Moving over the thread from the other site. Didn’t have a lot of things on there, so it should be easy.
Hi guys. It’s been a few years since I’ve drawn anything seriously, and now I have a DND group with a diverse cast of characters as inspiration. My first project is my half-elf hexblade. Here’s a rough face concept with base colors laid down. Feel free to really rip into my art as I need to learn how to handle tough critiques as well as know where I’m weak.
I need to make the ears less pointy as I forgot I was a half-elf. Also, can’t seem to quite get that spiky punk hair I want, but I’m sure it’ll work itself out in iterations.
Working on the hair, trying to see if I can get it how I want it to be. Been playing around with the chalk brush and I really do like it. My facial proportions might be off, like maybe need to lower the nose just a touch or just redo the nose entirely.
Critiques are welcome.
Armor concept silhouettes.
Found a posture online (terrible, I know, but needed something quick). I like the asymmetrical spikes along the figure more; brings an interesting movement and balance to the overall figure. Think I’ll focus on pointy elements throughout the armor since the character can be a bit abrasive lol.
Second round of possible silhouettes.
It feels like something is missing. Can’t quite put my finger on it….
Critiques are welcome.
Been painting with oils more.
Day and Night, oil on canvas, 11×14 in.
I wanted to play around with value expectations of what the sun looks like at different points in the sky. There’s also a bit of value shifting, which was something I was trying to be conscious of to practice that skill. Not sure if you can see it, but there’s some texture within the paint that I’m using to subtly move your eyes towards the circle.
Critiques are welcome.
Remaking the Hexblade concept as I wanted to change the resolution from 72 ppi to 300. Figured might as well practice being conscious of bone and muscle structure, too. Critiques are welcomed.
Whops, forgot to define the other ear more. Next time.
Well, this sketchbook has been dead for a while. Didn’t mean to let it get that way, but sometimes life happens.
I’ve talked the talk (critiquing what I can here,) now I should walk the walk. I have to admit, I haven’t drawn in a while, so I suck. But, like everyone here, I’m looking to improve and what better way to do that then to do something. So, I’ve entered a challenge on ArtStation called “Beneath the Waves.” It’s the concept/preproduction phase, and I thought, “I’m going to enter, this is a great excuse to draw, who cares if I’m crap. This is for my own improvement.” So, here I am.
This is the Character/Creature portion. Here’s my first couple of entries: a mermaid and a vampire squid-esque thing. Critiques are welcome.
Fourth humanoid, and you’ll notice the jump in ability because, well, I cheated a bit. I found a stock image online of the pose I had so clearly in my head, and I’m absolutely terrible at male anatomy. Working on it, trying to be more conscious of it, but here we are.
Based off an axolotl, maybe a warrior-type of humanoid. Critiques are welcomed.
Ah, nothing like the holidays to throw a monkey wrench into the works. Nothing like realizing you’re going to screech through the finish line of this challenge. But hey, c’est la vie.
I forgot I actually wanted to have the mermaid look like the rainbow snake instead, so I changed that.
