General "post your illustrative art" thread

Dunno if i should post it here, since its pretty much just a copy of an official artwork, but meh. took me two weeks to finish this. (/lazyness :3~)
Haven't really done much illustrative work myself lately so do excuse me if I'll just keep to my attempts at commenting constructively for the time being, from a not-so-experienced artist's pov.
@failboat: Overall nice work, I like the monochromatic presentation of the piece for the most part, which highlights the red dot sight all the more clearly, thin as it is already. It may appear that you took some inspiration from elsewhere with girl, but otherwise it is quite an original-looking work. She's pretty characteristic of your art-style too I must say.
Not really sure where that setting is supposed to be, I can somewhat make out some corridor-esque features (as I am assuming the 2 white streaks on top represent some source of lighting on a ceiling), but it could be an misinterpretation on my part.
Also, too many (sharp) lines for my taste - especially those detailing the hair and upper body (and the gun as well). Perhaps fewer and thicker swipes will make it more elegant and less congested.
tl;dr - Nice, original work. Could be less congested on the hair, upper body portion and gun.
Edit: I think posting the time it took the artist (continuous effort or otherwise) to come up with the work will help give a better perspective on the piece in mention. Just my 2¢.
Nice thread btw, was wondering when such a thread would come up.

Well its a sloppy speedpainting anyways, took about 40 minutes, plus five or so for color correction and minor processing. I'll be working on refining my linework and strokes though.
The enviorment is a sort of warehouse, not entirely sure how it goes out setting composition wise, just painted out something in a hurry to make it less flat.
Artstyle is overall inspired by op centers work.
But in any case, if you're interested in some input, then you really need to use darker values.
Looks great otherwise.

Also, new guideline.

Despite that its referenced or traced, I still envy people who can use pencils rather then digital media.Bittersweet wrote:

* Requests can be placed if an artist does specify that he or she is up for it. Keep the requests elaborative and in as much detail as you can provide, but preferably keep the requesting itself in between you and the artist in question, although afterwards, feel free to post the outcome together with the request here. That goes for both the artist or person who requested the piece, but always give full credit to who did the piece.With that said, I already do got a request thread. I haven't really had the spare time to get to finish any of the latest, but feel free to drop by if you're interested. I'll get to it as soon as I got the time to spare (and can be arsed to actually do something).

God, it looks awesome. ^

Did a little speedpainting video of this by request.
Aspect ratio somehow got buttraped in the video, so here is the piece itself.
Not sure how long the first sketch took, painting took 30 minutes.
Here's Rche, whom I sketched about a month back.
I drew a dog just for this thread. I'd like some constructive criticisms on how you think I could improve with this style of drawing. This clearly took me a lot of work, but I believe there are better ways of achieving this style without all the busy work I put into it. I also think I can make it look less sloppy. I'd also like to work on the anatomy and perspective. Any tips?
That hair is very interesting. Usually in anime it's very sleek and straight, but it has texture there. I like it.failboat wrote:

^ amazing drawings, I wish I had that skill

^ I think that you added way too much photoshop effects in Suicune (inner shadow, etc), but it looks awesome anyways. I'll post some of my drawings soon.
Yeah, I agree. Try drawing a picture using only the basic tools - a hard brush and eraser. No textures, no filters, no blur, dodge, burn, or smudge tool. The various cool things you can do with creative application of certain tools is really just the icing on the cake - necessary for proper presentation, but far less important than the foundation - the cake itself.Kei wrote:

Feedback? You mean mindless compliments irregardless of how sloppy or well done it is. There is literally no feedback to get from dA other then praise for everything you do.
dA works well as a lazy or illiterate persons portfolio, resource bank and for browsing the occasional good art, but on the "constructive feedback" front there is literally nothing.
Everything is "great" and what isn't in the interest bubble of majority gets ignored.
The latter being what isn't the great anime artists work, ms paint furry/sonic/hurr fanart, and those damn annoying "adoptables in fifty thousand color variations THAT STILL ARE THE SAME FUGLY DOG ABOMINATION".

wip portfolio layout thingy idk
Not really true - I agree that basically all of the comments I get without asking are just praise, however if you ask in the right places, you will get proper constructive criticism. It's more or less a matter of finding people who know what they're doing in the chats and asking them to critique a work in progress or your gallery, and I've leaned a good deal from people like Norke or OchreJelly.failboat wrote:

As long as you don't hang out in the more immature areas, dA's more or less a very casual "talk about art" area.
Also, OH GOD ADOPTABLES.

I think if you added 3 lines over the gap and filled it in after it would look much more symmetrical as that's obviously what you were going for, but overall quite nice.
