Dude she is shredding!
I think you really got the body really accurate to reality with this piece, so it hits really well and pulls you into this guitar hero idea.
I just love the idea of someone who is a horror monster jamming during their freetime as well, it's not an uncommon idea to do... but it's more about the exicution!
Hope to see more great work like this!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
I really love the material feeling on the character.
It has that real look of a latex suit, with scattered reflections and the tightness on the body.
I also think the lighting/environment gives a really interesting vibe to the piece.
It feels a bit surreal, but in a good way.
Your style with this piece is giving me like a Gorrilaz vibe as well which imo is pretty neat.
I'm really interested in seeing more work from you!
Thank you!
I few things you might find interesting: The texture of the outfit was a bit of an accident, because I wanted latex at first, but then when I got into it I softened it into a something more like lycra.
The background is a nuclear test called Operation Wigwam, this plays into the alchemic reference in his pose and specifically the writing and pose of his arm.
Thanks again!
The color in the eyes on the main illustration is really fantastic.
You really captured that watercolor look throughout the whole piece, and how you use it in places of shading very lightly is also really smart too.
The character in general also has a lot of emotiveness that makes it really appealing!
Is this one of your own characters or is it based off like an existing property?
Thank you so much! So glad you liked the coloring -- it's something I've been trying to get better with.
The character itself is based on an avatar in VRChat (that is for sale in the Virtual Market), which is used by my friend a lot. Here's the original: https://booth.pm/ja/items/1444425
I love the colors that come through on the piece.
A lot of pieces on the girl have that oil-rainbow effect to them, which works really well at adding some more color to pop through with lighting.
The poses is also very nice, and seems fairly realistic to the body structure.
Hope to see more great work from you!
Oh, one last thing below as I was just wondering.
I've been wondering, is this one of your own characters or is it fanart?
It's my character from Vindictus :)
I love the linework of the piece!
It has so much variety throughout, really giving a lot of feeling to the materials on the character.
The hatching on the hoodie is really well done, and the simple shading is really clean too.
Do you like to do your pencil work as if you were doing an ink piece instead?
It really has that cool feeling of what inking can be like to make textures and such.
Hope to see more work from you!
Thank you! For the longest time i wouldn't go beyond a sketch, and when i did, i just used a crappy G-pen with solid lines that looked cheap, and never right. I started using Eigaka's brush in ClipStudio, and I really enjoy the weight of it, so once I lay down a base sketch, I just work on top of it as though it were and ink brush, and play with line thickness a lot. It's incredibly satisfying, and I've been enjoying feeling out this brush.
I really enjoy how much character you bring through with this portrait just through the linework!
It's a nice cartoonist style, kind of reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes with how the line is used with specific features like arm hair, glasses, and wrinkles.
I feel like if you did a digital wash of watercolor over the linework, you could help fill some of the empty space with some depth.
Either way, really nice piece and I hope to see more from you!
I really appreciate being compared to Calvin and Hobbes. I get a lot of inspiration from those strips.
I think your idea of using some sort of digital wash is really neat. I'm going to have to look into that.
Thank you for this review!
I really love the color and shading of the piece!
It has a nice mellow feeling with the darker purple and golden jacket, which also compliment one another.
The framing with the plant is also really smart, as it interacts with the person as well.
I hope to see some more cool pieces from you in the future!
Thank you Benjamin! I can't really take the credit for a lot of the choices made, since it is a "draw this in your style", but I thank you none the less!
The posing of the character feels pretty good.
I think you got this nice graceful feeling to the overall body, but you can see in the linework that they are tough as nails.
The shading and color are really good too, you can tell what materials are which for the most part.
There is one thing that is bothering me though, it's his left hand... his thumb looks really long!
It's not something everyone would notice it right away, but once you see it makes it feel a little off, you know?
Either way, I think this is a great piece!
Hope to see more from you in the future!
Whoa! I did not expect a proper reply here! Glad to be wrong! Thank you kindly for your review, and your stars along with it! And yes, with pieces as complex as this some elements fall through, his thumb was one of them. :3
And more will follow!
I think the pose you have for Giorno is pretty good.
It fits his character and gives some nice intimidation.
I do wish that the shading was a little more prevalent throughout the piece.
If you have a chance, you should look at the artwork for Jojo from the Manga versions. Especially the covers, they really show off some nice techniques to show shading and space.
It could really help him stand out a lot more against the background.
Also, I noticed that the linework looks a bit blurry even though it isn't too small of a size. Are you setting your work to be at 300 Pixels Per Inch?
The more pixels it can contain can help keep your work looking sharp.
Anyways, I hope to see you improve!
Thank you for the criticism! Right now im using an app called drawpile and i think the pen settings im using is just a bit more blurry than what the pen is originally set to. I can always try changing the pen hardness and opacity though if that'll make the next picture look better! And i can definitely study more of the JJBA art style too! I'm trying to find a happy medium between my style while still showing off what knowledge I have of the JJBA styles. I highly appreciate your kindness in your message to help me improve; I'm always looking for ways to improve myself as an artist so when another fellow artist is as kind as you are, it just helps a lot. Again, thank you and I hope my artwork continues to satisfy you and others!
I love the posing of Edward!
It so fits his badass persona, even though a lot of people can still see him as a kid.
The metal arm is really fantastic too, it really has that nice look of brushed metal.
Are you thinking about possibly doing the brother as well?
Either way, another great piece!
Can't wait to see the next piece you do!
Thank you for the kind words! I actually based the pose roughly on an Arakawa illustration of him.
As for the other brother, well... hold up I thought I had uploaded it here, but I hadn't, lol. But yes I've drawn Al before, a couple years ago! Here it is: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vdyoY
