Thank you for posting.

Kusanagi,

I've been looking at your pictures for the past couple of months to see if there would be any dynamic change in what you draw or how you draw it.

This is just my own personal opinion, but I know a fair bit of muscle artwork since I've been around since '96.  The thing about your artwork is that it's always the same pose over and over again, there's never any differentation between the poses that give it more action, movement, or even life.  If I had to compared you to an artist, it'd probably be Iczerman, because he too re-uses the same poses over and over again.

This to me is boring, sure the physique could be great, the expression could be cute, but if it's just the same pose over and over again it's like all you're doing is changing the clothes and face to match the same standard body.  I'm not a big petite fan when it comes to artwork, which is why I don't pay much attention sometimes to certain artist new releases, unless it's done exceptionally well.

Looking at your gallery you can see right from the thumbnails, I even clicked on each one and most of them had the same pose just different attributes.  Sometimes you mixed it up with front shots, comics, but most of the time it's just the same pose over and over again.

You seem to like drawing, you got a good handle on abs and biceps, but make the drawings larger!  Give them more movement!  Draw them in interesting situations!  Seeing pictures that are just simple "Bios" are boring after a while, let's see them larger than life doing something incredible!

The ones that you draw larger than life, particulary this one:

Is amazing!  It's just a really well drawn picture, and it's very sexy with the outfit she's wearing, she's showing off a lot of skin and is even flexing to boot.  Now granted, it's similar to the poses I was talking about earlier, but this was very well done.

But why can't you have characters maybe lifting boulders?  Writing in notebooks?  Battling evil foes?  Modelling for a photo shoot?  Why can't they have maybe even bigger muscles?

Here's another great one you've made in the past.

I totally ignored the top panels and focus on that large image of the woman in black, she has a sexy look to her from her eyes, hair, and body.

I honestly think you have potential to be even greater, you need to push yourself harder into creating new things, experiment with different poses, body styles, hair styles, change their weight around, make them bigger!  Make them smaller.

I don't care, but I want to see something different.  You also can't use the excuse "I'm a sucky artist."  The only time an artist becomes "sucky" is when he refuses to try new things, when he refuses to experiment.  The artists who can get away with not trying something new are the ones who have truly mastered their craft, like Alex Ross for instance.  But until you reach that level if you decide to even pursue, you need to try something new and put more dynamics into your pictures.

It doesn't matter what comments people leave on your deviant art, but I want to see you improve on that strong foundation you have in drawing.
