Art Critique & Offer

Hello, Milchik. I just want to say that you and your gf's art is flat-out AMAZING! Also, can you do some drawings of some of my own Splatoon OCs? They can be found here. But I will give you a list of which ones I'd like you to do "after" you share your thoughts on it on its talk page. You can just dm them to me on my Twitter here (I will credit you when I upload them) or just upload them here yourself and show them on my talk page (do what suits you). Take your time & stay fresh! Sincerely, P.J. GT(talk) 03:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your opinion, I'm very glad you like the characters we made! Unfortunately though, both me and gf barely have time or energy to draw our own OCs because of our job being related to drawing as well, it eats most of our desire to draw more... :") And we still have to draw, like, 13 more characters for ourselves first (everything featured on my page was made in a span of two years or so). So currently we both are closed for any requests, so sorry for that. Stay safe and I wish you the best! Milchik (talk) 06:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh... Sorry to hear that. 🙄 But keep it up, and stay fresh! P.J. GT(talk) 12:19, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

I smell greed more than a squee-gee smells ink, lmao

Just wanted you to know that I appreciate you completing and making my edit on grass/fire/water better than it was before :) Happy Splatfesting! Xandpochondria 18:31, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you, I appreciate your kind words :) You Trivia point is very cool and totally worth mentioning so that's why I decided to improve it with the exact Pokemon list. Have a good time and stay safe! Milchik (talk) 18:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Wow!!!

Greetings from Japan! Holy carp, your art is amazing! As an aspiring artist, do you have any tips or anything? I'm just curious, since you're really good. My main question is; what art program do you use, and would you recommend it? Just curious. Have a nice Splatfest, friend! ArivakiVA 18:40, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello :з Thank you so so much, this means a lot to me and I'm really glad that you like my art! <3

I'm drawing on PC and I use Paint Tool SAI (it has two versions, and the second one is slightly improved, but the first one is still fine enough), this is like a simplified version of Photoshop and only focuses on drawing. Photoshop is amazing for drawing as well and it has WAY more options for editing your art but the program is really big and takes a while to learn, although I use it for editing the final result sometimes. I think it's worth mentioning that I also use a drawing tablet, like most of digital artists, but even if you only have a mouse, you can use stuff like vector tools to create smooth lines of different thickness. This is how I started back when I was 13! :D

As for the general tips, I can suggest you learning how to cover your weaknesses and improve your strong point, luckly there's plenty of tutoring content on the internet! Learn basic figure building, find artists that you like and try to imitate different details that you like from them, always use references when drawing less familiar stuff (it can be photos or, even better, other artists studies and sketches, as it's easier to learn when someone already simplified stuff for you). And eventually, if you practice what you learn, you'll get better every time you try to draw something for your own improvement :з

I hope it helps and thank you for asking! Milchik (talk) 18:54, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate the tips! Maybe one of these days I can show you one of my drawings. :) I'm more of a pencil and paper person, so thanks for naming the art program you use! ArivakiVA 21:28, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey there (again)! I have taken a step, and I might get Paint Tool SAI 2 soon! I really like your OCs' designs, so I'll try to draw one of them and send it to ya if I can! Again, thanks a lot for the art tips!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi! Nice to see you here again :> I'm curious to see your first steps in digital art! You can message me in Discord once you wanna show me anything if you want, you can find my contacts on my page here. Milchik (talk) 19:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, super late update, but I didn't get the art program :,D (hopefully I can ask for it again soon though). Also, I took a look at your OCs again, so I'll probably draw Cracker and Fugas (if I get the program) since they're my favorites. Anyway, have a nice day! Hope you had a great holiday!

Hello!

Aww that's lame... If you use Windows, you can try starting from Paint.net, basically it's a much better version of MS Paint that supports layers, stilus pressure, has different brushes, etc., and afaik it's free to use! :D I hope you get a drawing software soon, I'm excited to see your digital drawing start :> And if you decide to draw any of my characters, thank you so much!! I plan to draw them too, I don't have that much time on drawing something for myself and I'm working on a big artwork with 8 characters on it so it takes longer than usual :"D I hope to finish it soon tho!

Good luck and stay safe, happy holidays! Milchik (talk) 07:01, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for being late! I don't use Windows at home, but I do have a computer that's not at my house that has Windows, so thanks for the other art program suggestion! When I draw your OCs I'll be sure to show you the drawings! Thanks again, and have a great day/night! Arivaki-Kun (banter) 19:38, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you

Hey there, this is Paradoxe-Nana. I wanted to say thank you, for fixing the trivia section in the Big Swig Roller page. After copying and pasting that sentence for like 5 times I got distracted and forgot to change Reef-Lux with the correct weapon name. Thanks! Have a nice day. Paradoxe-Nana (talk) 12:33, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello! No worries, it's totally understandable. I remember copy-pasting the same grammar mistake I overlooked, like, 20 times in a row :"D Have a good day and stay safe! Milchik (talk) 12:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
