+Lolita Paradise+

Well, you asked for the critique, so here goes. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Meow :3"/>

Vision:
I'd say this is definitely a good representation of what lolita fashion is. Frills, skirts, lace, and all that is girly and even what's not, sometimes. You show somewhat of a variation of styles here, which is good, as it shows how there are different kinds of lolita, not just sweet lolita, for example. Of course, I don't see any huge meaning, so I can't give 5 stars for vision. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Lick)"/>

Originality:
The idea is somewhat original, especially since the characters are completely original - they are your characters, after all! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g…" width="17" height="15" alt="" title="Giggle"/> I think it's an interesting idea, having four different characters, all dressed up in lolita style together. What I really like about it, though, is how they aren't actually seeing each other. Sometimes when people do that, it doesn't work, but I think you made it work. It's orginal to make it work, right? Especially the character in red - her design is very unique, which adds a nice touch to the overall picture.

Technique:
Lolita can be so hard to draw, especially when it's as detailed as this. You made the folds of the clothing very well, and very realistically too. However, there are a few things that I'd like to mention.
Aki is standing oddly... Her legs are facing in one direction, however, somewhere between the skirt and the shirt, her body turns towards us. Her whole body should be angled towards the center, not just her legs. Otherwise, that would make for a very awkward position to be standing in.
I also think that in placing the two middle characters, they should've been switched around. It would give for a more unified look, because the two characters would be facing more towards the center, like Aki and Mila are. Also, Mila's arm that's holding the bag - try putting your arm in that position. It really hurts. And the patterns on the dresses, they should curve a bit more. The dresses/pants puff out, while some of the patterns don't. Besides that, great picture as always! Good shading, the ruffles on the clothes are amazing, the shines add a nice touch, and the eyes are great! This must've taken a lot of time, but for it, it looks great.

Impact:
The drawing is stunning overall. The hair detail, the detail in the shoes, everything. It's just that the actual idea isn't that amazing. It's unique, but not absolutely amazing.


Hope this helped. ^^
