Or for the game

Ya owe me a beer now

You'll fit in perfectlt

I honestly didn't really want to go with the facepalm, but the client insisted on it.

Looks like a screenshot from one of my parties

I've got something I've wanted drawn forever

A party of 6 all squeezed onto a schooner and a dwarf sleeping on a rowboat tied to said schooner floating about 20 feet back

I am okay with the facepalm, but also agree that it'd be better without it

I like this girl. She's a monk, but her description was very druid-ish, very nice.

And they also had a furry alchemist. Pretty fun as well, even tho i don't like drawing furries.

Okay, have i spammed enough artwork to save the channel from imminent deletion?

Kinda strange movement in the alchemist one

The flask is supposed to explode in her hand, and she's supposed to jump back and shit.

Here's a wip of what i'm doing now. btw

All of this is fantastic

Thanks

I recently tried painting a background for the first time. Here's the result, with character doodle over it.

Nice.

woman = good

says the 14 year old

Woman is 14 as well.

*shuts down server*

The character herself is meant to have a sci-fi succubus motif. I spent a lot of 2018 working on character design skills and this is the best I've come up with so far.

@n0vitski excellent work across the board! 👌

Thanks

I have a gab account which i was SUPPOSED to be filling with art, however, the only ones who follow me there are porn-bots, so i kinda abandoned it

I guess i can shill it here, since there is a slight chance that at least some people here use it?

@n0vitski has the best art here tbh

@Mikey yeah, that's not even a question

he's amazing

And he's actually a fake Russian.

But I didn't tell you that

You know him?

I also have this reference sheet for the character posted above. This is a *mostly* finalised version of the design.

boobs and ass

and oversized plastic scythe

what more could any 15 year old ask for

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd have given her more leather straps if they weren't a pain in the ass to render.

:^)

Wait, I have a question

What if your art is shitposts?

<:thunk:462282216467333140>

That's peak art

amazin art novitski

Anyone got old old art that they can compare to their newer stuff?

I make one of these each year to keep track of what progress I make.

Cool, there's a lot of improvement

Aye, thanks. I focused mainly on anatomy and rendering. For this year I'm putting more effort into learning posing, gesture, and how to draw backgrounds and environments.

Yeah, it shows, the old one seems really stretched, the newer one is much more proportional

Mhm. I still go for a tall/slender build out of personal preference, but the exaggeration is far less pronounced now. Rather, I emphasise the figure using a few tricks of character design. For example, the part of the outfit that's black stretches from the feet up to the bottom of her ribs at the back, and the result is that the legs look longer than they actually are in proportion to the body.

The amount of work I'm putting into this pic is getting ridiculous

xd

but, I'm slowly getting there

Looks good

Looks nice, dud

Thanks!

Watch the foreshortening on his right leg though, the foot seems too small.

just a wee bit

You're probably right

when I was making her*, I imagined the perspective to be much more pronounced.

(Loving the background work though)

I'm just starting with the background, there's almost nothing there yet

Aye but the lighting on the clouds is nice

thanks! I can't wait to color them

@SneekiBreeki that's a lot of improvement in just one year, keep up the good work 👍

I am fake russian, that is true.

Fun valentine, huh?

Funny.

Fun would be Весёлый, not Забавный.

Altho there's no 100% eqivalent translation to word "fun" in russian.

funny is definitely Забавный or Смешной tho.

Yeah that sounds bout right

Even tho i'm a fake russian, i'm pretty good at pretending to be a real one.

It seems like this channel is not often used

let me fix that with my ultra weeb avatar

what do you think?

: )

awww

seems like a magnet for head pats!

thanks : D

that was my intention

Probably because people were making the art get lost in shitposting. That should be less of an issue now with our new gallery manager. 😃

@O.K It looks good, but i have one suggestion, if you're interested in a bit of criticism.

@Bahrack Obamcuddah that's probably better placed in one of the general or politics channels than the art channel

battle ready

Ping me or <@&543752921234276382> if art is drowned by shitposts, they will be sorted asap. <:maulerHeart:339124719553085440>

It makes me confused.

Make it simpler, my mindbrain hurts.

@n0vitski of course I'm interested.
This is the main reason I'm posting my stuff here. There are bound to be people more experienced than me, and they may have some really good advice. : )

@O.K So, about this piece, i'd suggest adding more color in the darkest shadows, since they just look black and grey. It's passable on the clothes, since they are pretty desaturated, but on the skin it looks really dead. You did a good job with reddish shadows on the face, but the hands and the arms - not so much. I suspect you're using multiply layer for shadows, and if so, it's really not a very great idea, since in the darker areas it tends to just kill the color, no matter how saturated the layer itself is. I would actually recommend for the most part to work with color in normal and not employ other mixing options for anything except for finish. Also, don't use the same hue for the shadows as you do for the lights, make it a bit colder, or a bit warmer, it will look more natural.

Overall, black/grey shadows = bad, saturated shadows = great

@n0vitski well, actually, as stupid as it may sound, that was the idea...
originally, all shadows were saturated, but I wanted to try and make her eye color pop a lot... so I put a brown (opposite of blue) overlay over the entire piece, and erased it around her face, so that everything except her face and eyes (and the stars in the background) is brown, which in theory, should contrast really well with her blue eyes. I guess it didn't work too well 😂

I mean, they are pretty blue.

Almost *too* blue...
