blades and cast down evil"
Your Link is clothed in the green of olives, and looks like he aspires to "bomb some dodongos"
it messed up the color profile when I saved it as an Adobe Illustrator file.
yup

Ok then!
#1: That might be acceptable if the art in front of the background were at least passable
#2: Your art should be posted in here, not linked
#3: Where are his arms?
#4: The line work, if you can call it that, is messy and random. Do you have seizures? I hear deep brain stimulation is quite effective.
Take down the website, study anatomy (see the first post of the tutorials thread for links), and come back when you fully understand what you did wrong, and have something for us to base suggestions on.
"I was born; six gun in my hand; behind the gun; I make my final stand"~Bad Company
First off, I'm sorry and should have mentioned that the background was a screencap, I'm not trying to claim ownership or hide it with a blur or anything. But seriously, telling me to take it down my webcomic and calling it the worst you've ever seen is flat out flaming. The Artists Corner is for critiquing. And although my banner does link to my webcomic (which is a totally different subject and the link pic being on there was a coincidence) , there is no need for you to go there if you don't like it. Try to stay on subject, if possible. I didn't ask you to correct the grammar on my webcomic.
Also, I don't have much control over how messy the line art comes out as after I scan my line-art and trace the bitmap with Flash. I'm only doing my best here.
"Take the website down" (waste of money until the comic is decent. If you must have a site, use a free comic hosting thing)
"Study anatomy"
"See the tutorials thread"
And trust me, this is not the worst we have seen. No-one said that. You have not been flamed.
Edit: You are not doing your best! Your best is what you are doing the day you die. Until then, ask for and listen to advice.
kitty is sorry and will be nicer from now

To the op: or you can always ignore him if you feel his advice was not helpful.
Your response sounds like whining.
Iruka gave you the most useful advice of all the responses here. A wise man/woman (whatever) would listen to her.
look at his deviantart - he's pretty young (14).
don't scare him away from doing something :P
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
Coddling is probably what brought him to this point. I don't know if it's possible to be both nice and responsible in this case.
Hell, when I was 14 I was stuck workin in a Vietnemise Nike sweatshop to help feed my two kids
"I was born; six gun in my hand; behind the gun; I make my final stand"~Bad Company
Coddling is what got me to this point? Wtf is that supposed to mean? So apparently, me being young, deciding to try and do something that I've wanted to do for a while and not being perfect at it implies that I have been pampered? Pampered by whom, might I ask? Parents? Why would I show them, let alone why would they care? Think before you post, dumbass.
Stupid me, I should have realized posting anything in here would lead to a fucking attack.
Age is no excuse
You're exaggerating and completely missing the point. Even worse, you're being a stereotype! No-one here has said anything that warrants your attitude.
We said it sucks, told you why, and told you how to fix it. Then you went and flipped out.
Edit: And you're taking what several people post, merging it in to the thoughts of one person, then attacking that imagined person's thoughts.
You forgot a semi colon. Adding a comma followed by a conjunction such as 'and' would also suffice. 'Alone' should also be followed by a comma.
Edit: I'm joking. Dude, chill. Were panning your art, not you. Also, if it makes you feel ne better, I assumed you were like 18-30 or something when I posted my initial critism, not an inexperienced little fledgling as young as 14 (although now your acting half that age). Ne ways, I'm sorry if what I said got to you that badly. Don't take what I said and tear down your whole site and throw away your hopes and dreams in the garbage. Just fix it is all were asking - not for me, for you.

You forgot the apostrophe.
:P
Also, to the OP: People here are candidly harsh by reputation, so one must beware.
Your attempt at reproducing Link feels half finished at this point. The lack of arms stands out the most. Once you've got the full figure in, then you can tweak colors/line width and smoothness.

And you forgot the R.
BAM-SHAZAM!

Funny, I see an "r" in my post...

The bad thing is though people come and see mostly the bashing and flaming, and think it's cool to be a prick all the time. so they'll come and give really general and broad crits and throw in insults trying to be the cool guy. that's probably why AC has a dumb reputation of being evil asshole eating monsters that flame people to all burning hell. being honest and giving critiques doesn't mean you have to be a huge asshole all the time
it's also dumb how that reputation makes people who want to learn how to draw also have to pretend that they love being abused with their "here's my artwork TEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAR ME TO SHREEEEEEEDS!!!! RIP ME APART!! DON'T GO EASY, GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU GOTT!!!"
just wanted to get that little rant out of the way
If you want to really improve your art, there's a bunch of links in the questions/tutorial thread that lead to several tutorials anatomy book downloads. even though if you might not think that you'll need to know that for your type of style, it really does help. there's also a couple of links to color theory, and here's a lovely inking tutorial that should help a lot http://www.teamspecialolympics.com/tutorials.php?id=12921 . Just rememeber, the more time you spend practicing the more you'll get out of it. if you really want to improve, make the time to draw from study books, photoreferences, and life (everything around you)
There is hope.
This thread was a riot so I decided against posting any more but allow me to offer you a bit of advice:
decide what you're striving for.
If you want to create a comic to have fun, play with the characters- that's quite allright and nobody will hold it against you- however, that case doesn't warrant its own thread.
If you want to improve your art, try to move towards the professional level- then let us welcome you and -at the same time- sadden you with the news that there's no way of avoiding the basics (anatomy, colour theory, understanding of 3d form) and there's a long time of practice between this point and a good, artistically interesting comic. If you embrace the fact and begin to enjoy learning what you may now be even unaware of as enjoyable- it's a win-win situation for all of us.

One silly comment among an overall helpful post != douchery.
If you just remember that everyone is a dick, you'll be fine!
It's really just a great thing to keep in mind when you come here.
"Ok, I'm about to post this nice art here, oh wait... Everyone is a dick! Never mind, I totally should not post this."
there isn't even art in this thread.
