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...

<:hyperthink:462282519883284480>

Yeah, they are, but the rest of the piece suffered because of that brownish tint

Yeah.

To be honest, i don't think the eyes would be lost anyway.

If you have psd file saved and it's on a separate layer, you could just remove the tint, i guess.

But it's up to you.

WIP in peace.

a meme i just spent 15 minutes making
