Shrink ~ Teach Me How to Art

[Shrink]

Hi everyone I decided that it would be best to create a new thread based on the most recent projects I'm doing for my art thread rather than clutter up that one again like I did with the Divine Glory piece.

I'm also making this thread because I know I need work. I guess we can call this my art class I would love to get feedback on my updates each week. I will be handling a new project around every two to three weeks (maybe two projects if is kind to me).

I will include the request and/or any further information given by the player whom requested the art.

Every time I update the piece drastically, I will update this thread.

Feedback from skilled artists and the requester will be most appreciated. I'd love to keep this thread as serious as possible, but let's have fun all the same

Thanks!

Spoiler for Past Requests:

Spoiler for Unfinished Zblader request:

Spoiler for Side note:

I really do need to practice drawing the human form a lot more for I can attack something so difficult. I stopped this project because I am far too inexperienced to create a piece as well as I wish I could. For another day, perhaps.

On the Block: Zblader Original Request: Hmmm. Could you draw a female Angel with wings of water and similar armor style as DG? I'm thinking the angel in question has a more dynamic pose like this: Spoiler for Hidden: Further Information: Most Recent Update: Spoiler for first attempt: Users' Thoughts:

Spoiler for Jenkar's Serpent Request:

On the Block: Jenkar Original Request: Now, another request : triple set of request, really. Request 1 : A serpent, coiling around a quantum pillar, with wings, skeletal hands animating something, and a rainy background (a watery glowing in the serpent's eyes too). Basicly, should have :  (serpent),  (wings),  (hands),  (eyes & background) linked, but not superposing on each other. Request 2 : A guardian. Theme of  ,  ,  ,  in it, with the same linked, but not superposing on each other. Think an immortal guardian that does only the necessary movement to protect what he has to protect. Request 3 : Absolutely no idea on this one's form. Avatar of destruction through immense activity. Themes of  , same restriction on linking as before. Further Information: Spoiler for Hidden: More detail? Okaaayyyy. Basicly, the three of them are the three different forms of one and only creature. The serpent, first form. Death => Void. Air => Freedom. Highly linked with death, because death is freedom from emotions. Water => Patience. Hide till you are disturbed, and if you are, just flow him away. Darkness => Using others. Both for themselves and for himself. Aims : knowledge. Peace, not of the world, but of self. Calm, lack of restraints, ability to do whatever he wants. Understanding others, for freedom of their whims. Ultimately, once freedom has been reached, fun becomes the objective. The guardian, second form . Earth => Outer balance. Protect against anything physical. Gravity => Inner balance. Protect against self. Light => Stability. No change in behavior or altering of its constitution by outside influences. Aether => Complete knowledge. How to react to any situation in the most efficient, least ''changing'' way. Aim : permanence. Stability. Think if everything was at 0°K, He'd be happy. Last form. Maybe a vortex? Destruction. Entropy => Constant change. Adaptability through try & fail. Fire => Destruction. Constant, unstoppable want to destroy everything, having fun doing so. Life => Activity. Think of adrenaline rushes, boosting oneself through training, abscence of sleep. Time => Speed. Do everything quickly to be able to do more and more. Aim : anihilation of everything. Most Recent Update: Spoiler for third update: Spoiler for second update: Spoiler for first update: Spoiler for first attempt: Users' Thoughts: Notes on first attempt: I'd see him WAY less huge (width). Think of not seeing the whole quantum pillar. Also, not looking at user, but doing its own thing.

Modified with non-color version! ^^

I'm quite pleased hehe..

The hands seem a little small in proportion to the rest of the body. Is this intentional? (I'd suggest extending their 'arms' out a bit and enlarging the hands.)

Jenkar and I are further working on this piece, including the hands. We'll see where he wants to go with it ^^

[Drake_XIV]

The wings seem out of place.  Looks more like a random bat that's obstructing the view.  But that's just my opinion...

Just saying, I'm sure vrt would love to be contacted before derivative works are created from his originals. Looks interesting.

Modified with the color version. Jenkar and I worked on this piece in chat; this is how he would like it.

Thanks for mentioning this. I PMed him to OK this.

EDIT: Finished Jenkar's piece. Moving on to Zblader's. I will try to start it as soon as possible ^^

Would've appreciated a headsup before you did this, but by all means, keep it up.


Thanks jmiz.

My apologies, it really didn't even cross my mind, but thank you all the same.

@Zblader: I finished the first sketch to give you an idea of where this may be headed. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but you can tell me what you think. ^^

[ZephyrPhantom]

Looks pretty solid.

My thoughts :

The motion seems too stiff, as if the pose was intentionally done for a camera. Try to relax her a bit and make it look like she just slashed an opponent with a sword.
Her back leg (the right one) should be on the ground as well so she gives the impression of landing - right now it feels like she's skipping casually (which might also be a side effect of the stiff pose.)
Her hair should be long and in a ponytail that is whipping outwards, to emphasize the fact she's landing from an aerial attack.
