chocojax's Art Thread [Critique always appreciated!]

[chocojax]

Thanks for the reply, LWR!

I've been trying to think about how to go about separating the planes through the colors, and it's been difficult. (Mainly because one of my biggest weaknesses at the moment is color, haa)

I tried to make the foreground the most saturated > midground > background, although since the background is the sky, it'd be a nicer blue since it's the sky itself?

Thanks for the help and for the video! I was mainly lookin' around the color section but found the composition tag just now, so I'll have to look over those tomorrow.

Of course, here are some more updated WIPs.



and back-shadow vs front-shadow (her skin also makes for good focus)




I thought the second image would be more interesting to draw. I'll look at it again tomorrow to see which one's better to look at, I suppose.

The third image could work really well with a strong light source in the top left corner of the image and some rim lighting on the rock and figure. You might have to employ some bounce lighting from the ground to keep the core shadow from being too dark, but it could be a very dramatic composition.

As you can probably tell from the lack of updates, I abandoned that picture, hah. Thanks a lot for your help though, LWR!

Here, have some self-portraits I drew for art class. The one on far left was worked on too much for my tastes, but I was given 2 1/2 hours on it in class, and didn't want to just laze around or start on another one, so.

[Green Glasses Girl]

Wow, those are great! You have a good range of styles!

Since NaNoReno is finally over, I'd like to do some requests for people!

I will only complete requests for people who completed their NaNoRenO 2014 game.
Applies for people who completed their NaNoRenO game past the deadline! Gogogo!

List will be ordered by, and requests will be done by the time and date the game was completed!
I will also stop doing requests when I get tired/busy, so please don't get upset/angry if I stop before I get to you!

I like messin' around with styles, but most likely, I'll draw something like this:


LIST OF REQUESTS
1. The Mishka Effect!!!!!!!!
2. Six Rules!!!!!!!! (not nano)

[Duskylli]

^ she's really cute! I just want to pinch her cheeks. Congrats on getting Visual Novel Tycoon out!

Oh can I request anyone from "The Mishka Effect?" http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 11&t=25941

[chocojax]

Thanks, man. Congrats to you as well!

Hope 'ya like it.

[Coren]

This is so awesome! O: Unfortunately I didn't do ReNO this year... I guess Six Rules doesn't count? Hahaha.

[Duskylli]

aslkj asodfi alkjg oaasjf!!! This is really amazing!!! I wasn't expecting you to draw everyone plus the chair. Bizzaro's pose and expression xD...coworkers really handsome here... and I really like how you did park ranger stuck in the void. Thanks so much for drawing this. I was happy to complete Nano but this is like the icing on top of the Nano cake

Do you mind if I post this in the dev thread and maybe another site? Can link back to your site if you like?

[chocojax]

@Coren: Haha, thanks! Well, I'm planning on leaving this up for a week or so, but I'll put it at the end of the list. (I'll probably be able to get to it, since it seems like not a lot of nano'ers want to request, or they just haven't finished yet.)

@Duskylli: No problem, man! Bizzaro was the cutest one in my opinion, just a little bit... strange. :P
Nah, go ahead and post it anywhere. If you wanna link it, do it for chocojax.spacenote.net.
(Oh wow, I just realized that your username was Duskylli, not Duskylili. '3'...)

[kaleidofish]

WOW, CHOCOJAX THAT IS AWESOME!!!! Straight-up capslocking AWESOME. I assume what you said to Dusky applies to me, too, what with the linking permission and all. Thank you, thank you, this is the most awesome thing, wow...

[Hazel-Bun]

I shall request the pretty arts when my NaNo is out late as ever-- ;o;

[chocojax]

Gonna close requests since I should be focusing on makin' stuff for that one VN I'm working on. ):

(I will get to Coren's request, though. Maybe sometime this week!)

So that this post won't just be a two-liner, here's a background I've been working on. Still gotta add in a few things like books in that bookshelf, but for the moment, I'll take a break and work on something else. '3'
