[Sprite Battle] Ariel Vs Marko

[Marko]

instead of meaningless "I prefer X over Y" without reasons.

But isn't art supposed to work like that? Art doesn't have a set of rules to be followed, even though there are some common stuff that can, but not necessarily, make a piece more appealing than another. A less experienced target like me for instance failed to mention specifically why he prefers Ariel's over Marko's, but I could later realize it was partially because of what you've mentioned about the shading. More people where I live like pizza more than burgers, but it's mostly because "it just tastes better", even though they both often contain wheat, meat and cheese. Similarly, a more successful art piece is one that appeals to a broader audience.

but that doesn't mean you have to go anonymous. Just say what feelings that drawing gives you. You don't have to say reason why.
