Description

Finally!
It is complete!!!

My first full illustration with my own character designs and backround. You wont believe how much frustration and patience went into this piece! Im so glad its all over now. I think I'm going to take a break from drawing for a few days to recover.

Anyway enjoy!!

amazing results. i really like the thick out lines, and the shading and textures, very nice looking colors.
+8 very well done.

Oh dear, the Squall comments are back. Lol :p

This is awesome work! I knew I put you in my favs list for a reason. ;) Your time has been well spent, and I hope that you're enormously proud of this piece!

Lighting, clothes, atmosphere, colour, perspective and the dynamic angle are all great. My two nitpicks would be that the lighting on his face is slightly inconsistent with his clothing and hand (holding the sword) and I think Andrea's head is a little small and flat on top? These are minor points though. You've done a superb job with the background- wish I'd hurry up and get to the stage you're at now!

I know I gave you a +9 on your last piece, and you've done significantly better here, but I'm going to give you another +9. I just know I'm going to kick myself if I give you a +10 now, as it's clear that you're improving in jumps. ^_^ Keep up the great work!

Really nice. Nice to see these actually drawing like images since most of the artists try to achieve realistic touch in their drawings. There's something wrong with his eyes and hair though. Are the eyes over his hair or something? Well...looks funny but since the overall image is so nice it doesn't really matter. Good job!

Thanks so much guys!!! the reason i did the eyes with the transparent hair, is because the hair was going to block out areas of the eyes that needed to appear. i needed all of the white in the eyes and all the iris in to be effective. i tried untransparent hair, but it wasnt very successfull and looked wrong.

ill experiment more to make such things look better in future.

Well done. This is the look I'm going for these days, and you're very good at it. Consider your back patted.
.
I have minor issues with the handling of the face, and the guy's wrist, but I am inspired.
.
I have questions. Is the background a modified photograph? I'm unsure. towards the bottoms it doesn't look lie, so I'm unsure.
The girl's face is elegantly rendered.... something off about the lighting on her shirt though.
.
I can't wait to get my own pc, and give you a run for your money.

What can I say? That's... perfect! I like the eyes over the hair, that's just an style that provides you a better idea of the emotion, the mood that the character gives to you. REALLY well done!
Good job! 10/10!
 
Avatar WarrenLouw

 11/07/04 @474

thanks again for all your comments!!

Harris-Ejaz: nope, the sky had to be rendered from scratch, no reference used. i just for about 10min studied the formation of clouds, so i had an idea how they form and what the principles were.

as for her top, it was rendered also without reference, so not everythings gana be perfect. im still trying to develop my rendering skills so that i can pull off things better still without reference.

Sweet jehoovits, man! That is *amazing*. The combination of line and painting is just.....wow. The only thing that kind of confuses me is his left hand...It seems a little too purple. But, hey, what do I know...

Thanks for making something inspiring for all of us :).

I love it, it looks cell shaded as if you made it in a 3D program. I think it's because of the outlines. By the way, what is the deal with those outlines? What did you do to get them to look that way? I like them alot and it's got my curiosity. 4/5

Do you use a lot of references? At least that would make some sense to me (a little) .Pffw... 19, with only a mouse.

Drinker: thanks! heres a breakdown of what i used reference for.

ok, i needed reference for: his shirt, his black top, his jeans(excluding the red straps and buckle) skin for both characters, and thats it. otherwise things like the backround, hair, the rest of Andrea, Rui's sword, his scarf and belts didnt require any reference.

Silly enough, I feel a bit honoured to ave you comment on my gallery, since this artwork reveals so much technique its almost breathtaking.. even with reference for the some clothes, its still one heck of a wonderful detail job and composition, not to mention the vivid appearance of the characters...

Its so hard to believe someone can achieve this with a mouse! You truly deserve congratulations on this work.. and I'm giving it my maximum rate , +7/7, even if its from a while ago, its still something to be amased at and deserves recognition.
