Re: So I painted or something
Dang man. o-o That's actually a really good looking style.
If you feel like it, please do a rendition of Zageron in that style! ;D |

Re: So I painted or something
i like that second one a lot, the red woman, I see improvement in the emotion of your characters. Over the years I've seen your work and while you are very talented, I also feel there's a lack of substance for lack of a better term, or a lack of real personality in your characters. They seem more like figurines. Of course you do very good conceptual work, however as an artist and a big portraiture fan this is my 2 cents, add more depth of character and more variation in their anatomy, lean away from the cookie cutter faces
you are very talented and I am only here to be honest, but it's really still just my opinion. what matters most is what you think ^_~. keep it up !!

Re: So I painted or something
I agree aswell, and I think it's something that can be played with to bring things to yet another level, is painting the emotions in a way that enhances the scene. For the most part there have been depictions of figures who stand triumphantly, ready, and stern, which give a clear impression of a warrior, which I'm sure is something ideal given the scenes they are placed in.
Maybe try drawing someone in the same realm as these characters you favour, but one who is more vulnerable, perhaps just losing something dear, and see what can be done about visualizing what she might be feeling internally, rather than what might be "going on" around her. Many of them usually have to do with what's going on around the character, which is awesome too, but this is just a variation that might be beneficial.

Re: So I painted or something
Interesting idea, going to start drilling emotional expressions like what I did with anatomy for a while....
Sketches to practice Reminds my good old anime drawing days... >.> btw Haqua from the world god only knows. Starting things simply with these and move on to details later...hopefully Dammit I suck at facial expressions :/

Re: So I painted or something
I'd steer cleer from using an anime style when learning expressions because anime expressions are horribly stylized. Realistic human expressions have much more subtle details that make the expression what it is.

Re: So I painted or something
Unless of course you can build more definition with anime structure, i.e. a more realisticly built face with some anime-like proportions. But the stardard anime style has a lot less to work with and a lot of flatness which makes it less impactful in a still image.
I feel like there can't be the same complexity in most of the anime faces, and it's generally pretty obvious what the face is conveying. I like the idea of having to put yourself into the character's shoes by judging their more subtle facial qualities, it gives a richer experience.

Re: So I painted or something
Sure, you can express lots of emotions with an anime depiction, but these are based on real life to begin with, not on anime as basis. The best anime artists are at first, realist artists. From realism you can deduce any style you want, but realism encompasses all the fundamentals AND details that occur in real life that you can later stylize at your own will when you have a proper and deeper understanding of these fundamentals and details.

Re: So I painted or something
Those improvements to your drawing from 2007 to 2013 are staggeringly tremendous. Excellent work, you must be putting quite the number of hours into your art pieces...unless of course you've got a tablet and been working for over 6+ years and have a ton of experience drawing.
