Re: Fan Art
Nice one!
You have depth there, and a decent composition. There's something about the characters' poses in this one and your previous image that I'd like to give critique on, though.

Re: Fan Art
woha thx for the feedback
yeah im not completely happy with the low kick, especially how the upper body connects to the legs(his center should be more in front and his feet should have the same length), but i think the open hand makes it look more precise, though as you said one could make the left rabbit seem less stable. i tried to have his left leg point towards the right rabbit (so his left leg is twisted) but it kindof disappeared behind the other things.
in the 3rd arena pic turner is supposed to look hurt & grab his stomach while standing up so his upper body weight rests on his arm so it should be centered i guess. i could have added a bit of bend on the arm / shadow on the inner arm though, it might have made things clearer.
btw in the first pic he grabs the cord(?) of a bridge to get on it, thats why his center is a bit behind his back feet.
but you definately have an interesting way of analysing the poses. i always try to figure out where the center is and where the feet are at and where forces come from. if i want a stable pose, i put the center between both feet, if i want a dynamic one mostly not. when blocking or thrusting /running the vector of all forces on the body should be between the feet / where the body touches the ground, else youll fall over or at least have to move your feet

Re: Fan Art
Yup, center of balance is another big thing. That's the annoying thing about composition - there's countless things and you have to consider each and every one.
If you lean on something, it has to look right. A bent arm is weak, because it requires constant muscle work to keep in that position. A straight arm is rigid thanks to the bone structure. So, leaning down on your arm when you're wounded, the arm should be straight, so that you can rest your muscles. So I don't think you need to add any bending in there, it was clear enough as is.
It was clear he was wounded and leaning, but again, I didn't like the direction that much. It works alright, but could be better. When the hand is at the center, that means the force of the push is going OUT of the center. If the hand is to the cide, the push is towards the center, making the pose more stable.

Re: Fan Art
@RagdollZombie, I like how I can recognize the type of character, even if they arn't shaded, or extremely detailed!
@Thomason1005, I know there isn't much stuff going on in the drawing. So far, I've only done portrait type of pictures, but after my next one, I hope I can get into actions, or set pieces.
My next one will be like an old concept art. It is just so I can understand the character's shapes and sizes better.
Edit: Here is the picture.

Re: Fan Art
Nice!
The shading works well, but the base picture has some minor issues. The left leg is angled a bit weirdly, it's hard to say if it's touching the ground. I see you tried to give him shorter arms and smaller hands, but I think it went a bit too far.

Re: Fan Art
Yeah, I made the forearms, and the hands too small, and I think it detracts from the image. Also, I need to take a look at that leg again I don't know what happened!Endoperez wrote:Nice!

Edit: Here is the edited version. For some reason, the scanned images don't look as neat as the actual image, so I used a variety of filters on the scanner to see which one looks the best. Tell me which one you like! How do the spoilers work? (Thanks Endoperez)
Another Edit! ROFL! I forgot to draw the damn blade on his sword! LOLOLOL!

Re: Fan Art
You need to give the spoiler a title after the = symbol. You can see how it works by quoting a post that uses spoiler tags.
The darkest scan ahows moat contrast, although it is slightly miscolored. Withlut further edits it's likely tve best.
Nice fixes! I like the grass.

Re: Fan Art
I have a new drawing! Cats haven't been getting any love in the fan art thread lately, so I decided to draw one! This cat is an adventurer/warrior. He could have a story behind him, thanks to the stump. OMG I just realized that the monk has stumps too. I didn't steal that idea! I just thought it would be cool, and was just being lazy! Well, I hope you like it. Feedback, as always, is welcome! THANKS!
