This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Hi! I was trying to draw a version of Geto where he was satisfied with his life at Jujutsu High :)
I mean I think it's a very pretty picture and you're super talented I'm just not sure it captures his facial features that well.
Buuuuuuut it's an interpretation of the character so why do I even care?
The style is a bit more shoujo, but I can see the resemblance - especially with the artist's intent in mind. Anime designs can be difficult to adapt, as the style is usually a pretty minimalistic distillation of features, especially in the face. Looking at the original design, the most distinct features seem to be Geto's narrow eyes, bunned-hairstyle + bang, and the stitched scar on his forehead.
The eyes, lips, and nose have been drawn to be fuller to match the intended happier shoujo style, and the hairstyle is pretty spot on. I can also understand why the forehead scar may have been omitted, as this is supposed to be a happier alternate-universe version of Geto. That's not to say that I disagree with the other commenters that have said that the likeness isn't "accurate" - but I think I'd rather give the artist the benefit of the doubt and disagree with the implication that the deviation in likeness is mostly an unintentional one.
I would personally prefer that this community welcome a broad range of skill levels and techniques, and I fear that harsh or blunt critique without constructive criticism would only discourage people from sharing their art due to being made to feel inferior. There are plenty of other communities that are geared towards high-quality, high-effort intermediate-to-professional-grade art, but I feel like this is the only community (that I've found, at least) that seems to be open to everyone to share, and I'd like to preserve that.
It'd be nice to have some sort of way to indicate that one is open to or looking for constructive criticism, (maybe a tag you can attach to your post?) but that might also just be unnecessary and unrealistic to implement and moderate. That said, I'd be interested in hearing others' point of view about stuff like this. It'd be nice to know whether others agree or disagree, and why.
Now he looks like a typical guy from a shōjo manga.
Hi! As I explained in another comment, I was trying to draw a version of Geto where he was satisfied with his life at Jujutsu High. Hope you like it!
