EDIT: Not long after posting this entry, I found whitetrashpalace's Understanding Your Style - 2 discussion and discovered that I suffer from chronic "Anime Long Mid-Face", an apparently common and (now that I recognize it for what it is) HEINOUS anti-pattern. Realizing this infirmity is quite a bit like getting struck across the face, but it's a good wake-up call. While the above pic was only meant as a super quick sketch (and with a gimpy sore wrist, no less) I had to see if I could fix Vahaadi's horse-face--and a slew of other errors--and hopefully redeem myself. @____@
I made Vahaadi's mouth wider, his nose shorter and wider, his jaw shorter, his eyes a little bit taller, thickened his eyebrows, added pupils, tousled and darkened his hair, and tried to fix both of his hands. I also defined Spark better and changed the flow of her hair to make it look a lot more like her. Then I had to draw in Vahaadi's torso, since it had been hidden before.
Better? Please tell me it's better. DX

AHAHHAHA Well, she will reply to this--in proper fashion-- anyway, even if it's not what happened :D
It's better. Vahaadi has a real face, and Spark's hair looks like hair. xD *hugs*
LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE@W@~!!!!!!!
WOW! Can I just tell you how much I love his pupils? I LOVE HIS PUPILS. There, I just told you. I do like his wider mouth and new nose and I thought his jaw was fine before but now it's more fine. :D The pupils just make his eyesbrows POP so much more like WOW YAY. This comment is so nonsensical. I apologize. It's just because I'm happy. Ooh. I do love her hair. It feels so weighty now instead of river-y. HOORAY FOR ADVICE. *sigh* Off to go be reprimanded by amazing Tracy Butler. If you were willing to humble yourself, I should be too. I wish she'd do an expression thing with people! But that obviously means I need to man up and do one myself! Again LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I didn't see this because when you wrote "must fix" I didn't realize that meant that you HAD. ahah. silly me.
The difference is subtle, but it is a real improvement. If I hadn't seen the after, I wouldn't have said there was much wrong with the before. Vahaadi's after nose is the biggest change/improvement I saw, but also Spark's hair.
