper, maybe the lounge of her office. The color of the sunset is the usual one of metropolis and big cities so it makes even more sense. And her pose, clothing and sparse setting does a good job of instilling a sense of "relax after a full day".

Very interesting artistry, Joe-Cool!
