Haven't posted here much, oops.

Here's a trainer and her Milotic exploring Hoenn's beautiful oceanic landscape! :D

How have I not seen this gallery sooner?!? This work is absolutely fantastic! Everything from the colouring, shading all the way down to the human anatomy is perfect. My favourite piece is the Ampharos finding a secret grotto, the shading on that is so beautiful it makes the picture.

Keep updating this whenever you can! It's brilliant. :)

Jeez, I wish I was this good at your age! You've definitely put a lot of effort into it. Your linework is so clean, with masterful weight variance, and somehow manages to be crisp and soft at the same time. Though there is some perspective and proportional hiccups here and there, you seem to have a good grasp of anatomy and volumetric structure. I love the warm, vibrant feel a lot of your palettes have, too. Glad you started posting again, I didn't even know this was here until now! Keep it up! :D

With my not-always-that-great self-confidence, it definitely matters to me!
I'm incredibly happy to get such patronage, thank you very much <3

Oops, someone's noticing my ineptitudes time to work harder on hiding them >u>

I spend a stupid amount of time finely adjusting and transforming my lines, so it's great to know it shows results! It's a great feeling to be complemented on these things by someone who's so patently experienced in the art of visualizing three-dimensional light and structures. :)

What I think I might be the most worried about right now is that my detail perfectionism might take dominance over the picture as a whole, making everything look like neatly sculptured plastic structures in some flat and boring world... I might have to traverse a bit out of my comfort zone with more dynamic posing, perspective and composition :D

You are quite welcome!

Ah yes, that is a thing that plagues or has plagued just about every artist ever - the focus on detail to the point of forgetting the larger composition. The trick is to work wholistically, roughing out the primary forms and composition first, then secondary details followed by the finest ones. And I still forget the bigger picture a lot myself, particularly with lighting. It helps to zoom out or step back periodically as you work, or another trick if something looks off anatomically or structurally but you can't put your finger on it, mirror the image temporarily and the problems will likely show themselves.

I do those things already like my life depends on it; still stellar advice though, that text should be slapped onto every single digital art website's header for all to read. :D

Probably going to try to train up my eye for image structure, might start with some thumbnail shots and focus on that and nothing else~

Thank you all. :>

Bear in mind you can never practice too much! This crap takes a serious amount of time.




Also since most things I draw are in sketchbooks/never gets finished, here's something I made just for you, internet.

Wow, I really really enjoy your art!
You have a great sense for composition and I absolutely adore your backgrounds as well as your colouring :>
These landscape sketches are really good, I'd like to see at least some of them as finished pieces!

Lecture sketches are the best haha
