Thank you ! I'm gonna try every options after I'm done painting the final details

As for the shadows, I'm not sure to understand what you mean exactly (I still have some trouble with english) but I scribbled something real quick to explain the way I casted the shadow.

I've always had troubles with lighting and shadows so I might have done something wrong here.

ohhh I didn't see it like that at all, I thought that shadow was her hand

danrob 2020-02-07 00:01:54 UTC #43

dude, the textures and patterning look great! I think the odd thing with the shadow is that it might be a tad small? Kind of nitpicky. I don't necessarily think it should change.

@nesokaiyoh Ahahah ! O no
@danrob Thanks ! Yeah, I wanted to make it long since I wanted to have that kind of "sunset" light but shadows are part of my "prespective-newbie" problem

I think I can finally call it done now !
There are a few things I wanted to keep working on (like her face, something's bugging me, I just stared at it for a whole hour in my bed last night trying to figure it out... I just can't be as satisfied as I am with the faces concept illustrations I made when I started ) but unfortunately I won't be home until saturday evening, and since I don't know the hour when the contest is officially over I am going to stick with this final illustration !
EDIT : NEVER MIND i just checked the contest page, i'll be able to fix it in time I think

It was such a challenging contest ! It made me go beyond my comfort zone and it allowed me to discover some amazing artists ! THANK YOU !

(I still want to make a little animation of this illustration, I might post it here )

mr_dessin 2020-02-07 08:35:41 UTC #47

So sorry I couldn't explain myself very well on the shadows and other stuffs...Anyways, everything look great !

Also really like very much the paterns on kimono (and good little spot for the lightning element haha) and these poor crispy guys and all the little details everywhere !

Good luck with everythng and see you next year maybe !!!

Ok NOW I'm done ! 5h left but I'm finally done.

I tweaked a little bit her nose. It changes nothing to the illustration but at least nothing is bugging me anymore

pylua 2020-02-09 02:39:16 UTC #49

@stepan.hells Thanks !
@mr_dessin Thank you so much ! See you next year for sure !

pylua 2020-02-09 02:42:24 UTC #50

Oh yeah ! I also made a little lore page, just because I wanted to but didn't have the time yet !
Now everything done

clarief 2020-02-09 03:41:31 UTC #51

You did an amazing job on this and I enjoyed the story

arhityom 2020-02-09 08:30:40 UTC #52

Wow! Really cool lighting in the final piece, the light and shadow interplay is very nice!

Hi ! Just posting to share with you a little animation I did for this illustration !
I wanted to make it look like one of those animated splasharts in League of Legends (without as much knowledge as them )

I might try to make a speed painting / process video of this but I forgot to record a lot of painting sessions
