Hey guys, I figure I would chime in here. I usually do commercial and narration voice work, but I'm interested in doing more character acting via voiceover. If you have a project that I can help with, send me a message!

I guess I got disqualified for not following the unstated rule against xenomorphic porn.

Congrats to the winners and everyone who competed! I know I got the chance to meet a lot of other artists who I'm looking forward to seeing stuff from in the future.

I'm actually embarrassed I entered now.

That's terrible to hear, but I guess haters are just going to hate.

Personally I haven't had any negative comments in the reviews on my piece, but I HAVE noticed a much larger number of "blam" 0-1 votes on the star rating counter. It is interesting that people seem to be annoyed by adult works, when they are easily (and in fact by default) filtered from view.

Curse working the graveyard shift! Here you guys go:

Just updating on my progress. Spent some time today inking and laying in flats.

Just updating, I've been pretty sick the past day so I wasn't able to get as much done when I got home as I would have liked. I need to get some more rest before I come back to this.

More inking, mostly in Holo's hair. Went ahead and painted the eyes so they didn't look like zombies anymore.

The upper third is a little dull and pushes the viewfinder off center. You'd probably be better off jusy cropping the top of his head out of the picture and making the top edge of the viewfinder the same distance from the center as the bottom. Aside from that, it's quite stylish. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

I'm not sure at all what you mean by "semi-realism" it looks like pretty standard stylized illustration to me, but that's besides the point. Your lighting has 2 big problems:

1 - it's really flat, don't be afraid to push your contrast more, it will help you better define your subject as an object with depth.

2 - your light source is inconsistent, different body parts are being lit by many different lights, often unique to that body part. For example your hair is being lit from different directions with each separate clump of hair. My only real advice is to work on some still lives and really study how the light interacts with the surfaces. You'll then be able to take that knowledge into your other illustrations.

Well it doesn't look too bad, you're really lacking in a consistent light source though (that light is just bouncing all over place depending upon which body part you look at) and it would probably be better to rough in ALL or MOST of your colors before getting into the finer rendering, but as an experimental piece it seems to have worked out halfway decently.

jeshwa pretty much hit the nail on the head, the composition is majorly cramped into the lower center of the piece. He offered one solution, but you could alter the perspective in a number of ways to help improve the the layout of the elements. Also consider rendering the ice a bit more carefully, there's a missed opportunity to include a story behind why the character is hanging off the ledge (such as did they slide off? Then there would be a track of scraped ice and snow leading to the edge).

I'm doing anything request mash-up, this time combining 2 anime chicks; CC from Code Geass and Holo from Spice and Wolf, in some sapphroic picnicing. This was just going to be a quick throw away sketch, but I liked the composition so much I decided to try and make it actually look nice for a change.

Previous steps:
Initial Roughs
Some refinement (big)

You are here:
More refinement and some inking (Big)

I'm beginning to ink some parts with the intention of coloring it, which has had the interesting side effect of causing both Holo and CC to suddenly get rather zombified eyes.

Also, the Japanese is kind of a rough and dirty mash-up between Holo's weird archaic way of speaking and CC's super-formal highbrow. It roughly equates to the English text included, but if you've got more experience with the language than I do I would love to hear your thoughts on that in addition to the usual crits on things like composition, design elements, etc.

As always, enjoy and let me know how you think it could be improved.
