I'm working on a shirt for Maria's contest, and I wanted your guys' opinion on the shape and the base before I continued.



Please be honest. I learn better if your brutal XD

... You reach here first, why don't you go first? XD

Mystictic... Is that charcoal palette your main palette?
I don't feel all autumn with black. x.x Maybe you have other intrepretation for it~ *shruggs*

Assuming the base shape of all details are inside.
DESIGN
A bit bland. The design is just too plain and basic, . I would suggest adding more design element and features in it. You can add elements like braids, folds, zips, furs, buttons, at portion like collar, hems, sleeves...
But if you are going for that basic look, that seems okay.

SHAPE
Have you thought of what fabric your shirt is?
Tight? Flowy? Light? Heavy? Currently, the upper part of the body seems tight fitted, but the lower part drapes a bit.
If it is intentionally drapy at the lower part, make it more obvious.

ooo... room mate? Did you watch her over the shoulder like in those horror ghost story?
Did you bring and wave around the whip?
Didn't you tell her Xuvxuv is a design fanatic?
Besides, she changed my nice nice rounded palette into square ones! :<

Yes! She whipped me so hard.

Oh baby oh baby. XD

And yeah, I know it's basic. I was planning on adding long orange sleeves for Halloween. Maria already told me I had to make the sleeves looser. I just wanted to make sure that the shading was ok.

Thanks for the great advice!!! It's hard to find people who are just brutally honest with you, so thank you so much!! <3

Oi~ Add in all the elements. Then only people know what you are getting at. My suggestion is that~
1. If showing design. Simple sketch is fine.
2. showing design + shape. Put in the shapes for ALL elements, need not care about shading yet.
3. showing shade. Then only you shade. XD
Why don't you add in the sleeves and all other frills frills?
I want more sparkles! more frills! more everything! :3

... Mariaria, used the wrong word. Not fantastic.
is PICKY! ARROGANT! SELFISH! ONE OF A KIND! design fanatic.

Also, here's the female version. This one I pretty much shaded while Maria was sleeping, so it's obviously going to have it's problems. Again BE BRUTAL XD XD I think there should be more shading on the torso of the shirt (for the female's) but I'm not sure where it would go. HELP!! XD

About the design.
<.< >.>
There is preference of style/design from each person. Currently, I don't like how the design came out, but it could be my preference...
Too plain and basic for my liking.

SHAPE
I really don't like how the sleeve's shape goes. It looks stiff and as if the hand got all swollen or all muscle up. :/
Remember gravity.
When you draw a loose fabric, the top part of the shape is close to the avatar base. Only add thickness beneath the avatar arms if it drapes/drops over.
The avatar right hand sleeve looks tighter but the avatar left hand sleeve looks... bulky.

xuvrette: was that on both of them, or just the female shirt?

Also, I don't know how to make it any less plain :/

Both gender's sleeves, avatar's left sleeves.

Have Mystictic google autumn fashion?
There is actually nothing wrong to do basic plain design.
Maybe I am just expecting a lot from that sleeves. I am actually thinking sleeves like the medieval open sleeve... x.x

I can go on and on and on for design, but if you are content with that design, it is fine.
The sleeve HAVE to fix though.

You mean like this?



Or do you mean where the sleeves have a small oval opening above the bicep?

I can see this working for the girls, but wouldn't it be too feminine for the boys? I'm asking because I want to explore your ideas XD I'm still really new to this and am also trying to do something that hasn't been done yet XD

Also you are the goddess of pixeling and I'd love to see what Ideas you come up with XD

YEP! Something similar like that, but of course, not so flashy.
heh... you must not realize that there are open sleeves for male here. XD It is along the set call Harem. -__-;;
So when the sleeve open slightly at the end, it won't be so femine like the one you show.

If you are joining the contest, I would think that something along the line of contest, not so basic but not extravagant would be just right. But now, your shirt is just... too plain. For me at least, bear in mind I am not the judge, I don't know what they are looking at.

I mentioned earlier... you can add zip, fold, pattern and all those things.
You can break out the shirt in collar, hem, sleeve, shoulder, seam portions, and look at how other people mix and match them together. There are various designs of each part of a shirt.
You can go to wikipedia, and search for collar. It will show you various type of collar. same for others. So at least, your design is not so basic, more unique.
For example, your current collar is V shape. But there could be a lot more variation to it, like deep V, curve V, slant V(asymmetry). With a simple change of size, it would also look different.

OK, what about this?



.....though now it kind of looks like a jersey. Like a foot ball jersey almost, lol To me anyway.

You don't have one of those do you? A Halloween jersey? XD Or would that be too weird?
