fioricca's art thread (was: [art thread])

[fioricca]

asldfjkh I am probably going to regret this very very soon but here goes nothing

/quietly slips out of a long, long hiatus... except I feel horrible coming back with nothing so here's a free sprite, at least

Meet Genki-kun, first of a series of common character stereotypes (tsundere, kuudere, etc) that I'm planning to work on! Whether I actually finish them or not will most likely depend on my fluctuating confidence haha... orz The actual size is about 1000 px in height so they'd fit on most resolutions, and contains two different outfits, gakuen and casual. I've also included the nude version if anyone wants to add their own outfits, which it totally cool by me. Free for both commercial/non-commercial (although I highly doubt anyone uses free sprites for commercial work), credit [ nuge ], etc etc.

... and now this thread will be ignored /face in hands

Aw, he is cute. I am sure if there are more matching sprites people will definitely use them in their games. He looks very professionally done. Looking forward to seeing more.

[Geckos]

Love the colors and the wide range of expressions/poses. You should totally do more :B

[15385bic]

agrees with FatUnicornGames - this looks totally pro
such a range of expressions and poses - maybe hard to find matching sprites when this one's so high above the rest *A*

[C7N]

This is so good. Are you a professional artist? Anyway, I love it. Great colors, expressions and I think the clothes are especially good. Keep up the good work!

[fioricca]

... asdfhghdg I knew I was going to regret posting this sob why does everything look so weird!! q_q

Ahh thank you so much for your comments, everyone! I'm really glad you like them, it means a lot. (@C7N: n-no I'm not haha which is why these look raw and awkward, but thank youuuu.) I am working on the next character now. I've been taking a number of pointers that's been scattered around this forum with regards to colour to heart, and I did manage to get something that looks more interesting overall --

Except I realise I don't know how to use colours that are not purple or yellow OTL Still struggling with folds and polishing up my anatomy; my poses look stiff for some reason! T_T H-Help...?

I'm liking how the mix of colours makes things more interesting, so I reckon I'll re-do Genki-kun at some point in the future. |D;

eta; finished Tsundere-kun! I had an image of a tsundere bocchan in mind, so he ended up being a pretty boy sort of character. |D;

[AshenhartKrie]

Purple hair dude is sexy. ^_^
I love your art, as well as the expressions, the poses don't look TOO stiff to me, maybe a little bit. Sorry, I can't really give any constructive critiscm or however you spell it.

[borisoda]

wow these look really professional... gonna save thanks...

[ghostbunnies]

Oh wow, how gorgeous!
I really like Tsundere-kun's hair~
(What's wrong with turning out as a pretty boy sort of character, anyway?)

I'm curious what other stereotypes you'll do. (:

[fioricca]

adsjf thank you so much, I'm really glad that all of you like them! I tried to make sure that they'd be up to standard; it'd be such a shame if someone made a game with lovely writing but without the visuals to complement it. I hope I haven't failed in that regard.

the poses don't look TOO stiff to me, maybe a little bit. Sorry, I can't really give any constructive critiscm or however you spell it.

Nonono, don't apologise. I'm glad to hear that the poses aren't noticeably stiff; maybe I'm just seeing things. XD Thank you.

I'm curious what other stereotypes you'll do. (:

Thank you so much; it's encouraging to hear that someone's looking forward to them!

[CuppieKeyk]

Wow ! You ARE Amazing !
OMG, Master >w< ! Teach me =O,
yup yup ! The purple hair dood is cool >w<
Thank you very much for posting ! Don't regret this, someone might hire you as their artist for a good price <'3
Again ~! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G, I'm gonna look out for your current game projects if you will have, It will sure be interesting ~ Keep on going ! I'll support you ~! [LOLS]
Edit : I am not so reading, really. .__.

Much Munch ~~ =3

[fioricca]

adjsg /drowns in all the compliments

Thank you so much ;_; I'm honestly flattered to hear that. Speaking of game projects, I've only just started whipping up concept sketches buuuut let me put it up here for feedback/so this thread isn't just free sprites



... now everyone knows how miserable I am at girls and boobs and that is why my sprites are all dudes

[izukwon]

Wait--what? I think you draw the girl better in that picture. The guy's head is a lil bit too small for me :/ And I like the boobs :3

[fioricca]

-- ENTIRELY TRUE. I had a friend comment on the sketch for me so the dude looks less like a 210-cm monster from outer space so fixed version--!!



Kept his wide shoulders/chest so he gives off a re-assuring air. |D;

@izukwon: Ahh I'm so glad to hear that -- I'm not very confident when it comes to drawing girls (especially shapely ones!) so that means a lot ;o; Boobs!!

[izukwon]

Ummm sorry if you feel like I'm pestering you, but, you see, I still think the head is a lil bit too small *w*
I was taught by my lecturer that the ratio of the head is 2 times the neck. From neck(the base of it, the collarbone 0w0) to nipple would be a head long, from nipple to bellybutton, and from belly button to crotch, all are a head long each as well.
That's what I know. Maybe it could be useful for you hehe xD
