OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase VI

[gurgleflep]

I haven't been artistic lately so here's a dwarf I made over the course of 12 hours of laziness today. First thing I've made since Thanksgiving or so.

[ThePrez1776]

I love how you made the lizardfolk Ancient Chinese and Vietnamese. And is that a Survey Corps lizard in there?

I'm so glad you noticed! I had been reading about Chinese and Vietnamese Clothing, as well as clothes from some other countries, and I thought it would be cool to try out.

And yes, we do need some brave lizard women to defend us from the titans

Thought I'd share some of what I've been working on recently. Please ignore the errors on the sides of some of these. I forgot to click export only what's selected.

asdflove, I love the Pokemon-creatures! So cute.

Here's Bozok.

Those are all incredible. I like how Null is the only one frowning. Emote is just awesome.
One thing that struck me as odd and interesting was that Null was the only one with eyebrows. I assume it is to add to his expression.

Even the originals are better than anyhing I can do.

The family tree type setup is also cool.

The family tree type setup is also cool.

That is the Love Dodecahedron that these characters are tied up into.

For the record, the new spirits since that image:
Arc is after Terra.
Both Shade and Emote are after Null.

The designs are kind of monochromatic (though that might be the point), but otherwise, I like 'em.

What does the circle mean, in that context?

Flaming Eagle made an avatar for me, and I'm thinking of improving it by myself (instead of pestering him). You can find the larger version of the image in my sig.

I got the following feedback:

The avatar appears slightly pixelated, in the hair region. (though that could be my monitor playing tricks on me)
Coat compared to the position of the feet looks like it's dragging on the floor, like a child utting an adult sie coat (unless that's on purpose)
Arms appear too stiff. (particulary the right (character's right) and of inconsistant length (the left arm is longer than the right)
genral position fels a little stiff in the upper aera.
Not much to say in general, if it's a first avatar then it's a decent effort, but anyway it needs to be reworked, improved.)

4/10

The coat is indeed supposed to be dragging on the floor, but I don't know how to fix the others. Any help here please?

Just a barrier to indicate no connections.

Emote's (and Ivy's, not that that's relvant) hair took like half an hour to do on it's own because I decided I didn't want her to have gradient hair anymore.
I, like the giant, only use eyebrows to show emotions. Null is supposed to look bored.
...
The original original one? The one under the spoiler in the spoiler. The one that is so old that it's on photobucket instead of Imgur? I see that one, and I want to hit my head on the wall.

Tis intentional.

Any help here please?

What program are you using?

The stiff arms can be fixed by rounding them a little. The sleeve on the left is basically a rectangle. A small curve could help here. Try to make it droop down a little along with the arm. While you're on that, extend said arm a little so it gains a proportionate length to the other arm. The stiff position, or posture of the character can be fixed by adding a small arch or curve to her back. Oots females don't have 'square' bodies like their male counterparts. All in all though, a great effort. I would have definitely given you at least a 7, especially since it's a first timer.

Is it wrong for me to find those skeletons cute? I think it's their little jackets that do it, bless them.

A month or so ago I tried to get an avatar made but it never materialised, and I had a bit of spare time yesterday so I decided to give it a go myself. I think I've probably gone the most awkward and long-winded way around doing things with Inkscape, but I at least ended up with something kind of okay looking, if a bit ragged around the edges:



Bigger version:

Any critique would be awesome because I want to make it better. I think the face, boots and maybe the pose are all a bit iffy. I know the head is far too small for OotS, but it looked really weird when I tried to make it any bigger.

EDIT: I copied a reference picture really, really closely, as I wasn't confident on what I was doing, though it best to include that for reference:

I agree with what Tiffanie Lirle said about their suggestions. Additionally, I believe it could be improved by making the coat itself curve more down to the ground. It seems rather stiff, as the lines are more or straight down diagonally. I would have the lines more curved in general, and curve out much more at the bottom, if that make sense

Since I'm overall poor at describing things, here's a picture to show it.

Additionally, If it's supposed to be a trenchcoat type thing, it would normally have a back to it, which would be drawn. As it stands right now it seems to be like two long flaps hanging down from the front (almost like a reverse tailcoat.) I don't know if that's intentional, though.

[Cuthalion]

Peebs, you are really really good at this. I couldn't have done better.

That being said, the mouth is too thick and up and to the right, and the shoes could use a little rounding.

But awesome job.

[Peebles]

I pretty much just copied over the reference picture and simplified it.

I can see what you mean on both points, and the eyes look shonky to me too. At least I know I'm on the right track!

*toddles off back to Inkscape*

EDIT: Fiddled around with the hair a bit, shifted the mouth to make it a little more central, and fussed around the boots for a while without actually making much impact.

[goto124]

I wanted the legs to be visible, which due to the color of the coat, won't be visible if the back was filled in. Even more so at avatar size.

And I really should get an image editor more suited for OotS style art. I'm using pixlr.com/editor, which is probably best for other kinds of image editing. I recommend people check it out anyway.

I know very little right now, but would a side-on or isometric viewpoint work better for the avatar? Based on your description of how you requested the robe, it's the kind of garment that's going to be pretty hard to do face-on. In profile or just turned a little, it would be easier to show the robe dragging on the floor, to put in a back, maybe draw the character in the process of stepping forward so that one leg breaks through the gap and pushes one side of the robe aside?

Another option could be to have the robe fully open, a kind of wraparound cloak more than a robe? Then it could be all billowy and impressive looking, and floaty enough to not black out the legs too much.

It's overall a very good job! The only thing that I can think of is changing her right leg a little bit to make her calf more directly under her thigh, but that's a pretty minor issue. I don't think the head size is that much of an issue, especially since you are already deviating a little from classic OotS style a little bit. I think the hair change is a good improvement. I really like the detailing on her costume.

Thanks for the comments on the skeletons too, by the way!

[gurgleflep]

Happy belated Valentines day everybody, have a pink-centric wizard!

[ti'esar]

Aww, poor goblin.

Or whatever the thing that head belonged to was.

[goto124]

Real men wear pink!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Real men wear pink!

There's a reason for that. Fun fact

Pink When colors were first introduced to the nursery in the early part of the 20th century, pink was considered the more masculine hue, a pastel version of red. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, was thought to be dainty. Why or when that switched is not clear, but as late as the 1930s a significant percentage of adults in one national survey held to that split.
