badatfireemblem Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 I finally managed to get around to doing one of Fire Emblem Compendium's challenges! I didn't know I could actually go so far out of my style. alt title: "just watch it birdy..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It looks great as always (though now in quite a different way~)! I'm glad you saw this through to the end; I think the effort's well paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you saw this through to the end; I think the effort's well paid off. Thank you~ I'm tempted to do a few more of these sometime because I'm really pleased with the result. I'm taking part in June Poke Journey art challenge this month. I can't do full finished pieces in a day, so I'll be making sketches and rough paintings. I won't be posting everything here, so if anyone wants to follow my daily posts they will be on my Twitter/Tumblr.

Rezzy Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Very nice! Summer is my favorite season. Also, a bit late, but I like the Zelda. Your art has gotten so well to the point that I can't think of much to criticize anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hecatia Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 That summer Rebecca looks very cute! *w* And the rest is so awesome too! :D The moment I saw that Micaiah, I knew it was Pokemon-styled without looking at the text! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badatfireemblem Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Summer Corrin for an amusement park prompt. And a couple of OC sketches done in around 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Who are your OCs? The second one looks Zelda-y. Poor Corrin, those long ribbons get caught in the pool filter, not that it's happened to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Corrin, those long ribbons get caught in the pool filter, not that it's happened to me. I'm not sure yet haha. Though the bottom one is either an elf or fairy but I haven't decided which. I love drawing huge ears for elves though (and Zelda), so probably the latter. They're definitely a couple at least. Corrin's leg ribbon is rather ridiculous, as is Summer Robin's leg belt.

oshii Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hello! I'm a bit new to this forum, but I love the painterly feel of your artwork! You have a good grasp of anatomy and proportion and I especially adore your Zelda and Summer Rebecca. My only critique is that I feel like the contrast between shading and highlights in some of the pieces (like the Zelda one) is a bit too steep. When shading, it's good to keep in mind how texture affects lighting. Most cloths aren't very reflective, so the highlights aren't as bright. However, metals are very reflective, so the shadows and highlights have high contrast. The intensity of the light source also factors in to the level of contrast. Low intensity light: Low contrast. High intensity light: high contrast. Here are a few resources for lighting tips that explain a lot better than I do:https://www.deviantart.com/trisketched/art/HOW-TO-MAKE-YOUR-ART-LOOK-NICE-Lighting-615094374 (short and simple, but still very helpful.)http://stuff.veekun.com/pkcolor/ (this one is longer and more in depth. It's mostly about color theory, but it's got a handy section on lighting too.)https://design.tutsplus.com/articles/improve-your-artwork-by-learning-to-see-light-and-shadow--cms-20282 (this one is super in depth and technical, but it's worth a good read.) Keep up the good work! Shading is tricky, but I have no doubt that you'll keep improving. You've already improved so much over the course of this thread. And I'd love to see more of your lovely works in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd love to see more of your lovely works in the future! If you're talking about Zelda's dress I was going for a satin look which makes the highlights sharper than other clothing. Though I do really emphasise contrast and colour in my pieces for a brighter warmer look so it may just be a bit too much sometimes. Thanks for the advice! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof yeah, I'm not used to seeing satin so I didn't recognize the cloth. My mistake. I hope the critique wasn't too overbearing. I know I can be at times, so sorry if I was. 1 hour ago, Natalie said: Though I do really emphasise contrast and colour in my pieces for a brighter warmer look so it may just be a bit too much sometimes.

I'm not sure I've entirely got the material down yet so it's completely understandable. Fabrics are hard and I've particularly struggled with swimwear. Thank you. I like mixing the painting style with bright colours because although I love them, so many old oil paintings are faded and the colours have become muted. I wanted to do something bright and fun for a change : ) I forgot to post this Azelle sketch commission from awhile ago too! Also if anyone wants to see any process shots of my pieces, feel free to give me a shout because I keep all the older versions. : ) A few people have asked about streaming on Twitch too which I haven't really considered because it's public, but if anyone on SF is interested too I'll bear it in mind for future.
