art update
Because I haven't posted any pictures here lately.
first is a commission I did for my friend, the_gakushi, who surprised me by ordering... my own character. I have no idea what makes her like Nina this much, especially in this part of her life, when she's an assasin in foreign country, but she usually asks for her as a child. As surprising as it is for me, it's also one of the greatest compliments a person can get on their art and characters. When others like them enough to actually ask for them. So I sat down and tried to make the best piece I could produce, spent really long time on it, tried new things and... actually like the final result. Drawing the tiger was really stressful, because I'm not skilled enough to draw animals and their fur in color>< But he turned out quite believable I think. I hope she likes the final result><
this one is another commission in progress, showing sketch and lineart, to show a little clearer lines to the client, to determine if they're OK with my take on the characters. I wonder if you'll be able to recognize 3 of them... This is my second commission in which I'm asked to draw zombies... I thought the first one showed that I CAN'T draw zombies. Looking up refference pictures makes me feel sick so I can't make them look believable ;_; I'm affraid I'm gonna ruin this one ;_;
aaand a little rant, again. I'm in a ranting mood this week^^; but this time it'll be an egoistic rant about my art. but not because I'm not happy with it. The opposite, actually. I'm aware that my pictures aren't perfect and they need work, like everything. But I finally reached a point where I can draw most of my ideas, I'm happy with the way I construct my characters, I vary them by built, facial features and so on, I manage to work on backgrounds to make them look pretty ok I think. But for some reason... I became invisible to most people, and most people I mean people I know. Even in real life. My group of real life friends revolves around drawing and conventions really. By improving my skills, I always wanted to finally fit with them, get acknowledges somehow. But it didn't happen. I was pushed away even further. And I don't know what happened. Was what I took as improvement actually deterioration of my skills? Did gaining something make me lose something else? I don't know what to think. I don't have any way to see people's reactions because places I've always put them on suddenly feel deserted... and I'm just really confused. I'll keep working on my pictures, no doubt about it. But it'd be nice to know what I do right and what I do wrong.... end of rant
