some update on the flower cricket

LesleyCarol 2021-05-20 22:17:51 UTC #203

This looks really natural! I thought it was a refence photo at first glance. Great work so far

profets 2021-05-20 22:34:57 UTC #204

Like Lesley, I also thought this was a reference pic at first. Solid mate!

Julia_J 2021-05-21 06:22:03 UTC #205

Cricket sounds much cuter than it looks This is awesome!

HANDRO 2021-05-21 10:04:57 UTC #206

Dang... this is really good, the textures really make the piece pop. Great Job! Is it eating the flower? did not know they did that.

Frygidal 2021-05-21 11:22:56 UTC #207

Thank you so much everyone! Hope to finish it before tomorrow stream

@HANDRO hahah, no, his jaws evolved to look like flower, he catches his prey when it wants to get some pollen and then suck their juices with the suck tube in the middle of the "flower" I am now working on the connection of this jaw to the head to make it more obvious

Some progress on the new fanart!

Armor up

LesleyCarol 2021-05-24 23:19:52 UTC #210

Looking good so far! I really like the way you highlighted the armor.

Frygidal 2021-05-26 12:57:22 UTC #211

Thank you very much @LesleyCarol , means a lot as I am trying my best to learn painting metal with this piece, pretty happy how it is going now!

Awesome work man! I really like the design and the armor design.

Rendering nitpick - the two main sources of light are that sword and a top-down centered white light. I've got nothing to say about the latter, but I think that pink sword glow is a missed opportunity if you're not covering the left sides of that armor in more of that pink glow. This will create core-shadows and all sorts of yummy shapes and edge highlights. It's already there a bit, but don't hesitate to push it further!

Keep it upppp!

Frygidal 2021-05-26 13:14:50 UTC #213

Thanks man for advice and kind words but this design unfortunately isn't mine! This is Lucretia from Afk Arena game, it has a lot of cool designs but in cartoony style so I like to train my painting skills on heroes from this game as designing and painting both often overwhelm me I will definitely push this purple lighting if you say so, I was wondering about this as well

Frygidal 2021-05-28 14:50:56 UTC #214

I think I am done but I am open for any tips

Da_Bingus 2021-05-28 18:44:22 UTC #215

Damn this looks so good can't give you any tips since I just started drawing this year but I can say that it looks good

ziggydas 2021-05-28 21:57:33 UTC #216

The rendering on the metal looks great!

I’d say one thing though — personally at least, is that the sword is very very bright and saturated and takes away the focus from the character. I’d suggest making the background darker (value-wise your character is blending in with it) and make the sword less bright and saturated so that it doesn’t take away from the character (because she’s really well-done). Another thing to consider is that light sources in the rain like the sword will illuminate rain in front of it, see this piece for an example of what I mean:

Honestly, it’s super minor but it’s something to still consider.

Overall, fantastic job though!

HANDRO 2021-05-28 22:27:21 UTC #217

interesting detail about the rain. really gives the piece depth though. Haven't tried rain settings myself but its definitely something i would have trouble with in terms of depicting rain

Julia_J 2021-05-29 05:34:51 UTC #218

Oh yes, the metal rendering is niiiiice

Frygidal 2021-06-01 22:19:33 UTC #219

Thank you so much guys and special thanks to @ziggydas , very helpful feedback, especially with this rain, I will definitely get back to it some time to experiment some more with these tips!

This is my new piece I am working on (Dragon's Crown Sorceress) for my anatomy studies, let me know if she looks okay to you

LesleyCarol 2021-06-01 23:08:25 UTC #220

Love the colors here and the overall pose!

One thing I'd say is don't be afraid to make the waist and arms a little bigger to match her chest and hips. When they're this small and thin in comparison, her body looks a little unnatural. Also at this angle it seems unlikely that her breast would be show as much if her frame is so small.

Here you can see she still looks thin with wide hips and a large chest, but her arms, waist and even face are big enough to match. I don't know how much you can trust an image from the internet, but it looks believable enough
