Viktoriya—Art School Journey

[Frygidal]

Your lineart is getting better and better Vika! I love both top ones, but anatomy of the bottom one is lacking, she has far over-buffed lats, probably her deltoid is a bit too far from the body (that's probably also a reason why you needed so big lats) and arms anatomy looks distracting (and they are a bit too thin I think) + hand on the hip seems a bit too small. Hope it helps because the everything else is awesome!

[WeirdOwl]

The hand is small for sure, thanks for pointing that out. The anatomy will be weird, as I'm studying this style, because their proportions are exaggerated both in concept art and in-game, and I'm looking at both. Until I find a good recipe for balance, brace yourself

[chiara.arcidiaco]

Vika those are so great. The posed one I would say that it's a professional level, awesome job this week

[WeirdOwl]

Thanks Shea-ra I think we're all progressing like crazy. Your art has evolved so much since I first saw your submissions.

[chiara.arcidiaco]

I would love to see us redrawing our first submissions, it could be stunning hahah

[WeirdOwl]

Maybe around Christmas time we can make a challenge like that

[chiara.arcidiaco]

Vika this is a GREAT idea, now I'm looking forward to Christmas even more hahaha

[WeirdOwl]

New book cover art.

[chiara.arcidiaco]

Vika this is, I don't know what to say it's so so beautiful hahah It's a pity that it will be on a small size and you can't overload it with details, I want the poster of it hahahaha looking forward to see the next two af the series

[Frygidal]

Really nice job Vika, it makes for a really nice book cover, I would comment some about soft edges tho... but what strikes me most is the light, especially in the guy arm area, from cast shadow of her hair and overal lightning there should be a lot of AO in his cap and his arm would cast shadow on his hip. Really nice faces tho and i love this bounce light on her jaw :3

[WeirdOwl]

@chiara.arcidiaco Thank you. You always make me feel better about my art. True morale officer!
@pitrek121Thank you for your recommendations! I'll implement in the next art. I have been really hesitant with shadows this time since I tend to make everything too dark.

[WeirdOwl]

I have been working on fixing the pose for the reskins and getting a hang of the stylized anatomy of Sergi Brosa lately. As always, C&C are welcome.

[Frygidal]

I love the whole exploration and the space-heels I think there is some problem with this leg behind on the sketch, I think it would attach close to the leg towards us, it now looks a bit like coming out of the hip instead from under the hip

[WeirdOwl]

Here's the version with construction lines if it helps understanding the build a bit better.

[Frygidal]

It would be all right if she was standing straight because I know girls have tighs gap but when you have your feet lined up I think most of the gap is gone but if you had life reference then it's my bad as well hips are widest where the femur head is located especially when the leg is back because muscles stretches in this position

[WeirdOwl]

I understand what you mean, but this applies to normal girls. Video game characters and, apparently, Victoria Secret models have a superpower. Check this out.

[Frygidal]

But you have different perspective they are all fully front and her hips are tilted and then the back leg starts to cover/gets closer to her front one in the crotch area, that's my opinion tho

[Frygidal]

I think this is much more closer to how you posed her than these photos and she is very slim as well

[WeirdOwl]

Thanks Peter. I will keep that in mind when I get back to realistic style Right now this is exactly what I'm trying to step away from. And, as Ethan Becker says, push till fail and learn from the educated fails

[Frygidal]

Of course, learning from fails is the fastest way possible I really like stylised style as well but from whole your sheet only this seemed strange to me, that's why I pointed it out
