OMG YES! He toastally can be Chiara's characters pet! XD He can welcome scuba divers and guide the way to her throne with his lights.

Oh. "The Dragon" gets relased. XD Man...I'm not sure if I could take it. I mean....that dragon is kinda huge.

Im in the midst of catching back up on classes, since i started every bit of term 3 and didnt finish any.....but im about half done now. I have also started a reskin design for street fighter over on my thread.....aaaaannnnd I am also participating in a Legend of Zelda design challenge. But I didnt want to forget about the challenge here so i thought i would at the very least state my intentions. I would like to do a picture of Crystal Boy, from the Space Adventure Cobra.

Wow, you've been busy. And you're progressing super fast! Can't wait to see your take on the Crystal Boy. He looks complex.
Which platform is doing the Zelda Challenge?

Aquatic Moon Discord (Trent Kaniuga)

WeirdOwl 2020-09-11 15:04:05 UTC #85

Oh yeah! I've been meaning to ask you how do you like learning from Trent and how does it compare to Marc's classes?

WeirdOwl 2020-09-13 16:07:33 UTC #86

Hey guys, so here's my WIP with the values. Wanted to check with you all if they read ok. Still not sure about the bright/dark intensity on the guy himself (I have a feeling Marc will say "make brighter", but I wanted to make him the emphasis by having the darkest tones. Any recommendations?

IndrawnArt 2020-09-13 18:04:31 UTC #87

My initial thought was actually "make him brighter". My eye gets drawn to his dragon a bit more right now. I think you lose too much detail on his back and face. And I guess we all wanna see these details.
Maybe you should introduce some more light to your main character and make his crystals glow?
And I luv it! Can't wait to see what colors you'll use.

I heard you @IndrawnArt Added some dramatic light. Better? Worse? About the same?

chiara.arcidiaco 2020-09-14 06:14:42 UTC #89

This second one is all way better. I think that before the range of values was too, short haha I don't know how to say it And I love the fabric texture, very appealing

IndrawnArt 2020-09-14 19:59:33 UTC #90

Yes. It is much much better now!

WeirdOwl 2020-09-17 19:30:39 UTC #91

Hey guys. I need help deciding. Which colors do you all like better?

chiara.arcidiaco 2020-09-17 20:28:51 UTC #92

Vika I wanted to see it here with better quality, and it's definitely better hahah his shirt is so, wow one thing that is kinda strange is the back, like the lats/erector spinae/obliques zone, but maybe it's right hahah I don't usually draw a lot of backs You're really nailing it.

Where is it located? it's not so easy to figured it out from the background, I'm curious sorry hahah

But now I noticed that the first thing that I see is the square on the shirt, maybe you could tone down the contrast a bit, no it's too beautiful hahah I don't know his face is not so important right now.

Now I go to my work or I will not finish it on time hahah Thanks for sharing all the process here

BadRooster 2020-09-18 07:55:56 UTC #93

Hard to say. I like the red one on its own but the blue one fits the whole image better to my eyes. Either way would you be able to bring some of that darker color to the top just a little to unify the whole piece?

chiara.arcidiaco 2020-09-18 16:38:48 UTC #94

instead I think that the red is better, as the complentary of blue, let's say light blue hahah Vika will tell us what she has chosen

WeirdOwl 2020-09-18 16:54:07 UTC #95

I chose somewhere in-between. I'll show you guys in a couple of days. Taking a break, so I can look at the art with fresh eyes.
Where are the rest of the submissions? I wanna see more cool art!

chiara.arcidiaco 2020-09-20 20:36:02 UTC #96

Some progress. I tried to make my character standing instead of sitting but I'm still not sure, so I started rendering the background due to the fact that she will be mostly trasparent Still WIP, thank god that we have more days added to the challenge hahah

There will be more atm perspective (maybe... water perspective? ) and I wanted to make the little guys smaller and maybe more like sea creatures, what do you think? If you have any advice let me know

Vonschlippe 2020-09-20 21:27:30 UTC #97

Oh Chiara (tchee-harrah, for those in the know) !! That's shaping up to be wonderful.

I do hope you go absolutely ham with the water caustic light effects, sea creatures, and underwater light rays coming from the dome structure. Dis gon be gud. Big thumbs up!

BadRooster 2020-09-20 23:19:25 UTC #98

This looks awesome. Can't wait to see her.

Looking at everyone's significant progress within this program gets me extremely excited for where my own work will be in a few months and years..

chrihoonart 2020-09-21 15:20:19 UTC #99

Everyone is making such good progress!!

I ended up suddenly moving internationally so I don't know if I'll make it by the deadline, but I'll definitely be keeping up with this thread to see the end results!

WeirdOwl 2020-09-22 01:08:28 UTC #100

Alright Ladies and gentlemen, I think I'm done (or at least I don't feel like polishing anymore ) Thanks everyone for the feedback. Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions.
