Hands are a bit off, and I don't know if this was intentional or not, but her left (viewer's right) boob looks significantly larger than the other one. Also it looks like her torso is a bit wonky and doesn't quite connect up with her right (viewer's left) hip.

That isn't the "eternal rule". The "eternal rule" is that lower tier artists will demand anyone who criticize their work to post their own artwork or else "they aren't valid". This stems from an overblown glass ego. That's the joke. The fact that you thought otherwise is downright embarrassing and you need to stop posting to save whatever face you have left.

Like I said. The eternal rule is shitty artists will have overblown glass egos and demand others "prove themselves" in order to validate their words based on the shitty artist's arbitrary rules of judgement. In other words, shitty artists say "post your work" because they're insecure and stupid.

>that can't back up his critique.

Critiques should speak for themselves, a shit artist can offer a valid critique and a good artist can be a very poor critic. The only time "post your work" should be an appropriate answer to critique is when the person frames themselves relative to the art (IE "your stuff is shit and I could draw better than you in my sleep") or try to add weight to their opinions by claiming to be skilled (IE "Don't listen to anon listen to me I'm a professional"). IE when they should be proving their own claim.

The problem is 90% of this board mistakes shitflinging and antagonism for criticism. Even if someone posted their work after saying something useless and antagonistic it wouldn't magically add value to their shitty post, as if having Glenn Vilppu go "thats fucking trash kill yourself" is more useful for fixing your flaws than having anyone else go "thats fucking trash kill yourself".

Really? Then who did that one Araki style redline I remember? It was somewhat similar to the one you did, and I think had a woman holding a Loomis book.
