Wow, those turned out great man, glad I could help! I love Greed and Envy too, but I think Pride is still my favorite haha.some creatures i designed for a 7 deadly sins project...shout out to Fantomas for helping me cut some of them out of the scans
(please excuse the poor graphic design lol)
thanks! and yes, thanks again for the help. the pride one was actually the inspiration for the series because i had drawn his head in my sketch book a while back, and decided to just make more of that, so he deserves the favorite spot i suppose hahaWow, those turned out great man, glad I could help! I love Greed and Envy too, but I think Pride is still my favorite haha.

Hey thanks for the feedback!Hi! I think the graphic designs are fine, actually? Depending on what you were going for, I like the simplicity and regularity of the frames. The font is nice and readable, though some might want the names to be fancier. The less saturated, more gray color tones you're using for frame colors and background splashes complements your pencil work, letting that work stand out. Which I think is important for graphic design of this nature---what's important should stand out, and the design serves to organize the information and relationship between the important elements. So the graphic design's regularity here very much expresses that these characters are all part of a group.
As for the characters, they're all very distinguished! Their sillhouettes are instantly recognizable, which is one of the most important parts of character design. The ones I like best are the ones where I feel like their design reflects what I understand of the sin they're named after: sloth, gluttony, and envy in particular. I feel that pride certainly has a stance that expresses pride, so that character also works for me. I'm a little more cold on lust, wrath, and greed; I don't know how the designs reflect their particular sins, however I acknowledge that your aim may not be to reflect on the meanings of the sin and just have great monster designs, in which case, well done.
Hey all, does anyone have a recommendation for a good, lightweight sketching app for the Mac? I just set up my Cintiq Pro today and I'm excited to start drawing again. I'm currently using Photoshop but I'd like something less resource heavy if possible.
Tirisfal Remember to tag Raging Spaniard in case so he doesn't miss your crit request.
Edit to add: Actually, I wonder if it would help to describe stuff we want to see critted, and especially what we were striving for, when we ask for crits. Because the crits I want to make for your work, Tirisfal, are possibly all invalid depending on what you were aiming for.
Edit to add more: Raging Spaniard I've edited my post to add my own view on my piece, and what I was trying to do. https://www.resetera.com/threads/th...-help-each-other-out.3018/page-9#post-7502435
Wow, didn't know about this thread!
Here is work I recently touched up and am working on little by little whenever the mood strikes.
Raging Spaniard, a critique would be amazing as it's always helpful when people point out things I'd never catch/see. I call it Blind Wizard and his Cat.
Oh okay, tagged him now. As far as what I'd like critiqued, any aspect of the piece that stands out to the observer. Not really had proper critiques given before on my works as the most I've shared my work with is on Deviantart. So any and all critique is welcome.
A Final Fantasy 14 fanart/ request I did. Took about 10 hours.
Sure thing, just pick a piece.The last of the D&D pieces I did.
Raging Spaniard I'd love a critique of any of my art. I'm always looking to improve.
The least resource-intensive app I know of is probably Medibang Paint Pro, which does a lot of things that Manga Studio / Clip Studio Paint does. Clip Studio Paint is... well, with a retina display one of the recent versions started really chugging for me, so I stopped using it and don't know what its current state is.
I still prefer to use ArtRage if I'm doing digital stuff, but it's a very different mindset in UI and technique approach from the rest.
artsi - 2B (and the rest of the android crew in Nier: Automata) is already a palette of black and white, so a gray monochrome drawing of her is very apt. If I were to do anything to make a similar drawing stand out, I'd do another drawing that incorporates a colorful element in an interesting composition (for some reason a rose comes to mind, even though that is just so very cliche). But that's just me.
TLDR: this drawing of 2B is very apt and good now, if you do this again later consider maybe a small element of color complementing the black-and-white composition.
In other news, my art tutor was very kind but demolished my armature for Svalbard reindeer and suggested using a volume shape approach instead of "ball and stick". So I've got my work cut out for me to go back to the drawing board for the next couple weeks or more, and this is why I love my art tutor. They always push me to do better, knowing that I will put in the work to do so.
Selling at EVO this year and its essentially the first time I'll be doing business at a con so I gotta go a little crazy and make a lot of prints. Came up with some thumbnails last night for a bunch of fanart.
Couple from a graphite series im working for a gallery tour.

Ok, that's dope.Hey everyone, it's my first post on Era, and all I want to do is show off portraits!

Hi! I saw these earlier and didn't quite know what to say, and didn't want to look silly. I think these are an awesome set of studies of water towers. I quite like the spatial break you put in them---that space gives a sense of that extra time it takes to look up or down one of these structures in real life, like the spaces between panels in sequential art. The graphite work I really like---I've seen photograph galleries but these just have that human touch I love to see that's impossible to manipulate easily with photoshop.
How will they be presented in your gallery---similar to how they are now, or differently cropped/matted? How many are you planning on?
Thumbs up to your very nice series.
Thanks. It seems to be helping with my stress so I'll probably keep it up.Kazoku_ Your color skills are looking borderline professional, nice work!
Not silly at all dude! They're being framed as we speak, i'll have them on dark boxes positioned just like the pictures, the separation in the image is an integral part of the concept. I'll have 24 of them, and you can check the first half (hehe) of the series @no_tt_here.
I don't know if we have any Brazilians on this thread, but i'm also having an opening jun. 22nd at a cool art gallery/coffee house in Belo Horizonte. All original pieces were created in loco, kinda like a residency. Illustrations mixed with coffee stains.

The Stålenhag is strong with this one...Welcome to the new art people! Nice job everyone.
I finished this image yesterday:
Nice, following him on twitter now!
Nobody has been taking up Raging Spaniard yet on the crit offers, so I suppose I will. ^_^
I don't know which art style is best to present to you. Some of my styles have a tendency to result in "your art sucks full stop, go away" critique so I'm really nervous.... but let's try this more conventional piece from November 2017:
Ballpoint pen (one with document-archival ink), watercolors, archival white gel ink, and gouache, with colored pencil touches.
Edit to add what I desired to express with this piece (for help with crits): I'm aiming for a quaint, down-to-earth look and feel for this little magic shop. In particular, I wanted to envision the type of magic shop that would be present in, say, a fantasy animated movie where magic was just accepted and part of a more modern period (like late 20th century at least), and where the setting is a small town in such a world. One of my fondest memories is of the little main street shops on the island where I live, with little plant additions to the outside and a nice place to sit. My biggest problem I feel is that some of the shop window shelves need... more. I don't think I had a very cohesive sense of what I wanted to be in the shop, or what they would look like. Also that cat didn't quite work.
