So this is hopefully my piece for June's artisinal (I only have 16 days, eep...), and before I colour any more, I'd like thoughts on the layout/character design. Dylara, Exeryte, Synl - this is for you guys, so I'd really like your critique. It's made to look like a movie poster, with Dylara and Ex in the front and Synl looming over them, looking cool. Think Disney posters, if that helps any? Uhhh...
P.S. I was too lazy to look up what nekai look like so I Googled nekote. Hopefully it still looks cool.

It's going to be fabulous!
I really need to get to work with mine.
...Perhaps I would do better if I'd use more than a day or two for my pieces, hrm.

I used to only spend a couple of days, but I do better when I feel less rushed. But I always get easily sidetracked, too...
Saaga2008-06-13 21:56:29
Hee, same here. And I always submit just before the deadline, bad me.

Dylara looks pretty!
As for her maces..hmm. The one she's holding back looks slightly too small.

Yeah, I was trying to do some funky perspective thing, I don't know if it succeeded. Thanks, I'll see if I can make it bigger!

It looks good can't to the finished picture.
Kharaen2008-06-13 22:53:21
The sketch is nice and loose, and I love how the colouring is turning out.
Ashai2008-06-13 23:14:41
It does look quite good! But the real question is... when will you do the other side of your family?

Is this to say I didn't already look pretty?
Also, you know I love it Ried. Looks great with the other two!

Obviously, I'm only talking about the important ones.

That's the ugliest sternal mouth I've ever seen.
I love it.

Oh man, I should go back to human.
I always like being shown as the evil mastermind. It's both true and appealing.

He requested 100 roses and 200 kephera corpses.

I bow to your mad art skills. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Although, Exeryte looks all eerie and intimidating for someone who was throwing pie to the Ravenwood the other day xD

Since no one else has said it yet, I think Synl's right hand looks a little shriveled compared to his left. Not sure if that's a true in-game character defect or another awkward perspective effect, but it's one of the few things I find off-putting. Nice job!
Feyrll2008-06-14 16:05:16
That is seriously nice, I really like your art style, and I'm -particularly- envious of the fact you have mastered the fiendish art of clothing folds.
The character designs are great, wouldn't change a thing about them.
In terms of layout, if you can, maybe you want to move the girlie close in, to close that gap between the illithoid and her? Or maybe move her in and down a little, so we can clearly see where the illithoid's other arm is. Took me a while to realize he was holding the pole with his arms and was not actually one-armed.
Love the girl's pose by the way.

Exeryte's other arm is going to be a lot more obvious once I add colour, but I see what you mean. I'll fiddle with Dylara's placement.
