That seems to be the appropriate expression for a dorf. :v

HMMMMMMMMMMM

The smudging needs some more practice, but you got it pretty nicely on the rightmost snowy mountain. From what i understand, smudging is generally to be used carefully, as it's otherwise going to be plenty obvious that it's used uh... Everywhere. There are some places where the texture it gives is perfect, but it just doesn't work for everything. That said, the motives you have going are really cool, so i'm looking forward to seeing more. c:

Shook, I feel like your digital work might benefit from a bit more focus on line weights. You do it on paper, but it seems to have been lost in translation.

Yeah, true, but the problem is that i chiefly base my line weight on the shading (dark areas get heavier lines etc), and with the digital style i'm using, it's rather tricky to change line weight after the lines have been placed, and i typically don't think of shading until after i've more or less finalized the lines. Admittedly i could benefit from at least doing it based on distance, but i'm kind of a lazy shit when it comes to changing pen size. :V

also introducing a quick doodle that i ended up liking

I'm almost starting to enjoy pencil more than digital.

[BlackFlyme]

I'm still trying to get the hang of digital arts. Not that my pencil work is much better.

It feels like I'm fighting the tablet sometimes, so the smudging is my poor attempt to either blend colours or hide my preliminary outlines without getting rid of them completely.

Anyways, hopefully this isn't too bad. My art marks aren't stellar.

Ooo, cool scene! The smudging is much more subtle here, and that makes it look a lot nicer to me. As for struggling with the tablet, trust me, that's just a matter of practice. At some point it'll basically become second nature, and then you don't have to worry about hiding little flaws (which you shouldn't be doing anyways).

and here's where i'd normally post a doodle but it turned out terribly so you'll have to make do with this silly little animation i made to explain to people what caev means

Kinda reminds of near a tomato. Good.

It's one of the more anime things I have painted. It does have a bit of a NieR vibe, but I don't know how much extra you're noticing it because of the title.

@Flyme Your Ash Lake looks good! My one tip would be to try to make use of more of your available range of values - most of that is down in the 50% black or more range, which makes it look same-y at a glance. If you made the mist/clouds whiter, darkened the lake a little, and brought the tree up more into the midtones I think the composition would be a lot more striking.

Well hey, if it call it an automaton and it looks like a light-haired lady in a dress with a sword, you know where my mind's gonna go. ;V

[technicallyAdventurer]

i have no idea why i made this dude but he sure does exist now, i guess. (he unfortunately lost his left eye, partially to my vision going blurry, partially to the fact this was more something to keep me occupied versus something i wished to complete)

-awesomesnip-

Dude o_o Long time no seeee! Your dude looks awesome too by the way. It's like I'm staring at the finished product of a well designed character. Just without color!
(Heya Tech! Wishing you well there \o/)

[technicallyAdventurer]

hey! its been a while, but im nothing if not absent for long periods of time :') i hope you're doing well too and thank you very much for the compliment
i'd color him but paint is not very merciful

[IndigoFenix]

I took the advice and improved the sprite.

Looks better I think, but I'm still a bit iffy on how to highlight and shade properly.  I'm trying to make it look like a hooded robe, but it doesn't really seem right for some reason.  Looks too much like hair or a hat.

[Parsely]

It's because the highlight on the top of the head is so big. It makes it look like there's a flat surface there. Try reducing the highlight a little. It's starting to look pretty good, keep it up!

[snow dwarf]

Spoiler: really proud of this one (click to show/hide)

[EnigmaticHat]

Oooh, that looks like the art from Darkest Dungeon.

[Shook]

It does! Too many visible eyes to truly be that style, though. Still plenty to be proud of in that piece in spite of that.

also floofnoodle

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is swordnoodle's mom. I tried giving her a flowy-wispy appearance to go with the fact that she's the most powerful air dragon out there. :v (also note: the above is not her TRUE FORM(tm), it is a cleverly downplayed disguise)

[Cathar]

So ehm, after working on my pages, I felt like I needed to have a break, so I started a bit of chill drawing, to work on my anatomy a bit and try new things



Also have a little WIP for color, still quite early
